A Few Questions About Ares

Hiya.

Names and aliases: Technically-speaking I could have the game auto-capitalize them, but I didn’t because I thought it was better to make people aware that it’s an explicit requirement (i.e. the game telling you: “Hey you need to capitalize this”) rather than a potentially-unexpected behavior (i.e. the player being all: “Hey! Why did it capitalize my name? Can I un-capitalize it? Where’s the help file?”) So it was a judgment call.

If other folks feel the same way, I can certainly change the behavior.

Help: I could fix that I suppose, but is that really something people actually do? I wouldn’t expect folks to have a pose where it’s like: “Faraday help” and nothing more to it. It seems more likely that they actually wanted the help command and just mistyped it.

Colors: I think I can make the list of random colors configurable. It isn’t currently. Stay tuned.
