> > 1. I'm not sure it's 80 char/line. I think 80 works for most people, but I believe 60 is a safer bet (80 is too long for me, for example). I could be wrong...line it up with a room description to be safe. I liked (and now use) Challen's suggestion which is to open a word pad, make the font New Courier, and type: > Many room descs around Thera are 80 characters, so that's what I've been using. You and your kooky 60 characters! It's not our fault you use some North Swahili OS/2 program to access CF! =P > > 2. This myth that you only need a role if you're trying to do something crazy like jump allignment/classes, etc...is a horrible, untrue rumor indeed. I, and many other immortals, have discussed the topic until we're blue in the face and I don't think anybody, anywhere, came close to saying, "you only need a role if you're doing something really weird." Very disappointing that people believe it and feel the need to tell people that on a forum...but I give up. > I'm baffled as well. Not only have several IMMs said it, but many miscellaneous posters have debunked it repeatedly. My guess: It's a nice excuse for having a character with no role, written or otherwise.
