This page is for recording and discussing ideas for plugins and extensions that have not yet been implemented.

Transmogrifications

Each user has a set of abbreviations and their expansions. Users can customize this set, but the default would be something like:

afk 

away from keyboard

brb 

be right back

gg  

good game

gl  

good luck

ty  

thank you

wtg 

way to go

yw  

you're welcome

The plugin would check each public message from the user and replace any abbreviations found with their expansions. There would also be methods for getting the list of abbreviations to display for the user, and add/delete/edit abbreviations. Puzzle Pirates has a long list of these transmogrifications but players can't change them. It's rather fun to find a new one or try to figure out what somebody else must have typed that got translated into "What in the seven seas" or "harmonica lesson" (and confusing when somebody is trying to say they are from New Hampshire and the NH keeps coming out as "nice hand").

We could implement several variations on this idea, including one where the transmogrifications are kept in a database, possibly one where they are a room variable instead of a user variable.
