Mood Verb Idea (RP Oriented) 06/23/2008 09:12 PM CDT
Stealing this idea from Modus, I thought it could be helpful for Role Player purposes.

Mood in modus allows you to set a mood for yourself (or remove it and have none)
Examples: sick = Celia seems to be in a sickly mood.

Here is the pertinent info

>mood
You can feel:
Angry Confused Concerned Crabby Disgruntled
Excited Contented Depressed Happy Lonely
Nervous Sad Mischievous Tired Worried
Playful Grumpy Guilty Woeful Sentimental
Ashamed Distressed Embarrassed Wistful Melancholy
Dreamy Furious Elated Ornery Nostalgic
Hungry Thirsty Irritated Annoyed Impatient
Goofy Flustered Frustrated Silly Scatterbrained
Mad Hesitant Curious Offended Nonplussed
Scared Uncertain Jealous Sleepy Apprehensive
Pensive Thoughtful Uneasy Aloof Discouraged
Bleak Mortified Forlorn Serene Indifferent
Dizzy Perplexed Frightened Drunk Enlightened
Bored Relaxed Sick Vacuous Amused
Upset Exhausted Determined Calm Confident
You're not in any particular mood at the moment.
[You may also use FEEL OFF to clear your mood setting.]
>mood grumpy
>l cel
You see Celia Osperani.
She appears to be in her late teens.
She stands 5 feet and 6 inches tall and has an average build. She has light skin, shoulder-length straight chestnut hair, and slate eyes.
Celia seems to be in a grumpy mood.
>mood off
You can't really decide how you feel right now, so let's just call it normal.
>l cel

The only real quirk I see is death. Since there isn't any death in modus, moods would probably need to flag off at death, or we'll have happy corpses :D

I thought about making it so tired/fatigued came up when you lost vit - but I think this works better strictly as a RP tool, to let people know how your character may be carrying themselves without the need to try to do so with verbs that don't quite fit the bill or with excessive verb usage.

At first blush, it looks a lot like demeanor- which is very limited. But after that, it looks good! I sure could have used it while dealing with a few quests!
