I had an interesting idea.
WE have the following command :
#me
#shout
#whisper
!name
!gm
......well, how about a #sing or !sing.......and pretty much it would add ....oh..lets say a little musical note in front of and behind what you type, so people actually know that you are singing. I think it would add a nice little spice to the RP.

With the command alone,

#me "text text text"

You can do this. Ask Val.

I always do #s -singing- "TEXTEXTEXT"
Because sometimes singing carries far

Oh, i once saw someone using "#me tries to sing something, but you cannot really recognize it..."

Indeed you can do a #me sings "La laaaaaa laaaa"
But I just thought it would be neat to throw in musical notes....and I figured it wouldn't be too hard to program in..or would it be?

Ark, Is this referred to me? Hahaha. I get this a lot.. hmm My reply is "Be quiet you witch! "

I think THIS could be impossible, because we have the commands:

#me
#s
#w
!name
!gm
!prefix
!suffix

Right? I recogniced it when I typed "#wispa TEXT" and it was successful...
So #sing would belong to #s, wich would be #shout...

I think you can do good RP with #me...

Musical notes have an ASCII value of 14 (dez)... Perhaps it it possible to implement it... I think of the "chr"-command... If you've luck, you get a musical note, if not, you get a command like a new line...

But this can only be implemented by the programmers... (I'll test it to do it in-game)

EDIT:
I tried it, it's not possible for us players...

Any gm wish to comment? And no Nilo..that wasn't meant for you...I was going more for the mob type theme....Perhaps it is sing like a canary? Sing like a weasle? I am usure how to say it.

When De'am sings ingame, it's always ballad-type things, so I always start verse text with something like " ~* " and end it with " *~ ", just to help clarify when the lines are done or whatnot. This is good point, though -- I've always thought about perhaps having some sort of music note symbol used for this kind of thing.......

Can't this musicalness be implemented simply by "#me sings: Lalala" ?

Just for the #me's:
Is it impossible to make the Server to recognize #Me as #me?
I sometimes capitalize the first letter by accident which causes the whole line to come as "Caranthir: #Me does this and that" which is rather annoying.

I think good RPlers will ignore it and see it as a simple #me...

Yes, most ignore it. It is annoying when you do it yourself though.

I also think this way.

I think having a "#me's" function would be usefull. To put an " 's " right after your name with no space. I often find myself just typing "#me 's text" it works but it comes out funny.

Very observant, Rackere.
