"The body of"

[Lumi]

Just curious...am I the only one who highlights this string? It kinda boggled my mind tonight when I died to some bandits (FUCKING RT STACKING) on the trail between WL and Sol, and no less than six people ran by my body. Now I script between towns, too, but I can always tell when I'm walking by a body (assuming it isn't hidden).

I fired off an obscured symbol of Need, and then heard people trying to figure out where I was, all completely befuddled...including people who walked by me!

I'm not blowing a gasket or anything, I'm just genuinely curious...how do people not notice corpses when they walk right by them?

[Monsoon]

I do.

[ZeP]

Likely people scripting between the towns who don't know where they are going if they stop their script.. Although Landing and Sol are pretty much straight shots should be pretty easy to backtrack??

[Morph]

yeah I highlight it also

[Sam]

i highlight it too, so i don't accidentally walk past corpses and become considered an asshole.

[Gelston]

I don't highlight it. I use goto on psinet aswell, and it moves so fast I will not see a corpse laying on the way there.

The scripts sometimes move too fast for you to notice anything, highlights or no.

[CrystalTears]

I ran scripts all the time too, however I also had it highlighted as well. I'd stop my script, scroll back and then send a tell stating that someone was dead and in what area.

No matter how fast my script went, I always noticed highlights and could scroll back to see where they were, dead or not.

You obviously didnt use go2 or psinets goto. They will use typeahead lines if they can and absolutely fucking fly. Its not like a wizard or stormfront script.

[Loyrl]

I do, its Red. I use the Goto but I still see corpses.

I think it's safe to say that AN OVERWHELMING PORTION of people go afk or tab over to something else while a travel script is running. Or at the very least aren't paying attention to their room window just in case they walk past a corpse.

Hell half the time I run my script to Temple Nelemar, I tab over to another window, then I forget I was playing GS and come back stunned/dead/disarmed/etc.

And/or by the time I realize I was playing GS and tab back over, I don't feel like playing anymore and log out.

[Allereli]

I used to

I do use PSInet goto, and it does "fucking fly", for sure. But if you have the string highlighted, I see absolutely no way someone could not notice it unless he's not watching the window (which is a separate issue).

Memorable enough for you to keep following me around the forums and neg repping me, cum guzzler.

[pabstblueribbon]

I was responding to CT Lumni.

I doubt I'd see it the highlight string. I doubt even more that I would care to stop and help if I did.

Why is it that people always assume that your character should stop and drag a body back to town if it sees one? And then get butthurt and assume you're afk scripting when you don't?

Oh. Yeah probably cause I was afk scripting. Muhah.

Set Death Off.

This.

Thats great if you do, but I don't. Highlighted or not, I'm not going to catch a corpse. And as Methais said, I'm usually not paying attention to, or only halfway paying attention to GS when traveling.

[arlia]

I highlight "the body of" as well.

[Asha]

I've left it highlighted light blue in my settings from way back when I cared when someone was dead. Now I just walk by them anyway as it's a game about levelling and experience, nothing at all about RP or whatever else :)

[Divinity]

I have it highlighted light blue as well. Depending on who I'm playing, I might care to stop... maybe.
