I was told it was once available to Preformers, but taken away. Can we see about getting it back? I'm not sure why it was taken away, I was told people bitched about it. If thats the case, I'd like to hear why people dislike this skill ... other than the 'I can't do it, so I don't want anyone to be able to' thing. I'm sure the bitching was do to some sort of abuse, but besides the slight embarrassment or degrading of so-and-so, I think it would be good entertainment, amusement and not all that dangerous. _________________

I think it would be fine if it were restricted to items. Afterall, it is a little difficult to sound exactly like someone else, to say nothing of someone of a completely different race (I would assume vocal cords have slight variances between a Jaddan and an Alteri, for example).

I think it should be useable on people. Yes, it may be difficult to sound like someone else, but if no-one has ever met that person, or they're someone you don't know ... How are you to know what they sound like? Peoples voices can change due to illness, excitement, and so on. So not everyone will sound the same all the time. Also, the depth of ones voice can be changed easily. _________________

Not to mention it's a profession that encompasses persons who make a living pretending to be other people; not that I'm swayed to throw the ventriloquism ball back in the pool just yet, mind you, I'm still unsure how I feel about it. _________________ Mickey Brunner

Well, as much as it might be a good trouble making command, I think it would also be good for RP. Good for skits, preformences, one-man shows, player created events, etc... Get where I'm going? _________________

Incidentally, I've used it on no less than two occasions to make other staff members volunteer to log meetings.
Or, you know, I didn't. I mean, they volunteered of their own accord and free will. _________________ Mickey Brunner

i'm all for it as long as there's some way to spot it if the perfomer sucks at it and/or the person observing is very, uh, observant. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

I think it being usable on other players is a very bad idea. _________________ Mellie Amresh says, "Send someone with a bigger dick."

To much area for abuse. The idea of somone else being able to talk for me honestly just pisses me off. _________________ Mellie Amresh says, "Send someone with a bigger dick."

It was available before, so I don't think it would be a problem to have it back. It is Preformer only after all, and there aren't very many high leveled Preformers that are usually around on a regular basis. So ... if the Preformers actually able to use it, keep themselves in check and resist the urges, all should be good. _________________
