Fix Character Description Page

[Armulus Satchula]

I was going to start to use the character notes section of my own player details page to hold details that i think are important to remember about my own character. I though that both the Name change and the Description box populate as blank.

It'd be nice if those either weren't shown or they actually populated with data you type in there. Populated would be better, instead of keeping a note on me that is really out of character information that would be silly to drop if i died.

I started using .txts since I noticed it didn't work. Would be nice to have it fixed.

Yea, .txt works if you don't play cantr from like 3 different computers.

I make minor notes in the character name field. That makes things a "little crowded" on the character select page or player page but it works better then having fields go blank.

Trouble is you need to remember/copy what you had as a character name before hand.

Easy example I have is putting the characters rank and possible some loved ones in the name.

Guard Bob, loves Jill. (That's the character name if I REALLY need to remember such things)

As a temporary solution, perhaps, how about http://notepub.com?

[Doug R.]

Agreed. This has irritated me for some time.

Is it the "Personal description of the character" for your own characters you are talking about, it works now, right?

[Doug R.]

Yes.

[SekoETC]

Oh, yeah, I fixed that back when I was working on the custom descriptions. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it somewhere...

[curious]

Bump..!
I am noticing many many chars these days with no use of the description box at all.
Perhaps we should try and fix this, as many of these also don't seem to care, missing in-game hints etc. This, for me, is as much a role play thing as 'talking' and 'emotng'

What are you talking about now? The description boxes work as intended, yes?

What are you talking about now? The description boxes work as intended, yes?

I'm talking about people not filling the damned things in:

S/He is in her/his twenties.
S/He wears nothing worth mentioning.

Yyyy... is it related to the suggestion?

[psychowico]

So? You want force people to fill it?

[curious]

You know what... forget it.
You can't win in this place... if you make a suggestion and it has been even remotely mentioned somewhere else... you get nailed for it... if you bump one... you get nailed for it.

As far as I was ever concerned... this game was a rp one.. No?
Funny that I seem to be the only one then, in the last posts that thinks that having some form of 'appearance' would be useful here, and it 'does' cause probl;ems with playing some chars.

No... don't be obtuse... You can't force people to fill them in, but you could encourage them, or hey... why not bother at all?
No... it's not directly related to the suggestion... but it was nonetheless a pertinent (if acidic) additional critique.

Is it any wonder that the 'thinking of quitting' thread maintains 'height' in it's forum?
