I've seen a good deal of people placing quotes in their warcries/mottos, and even more people complaining about it. So I propose that a third option be added for your little text message, as opposed to a motto or warcry, you could have a quote. It would be something like...

SET QUOTE

Set quote Guido The only good Serenwilder, is a well-done Serenwilder.

Disciple Guido Flagg, Priest of Glomdoring (Male Tae'dae).
He is 23 years old, having been born on the 18th of Avechary, 80 years after
the Coming of Estarra.
He is ranked 330th in Lusternia.
He is the 67th ranked combatant with a rating of 100.
He is an extremely credible character.
He is a Pedestrian in the Fellowship of Explorers
He is a member of the clan called 'The Disciples of Crow.'
His quote: "The only good Serenwilder, is a well-done Serenwilder" - Disciple Guido Flagg, Priest of Glomdoring.
He is considered to be approximately equal to your might.
He is not currently active in any family.
He has earned the title of Hero to the Finks.
He has earned the title of Savior to the Gnomes.

Although you would enter only the persons name, the game would supply the pretitle and title in.

Sounds reasonable enough, though it is a bit odd to go around saying 'hey hey wanna know my quote?'. Motto and warcry work, but having a quote might just be a bit tacky. I duno.

I'd rather not have a spammy title in my honours, but aside from that, not a bad idea.

His favorite quote: "D'oh!" - Homer Simpson

Yeah, SET QUOTE (person) (quote) would work. It wouldn't show the whole title of the person, but perhaps it could shpw last names, if someone has an 'official' last name and they choose to display it.

Good idea, and it probably wouldn't take much time to implement, if at all. However, it would also be among the lowest on the priority list - if it would be on at all - and would probably never be implemented.

The real fun would start when we began making fake quotes.

"Give me the damn peach, Guido! I need mah sugar!" - Visaeris Maeloch
"omg i m st00pid kill m3 plz" - Nikua Gladheon
"God, why dosen't Celest just shut up and die?" - Estarra the Eternal
"I hope no one notices that I just took a leak in the pool" - Rhysus

While I don't agree with the idea, manly beacuse it will end up with too many sexual ineudo's(ok so I can't spell, but you know what I mean). And we all know, my title is more then enough for the realms wink.gif

If there is any profession that has less to do with the English Language and its use than an English teacher, I'm yet to envision it. The world would be a better place without people being paid to "Analyze" obscure texts nobody cares about.

Consequently I don't like this idea, because as has already been mentioned, everyone will start using Fake quotes. And besides, most of the good quotes you want to use are too long anyhow, for example:

(Serenguard) Stagar says, "Okay, but I absoloutely refuse to do 3 people at once."

Too long wtf.gif

How can it be YOUR quote, if somebody else said it? That doesn't make sense, and it kinds of seems a little irrelevant to have on Honours. Maybe people who continue to quote people should just grow up. Or make use of the Funnies section here on the forums.

Soon, there'll be things like:

His favourite food is ice-cream and chips!
He enjoys long walks in the park!
His favourite game is I-Spy!
He had a slightly runny nose last Variach!
