I dont really see any need for this. You have played for a day, give it a few days or weeks and you will adjust. Detecting how hurt I am, or any other info from the promt has never been any problem for me. I just try to keep the prompts as clean as possible, with just the info I need. No more, no less.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't saying there was a "need" for it I'm saying it's something that would be a little more newbie friendly and it would make things easier to look at. Of coarse if you've played CF for forever then you would be used to it. But I would like to see what you would say after you have actually played on a mud that allows this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


>Suggestion Nombre 2: (Yeah well nombre means name in spaniish
>but it still sounds good) Allow carriage returns to be
>included in prompts so multi-line prompts would be available
>for those of us who just have to have every available option
>in thier prompts and want it to be a bit easier to read (HP MP

If you keep your promt clean, you wont need two line prompts. For example, as a ranger/sylvan the only important prompts are hp/mana/moves and if you are in wilderness. And if you want to distinguish hp/mana/moves you put () or similar around it to highlight it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't keep my prompt clean. Or at least what you think is clean. I'll copy paste my prompt here as it doesn't really have any sensitive information.
<100%/100%hp 100%/100%mp 100%/100%mv 1 PM 10000xp civilized>
That's what my prompt is right now I would also like to include System time, Current age, Current hours, and Position in my prompt but this would obviously go over eighty charachters. I use this kind of information often but not every time I look at my prompt. adding in a carriage return allows me to group the information by any catagory I choose and makes it easy for me to look at the info I want when I want it instantly. Whether or not that's what works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone. Once again I encourage you to try a mud that lets you do this and see the difference for your self.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the has been answered elsewhere by Uller, he is not interested in such who commands unless the amount of players increase towards 200.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm curious as to why. I've seen upwards of one hundred players on the mud at any one point and the who list displays a max of twenty two lines then if you include the extra two lines at the end of a space and current visible players. That means that if I want to find that one class or level of player then I have to read through five pages of text and then I have to remember the names of the people who fit my criteria (and thier often difficult to remember because spelling does count). I don't understand why you can list people by race in the first place. As far as I can tell your race, while determining some special abilities, for the most part doesn't really leave much of a cohesive unit (with the exception of Orcs). Just because Joe Blow is an elf and I'm an elf doesn't mean we will be more likely to get along then Jane Doe the human and I. And this isn't because that's what it should be but more along the nature of mudding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>Suggestion Number 4: (You thought I was joking about my
>language skills didn't you... didn't you!!! *shakes his fist*
>heh) Include a format command (Or auto format) for descs and

I advice you to visit www.qhcf.net. They have a wrap chop tool that cut your text into 80 letter lines, and put 'role + ' before each line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again doing that makes people have to go out of thier way to format thier descs. I want to see something that is easy and convenient within the mud so that people will do it. And not everyone knows about the site.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>Suggestion Number 5: I've heard (from nameless immortals) that

>I noticed that there is no help file on Immortals, Avatars, or

I cant answer this, but my take on it is that immortals/avatars is supposed to be a bit mysterious. The imm tag is often imms with religions. Avatars is new imms that just became immortal, and dont have a religion yett.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well then the help file can be mysterious to thier roles. Though it shouldn't be for thier OOC roles. ie. We run the mud. We do the coding. We watch for cheaters. We help provide a safe and fun gaming environment. We also play the roles of gods and goddess' in the form of Avatars Immortals and Implementers. Is more or less what I'm looking for. Something that explains who they are and could even include what you said about them. Remember the help files are "memories" from prior life times. And considering my charachter is allready several hundred years old he would at least understand the difference between an Avatar and an Immortal when he sees one. (and considering all Theran's have the mystical power to see who's active in the land he's probably seen more then one of each).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
