In the advanced editor, is it possible to address the player by their username? Like, any script that you can use that is similar to "Oh thank you, $USERNAME."? It would help give personality to many stories. I doubt it is, since I have yet to see it in any story I've rated, but I thought I'd ask about it here just to be safe.

We wish :)

Moved to FWW

That wold be cool though, if here was some way to have a name like you can in newer RPG's

One of you two need to change your avatar...

Um, why?

They're so similar color wise - I get the two confused. Want me to make you one?

No, I enjoy my avatar at the moment. Mayby some other time. Thanks for the offer though!

Okay 3j. I changed my avatar just for you. Hope you like it.

Melike - Please change you avatar, silver had it first and its been his for awhile now

    yeah, please change it. It's not really nice to use anothers avatar. (on Purpose atleast.) ESPECIALLY not to just cheese off a well respected member like 3J. And unless I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure there able to change your avy to nothing.

Well when I saw his reply, his avatar looked the exact same.  Not a very funny joke, melike :P

He must have changed it before you came on. Before It was mine.

Yeah, I got that.

Yeah that was incredibly hilarious.. I'd be pissed if someone used my avatar w/out my permission, thats bull.

And I disagree, most stories say "you" and never give a character name for the protagonist.  In any of those stories, this could be used somehow.

Thats exactly what I was thinking of. Like at the beginninng they enter a 3-5 letter name. (Or whatever #) and when you enter, like, say, $USERNAME it shows up what name they entered at the begging.

Well that depends on the style of the storygame.

IE:

I could create a character in zelda called DYNAMITEKID and he'd be link.  So what if DYNAMITEKID isn't a realistic kid for some fantasy elf like thing.

Yeah, anyway October, you said something about being able to do this already with scripting? How? This might just be enough to me actually sucking it up and learning it.
