about that sneezing powder.

If we gotta have it, make a small change:  using the powder makes the user glow a color (say green)  for a brief time, so that, as mentioned in chat, those around can splank the shit out of him/her.

  • I hate sneezing powder >:( Honestly, I would not be against getting rid of it completely.

    Recently we got attacted with sneezing powder during a project and the @#$%^&* kept it up forever; it took me over 5 mins to get to the sign post to leave, then after 30 mins waiting in the other st. I came back and the #$%^& was still doing it!!
    ^^ sorry about that... I just need to complain a bit sometimes...

  • A single sneeze session while waiting for a project to recycle is funny. Repeated use of it is more than annoying. But players can sparkle the heck outta me any time (as long as there are no brooding teenage vampires around to blame)! Speaking of which, am I the only one that imagines I am chipping away at the Cullens when I am mining Sparkly?!

  • MOF, you certainly are not now. Grinding just got a little better.

    Why don't they make it so the powderer sneezes 2 times longer than the powderee? So there should be a break and you can watch the guy with the beans flying out of his nose.

  • Ebil made a good point in the other sneezing powder thread:  sometimes people do it just to try it out or they have a quest, and it would not be good if they got splanked for it.

    On the other hand, I would still want to know who did it so I could politely request that they not do it again, and then be ready to have some 'splankin to do if necessary.

    Plus that cooldown period thing, +100 to that.

  • Sorry, but I'm FIRMLY in disagreement. Having names/avatars highlighted is a bad idea. See Ebil's post for explanation.

  • i like Anilover's idea about the powder affecting the culprit twice as long as the victims - now *that* would be amusing :)

  • Like I said in the other thread - your name does get mentioned in chat when you sprinkle sparkle powder - Stoot said that it not doing so was an oversight. 

    I think we're adult/rational enough to know when some is trying something out and when someone is griefing. Taking away the anonymity will be a deterrent to griefing.

    Plenty of us are, but there are so many more people playing who aren't. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

  • Grah, sneezing powder is so annoying! And that quest (to make 5 people sneeze) really doesn't help. I just wish it didn't prevent you from typing (so it'd act like sparkle powder).
