This actually came just in time for me, my character had brand new custom clothes made and was attacked and furthermore, had their clothes torn open so the wound could be tended. I like to put mend descriptions on my characters' clothes so I have more room in character description and don't have to use it to indicate damage to clothing. But I was sad because I just made these clothes and the descriptions were almost exactly 160 characters, so I would have had to alter my perfect descriptions to show the damage. But now, I can add the description of mended areas to the clothing without corrupting the original design, and not take up room in my character description for more important non-clothing details, because I tend to take up every character space when describing most characters and objects XD I do have a couple of characters who have short ones but I'm probably going to change them soon.

And that's another reason I wanted to have a longer description, I like describing the clothing in detail and also describing what the clothing has gone through. And lends more to the RP when someone asks how your shirt got torn, etc.

By this, you just mean that it's on the left side now right? Because I noticed that, but I thought my page was just being weird. Or did they actually move somewhere else? Because if so, I didn't see anything about that and I collect my turn reports religiously =P

Now to redescribe everything! (Could we change it now so it takes as long to redescribe something as it would to make it from scratch with a description? People would actually buy new stuff!)

Also, I'm not sure if I already mentioned this before, but, there's no way (that I can find) to describe an object or clothing that needs no tools to make, and that sucks.. What if I don't want a pink and red crown of roses? What if I want a red and orange crown of roses? But I can't have one because no tools are needed for a crown of roses, so if I click on the scissors button next to a knife or a needle, I can't select a flower crown. Are there going to be any changes maybe so that objects can be directly described if you have the tool needed, instead of needing to have the tool to start the description? So that we can describe things that never needed a tool without suddenly needing a tool, or having to make a whole new object to add a custom description, which might not be possible if say, there are no roses around.

Well I think that that's because such items can't really be *changed* persay. How would you recolor the flowers? Now, if they can't be modified when being made, that's messed up.

I think you should be able to re-describe flower crowns because you should be able to say that it turns dry after a while. People should refrain from changing the color more than once.

Yeah, but, what if I RPed the crown being made of orange and red flowers, and it's been that way in my description for years, and I just want the item to match and not be a lie? It's an OOC change to make an IC description of my character not look retarded... that shouldn't count as "recoloring" the flowers, and also like Seko said, flowers do change, they dry out, they fade, or get darker? And you CAN paint flowers, if you really wanted to, people paint pictures and stuff in Cantr, why can't they put their colored dye or paint on flowers too? and just RP it? But in my case, the flower crown has never been pink and red in my roleplay or description because I hate pink >=( I hate it. it's not fair that I have to have contradicting descriptions because flowers can't be recolored.. When the crown was made I put in my description "red and red-orange roses" but the flower crown will always say "red and pink" and it's the most annoying thing that descriptions are finally introduced and I still can't fix this because.. mechanics trump roleplay?

Right, one of my characters has a flower crown that is made entirely out of dark red roses and it's dried. He would never wear anything pink, it would hurt his manhood.

It's easy to check that they can be described in manufacturing phase.
They can be re-described too - most of them require a needle.

Ah, of course. That's great. I want to run a doll hospital. :)
