A: Druids don't have scry
B: I don't shower, so it was probably somebody else you scried.

I have scry on my wand.. which is kind of ironic.

This opens a whole new range of possibilities. We could add a new line on status called, which could read something like this: "Your bowels are empty, and your bladder is slightly full." If you don't RELIEVE SELF, there's a chance of getting having an accident, ruining whatever clothes or armor that's being worn. Plus we can have new afflictions, like constipation and urinary tract infection!

Then again, some things are better left out... sick.gif

Now we know why Roark doesn't wear anything...
Soll2005-08-01 23:31:45
Because He has to relieve Himself so often He that He spends over 50% of His time relieving Himself, so He believes it's dumb to fiddle with clothes that He wears for less than half of His life?

Roark's naked avatar disturbs me
Soll2005-08-01 23:33:29
I liked the old avatar more. sad.gif
Stangmar2005-08-01 23:36:33
Heh, if Roark pops into the room i'm in in game, and He's naked, i'll issue Him for harrassment. evil.gif
Soll2005-08-01 23:41:16
He can pop into my room any day? superninja.gif wink.gif

doesn't Faethorn have some bath area to the west? Or I could be thinking of just a puddle.
Unknown2005-08-02 00:05:09
I think the reason we don't have bathrooms and stuff is because there are to many imature people that would go around shouting i have to potty and crap like that but the lovely emote thingy lets you potty if you so desire so use that and don't bother with making it a function i want my skills and areas before i have to stop and take time on the throne!!!

I wasn't suggesting a system for bodilly functions, I was asking about why there are no rooms. tongue.gif

Like the playwright says: don't bring a gun on stage if you don't intend to use it.

Including lingerie in-game sends the message that IRE expects and condones a certain amount of sexual role-play.

Including bathrooms and their kin would send the message that IRE expects and condones a certain amount of scatological role-play.

If they don't expect and condone that, including the fixtures would send the wrong signal. If they do expect and condone it... well, I have seen MUDs that did, and there's a reason I'm here, not there.

Diamante and Triden entered and emoted urinating all over Ichiro's manse. While icly I chastised them for it, oocly I think it's hilarious.

But er, no. No bodily functions in game.

Why -don't- we have bathrooms? I mean, aside from not wanting to have fart jokes, or wanting to RP people using a toilet, what gives?

We all know Serenwilders use leaves and such, but what about the cities at least?


That isn't exactly true. Log on Achaea for a second Richter, there is a certain cord I wan't you to pull... wub.gif

If your armour is ruined, would it hopefully let your cursed armour get removed? If so, I am so all for this option. ninja.gif

Someone submit this as an Artisan throne design, that'd be hilarious.

As long as we all get to continue threatening to 'piss in the Pool of Stars', I'll be happy.

With the new skill set of artisan, it may be possible to put a sketch up in public for toliets in cities... Communes, go and dig... helps the forest perhaps.. make it part of the nut for trees', you must fertilize the ground before you set anything.... *shrug*

Exarius. Lingerie IG is there so mages don't go around with the greatrobes and nothing under them... would be very uncomfortable smile.gif
