So this is something of an exploit that I found that I feel should be fixed.

So blind people can't write on paper but for some reason they are capable of renaming papers which just doesn't make sense, they can also point at objects around them.

This normally shouldn't be an issue but I at one point used it to relay a message that I was blind, deaf, mute, and unable to express myself and was given a cure.

Not totally serious but still.

I mean what's wrong with pointing as a blind person

Pointing at a particular thing just doesn't make sense

Your blind

See, how about this

If you're blind, make the message "You point at something, but you don't know what" whereas other people get the normal message

problem solved

Uh thats actually a great Idea

But also the paper naming thing

Why is this in policy?

echolocation

time to find out if im able to move this to the feedback forum

it worked

Sorry its the first issue thing I've posted.

You missed how they need light to know their surroundings.

I miss true blindness destroyer of newbie geneticists.

Precious memories of a changeling injecting me with all the bad mutations then leaving me to get lynched in his stead while I mewl at the valid hunter slowly breaking into genetics to kill me that I am completely crippled, blind and not the changeling. They killed me anyway.

Edit: Oh and fuck being able to see shit while crit which was the whole excuse for fucking up blindness. "Abloobloobloo if I can't see I am being dragged to medbay imma gonna succumb!" fuck those people and the code should never accommodate them.

blind people can hear dice rolls

Blind people aren't deaf....?

If he means they can see the outcome of the roll, then it's a problem.

could just IC it as people declaring their rolls

Feature not a bug lmao

blind people are also weak to flashes and flashbangs and the like

other than the sound from a flash being valid this seems like a genuine thing to fix

So okay all this feedback is all good and whatnot but can someone actually go about fixing this Maybe.

I don't see a problem with blind people knowing what they point at, since there are a lot more ways than seeing to determine what/where an object is.
