Re: Determining the Origin and Meaning of RPI
I'll just quibble with this detail, and maybe someone can educate me as to how other muds get around this problem. Most RPIs (and muds for that matter) have various languages. One of the powerful aspects of the ability to emote within says is that it takes language code into account.
Sorry to nitpick, but this stood out because, on Armageddon, newbies sometimes use emotes like the above example as a means of conveying speech. Unfortunately, they don't realize that in doing so, they're circumventing the language code. As such, it's considered a "twinky" (probably not a good word, as they aren't doing it on purpose) action. Are there muds that look for the "say" and maybe other signs of speech such as quotations and commas in an emote and run it through a language scrambler in order to get around this problem?
