We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain

  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Remove quotation marks from disguised PC names

Post by Agog_fr »

Hello.

I don't understand the purpose of the quotation marks. They are non-roleplay information, which influences RP behavior.

It seems better to me to simply make it so that to detect a disguised PC, you have to examine it and let Arelith's disguise mechanics play out.

On Discord, some people have made some useful criticisms. They said it would be necessary to make it impossible to disguise using the exact name of an existing PC. Otherwise it would create database problems. Well, it doesn't seem technically impossible.

Hello this is a duplicate of this suggestion
viewtopic.php?f=92&t=46314
So I'm moving this to denied. Please check to see if your suggestions have already been given.

(Please note that this does not mean this specific suggestion will be approved/denied/implemented whatever- just that we don't want duplictes clogging up the forums)

This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
