Titles

Post by Mele » Thu Feb 09, 2012 6:37 pm

Lately we're seeing a lot of titles that do not comply with 'help title' take another look at this file, and be warned: rather than being strict or harsh, we will take the liberty to mset you title into something embarassing, and we do have the power to make you unable to fix it. ;)
Title
=====
Syntax: title <string>

This command allows you to set your title to the text of your choice. The
game supplies a title when your character is created. Your title should
state your name and your profession/occupation. It should not be a statement
of what you are currently doing. It should not sound like a want add.

For instance:

Elminster the Archmage of Shadowdale
Elminster of Mystra

would be acceptable

Elminster is seeking Storm cos he lost her.
Elminster seeker of Magic

is NOT.

Additionally your title should be an understandable sentence so that if a
mobile says it or yells it, as they sometimes tend to do, it will make sense.
Your title should be in character, and while the information can be used
IC, you need to determine if your character would know such a thing about
the character in question. The title is information that could be gained
by heresay for instance.

** Titles are subject to the same guidelines for use of language as channels
** If an immortal asks you to change it do so immediately.

The title default system is being removed from the game. If you elect to
use it then you should still make sure that the title is appropriate for
your character.

Special: If you are holding a note in your hand, TITLE will title the note,
rather than change your character title.

Please note, titles should NOT be in any language but ENGLISH. This means latin,
spanish, italian or any other thing you may use is not appropriate for your title.

Can I make a suggestion that in the case of whitetitles it make the whole row White and the title itself be be represented where the title is currently thus freeing up the left column to display race as normal?

Just finger someone with a white title to see their race. It only works if you're greeted, otherwise you wouldn't know their race.
