Remove (Disguised) next to Disguised PCs

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:
- implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
- the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
- the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Remove (Disguised) next to Disguised PCs

Post by DestroyerOTN » Sat Feb 20, 2016 1:10 am

As far as I have been told, this was implemented at a time and day when the function wouldn't display the name, and certainly couldn't literally replace the Character's name.

You'd literally just see:

Achuak'iejir Stormwind (Disguised)

-if I was to wear a disguise; instead of, say;

Dark-Armored Woman (Disguised)

Nowadays, it just leads to needless instances and excuses for the metagame of a well-thought out guise (and - subsequently - reduces the importance of a well-thought out guise, since people are gonna act different around you/roll spot-checks incessantly by virtue of what they see anyway)

Add to the layer of mystery some! Remove those bloody tags. :P

We're not removing the (Disguised) tag, sorry. The tag is there so that players know OOCly they are interacting with a disguised character. This is important as it helps to inform roleplay and acts as a reminder that players should continue to regularly examine the character to represent their character's passive observation.

While, naturally, some problem players will abuse this, the same players would still abuse it without the (Disguised) tag by checking your player name. If players are metagaming your disguises, report them! That is why we have DMs.
