Kitasi rolls on the floor laughing at Bob
But seriously, yes it is a rp abomination, I wish we could actually pace
things off though or mapping dungeons would be impossible. Since we can't
pace things out, I'll accept the pain of /loc as the programming nightmare
of allowing us to use 100' of rope to measure out dungeons would be
insurmountable I suspect. Better just to assume that's what we're doing, (I
do wear a cloth cord!) or pacing off, and live with the ugliness of it.

In a similar vein to the discussion of bards wearing plate and other
aspects of roleplaying, are there other hardheads out their who would
rather drown than use /loc and numeric coordinates?
Personally I consider /loc a debugging command and a roleplaying
abomination. I refuse to deal with it. If we are to have such a pin-point
locating and finding capability, it should be a proper in-game mechanism,
not a computer programming artifact.
