#i lying

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:54 am

I don't know if this has been proposed or even possible, but it's just a quick brainstorm

to create a better "lying" system, what if you said something like #i Bob Hurly, you would appear as bob Hurly to the other player, and not !bob Hurly, the real Bob Hurly. and If You don't want to type your real name all the time, just do the normal #i and your real name appears on their screen.

Also, when you !name someone (now), is it possible to see their number without having to type it with the name? If not, can it be made that way?

I agree with the first idea it is excellent! So you get your fake name out so the other person does not have to remember that you have a fake name!

You are supppose to RP when given a fake name. Thats the point of the ! 234324 name command

you yourself may know its a fake name ,but your suppose to RP that the character doesnt.

I do not think a change in the system is necessary, or should even be botherd by the dev right as they have more important things to work on

*shrugs*

I'm not that much of a noob. I know about rp.

But I have been seeing it abused, and when people lie about their name, others seem to read them like a book. Not meant to be a complaint, just a suggestion.

eah maybe they will change it later, Didnt mean to sound so harsh in my last post.

I was just trying to say they have bigger things to do then this. I come up with a lot of stuff they could do, but I try to save most of it until the big stuff is done like all the magic and so on

not harsh at all, and I see your point.

Well, if there was a way to rename a !name'd name, other than the standard #i, I would say this idea is moot. Seeing as how that is not the case (and requires great effort to track down the numbers of those you !name), I support this idea.

And speaking of weird !names... I'm pretty sure I have SOMEone nicked as "! Royal Pincushion" or somesuch...

EDIT: Correction... !Lord Pin Cusion. >.> *coughDerekcough*

It's easy to change someone's !name.

Open your Illarion folder,
Open your char's folder,
There's a file called names.<whatever>
right-click > open with > notepad.

Ctrl + F, type in the ! name you gave it.
Change it manually.
Save.

Yes. I am curious, and explore every inch of every program I download =D

I am far too lazy to do that and I don't like the idea of having to go in manually and "fix" the problem. Should just be a feature. Well, not "should." It would just be nice.

J S · Post by **J S** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 6:25 am

No,
it SHOULD be a feature.

Stand up for your rights I tell ya!

Oh and I somehow noticed that Joshua, (PO Ku 'Agor) does: ! name 123456 Karl Salameh (123456)

So basicly, he !names it the Name and in parentheses, the number, in case he wants to name it again

Intelligent he is.
But heh. Not everyone is as bright as he is, so yeah, it should be a feature.

You can also type in the desired name, then right-click on the charcter and select name. Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

No he doesn't have that name though; he fake named that to you.

Current system is fine.

Please stop getting rid of retro old-school illa stuff it's fine.

If Illarion is fine as it is what's all this work I hear about?

and that's why I suggested that you should always be able to see their number somehow easily.

I said the current !name system is fine, not illarion.

Shut up.

Gildon · Post by **Gildon** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 10:03 am

Agreed JS, your posts are annoying Swish. Name faking should definately be implemented, no one would put a fake name as above if he were somewhat interested in Illarion.
