I was just thinking ... could we have more options for KISSing?
like, Kiss <soandso> chaste, passionate, fierce, soft, tender, et cetera?
And also have some of those same options for kissing places ... KISS <soandso> <place> tender, passionate, et cetera.
Yeah, most of these can be done with ACTs, yeah, but it can be tedious when you're in large groups of people. _________________ Life is grand.

While not quite what you wanted, you can give someone a chaste PECK. |

Yeah, I know, but not quite the effect I was thinking of. More something like:
You brush your lips across Soandso's lips in a soft, chaste kiss.
You gently lean into Soandso and brush hair from her face while placing a tender kiss on her lips.
Wrapping Soandso in a tight embrace, you kiss her passionately while nibbling on her lips for added effect.
Or something along those lines. Then, for kissing a persons area:
You nuzzle Soandso's neck, your breath whispering against her neck as you place a tender kiss on it.
Soandso would see: Denave DeVries nuzzles your neck, and a small shiver travels up your spine as he tenderly kisses your neck.
I just think it would give a new depth for people who want it. Which could just be me. _________________ Life is grand. Then you become a surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life-threatening stupidity and realize that the only real life, is the one full of fun times.

I already use ACT liberally. _________________ Life is grand. Then you become a surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life-threatening stupidity and realize that the only real life, is the one full of fun times.

that rocks. i need to get in the habit of using it more, myself.
that said, i'm hoping in live performers lose the ENACT ability and it opens up to everyone, plus there are ways to make things like YARU DEX show up as You and another name show up as you for them, and so on. _________________ 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!

Oddly enough, I wouldn't be against ENACT being for everyone. As long as the ability get replaced with something sweet. I use ENACT on occasion, but mostly I stick to ACT. ENACT I still consider a special ability, and probably will continue, even if everyone has it. _________________ Zanquin Firestarter, Performer of many talents, alchemy addict, stratohunter addict and all-around crazy harlot

what is ENACT? This is the first I've ever heard of it, never being a performer myself. _________________ Life is grand. Then you become a surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life-threatening stupidity and realize that the only real life, is the one full of fun times.

I don't know how many people would use it, but I was considering something like:
XACT <target player>;<message for all>;<message for target>
i.e. XACT fred;points a finger at Fred and says, "Bang!";points a finger at you and says, "Bang!" _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

that would be awesome. part of me feels that would be pretty hard to use a lot but i love the idea of it being available. _________________ 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 considered earlier that an abbreviated form could be possible:
XACT <target>:message with placeholder %t
i.e. XACT Fred:gives %t a thumbs up!
Fred and the room get different versions. This wouldn't work in all situations, but would in many.
If it didn't work for your situation, you could still use:
XACT <target>:message for room;message for target.
It would even be possible with multiple targets, seperated by a colon (note the use of colon and semicolon in the above examples).
Of course, any way you cut it, this has a small learning curve.
Another option I could add, though, is to literally allow players to create a personal verb. If I did this, I'd have to limit it to small numbers of players (i.e. over a certain level, standard account, one per account, that kind of thing.)
i.e. MYVERB <verbname>, where it would prompt you for certain information. The downside of this is the potential for typos, grammar errors, historical/lore errors, and the like. A potential fix for that would be for the verb to be submitted for staff approval, which could take some time, but would assure more accurate text. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

the placeholder one would be cool. _________________ 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 personally don't care how much I have to type to get an act to go across right.
I do love the xact <targetplayer>:message for room;message for player one. It would work for everything, if you wanted to type it out and actually use it. It would especially be useful in instances similiar to when Holden went beserk. A lot of what he did were ACTs, and while I automatically see "Denavae" as "You" when used by others in an act, it would be a helluva lot more personal to actually see "So and so places a gun to your head" type thing.
Of course it would pretty much mean that there would be no use for adding little 'fluff' verbs.
As for the personal verb ... I like the idea, but if it's to be limited to a persons level, account status or whatever else, I'd rather not see it done. However, if the ENACT verb becomes useable by everyone, I could see performers getting the personal verb for their 'replacement' skill. Have it as level based, and over the course of two hundred levels (for live), have maybe four or five times where you can an extra one. So, say you get your first personal verb at level 15. Second one at 50, third at 110, fourth at 175, and finally a fifth at 200. _________________ Life is grand.

fluff verbs are good just as fast ways to accomplish things.
ie: "wave bob" is always going to be easier to do (for me at least) than "xact bob:Yaru Dex waves at %t;Yaru Dex waves at %t" or whatever.
i really love the idea of xact, though. _________________ 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!
