How about a "capture" command where if you defeat your opponet he is "captured" and cant move his health is at 0... but is only effective untill the first tick YOUR not in the room...

"If it is being abused (someone held down for 10 min)" I think you just explained how it could be abused.

It's just a bad idea. You're trying to hard code forced rp. While I fully believe in any hard code that adds options to rp, I don't agree with anything that -forces- people to do so. If someone wants to rp with you after being stunned, then they will stick around and do so. I know it's rare, but it does happen.

If someone doesn't...then why are you trying to force them?

I'm for letting stunned people hear and see so you can stun them and then say something like "dont run you wont be killed" or some such...but this idea...no

I kind of like the quoted idea. The stunned person can't enter any commands/receive tells/hear the cb/etc. but can passively see or hear or both what is happening in that room. I don't know how often this will come into play in PvP situations but it allows for greater flexibility. And I don't see how this could be abused.

In fact a bit of flavor could be added. For example, all says would start off "A seemingly distant echo of XXX says 'Blah blah blah, Superg!' ". Or for things you would see it could be, "Blurrily and out of focus you see XXX doing whatever".

Edit: I left out the word "the" in the first sentence, making me sound like Bruno from Labyrinth.

The idea of letting people get hazy images or hear things in a daze is really cool, and there are few reasons why it shouldn't or couldn't be implemented.

I say that if we need anything like this change, just make it so you can hear while stunned (maybe not see, though) and then if stun doesn't last long enough, make it so that you have to wait a tick after regaining consciousness to move out of the room.

I'd say only let them hear, not see. That way you can still stun someone and take something from them without them knowing.
