Report #1034
Skillset: Tattoos Skill: Inking
 Org: Nekotai Status: Completed Feb 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Tattooing is a ver time consuming trade-- one in which both the
tattooer and the person being inked stare blankly for minutes on end. To pass
the time, it isn't unnatural to talk or perform other actions. HOWEVER, certain
actions will break the tattooists attention and fail the tattoo process.
Anything that interrupts teleport would fail teleport. Talk: nope. Tell: nope.
Aether chat (such as GT, CT, CLT): yup. It is frustrating to both parties to say
the least.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Open all aetheric communication (ex. GT, CT, CLT) to
 NOT disrupt the inking process.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Provide a warning & block aetheric communication (ex.
 GT, CT, CLT) during inking.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Provide a warning & block aetheric communication AND
 all actions that consume eq/bal EXCEPT voluntary
 movement during inking.

Sure. Solution 1 supported. In my opinion, this could be taken further: The only
things that should stop tattooing are skill use and movement out of the room. If
emoting is disallowed, that should be overturned. Emoting to roleplay out the
act of being tattooed beyond the standard, bland, generic tattooing message
should be encouraged as much as possible.

I both support this and agree with Enyalida. RP should be encouraged, especially
when you have to stand around with someone for so long!

You really need to list what channels you want. Because right now, odds are what
you would get is only GT, CT and CLT. We really, really dislike 'ex.' or 'etc'.
List it or don't submit it. :(

Sure

HELP CHANNELS -> CT, CGT, CLT, GNT, GT, GTS, MARKET, NEWBIE, OTO, OT, OTI
(forget shout/yell). For that matter, also emote and the REPORT commands. I
could go on and on and on with exemptions that shouldn't fail tattoos. Wouldn't
it be easier to list what should break tattooing: movement & eq/bal abilities.

As Janalon notes it should be a blacklist, instead of being a whitelist where
everything is banned except certain things. Start with nothing being restricted
and go from there. Movement and skill use should drop it, nothing else really
comes to mind.

All 3 would be nice. I know that it can be confusing when tattooing. I swear
that replying to a tell rather than using tell once cause dan issue for me.

Support. I'd mimic what is allowed for enchanting cubes with inking tattoos

It should be a blacklist, but if not FT, ENVOYS, and NEWBIE. While tattooing
should take some thought, I've never in my life met a RL tattooist who just
wouldn't shut the hell up.
