Shattered Kingdoms

Triggers are perfectly legal aslong as you don't get caught.

The people more versed with scripts and programming know exactly how to get their triggers to function without anyone being the wiser. Just need more defined parameters with activation and kill switches.

Sending out level curses or whatever for harmless triggers such as skin and butcher is asinine. I'd do this for things such as eating and drinking too, once the message is caught that I am thirsty or hungry I'd pull something out of my bag and use it to shut those annoying messages up and regain my regen, without the need for a lot of repetitive typing.

Typing out things like drink waterskin, or eat steak bistro, skin corpse don't make players any better at the game.

The only thing that Syn has done wrong is get in the imm's face which has made her a target. Let's get practical and reasonable though. Syn does not have the skill or expertise that certain players of the playerbase do with computers and programming to fully automate a character like Ruud or Sithara have. Even then, computers are incapable of thinking for themselves and can be easily overcome. In fact, I can't even think of a single way that a computer controlled character is superior to a human controlled character.

It just seems at the end of this as I think it just puts the immstaff in the unenviable position of explaining why it's necessary for the players to type out every nitpicky little thing.

Also, be advised that I am hopelessly awesome.

Awesomely hopeless, maybe.

Jealousy rears its head.

I agree that this punishment for Syn was not needed, unless her triggers kept her from voiding out. Hence why I think a generic trigger help file should exist making them all illegal and reducing the need of interpreting their punishment. Then there is every justification of punishing a player. As far as I can see it now, there is no official news post or helpfile making them illegal.

Tragonis is right. If this was a way to avoid voiding out then she has done wrong, but I have to confess that I don't think I've ever, I mean ever had a scout that didn't bot butcher or skin until it mastered. I had no idea it was even wrong.

I was atk I was playing and I just let the trigger do the work. I actually would really like to know what syn did exactly because I can't see any reason why I wouldn't do the very same again. I've never not triggered butcher and skin on scouts.

I'm concerned because If I make another scout a few months from now and I forget this happened I might get cursed for doing it.

I still want a trigger to highlight bashes/trips/etc.

Obviously this punishment highlights, among other potential things, a clear zero tolerance policy.

Feldon over there is right; black magic is taboo only if you're caught. There are sneaky ways to disguise your black magic, but I'm not going to give anyone any tips. He already has done more than I consider wholesome by hinting at a few.

Ardith is right, the zero tolerance policy brings up an annoying fact and a weird situation.

Your character's actions need to be prompted by at least one keystroke. That is the rule.

I'll just paste a couple lines of my logs so that you can understand how to live with this policy without having to whine like a baby:








tl;dr: use gray magic

PS: Syn, that is sometimes handled with things called substitutions, but you can do that with a trigger by telling your client to echo something when the mud tells it something.

Oh god, sorry, but those "Press F9 to fix this" lines made me laugh.

Good one grep.

Grep's are certainly better than mine.



I'm terrible at PK!
