   I will admit this is a huge pet peeve of mine, and might come across as ass hat and bitchy, but this is the rant thread and I thought I would finally post it here.

   The Borris script is great I will admit, ingenious, and really really cool with its wide variety of food and drink choices. My huge issue with it is that it really spams the chat in the cafe. When there are one or two other players in the Cafe, its not so bad. When there are 5, 10, or more people like their were tonight in the Cafe, it is a real bloody nuisance and spams Local Chat, and has people miss poses lost in the chat spam. I would love if there ever was a way that the Borris chat could be moved to IM, but until that time, it really hampers other people's rp when there are several people in the cafe.

   So since we are supposed to respect others rp here, can I please ask you, Legacies, that if there are five or more people in the cafe, don't use the Borris Script. You can rp it, you can target him and pay him money that way, you can used gorge to simulate gaining food, none of which that causes chat spam in the room. I know you would like others to be considerate to you, and it really is a pain in the ass to scroll through the spam when there are multiple people posting at the same time.

   Thanks

   I know the Borris spam can be irritating at times but normally when someone uses him I just wait till the chat is complete before I do my post. I know several that do this so their post is not lost within it. At this time there is no way to change it to only go to IM, not to mention you would lose the full immersion quality of RPing ordering from him.

   My best suggestion is just to wait to do you post till it is complete. Borris is a character in Legacies and even has a story.

   The RP in the cafe can get quite intensive when there are many within, being flexible, take your time, and enjoy it will only take you further into the immersion.

   Again when there are more than five people in the cafe, this becomes a real nuisance and simply waiting for script to complete isn't a great solution as player's posts get lost in the spam. It’s happened to me more times than I can count when I am at my screen, waiting for a response, and I get poked in IM by my rp partner at the time asking me "Are you going to respond?" Which makes me go huh, and having to scroll up and hunt for their response that happened 5-10 minutes ago but was missed. I am not the only player that this affects. I have been in the cafe when five players in a row used the script, and I waited for more then ten minutes to post my response, which is also ten minutes my rp partner is there, staring at their screen wondering "Is he going to post, did I miss it with the Borris chat, is he even at his computer?" Not really fair to either of us when that happens.

   I am not saying get rid of Borris or his script, or remove him from Legacies. What I am asking for is respect for my rp, and others rp, and asking players when the cafe is full of people, to refrain from using the script. I have on numerous occasions posted in my rp interacting with Borris, ordering tea, wine, food, all without using the script, and then later targeted him and paid him his coins (and often giving him a nice tip). I don't think it is a burden, or hindrance to other player’s rp to do the same when the Cafe is over flowing with people.

   After all, I play in Legacies as much as any other player, and my thoughts and opinions should carry the same weight, and have the same respect and courtesy paid to me as it is to others.

   I will be changing the scripts so they produce no text at all in the public chat. Borris will effectively be "whispering", so only the person who interacted with it, can "hear" him.

   However, this change won't happen overnight, as I need my new computer to arrive first, before I am able to get in-world.

   Hope that satisfies your request, Arthur. Player respect is very important to me.

   Thanks Trijin, and I understand it won't happen overnight, and again, I am really not trying to come across as an asshole, but I've lost count on how many times I've lost posts directed at me because the script was in play. I really just wanted people to just think and not use the script if there were lots of people rping the the cafe, but the change to Borris script so the bulk of it happens not in public chat would fit the bill too.

   Thanks for listening!
