Disguise and tells

Unread post by mrm3ntalist »

Those that are in disguise and send tells, dont expect a reply. There is no way to send one.

You can tell the orginal name. Or right click on the character and then tell.

If you also have Client Extender open and look at the box with the log it'll show you their real name.

Which given that self enablement for meta makes the point of the system fairly moot.

I've used /tp "login name" when tells don't work due to disguise or some other reason but that means you have to know/look the login name.

I've ran into this problem also with a DM and yes, at times disguised person/DM does expect an answer.

Maybe better delete this thread. I posted here but I am not keen seeing metagaming.

If we could make dusguise prevent metagaming, that would be great.
