Vgstation13: Set-pose verb is flavor text but stronger

[JustSumBody]

Use the set-pose verb
Enter LITERALLY ANYTHING unlogged, have said text show up on examine through any disguise or identity dealio

(said player was actually Jackie Chan disguised as someone else, but the text still showed)

[Ephx1]

I never understood the purpose of a "pose", surely that can be covered in flavortext?
I'd be fine with just removing it.

[kol1th]

It's used in RP servers as something like a "per-round flavortext", showing things that change more compared to the static flavor text. Kindof useless here.

[Zth--]

Instead of removing it, we should make it togglable

[Probe1]

wait what we have this?

[kol1th]

@Probe1 It's always been there. Nobody uses it.

[ThePlapatin]

remove this instantly please, we can't trust our current playerbase not to metagame

[Shadowmech88]

I wonder how much sanity this has.
Could you use it to convey information via your corpse?

[Exxion]

I have nothing against RP features in theory
But in practice they always seem to be really badly implemented

[Ephx1]

I'm all for RP but when something is this broken and probably nobody even knows about, I see no reason why it shouldn't be removed.

[Blithering]

How to cause mild panic with set pose.

[gbasood]

@Zth-- the point is that it's possible to use this to communicate without logs to do things such as:

• ERP
• Ockick
• identify a person via their pose no matter what they're wearing or if they're a ling or not
• other bad things I might be overlooking

Toggleability is not a solution

[Zth--]

I mean server togglable, so forks can have it if they want to

[gbasood]

Ehhhh
Given the shitcode that it is, which I saw because making a PR to remove it right now, they'd want to rewrite it themselves anyways.
It literally does text parsing on EVERY EXAMINE to add punctuation
