There is no defense to plagiarizing and recycling. Period. Write a desc. It's part of the job. This is not an interpretation question, or a sometimes yes and sometimes no issue. It's a right and wrong, black and white, yes and no.
This entire thread is a waste and should be locked, wiped, and replaced with a simple two line post:
You must write a new description for each character. Period.

It's a social group and we exert pressures on each other like it or not.
I've altared my behavior after feedback from "You people" has mad me reevaluate my stances on some things.
I like the thread personally, but I don't think a lot of the players have solid core values so some of them simply do not think past instant gratification and look at broader ramifications of the actions.
I hear you though.

Punish accordingly going forward for that but additional commentary that is simply wrong does not belong.

For what it's worth, I said there was a comment (not in your PBF history). We have to have a way to comment/note each other when we leave (or, you disconnect) in a "in trouble" room like the realm of the dead, so I have some idea of why you're in there and what I need to do/check/punish to get you out. The brief note I got had a tone that suggested you'd copped an attitude. I have no idea if that's true or not and it really doesn't matter. I think the log shows that that wasn't held against you...you just needed a reasonable description.
You're being entirely too paranoid about your "reputation" and not focused on what you needed to do to get out, which was write something that wasn't a rip-off of a PBF description. This is doubly true since you KNEW we were going to check to see if it was recycled since you were already all over this thread. Which, now that I know who you are, pisses me off that you said you wrote it before logging in because you knew you were in limbo waiting for a description.

This thread is complete ####. Im done with it because it is yet again the staff having more and more control over how we play the game.
If I make any other characters ever again I am going to purposefully steal descriptions now just to spite you guys over how much time has been wasted talking about a non-issue.
Its too bad the immortals bitching about descriptions can't go fix the bugs in the queue instead of going on a crusade about bad descriptions on the player side when the MUD is full of them on the staff side.

I haven't really followed this thread, but I can't believe this is as big of a burden as people are making it out to be."
As someone who does grab descriptions this are my exact feelings towards someone forcing me to change my behavior. Its a stupid issue so let everyone just do their own thing as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

I agree. I was saying I wish the desc nazis were coders. I know they aren't.
>I haven't really followed this thread, but I >can't believe this is as big of a burden as people are making >it out to be.
My thoughts exactly but eh. I was just jagging around I always do my own descs and in fact have caught others stealing ones from my old characters.

Wouldn't spending 5 minutes to write a unique description instead of 5 minutes to browse through and rip-off an already published one be a lot more beneficial to the roleplay of your character?
I can check all the characters logged on in a very, very short period of time thanks to google query tools and some wicked fast copy/paste skills. Besides, what makes you think I'm not busting a RP move on the not-sucky-description chars? I mean...I only found those 4 this morning (and, Dall's char apparently was busted by someone before). You description recyclers seem to be a pretty vocal minority, and I'm stubborn enough to spend the time to stop the practice.

Yes - but that wasn't the question. He asked if you thought spending your time interacting would be more beneficial. He didn't ask if you thought the people you were scolding deserved it. Clearly they do.
I think he's right - why waste your time on the 8% that are misbehaving, when 92% are awesome and want your attention?
Don't get me wrong - I don't blame you for wanting to pick this bone - but I think you're just in a bone-picking mood, and deceiving yourself into thinking you're accomplishing something worthwhile.

I find it really hard to believe that you're scanning fifty descriptions and roleplaying with 46 people in a single morning. Are you telling me you actually DID interact with some of these people? Or are you just blowing smoke? Splntrd

It sounds like you're trying to say... if someone isn't breaking the rules then they are awesome rpers that are deserving of attention. Lots of people really really suck at doing RP things, but they don't break the rules and/or the spirit of the game.
So in this example maybe she only gave 3 people immteraction because only 3 people were being awesome. The other 43 were just acceptable and 4 broke the rules/spirit of the game.

I was saying instead of wasting your time on the few lame asses with bad descriptions (Who I might point out not a single player complained about), how about spending a few minutes of your time interacting with good mortals? Why don't you guys try and do something positive about the MUD instead of pissing off players over something so ####ing trivial, my god this whole thread is so cunty it hurts to read, though I must admit I've never been a Cyradia fan either IC or OOC for more reasons than I care to name.
While you are championing descriptions, maybe take note that my last three caballed characters combined had less immortal interaction then Dallevian just got in the desc room and he isn't even in pk range. I am fairly certain I am not the only player who can say that.

How does that even happen? Especially in a cabal. I barely play and nearly all of my characters (which are uncabaled) get some decent to good interaction by level 30 or so. Maybe it's you?

As other players have been alleging but I've been disagreeing. Maybe there is some truth to that, but I hope not. I am hoping I've just had some really bad luck, is all.
Its funny, with Uhariz I got an absolute ton, maybe due to the RC win, but he was uncaballed.

Maybe it is easier to stand out as uncaballed since you don't have any direct "competition." Or something...
I wouldn't fall back on IP checking conspiracy type stuff. More likely the bad luck thing than that. I did have one character that, I at least, thought was really bad ass a while back. Never got so much as role exp iirc.
Could be Uhariz taints your perception a bit too. Once you have a really well rewarded character, the less rewarded ones have a higher chance of feeling empty to you. I couldn't play for a while after Elorik because I kept worrying why I wasn't getting any loving. Then I remembered that I play because RP is fun, not for rewards, and stopped caring. Heh, funny how interactions improved after that.
Edit: I should point out that I consider negative consequences in an IC light are just as fun for me as positive. Speaking non-rule breaking stuff here of course. I totally expect to have my soul raped if I mistep dealing with Scarab/Enlilthy types, etc.

That's exactly my point. In this situation, I find it really doubtful that we interacted positively and meaningfully with more people than we interacted negatively with. And the positive interactions are way more important to everyone involved than the bone she's picking with the four.
(Not that I want to agree with Oldril - I don't think any of this is cunty. Drama-hounding, maybe.) Splntrd

The "time it took" was minimal until you add in the unreasonable player who doesn't want to change his description and be in line with the basic rules of the game.
Notice that the other three said "oh, ok, let me fix that" and off they went. It's just one person that is trying to make it a personal battle.
I'm not in complete disagreeance with you, but there is nothing wrong with policing to make sure people are in compliance with the basic, easy-to-follow, rules of CF.

Unnecessarily. I didn't care to look through the graveyard to see if I had previously used this description before on a published character. I didn't think I had because the char didn't go anywhere 9 years ago. EDIT TO ADD - More to the point, I did heavily modify my old one to fit this char appropriately. END EDIT
Secondly, you would have likely dealt with me even more relaxed had some wrongly placed comment not suggested I had 1) previously copped an attitude and 2) stolen a desc from a different char in the desc room.
Your last comment does not make sense, I'm not sure what you're getting at or why you're pissed. I did write it beforehand because I want to abide by the new rules you all want for descs. I knew I had lifted one when I hit level 11 and wanted to keep ranking. So I wrote a new one based on an old one I have on file. So why are you pissed?
Regarding the zapped exp, does that put the char in the hole relating to edges? Do I now have to get a thousand just to break even?

So yeah you have managed to force your decision on the player base.
The end result, some new descriptions that we have already established from both imm and mortal perspectives are close to meaningless. And in return you have managed to annoy a fair number of players.
Bravo that is really constructive we get bad but no good!

92% of the descriptions I read were original and between average to excellent. Go team majority!
Four descriptions were plagiarized.
Only one of these four was below rank 30. One of these four was a cabaled hero.
Three of you were very pleasant to deal with, apologized, and pounded out a description so they could get back to the game within minutes.
One of these characters was not pleasant to deal with. Instead, he argued instead of wrote a description, wrote "griefer" and un-formatted descriptions to waste my time, and tried to give unsolicited advice to others. The exception to this rule was not the under-30 character.
So...I think I pretty much just annoyed you. Given the situation, I'm ok with that.

Your above statement equated 4 people to 2% when in reality it was closer to 10%

2/100 = 4/X using cross multiplication we get 2X = 400 divide both sides by 2 we get X = 200
I supose the piece missing from the first post is that there was ~40 players online.
4/40 = 10%
10% != 2%
Yeah you denied me leaving the description room because my role was formatted like this.
############################### #################################### ########################################### #####
yeah that is such egrarious formating definentally desrves punishment.

From Cyradia:
>92% of the descriptions I read were original and between average to >excellent. Go team majority!
>Four descriptions were plagiarized.
Thus, 8% of the descriptions are plagiarized. There are four people with plagiarized descriptions.
That would suggest that there are 50 people online, 4 of them had plagiarized descriptions, totalling to 8% of the playerbase, and that 1 of the four (equating to 2%) was made really sad about it.

Her post (which was edited 13 minutes before your first response) stated that there were 8% of people not complying, not 2% as you seemed to have read.

Always happy to know douchebags are being dealt with. A plagiarized description AT HERO?!
The rest below was somewhat debateable on personal preference MAYBE. Sure, level 1-15 slap something generic copied with the hopes to change it later. But...but... a HERO with a copied description AND a foul attitude when asked to change it? Might as well just ban them. It's one thing to be a #### or troll on the boards, it's another to pollute our lovely game.
Notice how the folks that calmly obliged and changed their description right then and there? Nothing happened to them untoward did it? No, because they were reasonable people answering a resonable request. You're just being an idiot.

In response to Reply #0

Oh my god. I knew it was happening. I had no idea it was happening in these numbers. This thread, specifically that amount of people posting support for plagiarism, makes me want to give up.
After skimming for some trends in posts...let me throw out a few points.
1. This game has a core tenet in roleplay. The game starts at level 1. Unique descriptions are mandatory by level 10. If you can't spend five minutes and imagine what your character looks like and write 4-5 sentences (they don't have to be very long!) giving everybody else an idea who this new and individual character is...then you're playing the wrong game.
2. Plagiarism is plagiarism even when you don't receive reward. It's not a concept only important when you turn in your homework. Changing 5 words doesn't make it not plagiarism.
3. The mentality of "it doesn't directly give me rewards" makes me think we've broken something by handing out experience for roles and active roleplay. This makes me really sad.
4. You're overthinking the task if you think it's a big burden. I, also, tend to write sometime simple with a newbie and enhance it in the mid-ranks. The difference is that it's my unique and creative work. It's usually not beautiful and I can almost always do it in the time I'm sleeping outside an area waiting for a repop. It does, however, do what it's intended to do...make me think about the new character more and start to feel how I want to act.
5. My own opinion on these suggestions of 'make it so you echo you've read my desc' and 'give me an acknowledgement/edge love' makes me want to newspaper smack people on the nose. I don't think this is a problem that needs the carrot. I think it needs the stick. Skimming descriptions off of the battlefield is not a mistake a new player would make. So I feel completly justified in using a stick if I catch this.

The problem for some of us, is after a while it's really hard to imagine a unique "look" for a character.
How many characters have you had past lvl 10? I don't even play very much, but since my most recent comeback I've had about 4 or 5. All within the last 6 weeks or so. Imagine these guys who play hardcore. They might be playing hundreds of characters a year that need descriptions.
True, writing 4-5 sentences for a character isn't much. And I'm sure every person here is capable of writing one that's absolutely stellar. But when you need to do that for EVERY character past lvl 10, even if we don't know if we're going to stick with it? These aren't like roles where you can hang out with the character for 15 or 20 levels and decide whether or not you'll play it out.. you have to have a desc almost immediately.
And keep in mind, almost no one in the game actually reads descriptions. Honestly, the only time I ever notice them is when something is glaringly wrong, or I'm interviewing an app in a cabal (and actually have time to sit there and pay attention).
And as you guys have already mentioned, it isn't as if anyone gets props for a really GOOD description. There is literally no motivation for anyone to write anything decent. Do you think roles would be as high quality if there was no such thing as imm exp and role contests? And those are actually FUN to write.
Basically, what I'm getting at is it's easy to justify slacking off on something that (a) isn't fun, (b) takes a lot of time and (c) no one truly cares about. As long as a desc isn't outright bad and distracting from RP (or plagiarized.. which I never claimed to be acceptable), I don't see that there's anything wrong with it.

I don't really think we're arguing. I think we're on the same page.
I'm addressing plagiarized descriptions. If you have an original template of an elf on your harddrive that nobody else uses that you tweak every time you roll an elf because that's how you see an elf (but you still tweak it!), and it's never hit a PBF in the form you're using it...go for it.
Actually, it's funny you ask about my mortals...because while putting off my dissertation chapters, I've run a bajillion mortals the last 6 months trying to get my CF legs again. I've deleted a bunch of rank 20ish chars. Wasted false starts? Maybe...but a description is less investment than say, running the happy boot quest. Each one had a 4-5 sentence description I made-up while sleeping outside a newbie ranking area. It's just not much of a burden...I'm practicing what I'm preaching here.
I tend to see things with an economic lens on, and so what I'm hearing you say is "it doesn't take a lot of time" (although this is in conflict with your point b at the bottom of your post) and "there isn't much reward". That seems in balance to me. Here's how I think descriptions are/should be playing out....
1. They take 5 minute to write. Seriously...we're arguing about something that takes almost no time to get something non-generic down. I'm pretty sure I can write 4 sentences into Dio's wrap chop before someone can read and pick out a PBF to steal, anyway.
2. Let's say you're right, and few people read the description (ie, there's no reward)...here's when it does come into play:
-It's a foundation for bored groupmates to RP with in "dead" times.
-It's a foundation for mortal cabal leaders to see/remember/talk to your character in an interview
-It makes YOU know your character more. This last one is actually the benefit I get out of my quick 5 sentence activity. I remember I'm not a human in a felar suit bc I wanted more dex/con for this build, or whatever...the exercise gives me a little foundation in what/how this character is going to act/be/do that's a little unique.

Emphasis mine. You're writing a dissertation, and you have the CF Immortal skillset. It's not surprising you can write something respectable in 5 minutes. I really can't. If I take 5 minutes it's utter crap like the one I wrote in the other post. I'm not defending plagiarism, but I think you don't realize how hard it is for some people. And honestly, there's probably a lot of people who find it harder and more time consuming than I do.

I liked what you wrote in your other post just fine. It's about the exact same level is I'm cranking out on a newbie. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's better than my last one.
I'd prefer that infinitely more than plagiarizing a description.

But most people have the sensitivity to it that comes from copy encyclopedia articles for reports in grade school and high school, not the sensitivity of someone writing a dissertation. I'm not trying to say it is right, it isn't, but most people won't have your level of investment in any piece of writing, so they probably won't see it as as big a deal as you might.
Like a singer/songwriter might be more sensitive to copyright infringement/file sharing than someone who has never written a note of music would be.
As someone who was infrequently guilty of lifting PBF desc, regardless of carrot/stick I will not continue to do so.

Sure, and that took me 2-3 minutes or so, because I happen to be able to write boring stuff quickly. I don't think we disagree on the basic idea that churning out some pap is fairly quick and that plagiarizing old descs is pretty lame. My only points are one, some people probably can't come up with something even half-decent that quick, and two, that putting a lot of effort in is an unrewarding prospect because nobody seems to care.

I didn't say I plagiarize, and I never have. I used to put a lot of effort into making it very nice. Now I just mash out some uninspired blah blah in 5 minutes that, while unique, is pretty boring... here's an example let me pick a goodie half-elven shaman tribunal just to pick something off the top of my head:
Standing here is a tall human with eyes that shine with determined purpose. He has close-cropped brown hair impecably trimmed. Likewise, his clothing is all arranged very neatly, with hardly a sleeve out of place. His bright blue eyes scan the surrounding with alterness, and more than a little suspicion, but there is no malice in his expression. The slight point of his ears, and the subtly delicate set of his face reveal a mixed heritage that is echoed in the slightness of his build. He is wearing a simple wooden pendant around his neck that has the look of a holy symbol.
That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Technically acceptable, but also completely lame, poorly written and uninspiring. Now you complain about people (of which I am one) wanting some carrot. I don't want carrot for that tripe, but writing an actually good description that doesn't make me a little ashamed takes a lot of work for me, and I'm not good at it. That alone isn't why I want carrot. But I've never had the impression that people read them at all, so why should I spend several hours (because to make it what I'd call good takes that long for me) writing up a really nice description when nobody is going to read it? Do you really think it's petty to want some sign that your effort wasn't just completely wasted?
I understand your frustration at people feeling entitled, but I think you've misunderstood what I was saying.

That one looks just fine. It's descriptive and gives an idea of the character's disposition while not breaking any of the "you can't do that every time someone looks at you" rule. Or the "you don't know what the person looking at you 'feels"" rule.

A good description has a few qualities. It tells you what the person looks like, while communicating as much about them as you wish to, within the framework of an appearance (i.e. no "you sense he likes toads" kind of nonsense). A good description is also distinctive, it doesn't read like a formulaic, mad libs. Further, it is well-written enough that it moves from sentence to sentence coherently and without having the same structure for each sentence (e.g. he has light blue eyes. He has brown hair. He has a square face. ).
A great description is all of that, but better. It is actually well-written meaning it obeys as much of "show don't tell" as it can. E.g. instead of "This man is intimidating" you'd say "This man has an icy glare, and a sneer that could peel paint" except better, because I'm not a great writer. It also leaves you with a clear and memorable image. It should leave you with an impression of the character above and beyond the concrete details, e.g. a sniveling imperial described using wormlike metaphors. Finally, it would have a distinct voice and style to it.
I don't think I've ever written a great description. My writing doesn't rise to the level of great.
Here's an over-the-top minotaur description I wrote. It's too long and doesn't detail everything, but it does have some of the qualities I like.
The unmistakable form of a minotaur is before you. Enormous horns jut from either side of his broad head, fading from pale yellow to black at the blood-stained tips. They curve out and then forward in a wide arc to hang threateningly in the air above his head. A hand's breadth from the base of his horns, two huge, soulful eyes gaze with dim-witted malice. Reddish-brown hair surrounds them, growing lighter in color and courser in texture as it reaches the top of his muzzle. The pattern becomes smoother and the color a deeper russet as it goes back towards his ears, under his jaw, and down his neck, where it begins to thin before disappearing into his chestpiece. By contrast, the black skin of his soft nose and lips are bare and look somewhat inviting, maybe even cute in a bovine way.
The neck that supports this hefty skull is immense, with tendons that stretch to his shoulders like the moorings of a ship, and then dissapear beneath clavicles as thick as a man's wrist. The muscles that support all this weight are equally exagerated, and discernably unnatural, seeming to charicature both man and bull while complimenting neither. His thick torso tapers just slightly to meet the crude and bony hips that quickly give way to powerful legs. His hooves are wide, cloven and crowned with shaggy fetlocks of the same ruddy hue that color his face. The uncanny physical power of his body matches the malignant expression that never seems to fully fade from his face.
--- Here's one I've just now touched-up from a previous character. I would call it just a bit shy of good. (And the untouched version is pretty awful).
Her expression sags in the manner of one weary from a thousand mile journey without sleep. But her movements are steady and her eyes tell another story. The expression on her face is not fatigue, but a despair both deep and profound. Even when she smiles, her raised eyebrows and rosey cheeks can only present a mockery of joy, for the look in her eyes never matches the act. Yet she is fit, her arms and legs posessing the firm and sinewy tone of a mature adventurer. She is somewhat ugly, with oddly mannish features, but her complexion is smooth, and her eyes are lusterous. Her unkempt hair and rumpled, haphazard clothing do nothing to improve her looks. Her instruments are of varied quality, but they all have a rather unloved look to them.

I personally LOVE when I see more 'mundane' looks. Rags to riches kinda look.
I look like a normal dude, but fight like a beast, etc. Maybe I'm just yer standard grissly' ol vet. Etc.
But yeah, I would also prefer seeing original self-made descs than copied 'good' ones.

Here is a huge percentage of your playerbase saying they think this is a waste of time in an already time consuming game. I know most CF players run around in brief mode so I have descriptions for everything off already.
I think one of the big problems is as Dallevian? said you haven't fleshed your character out early on always. How much time do you want to spend on the character beyond doing newbie quests/descs/role/obs exp/explore xp and this is all just pre-pk. Sometimes you just want to get in the game and play. Descriptions are really only a big deal if someone's RP accentuates something description-based.

for your number 4, I'm glad that you can write something up decently in 5 minutes and avoid the desc room. My quick descriptions usually 1)take 5+ minutes and 2)still get me in the desc room away from ranking with my group.
So yes, for some characters I will gladly borrow a description and focus on the role/desc offline when I can.

Plagiarism is not borrowing.
Plagiarizing descriptions is not a practice that is up for debate.
I have updated the description helpfile to make it clear this is against the rules.
If I catch you with a previously published description (including one with 5 words changed), I will punish your character.

On the off-chance you get rewarded for ANYTHING - it becomes plagiarism. Because the desc is part of your whole product - the character.

I looked up plagiarism (on google, because only idiots spend money on dictionaries these days, even though #### you I actually do own one), and while where the line is drawn is slightly differently in the dictionary - Dallevian is still pretty wrong. So, y'know, be angry at me all you want. But maybe you should buy that ethics book yourself.
Edited to add: And to keep replying to your "read and comprehend" #### simple -
Look at the first two things in your list of reasons why glance bothers you. These things have nothing to do with the people doing the glancing, and everything to do with you. Are they bad feelings to have? Not particularly. But it's also not THEIR fault you feel that way.
The third thing is legitimate - being paranoid about being attacked - but it's also not a reason to hold glancing against anyone. It's just your reaction to a thing they did for whatever reason.
Point being - just because you're neurotic/paranoid doesn't mean someone is doing something wrong. And yet - you call them a ####, you describe feeling insulted, and describe feeling threatened. These are your neuroses.
"a mental and emotional disorder that affects only part of the personality, is accompanied by a less distorted perception of reality than in a psychosis, does not result in disturbance of the use of language, and is accompanied by various physical, physiological, and mental disturbances (such as visceral symptoms, anxieties, or phobias)"
I read and comprehend fine. And I'm pretty sure you have a long history of behavior that everyone agrees qualifies as neurotic.

You're taking this way, way too seriously.
It's a game. I don't care that it's roleplay required - that's got nothing to do with it. Writing a plagiarism rule for a game like it's a college course makes me want to vomit. Frown upon it all you want (I will join you in frowning upon plagiarism) but I don't really want to see the staff getting in the habit of being THAT anal-retentive. Seriously. Splntrd

Of course, sometimes it doesn't make much sense but still, I avoid the desc room and it takes me like 5 minutes while resting from mobs early!

1. The game may start at level one - but I can't tell you how many exceptions there are to that rule. Literally, I can't, because the mentality is sprinkled through nearly every post regarding the newbie levels in the last ten years. I remember posts like - "Is it okay if we use coins in the academy as an Outlander?"
Is it GOOD to know exactly what you're playing pre-10? Sure. Is it NECESSARY? Not really - nor do I think it should be. This whole business of immutable barriers is silly - we're all grown-ups here, and as someone who plays a lot of lowbies, pretty much everyone has their act together by level 15.
Furthermore, are you really encouraging people to slap together 5 minute descriptions ASAP pre-10? I'm horrified. I'd much rather people do what they do now - wait until they've completed a longer one that they like, and that is actually good. I don't know about you - but any 4-5 line description I pulled out in five minutes would be ####ty and I wouldn't be happy with it. I'll stick to inputting that description whenever it's done (level 1, level 5, level 14 maybe). I don't think anyone's missing anything because I waited a little longer to input. And people are gaining because what I inputted was better for waiting. And no one is losing.
2. I agree. I think you're under the impression that most people plagiarize or support it. I think it's an extreme minority - even though yeah, whatever, I guess it's visible in this thread. Relax?
3. I think you're taking that logic leap a little too far. While - you're right - there's no a literal incentive/disincentive scheme for descriptions and that means some people are going to care less about them - you're forgetting that it also means that I am free to put as much or as little effort into it as I like. If my only rewards are personal - feelin' good about my description - then I'm the only judgment that matters. Not to support plagiarism - but to give you an idea why -some- people put a little less weight on them when it's convenient for them to do so. And remember - we all play LOTS of characters. I know I certainly don't start every character the same way. I think we're entitled to wiggle room.
*as long as the desc isn't rulebreaking, roleplaybreaking, etc.
4. Ten pounds of Bull. Good descriptions take a decent chunk of time to write - they incorporate role elements and must draw the reader in. It's not a burden - but it's certainly not nothing. Quit acting like having bones over writing descriptions is retardtalk - it's not. It's legitimate - we play a LOT of characters and write a LOT of descriptions. There's nothing to be frowned upon in shortcuts and time-buying techniques, as long as they don't become permanent.
5. You're right - the system as is is fine, and I wouldn't mind seeing a liiiiiiittle bit of stick when it's really deserved. Pre-15/20 Joe Blow? Doesn't deserve it. Splntrd

I steal my own all the time, most aren't published PBF's but I reuse desc with almost all characters now. I do try to change them up a little but I have a hard time writing brand new desc for my 9,999,999th elf, or dwarf, or whatever.
Similar to other peoples posts, I just assume 99% of the time nobody even reads it. Not asking for Imm exp, I just know I personally don't often read a character's desc so I assume other people rarely read mine.

As long as it isn't a pbf, I don't care. Much like re-using a name before level 10 or whatever, no big as long as it isn't an established char.

I didn't even see that PBFs had descriptions for the first 5 years of my CF career, so I didn't have a chance to learn the plagiarizing. By the time I started looking at descriptions, it was already ingrained habit in me to build them from scratch.
Its still hard coming up with excellent, unique descriptions, though. I usually start looking for little traces of flavor to add to my desc once I've fleshed out my character's personality in the thirties or so.

And borrow a sentence from here and there and alter them to match your character. This way you don't borrow the whole concept from a single char.

You told me once that you can pick me out, any mortal, anything just by one look at the desc I write. When you look at it from that point of view, I think I'd be sort of annoyed if I saw a mino running around with Vandrylon's desc or a half-drow bard with Crysseara's or a crazy ass arial with Amaranda's. Also, you'd be vewy vewy confused.

There's really nothing quite like getting XP with Palmer and Vandrylon, and I'm all hyper-alert and paranoid for betrayal because Palmer tried to kill a dozen previous characters and Vandrylon is trying to hit on him.
Although it was Vandrylon collecting "treasures" for Qaledus that made me realize that neither I or even Twist roleplay the best sleazy male character I've ever seen.
Still one of my favorite characters ever. I wish I could make something that hilarious.

I generally don't even read the PBF descriptions. Descriptions are super easy. Make a really simple one, and then add to it as you go to make it more personal maybe.

I really like creating my own. Hell, I even loked up the anatomy of birds and their feathers so I could use the appropriate names for the colorations of certains parts of my arials.
That said, I do keep them all in a notepad document so I can sometimes grab a quick generic one for ranking past 10 but my 15 I have the proper one done. Only occasonally though do I do this.

Trust me.
I actually think every char I make generally pops a desc from the pbf, ranks to 15 or 20, and when I finally have an idea of a role I'll focus on the role, desc, and particular socials to use.

I think descriptions only add marginal value to the game and since my only goal is to avoid a trip to the description room I just copy and paste and get on with the actual important parts of my character.
From an imm stand point... why would you care that mortals do this?

Descriptions were for a long time my least favorite part about character creation. Roles are fun, playing is fun, and all that but I just never read descriptions.
Then I started reading them. I really like a lot of what I see and other times it's just down right funny to read what some people put in there.
I still don't really care for writing a throw away human ranger description for the 1000th time heh.

it is only wrong if one person is rewarded for another persons work.
Since desctipions are only rarely tied to directly to rewards the chance that one person benefits from the work of the other is almost non-existant.

It wasn't too long ago that I checked every description of everyone on the MUD at that time, and then rewarded them accordingly. I'd feel pretty damn stupid if I knew I just rewarded something someone stole from someone else. I do check people's descriptions. IF you are actually roleplaying with someone, it comes up. You might tell them their brown hair is pretty etc. I currently have a follower that has a flower behind their ear that I gave them. If another mortal would take notice of said flower, it could be a conversation point.

In response to Reply #25

what kind of rewards were you handing out? It generally seems that except in rare cases any kind of description reward would be bundled with role XP. In the PBF's there is rather scant documentation in imm comments of imm xp/edge/spec/long/stringed gear that read 'gave X Y for an awsome description'. So if a description award isn't given independatly of a role reward with any sort of frequency then it isn't really a factor in getting rewards. If anything its avoiding a penalty instead of getting a bonus.
And frankly I think you having to read descriptions if that is not fun for you is a waste of your time. But this is related to one of the fundamental systemic flaws of cf that really warrants its own thread (goals of task-oriented people vs relationship-oriented people)

#43674, "Custom Long?"
In response to Reply #26
|
The message I got from the player base was "More custom longs please!", and usually I will semi base these on desc unless I have a religious or whatever overtone to put in them. I did look at the desc of a char I wanted to make a custom long for recently and went "Meh what an awful desc." It made me not give that guy this reward. Later I noticed he did fix up his desc, and I was only too happy to string him a custom long.
Nelt is really good about giving out bits of xp.
In the future, if I want to string someone a custom long, I'm going to check if their desc is stolen. If it is, not only will I not give a reward, I'll probably take xp away. Or something not fun.

I pulled the example below from a pbf the day I checked everyones description that was playing at the time. I think I also followed it up with an echo for a lot of the people. I remember some orc being happy I noticed his/her hair.
Sun Apr 10 19:28:29 2011 by 'An Immortal' at level 51 (499 hrs): An Immortal added 50 exp for: Yay for having an acceptable description during a random check of the entire MUD.
I think it did it for almost 40 people that day. Not everyone got xp. Some people got a bad comment.
I spend a great deal of my immortal playing time watching people for RP. When I pick someone to watch I check their description, skim (assuming it has already been read) their role and then I watch them for at least 30 minutes. 90% of the time people do nothing noticeable. 9% of the time people get rewarded, 1% of the time people act like an idiot (roughly).
I think the day that I checked all the descriptions was prompted by me seeing a pretty bad one when I started watching a random person for RP. So I thought, hey why not check the entire MUD?
I have never thought it was a waste of time to check if people were roleplaying. I have never thought it was a waste of time to check to see if people are using tools given to them to facilitate roleplay (desc/role).

#43649, "My problem with descs..."
In response to Reply #25
|
Is that I can write a really good one and maybe (rarely) get some immexp (yay edge points) and have 1, maybe 2 conversations in the whole chracters life prompted by my desc...
Or I can write/steal (yes I am guilty of this and it is terrible) some piece of crap at level 10 and then never look at it again. Frankly, while I might read a desc every once in a while, on another character, most of the time I'm going to be moving too fast, looking to check out armor, fighting, etc. so much so that I don't have time to sit there and read their desc.
If I'm in the same room with another PC, I'm either fighting or on the move. Even if I throw a look, I probably only have time to pick out something like what weapons they are using before I need to be doing something else to not get killed or do some killing. If I played a herald, I might spend more time reading descs, but other than them, I can't imagine who has the time/ability to actually do it during gameplay.

"If I played a herald, I might spend more time reading descs, but other than them, I can't imagine who has the time/ability to actually do it during gameplay."
I'm a recovering serial Herald-player. I do play other things, and haven't played Herald in a couple years.
As a member of other cabals - my description reading happens during cabal interviews, and in the quiet moments that raiding/defending doesn't happen. The amount of time there is to do it goes down approaching hero - and I rarely have time to look closely at an enemy (although there's always ghosting for them and for me).
I understand what you're saying though. Effort vs. Reward. Maybe like I said below - I might be a rare case that gets enough reward out of them to put the effort in (to reading and writing). But I kinda doubt it? Splntrd

Then as I flesh out the role and personality, I might change it up or add a few things as he grows out.
I've never used a pbf for this, though, except maybe to draw ideas from.
I steal things from the -format- of pbf descriptions. Like, one pbf had an excellent line about fragrance that I occasionally add, and another described movement with a very nice metaphor that I occasionally rip off but don't outright plagiarize.

but more of I will rank a new character for as long as I can in a session. Usually that means past 10 so I will snag a desc to use in the interim to avoid the desc room. Then I focus on sphere/role/desc and tie it all in together. Sometimes that is level 8. Sometimes level 18.

Character appearance (theoretically) conveys ALOT of what the character is about, and I will pick interesting bits of your desc and use them as conversation pieces.
I also try to update a character's desc once they hit certain age/hour/progression marks.

I went through the trouble of making a description, don't be a #### and come glance at my gear then say, "Nice sword!"
1) It ignores what I am trying to convey with my desc.
2) I tend take that as an underhanded insult saying I had help getting it rather than earning it myself.
3) I also tend to think you're going to try to kill me and tak it/steal it.
Descriptions are important to me.

Glancing at me on our first encounter, is not going to sit well with me. Because I am paranoid, I leave immediatly.

Sounds like your own neurosis - which has nothing to do with the person glancing. Splntrd

I always write a desc at level 1 and update it over time if my character lasts long enough.
I never received any reward for it and only several times did something from my desc come up in conversation, but I enjoy the process and it's good enough if one person out of 1000 takes notice. And without it, the game would be even duller before hero.
Also, I totally HATE writing roles. Yes, I understand their purpose - just bad at making a concept from my head into a written role.

This is because the character is obscure and not well known to any of the current imms.

I don't think I even write very good descriptions, but mine are all custom so maybe that's enough.

I like to reference PBFs for ideas/structure/etc. Nothing wrong with referencing someone else's well-written and effective work. So some of my descs end up being an orginally written chimera of past characters, personalized to my role. I've never straight copy-pasta'd, though, and I include my own giant file of past descs in my research.
Frowned upon? Splntrd
