Ignore function: If you can't hear them, then they can't hear you.
« on: September 04, 2007, 09:32:06 pm »
I'm still thinking about this one, but I think it would have interesting consequences.  Basically:  If you add someone to your ignore list, in addition to not hearing them, they won't be able to hear you either.

I can think of a few positives for this but I'd like to test the water first.

Good idea. Be great if you didn't have to SEE them, or them see you, as well.

True true

But what if You and your (not ignored) friend where talking then a person (on your Ignored list) came along, he/she would think your friend is crazy talking to him/her self  :P

I like this.  After ignoring someone, they can still harass you by walking through your character or jumping on you.  If you're invisible to one another, not only can they not do this, but they can't follow you around period.

I think you all are missing the point of what is considered a Massive Multiplayer On-line game. Tough it out or leave or ask the authorities(GMs) to look into the matter.

On the other hand, if you want to go ahead with tis rediculous idea. Here's asuggestion, have  a general ignore toggle for ON or OFF, when ON you will start to ingore everyhting with in the game. All the NPC, the rest of the PCs, etc. In the same list you can have the names of people you don't ignore and they to have toggle their ignore switch in order for you and them to see one another. And the catch is, to turn it OFF you have to wait a week RL for the effect to ware off, that way you just can't blink in and out randomly on a whim and with the consequence of not having any other interaction with in the game except for the others that decided to join you in the retreat, a weeks worth to contemplate the issue is a good preventive measure for the unsocial craving a time out. No skills, no quests, and no other interactions but a weeks sabbatical from playing the game with out actually leaving the game, a time worth of  RP-chatting with close friends in a desolate but uninterupted 3D environment.

Or wait till you can buy you own house and give keys out to just your friends..


An other negative, What if you are spying on me or my guild, I can just force you to give up by placing you on my ignore list, thus disallowing you the abilities in which spying relies upon. If you want to ignore someone go right ahead but don't force it up on others.

Oh that would be fun, you ignored someone, and that someone somehow got key to your guild house. Is there inside, stealing your stuff, but you can't know, coz you don't see him ;P
Haha.

Anything you leave on the ground is up for grabs according to the player's handbook.  It sucks, but it's the way things are at present.  Besides, if they get a key to your guild house...

Several... why??? You want me to score you up with one?.. You know, I have serval connections.. I can get you an "online game" that will meet all your expectations.. And then some.. just slip me the cash and I'll hook you up... Not out in the open! Damn it! in your palm for crying out loud.. haven't you don't this before??  ... ... ...  Oh jeese, silly me, this is your first time?.. Sorry dude.. As I was saying, fork over the cash and one of these fine "on-line games" will be yours for the month..

Its almost like that Monty P(y)thon skit, where Eric Idol asks and insinuates sexual innuendos to Terry Jones just to terminate with the question "How's it(sex) done?" ... SO listen, if you are asking me for "A guild to getting it on"-line, do us both a favor buy yourself a copy of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1885535678 and leave me out of it.

I honestly don't see the point of them not hearing you ...

And if someone keeps irritating you after you /ignored them by jumping through you the whole time ... /petition.

I believe we should deal with what world bring to us and avoid /ignore as much as possible.
But yeah, these jumping noob are annoying. But from other side we should have some IC means to deal with them... maybe one day.
And there is also a point about educating... I don't think we need the /ignore to be so strong.

I've done that often, but it usually takes a while for a GM to respond, and by then it's too late because the GMs can't do anything unless they witness the offense in action.

Wishful thinking.

I am strongly against IC actions for OOC problems.

If you won't educate, but /ignore, what won't stop others from doing the same?And you will end with game with more OOCers than ICers.

Are you saying it's my duty to "educate" people who wish only to disrupt and harrass the players of Planeshift?

Figure out ;P I'm not forcing you to anything ;P

I'm just saying to not be so harch.
