You may disagree, but perhaps with a statement I didn't make. I didn't say you couldn't find RP by wandering the grid. I was talking about how it can never simulate a real life setting (if that is someones goal), and how there are more efficient ways to allow for random meetings.

If you had a +RP or +meetme or anything else with an explicit purpose of making random scenes in places more feasible, you filter out all the players who just want to get to a place to log out, or who have declared a differing time, who are idle, or racing to a scene they have already arranged.

I have nothing against places for random RP. Love them. +meetme, and potentially a +scene randomizer is more efficient.

+wander might be a better name. If you could eliminate places you would never go outside of a plot (prisons, the royal chambers, the crypts, holy ground whatever) you begin arriving at a common possible place of meeting before you ever type +wander.

More efficient. More purposeful. Potentially more helpful. Less code than representing all the NPCs and events as background chatter via @emits.
