Fuller Med restraints

Alright, I've @bugged this before  but I thought I'd get some player input on the situation.
So there's 3 people online last night, and none of the three players have IC reason to interact with each other.  I was bored as hell and decided (please dont smack me johnny or kevlar) to not be IC.  yes i admit it, i went OOC in a semi- major way.   But thats between me and the Admin-powers that be.  

now to the problem.

Fuller med: You can grapple a person, then lay them on the operating table, and restrain them. The mesg you get is something like You lay Superninjadoc on the table and wrap the restraints around his wrists and ankles.

This leads me to believe that he can't move. He can  look around, takl, shout, but not move.  
Well alls I can say is they can.  Whilst being OOC last night i did this to an NPC.  then I played around with the medications trying to "knock" him "out."  well not being a doc, i couldnt. So then I tryed to frisk him, and he spun out of my grasps… but he's restrained?  it says he is. in the room's description.  so then I try to knock him out using good ol' ass whooping.  he fought back! hard.  

Also, when a person is restrained they still have their same  @look_place, seems to me that shold be changed and be integrated into the room description, like in the drome. When you sit in the drome your @look_place me is gone, and it turns into a color and says you're sitting at the bar. same thing in fuller 'cept it has BOTH the "NinjaBob" is laying on the operating table, restrained. and "ninjaBob" is  standing here jacking the supplies.

obvious problem, people scan the description and dont notice ninjabob is restrained. they RP with him as usual and his scripts run as usual.. while he is restrained.

I think that covers it all yeah..

Johnny said the other night that the coders spend roughly 10% of coding time implementing neat things into the game.

The other 90% of the time, the cool things being implemented have to be tested, reinforced, tested again, to protect against just such things as what you've reported.

When you, the players, go OOC and stop playing as if your character were a real person, and abuse the code in any way, it is exactly the kind of thing that slows down the process on the MOO, and makes it take so long for you to get the cool toys you want to play with.

You guys are expected to act as adults, to remain IC, and not take advantage of loopholes. �In this case, it wasn't a matter of a player reaping rewards as a result of this sort of OOCish behavior, but it is still a prime example of the kind of behavior that sets us back.

Please, we urge all of you to remain IC, even if you are the ONLY person on the game. � There will be repercussions for taking such actions.
