Purely an RP verb.

New command: sleep

Can't do it standing or in water.

If done while sitting, puts you into a 'dozing' state.
If others look at the room, they see, "So-and-so who is dozing." or "So-and-so who is dozing in a black leather armchair."

If done while lying down, puts you into a 'sleeping' state.
If others look at the room, they see, "So-and-so who is sleeping." or "So-and-so who is sleeping on a well-crafted aefafe bed."

When people look at the sleeping person, they see, "You see so-and-so, who is dozing/sleeping."

While sleeping or dozing, maybe we could snore, mumble, drool, or various other things sleeping people do. Maybe these could be SET by us or somehow marked as preferred, as while one person may snore, another may talk in their sleep and a third may grind their teeth.

Any type of action verb brings you out your sleeping state.

Ideas, additions or thoughts?

While I'm all for random action messages and whatnot, maybe certain verbs could cause special messages instead of the computer randomly generating one for you. Since this is purely for RP purposes, I would like to see a bit more control over what your character does (besides, if I don't think Acosae would drool in his sleep, I wouldn't want him to randomly do it).

ie:
Quote:

>sleep
You go to sleep while lying in a hammock.

>snore soft
You take a long, deep inhalation.

>snore
You snore.

>snore hard
The sounds coming from you are starting to scare small children in neighboring towns.

>say Holy Jesus!
Since you are currently asleep, you barely manage to construct a single syllable.


And others would see appropriate messaging.

With this, though, you'd pretty much have to disable every other verb that didn't have a special to-do while asleep. So, SLEEP would be the obligatory on/off command for this.

Two cents isn't worth much these days.
