Seconded. The only problem I could see with that is that  a person might have some epically bad luck leading to hours uponof hours of real-time wandering without realy advacing much. Add a cut-off limit of passages after which the game starts to subtly steer you in the right direction and I'm good with that. In keeping with the DR theme of being lost that upper limit should be up high well enough that it doesn't become a strategy to walk through doors until the game lets you out.

By the way. Is my browser going crazy or is this thread in the storywriting forum ? Seems like a wishlist kind of thread.

I would have to agree with Nivm on this.

Morphing and illusions have both different purposes and side effects.

Morphing in to clacker (unless its that complicated kind of morph) would generally mean that you have to become a clacker and knowing that bugs don't have enough brain cavity to support your intelect that would have to be forgone in the process making a powerfull mage into an onrdinary clacker. For these kinds of situations illusions would be used, as Nivm said, at the expence of constant concentration and drain.
And the restraint for not having many polymorphed wizards or illusions running around would be that since you cannot distinguish it from a monster, feel free to treat it like a monster. So essentially a stab happy person would very quickly find that his wonderfull kill has very strange loot for a rat. Wizardish loot.

Would be nice to see it implemented, very nice. So nice that I already found my PS notebook and joted some RP ideas down if this ever becomes an option. However, I am not holding my breath out for this one.

Err... isn't that the same as petitioning or contacting the correct GM on IRC and getting it done?

Essentially yes. But it saves the GM the trouble of getting the poster. They just open up the books give a quick read and either they OK it or they toss it in the garbage with a warning to not waste their time to the sender. Saves a little time. Though now that I think about it it doesn't save enough time for the coder to make it worth the while.
Power to the petitions !

You know, this might seem like a small thing but it really adds to the atmosphere and really helps my laziness to not have to check the forums to know whats going down in the near while. In any case i would suggest that one go for the NPC takes books and keeps em for GM's. I think it would be feasible to put them somewhere in a chest where only GM's can get them out of.

In any case. It would be hilarious to see "Your mom" posters appear every while or so. Even if a little disruptive to RP.

Actually. I think its very simple to make this work with the name-tags and give a thief a shot of anonymity without being plainly obvious to the intended victim. Just make a disguise item that will allow a player to change his name for a while (20 minutes maybe).

I can already hear a few complaints about this but remember that the other options are having you known as a thief to all immediately as someone posts a forum message about it or having everyone anonymous (appealing one but I just can't see it working). Any abuse of it is eventual and more often then not will have to be treated with good RP.

Except on the non-RP server. There people can go as wild as they want.

I would propose a few ideas on how to make this more feasible (since its a little problematic as I see it) and fun for all.

First off, because everyone is already agreed to the same terms they may as well as go out there and challenge each other minutes prior to the start of the battle. An obvious explanation RPwise for this would be a show of respect to your opponent if you take the military maneuver angle. And if not then I think it would call for a bit of function over fashion thinking.
Another great thing would be if you could just call a full on party duel (I've been away for a bit so sorry if this is implemented).

Then, on the function of the battle. I think that having a capture and hold certain points scenario would be more interesting (and it would allow for an additional rule). For the sake of clarity I will elaborate. Instead of having the eagle head marked as a flag point wouldn't it make more sense to have several points in which you have to have some form of influence or at least have them cut off from the enemy. That would make it possible to add an all out rule. If any one team holds all points at any one time they win. I was thinking onestarting point for the enemy team and three points for the attackers. One point being the very top, another the eagle head and the third the fall cliffs.

Then again this idea seems to work better with collision detection so maybe its just dreamy thinking on my part.

And then one more thing would be makeshift barricades that could be smashed. The might add a certain bit more challenge to the attacking party and more tactical thinking into the plans of the defense. Buts thats pretty much what I had to say. Thanks for listening.

This was a visual representation of me reading this. Nicely done.
