Just for reference, real life skill progression occurs more like this:

unconscious incompetence ---> conscious incompetence ---> conscious competence ---> unconscious competence

Edit: according to this theory at least

My only comment: if you're a lady pc, does your skill say (journeywoman)?

Find out IC.

I think this is a great change.
I remember back in the day when we had the percentage clearly visible and when the Immortals took it away it was difficult.  Over the time it became no big deal (like most change, actually).  I actually used the lack of visible skill points as a selling point for the RPI-ness of the game.

I'm surprised, however, how easy it is to go "back" at least to some degree.  I like seeing a generalized indicator of ability.  I can think - "Hrm, I'm not so good at this - but I'm really good at this - how will I RP that?"

I think it's a good thing.

I would imagine you could roleplay them as such.

I think the display of our skills should be skewed by the drunk code.  When plastered, all skills should show as "master."

I like it, Thunkkin.  Actually, being a little drunk should show a slight boost, and the more drunk you get, the higher all your skills read as.

When sufficiently plastered, your skills should read like they did for April Fool's.

I would be so tempted to play an alcoholic.

Yes. And some skills should show (Horny) and (Victory) and (Sleepy-town) and (Boner).

And

should show up under the 'Manipulation Skills' heading.

Jack, I think you're starting to joke more than make serious suggestions.  That's what the random threads in the OOC forum are for, if you ask me.

I need that mudsexorz skill added please xD

Anyways, I personally like the change.

QuoteI can think - "Hrm, I'm not so good at this - but I'm really good at this - how will I fix that?"

Fixed for you.

I eloquently disagree. Jack should keep it up. But most of all listen to no one but himself.
