Better rules for selling things!

Never said that, I don't like blatant metagaming of items to put things straight.

If you want to put "BOOK"

put "BOOK" don't put "BOOK OOC: CASTS SLAY LIVING"

Edit:

What I mean is there should be something that JUSTIFIES ooc description. it really isn't that hard to type. "A magic ring providing protection from mundane attacks and death magic//+1 ac +1 vs death magic" instead of "Obsidian Ring //+1 ac +1 vs death magic//"

Now THAT makes sense.

What I was trying to say from the first post, but I fail at clarity I think. >.>

IC descriptions are just that: IC.  You want the merchant to make a better IC description, work IC to somehow enforce that.

That.

If you want OOC information, use examine.

if you want dbz information

[Kotenku]

This is trivial nonsense. The OOC description is a matter of convenience, because who wants to be arsed trying to figure it out from some obscure description, which isn't terribly interesting.

Oh, you wrote a three-hundred word description for a potion of protection from evil? Good for you. I'm still going to buy it from the poster that says "Potions of Protection from Evil" if the price is right.

Okay kotenku I'll say this for about the fourth time in all bold slightly larget text for you and anybody else who seems to miss this in every single post.

It does NOT take an HOUR or even SIXTY SECONDS to make a description like "A ring that protects from death magic //+1 save vs death//" if you "can't be arsed" and just decide to type Ring //+1 save vs death// then really...

Good thing this isn't carrying nuclear waste through a suburb.

Because this has derailed.
