Title: Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude Post by Deval on 07/08/03 at 02:46:47 Ok, this has only briefly been thought out as I'm waist deep in work, but it occured to be, that Nightmist could do with a little bit of styled attitude, to keep things fresh. I'll give you an example of what I mean. 'You cannot go that way!' - That is very generic, and suffice to say, not all that interesting to look at, yet it is probably one of the most common phrases to cross your screen. So I suggest we make it a little snappier, add a little bit of humorous spice. -You can't go that way- 'A satisfying crunch brings to your attention that you, in fact, cannot walk through solid matter!' -You are hungry- 'A bowl shuddering rumble from your stomach brings to your attention how hungry you are'. -You are Thirsty- 'As you lick your lips, the feeling of sandpaper across your mouth reminds you how thirsty you are'. -Poisened- 'Another step, a little more sweat, another missing finger... Oh that's right, I'm poisened' -Poisened 2- 'Heaving the contents of your stomach into a nearby bush, you realise, that perhaps you might be poisened?' -Death- 'As you drop to your knees you suddenly realise, 'I should have had that neck gash checked...'.' -Death 2- 'Collapsing to the ground you think to yourself, 'Who needs a body anyway?' Now this kind of style could be added to almost every element of Nightmist, if I had time, I'd think up some more examples, I just think Nightmist could well do with that dash of 'attitude'. Crap, gotta go, 3 calls in queue. |

Title: Re: Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude Post by Deval on 07/08/03 at 04:15:07 My suggestion is not a modification to a current element, my suggestion more encompasses a theme. As for me not reading, you should have noticed this due to my other lines in there regarding poisons, hunger, and thirst. |

Title: Re: Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude Post by dognapot on 07/08/03 at 05:14:18 i was walking up to a river thingy north of dendeya and fell down... i was sort of miffed at the time because i lost quite a bit hp wandering where i shouldn't have been. i think it would have been a lot less aggravating or even had been pleasant if it said "You fall on some rocks, you clumsy schmuck!" or, "Way to go loser!" |

Title: Re: Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude Post by dognapot on 07/08/03 at 17:21:23 deval is using that medium to present a stylized attitude for nightmist in a subtle way. you just want to replace a generic messages with insignifigantly less generic messages. |

Title: Re: Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude Post by Harath on 07/08/03 at 17:22:42 Yes, and this idea is pointless. A few days after it would be added, it would become extremely boring. Nobody would find the jokes funny (weren't that funny anyway) so Issys way was much better. Edit: Typo |

Title: Re: Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude Post by Issy on 07/08/03 at 18:27:19 Stotic pointed out why it would not work, and it would be the same case with Deval. Deval is like my idea, just modified for "elements". |
