16070, Character Description - Idea/Option
Posted by Shadow1ife on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I hope this is easy to code, because I would LOVE it. And I think some other RP freaks out there could too.
With descriptions, I often refrain from using anything describing my position or eyes and looking about. If I'm sleeping for example, or whatever *insert here*. My idea would consist of option descriptions that would be based on position. So you could have a description for when you're standing, a seperate description for resting, and a third for sleeping.
If this was made into an optional thing, people wouldn't have to put a description for resting and sleeping and it would just default to using the standard standing description. Of course, depending on how detailed the code is, maybe it could be a syntax as simple as:
Desc default + *text* Desc resting + *text* Desc sleeping + *text*

16071, Cool idea.

I often can't get around putting certain things in my descriptions which would not make sense while resting/sleeping. But things that I want to be there.
References to height, eye color, posture, etc are just a few of the things which wouldn't make sense while sleeping. I know it's a ticky-tack thing, but the idea does sound interesting, although I'd understand it might be a little too subtle for some folks to care about.

16072, Yes.. I agree about the subtleness

I figure that's the biggest negative going for it, but maybe if its easy enough to code that won't be an issue. I know I'd love it, and it would make looking at people more interesting if people take advantage of it.
