nope, the screen would get to spammed with to many combat messages...
Harder to tell if you manage to hit/miss as well

well I suggested in a reply post that this system be used for one vs one combat, to give that further feeling of an intense dual, and that a dimmed down brief system be used in group combat (OR they could just remove damn leadership) ;)

Ie in short combat they could simplify it to one line: *Nazgum the Orc* slips beneath *Alweon the Elf*'s defences and jabs deeply with his dagger. (That would be the damage message btw, No need for this tickle/shatter bullshit, they want to move away from numbers anyways this would be much nicer)

I agree with you that leadership would be removed, or at least it should be changed so you cannot use it while pking, but when xping you can. Dunno how this could be done though.
Did you say that when you fight 1on1 messages would be longer, like 2 lines?
I dont think thats a good idea since I dont want mume to be any spammier.

this would never happen in anything more than 1 on 1 because of spam
on the flip side, anyone who has ever dissected fight.c can tell
you this can be implemented easily

I like the idea, I did post something like that too but its noidea. MUME will never be nearly or perfectly realistic or something like that in noidea.

I agree to it, and would like to see it implemented. See? They don't care. :)

I dont like it.

It really sounds 'cool', and would be a great feature. However, my link can't usually handle *1* line of combat per round, I would be mincemeat if I had to transfer 2 lines :(

Yeah, the spam would kill us poor slow linked bastards

Sounds good, besides it may be a feature that can
be turned on/off, so those against it can live without it.
This also allows it to be not restricted in 1 on 1, while you can turn it
off when several oppnents have spotted.

The same effect could be given by just having 10 random messages for each weapon class and have it chose one every time you hit :/ I dont really know if it adds much to know you nimble dodge or swing your hips to avoid or whatever. But to have several different skills to parry/dodge sounds like alot of bother...
