I'm speechless...

[Anebriated]

Alright, I was just getting back from a hunt and having a friend pick a couple boxes for me when i noticed this. It really bothers me that we can be scolded for going outside the lines and then they go and do things like this.




Speaking to Sozz, you ask, "Having a little trouble?"

You swap your thanot trunk from your left to your right hand.

You hear the faint thoughts of [OOC]-Jamus echo in your mind:
"Yeah.."
Sozz quietly says, "You always get the hard boxes."
>
Sozz deftly twirls a polished golden kelyn lockpick between two fingers.

Sozz settles into the difficult task of picking the lock on an engraved mithril coffer.
You hear a snap and then Sozz mumbles some unprintables.

I don't get it? :?:

But as you seem to be refering the the usage of the term "unprintables", it seems appropriate for a text-based medium.

Afterall, you are reading what's on the screen...

.

Besides, what's the big deal, with that word?

[TheEschaton]

And there IS a newspaper in town, it's not like they've no idea what to print means.

Maybe not printing presses, but the art of making prints is pretty old.

It would be one thing if only the person who does it sees it, but it doesnt seem right to me where in a game that we are supposed to be 'talking' instead of 'typing' and 'listening' instead of 'reading' that they would put unprintables, would it be that hard to change it to unmentionables? even something else, I dont care but if Simu is going to ask you to stick with one way of looking at the game then keep it that way. Don't code the damn game against what you are preaching.

You would rather see

"..... mumbles something better left unheard."

I agree with you on that but I can't say as I ever noticed it enough to bother me. Bug it and see what happens.

Perhaps "unmentionables", but people might take that the wrong way.

[CrystalTears]

Isn't this being a tad picky?

Wasn't there a picker who used to improvise being "mute" and would excercise actions like spelling words in the ground with a stick? What is he supposed to mutter?

[CrystalTears]

Mutes can mutter, it just won't be anything intelligible.

[Edaarin]

No, that was Nospeak who used to come to get boxes picked and drew in the dirt (EVEN THOUGH THERES NO DIRt IN THE TOWER).

It got on my fucking nerves.
