Greet and Dub

[Pascus]

Alright, I hope nobody gets mad but occasionally I do bring up the fact of my other mud I am apart of. And one Idea I think would be great for this mud is a greet as and dub command.

This command would work as follows....

A character can greet another character with their true name, or simply

greet <Lirith> as <name> then Lirith would see you as that name.

Or if Lirith hears someone call you by a name, she can type.

Dub <Character> as <name> and then Lirith would see you as that name.

That way if someone has a alias, then they will always be known as that alias or name.

This has been discussed in the past, even that specific command, "dub." I'm not sure if this is in the works or what, but I understand the previous Administration did not favor it.

Please check out the following threads for discussion regarding this:

These, as you can see, were found with searching the forums for the word "greet."

Now, personally, I would really be in favor of this option ("greetas" or "dub" command). I have a rogue who has only given his name to 7 characters, ever, who would not ever call him by that name. Unfortunately, due to how rare I play him, it is hard for other players to remember to call him "Fox."

I would really prefer a "moniker" command.. or "nickname" command.. Something of that nature.. That once you take on, anyone you greet will see that name. The problem is trying to store something like that on a pfile level - I don't know if the coders are willing to mess with things like that right now.

Just thought the info and suggestions might help.
