Describe the described

Postby Lunarius_Haberdash » Fri Mar 01, 2019 3:00 am

Unless there's some weird glitch I'm encountering, I don't appear to be able to describe someone to someone else, who was first described to me. Is this operating as intended? I would imagine that someones face would be able to be passed around.


If not, can a first-hand observer make a 'wanted poster' that will describe the person in question to whoever examines it?
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

I would love a wanted poster as a concept. Also the ability to make a buy offer for the skull of someone you have memorized.

Something similar to wanted poster already exists, doesn't it? A memo of someone who you have memorised on parchment.

Similar in function maybe, but I'd say it's more of an aesthetic thing.

It is working as intended. You've always needed to have seen someone's character personally in order to describe them to others, the idea being that second- or third-hand accounts aren't particularly useful.
