/ignore

[Leama]

I want to learn more about the ignore feature.

How does it work?

Does it work only in ‘tells’ or does it work when someone is standing right next to you?

How can a player know if they are on another person’s ignore list?

How can someone take a person off their ignore list? (let’s be friends again, yeah!)

Why do people use it in the first place?

If a problem does occur in game between two characters how can someone report them?

If a person is reported, what happens to that person?

A quick note from me, the little dramatic one, or so I have been told, I do think that this is a game and it is so sad to me that we cannot try to get along better. It is sad that the /ignore feature needs to be implemented at all. I still want to know how it works.

/ignore Indygo but only after I give him a hug.

* Leama laughs.

So tell me how this ignore thing works.

Type /ignore, then add the first name of the person you want to ignore.

Both.

They can't.

Type /ignore, then remove the name you want removed.

To ignore noobs that have a problem knowing when to stop.

Type /report <name>. You can also use a petition.

GMs will see a log of what they did and choose how to handle the problem.

If you want to try to make up with someone who is ignoring you, you could always sit around where they will see you with a book in front of you that has a personalized message as its title. /ignore only works with chat messages of whatever kind. You can still be seen. Maybe they can be shamed into taking you off their list. Of course that may end up with a GM telling you to pack it up and leave them alone and it is kind of an out of context thing to try. Then again /ignore is out of context too.

I've never actually used that command... I find that I'm quite capable of ignoring people in actuality, while using that command can cause problems if I have need to speak with them later... Just not worth the hassle.

The last time I used that command wasn't too long ago actually. There was a guy who challenged me to a duel inside Kada El's, which I accepted out of realisms sake. I then ran to the guards outside the tavern with the barfighter chasing me and reported him. Obviously the guy didn't care much about that and started whining about how I accepted a duel so I couldn't be mad at him for fighting ... so I used /ignore to pretend he was hauled off by the city guards and I could enjoy my roleplay in the tavern again. A while afterwards I removed him from the /ignore list. He threw me a party and all was good again

Anyway, what I'm saying is that I use the /ignore command in situations where people are bothering my roleplay because they don't understand the concept and refuse to leave me alone. It's never permanent with me though.

[Leama]

Excellent idea bibous.

How does a player know that someone has you on their ignore list other then they do not respond to you? It seems to me it would be hard to rectify a problem if you cannot talk it out. Becoming friends again could make for a great role play I think.

* Leama thinks I better check on Indygo next chance I get.

[Garile]

Well the ignore option is for those times when talking doesn't work anymore. Then ignoring often saves a whole lot of irritation. Only used ignore on like three people the whole time I've been here, but I was really glad I could use it those times I can tell you that.

That could work out, but /ignore is OOC. People use it to ignore annoying players, not friends. Besides, usually the kind of player people ignore is a stubborn noob who doesn't give a poo about roleplaying.

[Mordaan]

Haha.  A book with the title "Im Sorry!"?  Have books replaced pets as the new signposts?  I can see someone sitting with a book as a type of card board sign for begging.

[Raa]

Wait, you can change the titles of books? How?

[Suno_Regin]

Where it says "Blank book of Anarkia" (or whatever) at the top, just click that and you can change it. You have to be in the writing window though.

Have people been ignoring you again?

[Raa]

Perhaps, but that isn't any of your business.
