Minor interface tweak requests
I hope it's not presumptuous of me to start this topic, but I came in here expecting to see an appropriate place for it and didn't find one.
I'd like to see the section of the fight code where it gives you the yield of Vlad's Decryptonomicon give you a link back to your computer lab.
Maybe the words "your computer" could be linked to the lab with no fanfare or text-decoration property? I'm a big fan of links that aren't visibly distinguishable, as they reduce potential confusion, but that could be just me.

I did that partly because you can select (yourself) from the contact list dropdown to easily get buffs targeted back at you. It's not a big deal for me, but I've got a short name...Ryme wrote:Is it better then if you have to retype the name of a person if you're casting a couple of buffs on them? I was kind of following KoL's lead in this area, and assumed there was some consensus that remembering the last person was beneficial.
In TH's case, I'd probably suggest keeping the field filled out when submitting the form, but not when loading it from somewhere else. That way if you wanna cast 3 buffs on the same person you can, but you don't end up accidentally giving glebs a bunch more metal detector when you meant to selfishly throw it onto your own pile.

Something I'd like to see:
When you click 'Character', you get your sheet. It would be nice if clicking your name on that sheet gave you what everyone else saw. As it stands now, you either need to click your name in chat, or do a player search on yourself.

Something I always found a bit odd was the gambling games in the casino district aren't actually inside of a casino.
My suggestion is to move them inside of the Wooden Nickel, an have the main patrol area "The Casino Floor" or "The Pit", as "Casino Gounds" infers to me the whole property, including back of the house and back room.
This would also (hopefully) help with some of the confusion of the back of the house opening up and people not knowing where to look.
Or is this more of a "Creative player ideas". I didn't think so, as it's not really anything new, just restructured.

"This neighborhood contains some of the older and more run down—and thus seedier—casinos in Twilight. At night you're as likely to lose your shirt to a mugger on the street as you are to lose it at the tables inside one of the casinos. Where do you want to go?"
I guess there is no specific casino you go to to play these games, just whatever one you feel like going to. The Golden Wooden Nickel is just particularly good for patrolling in.

I've been fiddling with my inventory a lot lately, and I have some thoughts on it.
Wear Things:
Some manner of organization is starting to be needed, I'm afraid. I was looking at my inventory, and I have about two and a half pages (1280x1024) of items, and I don't have half the items that, say, Satan does. I'm guessing a breakdown of 'Comestibles', 'Equipables', 'Manipulatables' (usables), and... 'Decoratables' (misc.)?
Also, once the Full Inventory gets less cluttered, improving the 'Sell Items' section could probably use an overhaul.
Wear Things:
- It's been mentioned, but clicking on 'Accessory' from my current equipment should drop me to that section.
- Collapsible sections would be nice while scrolling through my stuff.
- The order is screwy. Your current equipment is listed as Helmet, Main Hand, Shirt, Gloves, Pants, Boots, Off hand, Acc1/2. Your wearable equipment is listed as Helmet, Shirts, Full Body, Melee, Ranged, Offhand, Gloves, Pants, Accessories. I understand needing to break up melee and ranged, but if the orders could be roughly the same, that would help. Also, is it supposed to be "offhand" or "off hand"?
- A "remove all" option would be nice.

Can we buy multiples in the Wok? Or at least have the radio button stay highlighted? T'would make life a little easier when shuffling around stars.

Probably low on the to-do list, but a chat tweak to make links work like KoL's do. In other words, it tosses up a hyperlinked [link], and breaks up the link itself to avoid frame breaking.

From Zcollins:
When trying to rest with no time left (ex: at 6:58:30 AM but still with turns) it displays
I'm just proposing that one of the main page links be replaced if at all possible. Looks kinda screwy.

Can't Rest, Gotta Work
Sadly, you don't have time to rest right now. Work starts in an hour, and you've got to get home and get cleaned up. If you wanted to sit around resting, you should have thought about that before staying up all night playing with your friends. "Playing" being code for "saving the city" and "with your friends" meaning "from evil."
Go back to the main page.
