So. How many times have you been running all over, or been in a fight, or whatever, and got a tell or several tells? It sucks sometimes, because either you lose the tells or you have to scroll up forever to find what you missed. What I would like to propose is a replay list, so when you type replay instead of showing just the last tell, it would show the last ten tells, and it would be able to work even if you've been connected the whole time. Thoughts?
Replay List
personally, I think it's a great idea. would be beneficial. don't see why it couldn't be added to THE LIST. cackles with insane glee
+1 for awesomeness.
I really like this idea.

Yeah, that's a great idea. +1 on this for sure.
Why stop at ten? Keep a full tell log that is purged at manual login (not reconnect). Would make life easy and also good for imms to check for abuse.
Ask and ye shall receive. Will do this tonight.
Bad idea dont do it!!!!!!
This is done.

So how does the new "replay" command interact with the old one?
AFK REPLAY
Syntax: afk
Syntax: replay
Syntax: replay tells
Typing AFK puts your character in a tell-saving mode as follows: any tell to
you is stored in a special buffer, and can be seen later by typing recall.
This is useful when you need to leave the mud for 5 or 10 minutes, but don't
want to miss tells. AFK shows up in your prompt until it is turned off.
Tells to link-dead players are stored in a similar fashion, and can also be
seen by typing replay (unless, of course, the character logs off before
reading them).
In addition, you can also list previous tells from your buffer so that you
can keep track in combat spam or move spam, without having to stop and scroll
on your client.
This seems a bit confusing...
Syntax says you have to use "replay" while the help file itself says it is "recall"?
Also, isn't "recall" command already taken?
Old *** helpfile, clearly. It's replay.
NOOOOOOOooOOOOOOOoooo!!!! Chesta I think we've been had!
Any chance we could have a "conversation replay" type of command where it grabs tells TO you as well as everything YOU tell THEM?
That way, when you want to save a conversation and not all the garbage in-between you don't have to go and manually edit out each tell/reply.
THAT would make my life SOOO much easier...
Hmm how hard would it be to add a replay cb or replay cc?
You guys are getting lazy....
You guys are getting lazy....
What you mean is, I RP my *** off in-between and during all the times I multi-pk you, and you're just sore.
Seriously though, many times I try to RP something, there are ALWAYS interruptions, or running, or I am out doing something during a conversation that I want to log etc.
Being able to have it auto-grab anything that was spoken/heard/moted would be the MOST fantastic thing I could think of. How many times do you do you have some RP interaction, say, 'I would love to log that!' then go, oh crap...I have 300 pages to edit in order to piece together that log....yuck.
Seriously, many of my most recent RP logs have come from me pasting the entire buffer into Word and having to scroll through 75-300 pages of text trying to pull out each line. Is it impossible, no. But it IS time consuming. During which time I could be RPing with F0xx or just PKing him silently.
