You either love 'em or hate 'em.

Personally, I dislike most Honors Lines. I hail from the Imperian way of thinking: The less you have on your honors line, the more mysterious you are!

I don't like honours lines, but only 'cause I don't have them so they make me feel even more inadequate

I agree with Shiri on that one.

This is my 100th post. Yay!

Personally, I think that only personal information and world-wide information should be included. Basically, I mean whatever stats currently show up on your character's honors/score, and only very important quests and events should show.

Meh, not that big a deal. Though it is a bit annoying when you 'honors' someone and they fill the screen..

I always hated when people did honours quests that go against each other.

For instance helping the both finks and the gnomes, or in Achaea killing Maim and helping her do the experiment.

I don't like honours lines from quests. I like em from winning contest or doing something that will land you on noteables.

I chose hate, but really it's just that I'm not a big fan of honours quests. Have there be a QUESTHONOURS command for all that. I could care less how much the finks and gnomes appreciate your help.

I think honours lines for Really big cool quests is good. But I think the honour line should only go to the person who did it first.

Honours lines in Achaea just look stupid to me, and I agree, the less lines you have as a normal player the better, but if your one of those players that has figurued out everything and tend to be the first person do to it, you deserve from public recognition via honours lines for it.

And your reputation as a player will weighed more heavily for it. I.e if your liked you will be more liked but if you have been hated, you'll be more hated, thus adding a nice culture and history to the game I think

See, I think there should be more Honours lines from events rather than quests that stay here. It's be more original and give people an insight into the player-history of the game.

For instance:
(Visaeris)
He was the founder of the Disciples of Crow in the modern age.

Uh, don't have many examples from Lusternia. Let's go to Aetolia. Aetolians will get what I mean.

(Van)
He summoned the terrible Abbadon to attack Enorian.
(Caboose)
He organized the corruption of the Tree of Life.
(Zephy)
She aided the Lich Amairgen in killing Merentesh.
(Sahmie)
She dissolved the Priests and founded the Luminaries.

Most of that stuff should go in the Notables file, I think. And in events posts, and what have you. I like to think of the Events posts as a history book, and the Notables as "History for Dummies". No real need to have it attached to your honors, though.

Makes more sense than really easy quests going on your honours. Makes it much more original too. Plus, it would probably encourage people to roleplay. Only good roleplayers during these events would be able to take the lines.

I make mine as large as possible, as soon as possible: I think it gives you a little more respect and credibility. But, please take out the quest lines, it does nothing for us.

I like when everyone can see that I own a clan, am (or will be) a mentor, startd afamily, etc. I even like honoring myself, like looking in a mirror and seeing how cool I am.

Honors Brona, and it looks cool, but would look better if there were no quest lines on it.

There's the clincher, Iggy - good roleplayers IN THAT EVENT. It annoyed me no end when transcendant-everythings just did whatever and bashed and nothing else for like 20 years, then suddenly came out of their holes and jumped for the honours lines when the latest event came along, and everyone tried to grab everyone else's attention, and blah. It doesn't represent roleplaying as a whole well enough, so you shouldn't really say that's what it's about.

And I like Iggy's idea.

*posted in the double cause Im speshul* -laugh-

I voted 'Meh.' I like doing honors quests. I wish I could turn off having them in there when you honors me. How would you know what I've done?

And rabidcow, there are those who don't care about conflicting quests. If they both pass the coin, Rexali can't give one lick for the gnomes or finks.

So I didn't see this was posted twice... Here's what I said in the other thread.

On one hand, everyone knows how smart you are. On the other hand, it ceases to be a representation of your (evil/good/forestal/sneaky/barbaric/enterprising) character when instead of having lines from one or two appropriate quests, you have 14, including both raising AND sinking the Ship of the Dead.

Back in Achaea, supposedly Sarapis got snippy with someone in the Elders clan for raising both Sh'Fah and Taug - said it was bad RP. For the uneducated, Sh'Fah was a crystalline kx'krah (think lucidian) warrior from a plane of order, that the Divine Patron of the Church inhabited for many years, and Taug was a former Demon Prince of the Inferno, who helped Entropy and Discord try to basically kill all the Elder Gods, was banished to the Chaos Realm, stripped of all his powers and - yadda yadda yadda - came to be imprisoned in a sunken troll city. One's order, one's Chaos. But the thing is, Sh'Fah (order) didn't really LIKE being summoned, so the Church (also order) basically disallowed their members from summoning him. The only characters who could really reliably summon them IC were basically the standard adventurer types, or scholarly types, or just the ones who cared nothing for the outcome and wanted to use Taug/Sh'Fah to run rampant killing people. Supposedly it represented an RP aspect of your character, but in actuality it was... just something to do for exp.

I'm all for honours lines, considering how wonderful all the quests are here, not to mention complicated - something to show that you managed to figure 'em out is like a medal. But when things get to the point where people are just going to have as many as possible, or learn the quests from a website (which isn't happening here yet, but happened to a ridiculous extent on Achaea) or when people start to just do the quests for experience and gold, not for any IC reason... it's getting a bit much.

Perhaps there could be an option to have the honour officially recognised or not? 'You have been awarded a new honour! Do you wish to be officially recognised? If yes, AGREE.' - agreeing would have it listed in your honours. Perhaps it could also be written down somewhere too, like... all the names of Honorary Shepherds of the Rocks could be carved in a stone slab in Dairuchi, whether or not people have it listed in their honours.

What is this 'notables' thing? A command from the other IRE games?

I agree with that, actually. If you could greet the matchmaker gal in Delport, and have her rattle off a list of the successful matchmakers, that makes a lot more sense than knowing from some incorporeal extra-sensory sheet of a person's details what they've done. Not to mention how on earth you could possibly know someone's name just by passing them on the highway, and being able to check their honours from that...



Better not get into that, it won't end well.
