Hmmm forgive me if this has already come up, but I'm way behind on my email.
How about something like:
]consider bubba
You've no idea how good Bubba is in a fight.
Now imagine you try again later, after watching Bubba dispatch a few goblins:
]consider bubba
Bubba is pretty good at fighting, but you think you could probably beat him.
So you try and kill Bubba...the trouble is he was using his rusty old dagger
against the goblins, but when you attack he pulls out the dreaded Katana of
Castration and almost kills you. Later you consider him again:
]consider bubba
Bubba would slaughter you in a fight!
This could be added into my recognition code quite easily, and other people
shouldn't have much trouble doing similar. It's certainly an interesting
idea, thanks for the inspiration :)
KaVir.
