Report 1281

Report #1281
Skillset: Crow Skill: Crowsnest
 Org: Cantors Status: Completed Sept 2013
Furies' Decision:
Will reduce the frequency of the third-person message (but probably won't be a
constant like once every 2 minutes).
Problem: The third-person message when someone passively chews on their nest
occurs every 10 seconds, and everyone in the room "gags" automatically at the
sight. If the person who is chewing on their carrion has a defense active that
drains mana, this -never stops-. Every 10 seconds, they will chew again,
leading to quite a bit of spam and disruption.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Just remove the third-party message for this, as it
 serves no real purpose.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Make it so that the third-party message can't fire
 more than once every 2 minutes (the first-person
 message and healing tick will continue to occur every
 10s, but others in the room won't see it more often
 than once every 2 minutes). This will still enable
 conversations about carrion to occur, but not leave
 everyone in the room annoyed by it.

Obviously I approve of this message.

You mean I'll no longer get to watch Xenthos unceremoniously chew upon rotten
corpses at the Master Ravenwood? I don't know what I'll do with my life. It was
the best way to manage my diet.

Sure

Both are fine

Supported. Solution 3 should've added an exception for Xenthos.
