- Just a note on getting permission for non-riders to be allowed
- to hear dragons on the MUSHes... for the cases of people who want
- to say they hear all dragons, period, this seems like an obvious
- requirement and I have no problem with it. I do know, though, that
- on SouCon there've been a number of cases where an individual rider
- chose, for plot reasons in a specific one-time circumstance, to use
- a '*do w *' command to allow a nonrider to hear their dragon on the
- given occasion -- usually startling the hell out of the nonrider,
- which was part of the point. I've never heard of anyone complaining
- as long as (a) it's the rider's choice, not the nonrider who hears,
- (b) the riders use some discretion on how much they go around doing
- this. I've seen it most often used as part of Search... and yes, the
- Candidates who can (accurately, otherwise they *do* get contradicted
- by the rider involved) say that their Search dragon talked to them
- *do* get looked at by the other Candidates IC as having a better chance
- of Impressing for it -- but I think it's safe to say that OOC everyone
- knows better than to believe it. I've never heard of that requiring
- official permission; as I said, it's generally up to the rider as long
- as they don't overuse the privilege and get silly with it. This seems
- consistent with the occasions in the books where someone who did not
- officially fall into the 'can-talk-to-all-dragons' category had a given
- dragon speak to them; it's a different class.
