I guess community support would help, but seems like most of the community is more interested in telling me that I should just give up, or that they like dairy products.
Nah, that's just the forum. You know how it is. Half the people that agree with the idea won't say so here and most of the people reading won't say anything whether or not they like or dislike. We'll see about the system I guess.
But, could you add to the command so it will display the success without displaying the target name? like:
/attempt notarget to slap Bob across the cheek Bob
Which prints
Alice attempts to slap Bob across the cheek, and fails.
Where "to slap Bob across the cheek" was the input Alice gave and she still puts in Bob as the target but it doesn't automatically print Bob's name at the end of the attempt, so that you can make more complex attempts that don't necessarily end with Bob's name.
The above attempt with the way the command works now would print:
Alice attempts to slap Bob across the cheek Bob, and fails.
After thought:
If you want to increase the likelihood of someone picking this up. I would say make a tl;dr post once you are satisfied with the demo. When you do the post, change the title of it to something with "tl;dr version" in it. Then put the link at the very beginning, give a sentence or two explaination of what the demo is, then put a few lines on how to use the demo. Then it will be super short and people might actually try it and play around with it.
It occurs to me that people probably see me answer the thread and assume its something long and drawn out or they were a part of that other thread that Rigwyn mentioned earlier so they skim and aren't really engaging with what you are trying to do. Make a super efficient post where they get all information in less than a paragraph and then they will probably be more likely to take an interest.
