I was speaking with GM Socharis from DragonRealms at Simucon, and we were discussing coding practices in both games. Eventually we got to the idea of a coding challenge, and that's when Solomon overheard us. That's what brings us here...
In the spirit of friendly competition, both games are creating the same new system, and we're being scored on its implementation. Why does this matter to you? PRIZES!
That's right, Solomon has approved some neat prizes dependent on our final score, but we need YOUR help. One of those prizes is extra shopping time at Ebon Gate for attendees, and another is increased rates of Feeder items going out while hunting (for everyone). There are some others I won't mention yet :D
Messaging is an important part of any system, and for this competition, messages from players are worth extra points. The system in question? Spitballs. Yup, we're giving you a way to shoot little wads of saliva and paper at your favorite people! Don't want to be the target of such childish shenanigans? Give us some demeanor-based messaging for throwing the cold shoulder at those vile Spitballers!
Here is the messaging we need, please post everything on this board so we can reference it all in one place, and ideas can bounce around. Please label your messaging, so we have an idea of which category it fits into.
Creating the spitball device. (Rolled up scroll? Piece of note paper? Whatever, just give us some messaging on how to make it!)
A method of loading multiple spitballs at once.
An unfortunate event that might cause stored spitballs to be lost.
A feature line for spitballs currently stuck to a player.
Extra fluff verbs to go with such a wondrous magical artifact as the spitball shooter.
Messaging or extra verbs for profession-specific spitballing.
Messaging or extra verbs for race-specific spitballing.
Messaging for shooting at NPCs and critters.

An unfortunate event that might cause stored spitballs to be lost.
As you pucker up in preparation to let loose your spitballs, a passerby jars you roughly in the back! Down the hatch they go! You begin to think dark thoughts of revenge. Also, what would get this taste out of your mouth?
Third person:
Player looks smug as his face contorts strangely. Suddenly, a passerby jars him roughly in the back! His eyes bulge as he gulps and a queasy look passes over his face.
No device though.

<Creating the spitball and device>
you rapidly ROLL a piece of (any kind of paper, but give the paper size a value in spitballs. And include junk scraps of paper found on critters) until it is soft and malleable.
you PUT the paper in {character name}
You begin chewing the paper and quickly search about finding a thick leaf ( reed, scrap of anything solid that can be rolled or is already a tube )suitable to roll into a tube.
after a few seconds of chewing you can taste the perfect combination of saliva and paper to make spitballs.
With the paper clenched between your teeth you tear off a spitball, tucking the rest of the paperwad in you cheek (external show something like a chipmunk hoarding nuts for winter)
<loading the device for one or more shots>
PULL (spitball device) (target)- you raise the (device) to your lips and use your tongue to push the spitball in the end turning toward (target) and fire off a spitball at (target)
PUSH (spitball device) (target) you rapidly chew the paper and tear off x number of spitballs, tucking them in your cheek. You raise (device) to lips and in an amazingly deep breath rapidly fire x number of spitballs at (target)
<An unfortunate event that might cause stored spitballs to be lost.>
While taking a deep breath you realize you have swallowed your spitballs and begin choking and gagging on them. RT, you feel yourself coughing but cannot breathe, RT You wonder to yourself if this spitball competition was really meant for you as you feel yourself fall unconscious for a moment. (show X breathes deep, then begins gagging, X begins turning blue as if choking, x slumps over for a moment, x wakes wondering where he/she is for a moment.
I will have to think more on the larger details and NPCs or race specific.

Re: OFFICIAL CONTEST: Spitballs!
08/15/2014 10:40 PM CDT
Creating the spitball device:
roll my scroll - while holding a scroll in your right hand and a wand in your left hand.
You roll your scroll tightly against your wand, ensuring that it is just the right size to hold your projectile.
messaging for throwing the cold shoulder at those vile Spitballers! -
Just as you line up your shot, Rozy looks at you with sad eyes and your heart melts a little. Maybe you should look for a more willing target.
A method of loading multiple spitballs at once:
bite scroll
You shove the whole scroll in your mouth and begin chewing it. Ugh, it tastes horrible. You spit out numerous bits into your spitshooter as quickly as you can to help remove the taste.
Amcpens shoves his scroll in his mouth and then turns a bit green before spitting something into his spitshooter.
An unfortunate event that might cause stored spitballs to be lost:
Just as you prepare to fire a spitwad at Rozy, she taps the end of your spitshooter jamming it in your mouth. You sputter and cough, resulting in your spitwad makeing a pitiful arc straight to your shoe.
Messaging or extra verbs for profession-specific spitballing:
Warrior - With a mighty heave Amcpens leans forward as he spits a wad at Rozy. There is a wet splat sound as the spitwad strikes her in the back of the head. Eww, it's dripping from her hair!
Rogue - Amcpens subtly aims his spitshooter at Rozy and fires a small projectile. The spitwad almost seems to curve to hit her on the side of the head. Where did that come from?
Wizard - There is a small bang as Amcpens fires a frozen projectile at Rozy. The frozen spitwad bounces off her head and shatters as it hits the ground.
Sorcerer - With a sly grin Amcpens blows through his spitshooter and fires at Rozy. A geene tinted spitwad strikes her in the cheek. Better not think about why it's green.
Empath - Amcpens smiles as he fires a projectile at Rozy. The spitwad strikes her near the top of her head. Get a bandage, there might be a bruise.
Bard - With great flourish Amcpens plays a little tune on his flute. No, wait, that's a spitshooter! A good shot strikes Rozy in the ear.
Ranger - Amcpens fires a dart from his spitshooter right at Rozy. That's not a dart, it's a spitwad. Now it's stuck in her hair.
Paladin - Amcpens harumps loudly to get Rozy's attention before firing a spitwad in her direction. A hard strike to the center of her forehead. That could leave a mark.
Monk - Amcpens rolls forward and quickly fires a spitwad at Rozy before jumping back out of her line of sight. A spitwad right between the eyes leaves her looking a little crosseyed.
Savant - Amcpens fires a tremedous spitwad at rozy! Waves of energy emanate from the impact that drives Rozy to the ground. Excessive bleeding erupts from her temple as the spitwad penetrates to the bone, resulting in a slow ugly death.

The spitballer could be made from a hollow reed that is part of the foraging system.
Tiny spitballs could sting a little when they hit the target and bounce off.
Large ones could dissolve into a glob of wet goo that sticks to the target when lobbed.
A miss could be instead of launching the a spitball you dribble down your chin.

Creating the spitball device. (Rolled up scroll? Piece of note paper? Whatever, just give us some messaging on how to make it!)
With a furrowed brow, you cautiously roll a sheet of waxed parchment into a seemingly perfectly straight tube.
A method of loading multiple spitballs at once.
You raise your cupped hand to your tube and pour in a number of spittballs.
An unfortunate event that might cause stored spitballs to be lost.
The spitball gradually disintegrates into a mess of gooey paper.
A wild shot that was! The spitball is lost in the environs.
You accidentally inhale the spitball in preparation of what would of been a doozy of a shot.
You cough violently trying to regurgitate the spitball.
roundtime.3
A feature line for spitballs currently stuck to a player.
You see a dried clump of spitballs on Solomon's face.
Extra fluff verbs to go with such a wondrous magical artifact as the spitball shooter.
You deftly spin your waxed parchment tube between your fingers.

Making a spitball launcher - Dark Arts Style
With two quick snaps, Vorks breaks the ends off of his bleached rat femur and carefully hollows out the last of the marrow, cleaning it to a smooth finish of a <spitball launcher>.
And since I'm really a one trick (dwarven) pony...
Dwarf specific messaging
With no useful paper in sight, Vorks rummages through his beard for a wad of unidentified lint and quickly pops it into his mouth. After a few moments of grunting and chewing, he pulls a sopping lint spitball from his mouth and loads it into his <spitball launcher>.
Dwarf specific messaging
With no useful paper in sight, Vorks dislodges a pebble from the sole of his boot and quickly pops it into his mouth. After a few moments of grunting and crunching, he pulls a gritty sand spitball from his mouth and loads it into his <spitball launcher>.
Dwarf specific misfire
His mind obviously elsewhere, Vorks manages inhale rather than exhale into his <spitball launcher>. With a violent storm of coughs, grunts, and wheezes he manages to dislodge the spitball into the depths of his beard. Quickly reaching into his beard, he pulls out a seemingly much older spitball and loads it back into his <spitball launcher>.
Fluff Messaging
Vorks wedges the wet end of his <spitball launcher> under his armpit, drawing it out slowly to wipe away the excess spit.
Vorks idly sticks his <spitball launcher> in ear only to pull it out with a disappointed look on his face.

You consider the wide variety of artistic creations available to you in the medium of waxed vellum before finally settling on rolling it up into a long thin tube. You use the heat of your hands to melt the wax slightly, sealing the tube. Pretty good!

"How would a giantman warrior do a spitball for Koar's sake!?" -- Bessie
1) He picks up a Halfling.
2) He points the Halfling at the target.
3) He pinches the Halfling's tuckus and yells, "SPIT, yer 'orrible barstid, SPIT!"
Only hard part in the process is the very first step (not shown), "Preparing the spitball launcher." That is extremely time-consuming, what with the gestation period of Halflings and waiting for the little bugger to grow up to be big enough for its intended use.

>fold strip
Demonstrating clear precision in the art of paper folding, you fold the strip of vellum repeatedly to create the perfect square, before popping it into your mouth and chewing

With a jaunty tilt of the head and a soft exhalation, you blow the projectile towards {target}
Frenchy cocks his head and with a single puff of his cheeks, blows the contents of the scroll at {target}
Additional Action - just like an elf. We have to work to elven time. Now they teach us to suck eggs!
>talk scroll
You begin to demonstrate the best method of creating the perfect projectile.
With a series of hand gestures, Frenchy provides a detailed demonstration about how to create the perfect projectile. {elves}

YES. That's what I like to see: "You know it's a good design when" sort of feeling. Where's that dwarven discipline.
Incidentally, I only saw this thread today, clearly. Not that I'm the most regular forum browser. I do it once or twice a week usually, in spurts.
This needs to go in the official announcements though, if we're serious about a competition. And what's the deadline?! I'm sure I (and others who don't know about this yet) have all kinds of horrible stuff to still unleash!

Yeah okay, so I don't always read those, either. Grr. What's my excuse this time? Umm...nuclear physics summer school I'll go with!

>>Creating the spitball device. (Rolled up scroll? Piece of note paper? Whatever, just give us some messaging on how to make it!)
[ROLL MY SCROLL](checks spells on scroll) only works if the spell is level 1 - 3
you glance down at your scroll and stifle a snicker as you skillfully roll it into the form of a cone.
round time 3 seconds...
Frorin preoccupies himself with his scroll a grin creeping across his visage complimenting his mirthful expression.
glance
you see a cone shaped scroll in your left hand. and nothing in your right hand
[TURN MY SCROLL]
raising your scroll to your mouth you carefully trim the odd corner forming a perfected circular opening. You then proceed to roll the cone down to a slender narrow tube whilst masticating the leftovers into soppy ammunition.
*bonus feature, the spell on the scroll you use can imbue into the spitballs think of all the fun... miniature fireballs or sparks... defensive spells cast on target... spell folks up with spitballs.
>>An unfortunate event that might cause stored spitballs to be lost.
The thought of a slimy wad of paper sticking to <targets> forehead is enough to cause you to burst into laughter. Unfortunately your timing was off and now your airway is blocked by a large spitball! In a fit of coughing resembling the death throws of a goblin your ammunition is lost in the local environs leaving you feeling relief and disappointment at the same time.
I'll add more when I have some time.

Haha. You reminded me of something I was going to say. Someone suggested creating a tube and / or the spitball from a banknote. May want to ensure that any system implemented involving banknotes, checks that only notes / scrips for 1 coin are used. I have this image of someone using a note for 1 mil or more by mistake.
One expensive spitball there bub!
