Quote:
A black-haired half-elf stands before you.
He has deep black eyes with pale skin.
That is all you really see, really.
Overall, a black-haired male half-elf is in excellent condition.



This is weak people, especially if you have managed to get over mentor.

I've been seeing a few of those of late as well.
I'm not that great a desc writer myself.. not at all actually. But there should be a limit to the lows :)

There is it has to be at least three lines, three FULL lines.

No, that's just a lame attempt at three lines. It's not that hard, even for characters you don't intend on playing long. A brief description of eyes, hair, skin color, and body type generally give a nice three liner.

Why do you want it to be a full story in a character's description? I wanted my description to have as little as detail, I don't want everyone knowing at first glance how my character is. That's not rp, having a conversation ic however, is.

And if you think I'm just being lame, I've had about 8 gms over my course of playing sk, all with along descriptions. Now I want to change the course over which this character goes.

People memorize the colors and key lengths. By having a shor description you make it easier on them.

Besides it's a rule to have at least three lines by level 6.

Make it easier on them to do what? I'm confused on what you're trying to prove.

And that is three lines, nowhere in the helpfile says it has to be three full lines.

Ok idiots like you are what force the imms to hardcode [REDACTED].

Three itty bitty lines are going to be really easy to recognize at a glance, so your excuse so people don't recognize you is crap.

You come on to these forums to make a post to flame someone you saw in the game? You judge me on the basis of my description? Im pretty sure I know how to play this game, I've had enough characters and been in plenty of cabals/tribunals. Now, I suggest you to stop your bitching and whining in a gameplay forum and play the [REDACTED] game.
