Today while in my city on Starsider i came across a house that has a really neat looking TV in it using the painting of Endor Landscape.It's pretty much just for looks untill it hit me,why not have a droid hide in it and pretend to BE it and tell a story.In Episode 6 3-CPO Was telling the Ewoks a story on Endor,why cant our droids?
Lets have a new moduel that will allow the droid to tell a story.Possibly 5-10K Char's long.Ive always thought there needed to be some sort of in game chip that we could right books or maybe even newspapers on.

Something along these lines has been brought up before, through the use of the personality chips.
The issue that was pointed out by the DEVs is two-fold.
One of spam and one of language filters.
Spam is a big concern to many people, especially after the Merchant module was released. The Merchant droid is the only 'legit' way of creating message spam in the game. A droid that would tell a story could easily be used as a tool for spamming cities and griefing others.
The language filter falls under the same issue. There may be a language filter option in settings, but does not give anyone the right to create text that could be contain messages that could offender others. This is a similar issue to the spam issue, but can be a lot more problematic in a 'family' based game environment.
As for the creating a form of text chip, this is something thatI, and many others, brought up a long time ago.
The idea that I had was a Artisan craftable item that could be loaded into an Architect built console, which allowed you to type up text and have it listed on the console for anyone to read. You would also be able to keep in game journals and would be a really great RPing tool for Imperial/Rebel events. Maybe, some day something like it will come to a TC near you.......
