Inquire (about name)
Posted: 15 Aug 2011 23:46
I'd like a new emote, "inquire <living>". Used as a polite request to someone to introduce himself.
Example: "inquire gnome"
I see: "You politely inquire the quiet timeworn male gnome about his name".
Others see: "<Enigma|The determined inquisitive male gnome> politely inquires <Onton|the quiet timeworn male gnome> about his name."
Onton sees: "<Enigma|The determined inquisitive male gnome> politely inquires about your name."
I think(hope) this is grammatically correct.
Reason:
When meeting new people it's standard for me (for most people) to present myself, but when meeting after that, it's impossible to know if they remember me or not (right)? So to not have to introduce every time "just to be on the safe side", it would be nice to have some formal way of asking for a reeintroduction.
This way, I won't feel pressured to present myself to everyone when they present themselves to me, just in case they presented themselves as a way of asking me to present myself.
(Yes, naturally my hidden motive for requesting an emote is for the possibility to make a trigger, introducing myself whenever someone asks me. What can I say? I'm lazy and semi-automatic. And I couldn't think of a good way to fix a trigger that wouldn't be too spammy.)
Putting it as a suggestion here, mainly to see others reactions on it, whether people will hate extra trigger-possibilities or maybe others already have a good way of automatically handling this?
