Just a game suggestion................ perhaps each person could be able to access their own statistics such as how man kills etc....... a number not a percentage.

ABSOLUTELY couldn't disagree more. MR as a game hand feeds us a lot of stuff already, i don't see why it would give us our "stats". There always should be an element of, "i wonder if i can hit", "i wonder how close i am to my next unit", if these questions didn't exists then the game would have no element of what if, which in my opinion is something that we need to preserve, best we can.

Were kills are concerned, you can just count your own kills, you can keep track of them through gdocs sheets, archiving them or just simply counting them from your personals. we can and do work our "%" out, by using an effective gun stat, we also know what gun can kill what, to a best count, this was done from a user base informed count, simply from experience, which is the way it has to be.

Bump

Great addition should Admin decide to call this in. But the cons is it'll make this game easier to play,cause the data itself will provide a massive inbalance if you are true Mafioso. Also will take the mystery out of this game and no risk imply. Where the fun of it?

I agree with Discos. There are ways to keep track of things. This was always a game that tries to keep things mysterious. The "what ifs" that were mentioned earlier.

It's not so much that I disagree with the suggestion, but I can tell you it isn't happening. The staff of MR have already let us know of this in other places.

No. Flat out, full stop no. Not now. Not ever. Not happening. No.

I know there's the statement "there are no dumb ideas" but that's wrong. This is a dumb idea, and should never eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever happen. You can already figure out almost everything there is to know with spreadsheets, math, and time. Having the game just hand you that information would be beyond the limit of what should be acceptable.

Ummm.... Is there really a need to call an idea dumb? I don't think the idea is dumb at all. I expressed that I disagreed with it, but there are plenty of games out there that let you see your own stats and I believe it works well for them. Of course, we have a different style so I wouldn't want people to see their own stats.

So, I agree that it should "never eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever happen" but I don't think we need to go as far as calling ideas "dumb".

I would support if it give us the ability to see how long till we ranked, but for stats and kill ..Hmm No?

Well, we already have a pretty good approximation to knowing when we are going to rank. Let's call it 20% jumps. Every time you go up a unit, you know you earned another 20% towards your next rank.

I do believe it was only a suggestion, so utter rudeness isnt really necessary. For new players when asked what are your answers? how many BG's have you killed? how many of this have you killed? it would be easier for them to find this out especially if they are not told they need to keep record.

"Ummm.... Is there really a need to call an idea dumb?"

If it's a dumb idea? Yes. Yes it is.

"how many BG's have you killed? how many of this have you killed?"

If you don't know the answers to these questions, it is, quite frankly, your own fault. You either delete the personals, or don't know how to look at your achievements - which tells you right there.

And answers should NEVER be publicly accessible. Do people know what answers give what? Yes. But that's through hard work and trial and error. Just signing up and saying "Lolz I want to shoot" takes away from the character creation aspect of the game.

Again, no need to insult other people's idea just because they come from a different way of thinking and playing.

Insisting that you have the right to call an idea dumb "if it's dumb" only cements your *unnecessary* rudeness.

The "never eeeeever" part was emphatic enough. I'm just suggesting we avoid the insults.

If we don't call dumb suggestions dumb, how will people learn and stop making dumb suggestions?

It's not "unnecessary" rudeness - it's a public service.

A public service? Heh.

Calling ideas Dumb is considerd bashing in my opinion. You can constructively tell them why you feel their viewpoint is wrong and that the idea has no merit, but dumb? Pointless put down that only serves to make you look bad. Absolutely no need to have a good at the person making the suggestion just because you disagree with it.

I agree whole heartedly with Shepard's stance, though. Never in a million years would I want this in place for the same reason as others have stated. But it was still a valid suggestion, just because I and others disagree with it, doesn't mean the person posting it should feel bad for suggesting it.

May I clarify why I (Kalliope), brought up this suggestion. At the time, I had been playing for a month, a complete noob. I was extremely overwhelmed with the amount of information there was to read, and no I didnt want to just go "Lolz I wanna shoot someone", I wanted to learn the game. I maxed my gun the same way everyone else did, but no-one told me from the beginning that I was supposed to keep a record, so yes I deleted my personals etc. So when I was asked the questions mentioned above, I had no idea of what the answers to those questions were. Am I dumb? (I know I was not called "Dumb") No far from, I'm actually very intelligent, but with so much to know and learn for a beginner, is very daunting, especially when you find out you deleted important information and hence a question like the one that I asked is presented. Now having learnt so much through great people I dont often ask "dumb" questions anymore, but I wonder how many beginners have not been taught the ways of MR and are making the early mistakes that I had. I would also like to add, if someone does not ask (regardless of how "dumb" a question may seem to someone else) you will never learn, and for those who dare desicrate the yearning for knowledge and growth, then you are truly an ignorant person who is extremely judgemental and rude, EVERYONE has the right to ask a question, You are MORE Dumb if you dont ask!!

No..Not happening, not a chance in a million years. Full stop

I've been playing this for a very long time, getting myself fitted with this condition . From my point of view, admin wont change this cause it is what make your game time really,had they change this the user activities will drop knowing they dont need to work hard because the data itself were there, besides you will kill one/two job in the family

Being that this is the suggestions forum, and in consequence an OOC place, I am really sad and ashamed to have to witness such display of disdain by people who feel superior to others just because they've been places longer.

And even if they feel superior because they are better players, that still makes the community as a whole look bad when we use the SUGGESTIONS forum to be smart asses with newer players.

Pay no mind to Shepard Valentine. I think he has a school-yard crush on you. Next thing you know, he'll be telling everyone you have cooties. Then it will evolve to punching you on the arm and running away. When he grows up he should grow out of it.

You go right ahead and suggest anything you want. This is, after all the "Game Suggestions" forum.
