Would it be possible to allow says and emotes to bypass skill/spell lag?
That way we could sneak some RP in without affecting PK. You have two rounds while dirt kicking anyways, why not open up some of the RP tools during that?
Says/emotes and lag
I agree.
i third the motion
quadroagree
I wannit too!
I'm fine with it, as long as it does not allow the look command to sneak past lag. I realize your post only refers to says and emotes..
Tell would be nice too, especially with some "insanely" long lag-skills.
I disagree with this idea. The last thing I want is my victim talking smack while I'm bash-locking his face in, thanks.
(e-s-p)motes, to begin with, can be heavily abused.
To reject a good idea because there is a possibility someone might abuse it is not wise. We have immortals to deal with people like that.
I think this could open up some really cool combat, even more so in respects to the warmaster.
I remember a time on Skwizgarr when Sephoona used the spider thing drow have, though before he elaborated upon moving his hand over shadow or bone- something to that extent, and cast the spell- resulting in a nice collaboration between some mundane skills, and GENUIS RP.
/cosign (IN BLOOD) muhahah
Any fighter game there are times I LOVE to talk crap to the other person I'm fighting. When when I fight someone, and if I'm loosing (always in this case) I stay in character and I'll talk crap. If it's making you made, deal with it. I think the idea is splendid BECAUSE I can talk **** as I'm getting my arse handed too me. If I can't kill your character, I can ding up yer pride.
OOOHRAW!

not exactly why i believe this should come to pass, but- rather- again, in more friendly challenges, or sure, "rawr smacktalk" will at least give the PK logs a bit more substance
Well yeah, I don't actually mean to be a sour looser of course! It'd all be in-character but if I can suck at PK but throw in solid RP then it'd be amazing whether I lost or won cause I ran away like a chicken sht. LoL
Talking's overrated. When I'm killing you, don't look at me, don't talk to me...just keep your mouths shut. Whimper a little, sure, but just shut up and take it. We'll both keep our dignity that way. :eek:
I'd love to have talked ****y while eating 20-30 rounds of lag from Tassinvegeta and Mindflayers venom sack eating army.
Well then, don't be surprised when you come to back and your corpse is empty 
By the way, I believe the suggestion is to ignore lag from YOUR OWN skills. Not the lag of your enemy.
I typically expect to be full looted anyway, so nothing changes
BAH! Full looting is garbage. Trash talk is just talk.

Interesting. You're saying people should have a thick skin against one, but not the other. That one has more power than the other to discourage. Well, not saying, but it's suggested in the posed language.
Full looting is not garbage. It's a sensitive area, but it's not garbage. Items are limited. You dying does not mean you should get to keep all those limited items and not allow other people the chance to gain them.
Blindly full looting everyone you kill, every time? Garbage. Killing and full looting people you haven't even spoken to? Garbage. Full looting someone who doesn't even have rares? Kinda lame. Full looting someone who talks a lot of smack? All for it. (They may think they have "won" the mind game with their trash talking and trying to get under your skin...but now it is them all pissed off wanting to quit the game. So...YOU win.) Full looting a cabal enemy who poses a threat to you or allies? Personal choice, but nothing against it. Full looting someone for no reason at all as long as you had a fair reason to kill them in the first place? Personal choice, I'm for it in most cases.
Full looting itself innately being garbage? Not so much.
