Guard & Grapple

Ok, this little thing has -really- been irking me. If somebody in guarding an exit, I figure that grappling them would mean taking control of them, to a certain degree, and allow me to exit through the exit they were guarding. But, on the contrary, the person 'pushes me away from the exit'. HOW COULD THEY! I'm holding on to them!!!!
I really think this needs changing…

*vents frustration by kicking small porcupine thing around some*

Any way it can be handled? Thanks.

You know I argued the same point to the admin not to long ago.  Prolly shoulda posted it so others could join my beef.

I dunno if you can or not, because I've never tried, but, people shouldn't be able to open or close a guarded door, unless they're the one guarding it.

Heh. That is pretty silly.


Mind you, I think grapple is a horribly abused command anyway. Especially in combat. It's almost as bad as disarm.


kill Moss
grapple Moss
grapple Moss
grapple Moss
grapple Moss
disarm Moss
disarm Moss
disarm Moss
disarm Moss

God damn twinks.

I gotta say kids, there are things you can do with the code, that sometimes you just have to stop and say to yourself "This is lame, perhaps I shouldn't rape the limitations of this great game." and not do it.

If someone grapples you when you're guarding a door, and tries to leave, for fucks sake, stop guarding the door and let them. :P

I think it's to easy to grapple someone.  I've yet to be told you lunge at so-and-so, but the prevent you from locking them in your grasp, or whatever the failiure message is.  It should be harder to grapple someone than to just attack them.  IRL, it's easier just to take a swing at someone than to get them in a choke hold.

Actually, it's easier to get out of the way of someone's fist than their entire body, same as it's easier to get out of the way of a dog than a truck. Which is why most fights (RL) tend to degenerate into people ramming and grabbing at each other. Grapple only turns into choking in combat on SD - hugging someone really hard isn't a very plausible tactic, after all. But, out of combat, if somene is standing next to you and grab you unexpectedly, what are your chances, really, of altogether avoiding it? Grapple outside of combat is very vaguely described, so it's all in your RP. When I grapple someone I like to pose grabbing them by the collar (if there's time for posing).
