introduction command

pharse · Post by **pharse** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:41 am

is there a way to introduce with a wrong name? I mean without OOC, because this is what happens usually:

1: My name is [wrong name]
2: Nice to meet you. I am Blablub.
Person 2 types: #i, person 1 doesn´t, so:
2: ((pls #i))

Now I have to explain OOC that this is a wrong name and person 2 has to !name.

I thought of a command like:
#i !wrong_name

No. You can tell him a wrong name but with #i he will always see your 'real' name.

I beleive there was a thread about this matter..
#i ing a wrong name..

But ontopic, you can give anyoen a wrong name, and not #i. Ignore their requests to #i, and they'll get bored asking and simply !name you.
That's what thiefs, bandits, and people who don't wanna give their real name do

I think the #i command should be completely taken away.
Seriously.

Only leave the !name command, but when someone !name s someone else, the number remains with the name added.
e.g:

(Someone 1234567890) says: My name's Dipplebum.
!name 1234567890 Dipplebum
Karl says: A pleasure
(1234567890 - Dipplebum) smiles.

It won't.

Why not? That's a serious suggestion.
As long as the char's number remains after you !name him, you can still re-!name him whenever you want.
Which is the sole problem of the !name command. You need to go in the names file in the illarion folder to rename someone..

Seriously. Why the #i?!

As long as you can !name as much as you can.. it's better that way.
Helps fake naming. And has no inconvenient!

You may fake names as much as you want to.
But it won't be changed for the few who like to say a wrong name. You can rp that.
Most players like the #i.

I don´t think the #i command should be abolished. It is very useful and comfortable.

But another command for fake-names would be really great. Although OOC information shouldn´t be used IG, it is a big difference if the PO knows that I didn´t tell him my real name. He will be suspicious of my char anyway. There are not many players who really discriminate OOC and IG information. Unfortunately....

#i will stay, because !name <number> <name> is really unhandy.

I would be fine with something like

#i <fake name>

But wiping out #i? no way.

Nitters, could we instead have a

"RIGHT CLICK ON PERSON" Name as....

Command? to make it faster?

you type the name you want to name someone in the chatbox
click on the person you want to name
and click 'name as' (in german it's 'benennen')

That command is already there.
Type Smelly Man and right click and click give name then he'll be 'Smelly Man'.

That would do. It would solve the problem I described. Would be awesome if it was implemented!

One problem:

#i l33t0m4n

Need I say any more?

Yes but currently (well apart from the jacked name applications -.-) you can't meet someone called l33t0m4n... which is good.

Arien Edhel · Post by **Arien Edhel** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 7:07 pm

#i l33t0m4n won't be allowed.

I know, but how would you find out? Or stop people? You can't exactly put a list of unavailable names; there're billions.

Arien Edhel · Post by **Arien Edhel** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 7:10 pm

I can find whoever I want to.

Wait, it'd be possible to track #i [name here]'s?

Yes, as Markous demonstrates with rp sex.

#i <fake name> would be fawken awzm.
As long as you can #i your real name if you ever want to.

Lrmy · Post by **Lrmy** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 12:22 am

I also like that idea. When I had a character that woulden't #i to people they would be suspicious of him with no real RP reason. I think a #fake name thing would ...(leet?)...own
