pretty sure you never have to say 'on'
it's just 'sit bar' or 'sit stool'
the first defaults to bar because it can't find an 'on' adjective or something, panics, and goes to bar, the noun. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

well either you sit on something or you don't, that's why there's no need for on.
it's 110% a parser issue (i think). it's just not set up for someone to sit in, on, under, beside, behind, etc something (i think). either it's an object to sit on or an object so sit beside. that's it.
it's fun to find out what you can and can't sit on a ttimes, too. at the aeton festival, there was a 'massive tree' i was able to sit on the top of, heh. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

With a bar in the room and a bar stool, have to sit second bar or sit on second bar to be able to sit on the stool. Just a tad confusing that it's not stool. _________________ All explorers are seeking something they have lost.

It's barstool. One word. So 'sit barstool' or even 'sit bars' should default to the barstool instead of the bar. Problem solved. _________________

okay, thanks
-chevonne
actually, the description is not one word.....
a crescent backed kokrugun bar stool with a round padded seat
altho sit bars does work, the description should be changed to one word then so everyone doesn't sit on my bar. Which what they do now.
just saying....

if you set it up so barstool comes before bar, i think that would fix it too. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!
