Not everyone is going to agree with you and give this idea a thumbs up, AnthonyRedux, asking for peoples posts to be deleted just because they disagree isn't really the way to go. If you can prove him wrong in his opinions, feel free to do so without getting mad because he doesn't agree with you.

As far as this idea goes, I'm not sure why it would be needed, it takes but a few clicks to sign up a new char, people will suicide regardless of the feature you're suggesting, as majority will do so just to mail, post, or to do whatever is needed to find out why they died or to help their city if they are at war. And if this feature is taken into consideration then there should be no locals viewing, if they are not "playing" the game then there is no reason for them to know who is in the city at all.

Except his entire post is a glaring example of poor reading comprehension. I also refuse to debate a childish reply containing such gems as "stupid and serious really?" . The kid must be 14. The only thing I find more disturbing than his post and mob mails to me, is the support he appears to have from a city I gave stellar service too. Well done Gents.

I support the fact that he has every right to disagree with you if he doesn't like the game suggestion, and even though he gave you a proper reply to your spam post you yet again asked for it to be deleted and called him a moron, yet your own reply doesn't seem to be as disturbing to you as his own? Rather than stooping to the so called childish level of replies, why did you not just give him a reason to change his mind with a proper reply?

Well done indeed.

The real question is why is he not required to reply in the same manner you seem to hold me to dear Ricketts. I am being lectured on OOC vs in game crap and so far the only people, mixing up the two, are the original moron and some NY'ers. How is his original reply not spam? He didnt even argue the salient points, its not like we need to RP...you know what, anyone should be able to identify his original reply as comabtive and adding nothing of value to the suggestion. My reply addressed his child like post. Instead of an admin coming by and correcting me I get New Yorkers defending a guy calling me a cock in mob mails.

Again I say, well done.

Anthony, nobody from NY is condoning his actions, or supporting his behaviour. Please stop creating your own imaginative scenarios and depicting us as the bad guys. His posts were not spam, they disagreed with a suggestion, if you can not handle criticism, I suggest you don't post suggestions anymore.

I would appreciate it if you would stop calling the guy a moron, he is not moronic, he has given his opinion. We are all entitled to our opinions. He is, you are, I am and so is Ricketts. There is no need to start name calling (I am aware he has done so too, and I don't support or defend that action of his)

I hope this clears your confusion up.

Oh and back to the straw man, I am not mad about him disagreeing with me Ricketts. I got mad when he mob mailed a capo in game named AnthonyRedux and called him a cock. This not after my second reply, but after my first. I am surprised that someone was allowed to get away with that. To be sure, Redux was angry, but if this keeps up he just might end up in a blind rage. Is that what this idiot who carries your name is really up to Ricketts? You can tell me, this is all OOC after all.

Hey Sammy, stay out of it will ya. Unless you want to adress the in game part. The guy is a moron, look at this post, it is written so poorly it didnt deserve much more than a delete. And I think he is a moron, just with connections.

Since you clearly have missed something vital, I shall point it out. The game suggestion area is not your city. Its a place where the players behind the characers can make suggestions or debate them. City connections mean NOTHING here. To think that someone who resides in the same city as you should back up your suggestion or argue agianst someone else who believes it is a bad suggestion is moronic on all levels.

Yo, you fail at reading comprehension. That is all.

I think death is meant to be a harsh and bleak dead end. I like the idea that you literally have one dreary screen to look at once you die. It's more realistic that way.

I do see the practicality of having some read only access though. That's not to say I agree with it. I think it lessens the impact and in-game isolation that death would otherwise bring.

The ghost feature understood as a dead account having access to (and only to):
- viewing the forums (in read-only mode)
- viewing the obits (in read-only mode)
- a link to the chat
is something I wouldn't mind seeing introduced.

However, right now I don't see many advantages of this feature over simply creating a new character.
The reasons posted so far do not convince me this feature is a necessity and crucial enough to spend coding time on now.

For this moment, I'm not sponsoring it, but I will watch this thread and wait for more convincing arguments.

This could cut down on the people who create accounts just to watch/keep up with the war and then suiciding right after. I like the idea.

When you're dead, you're dead.

If you want to know what happened, sign back up and find out.

I don't think any of the arguments provided merit this having coding time devoted to it.

I would be interested to know how feasible this is on an effort:result basis.

As Tosca has pointed out I like the idea of a limited access after you are dead and in having this it would save a hell of a lot of dumb accounts where people sign back up on the 1's in detroit on a dumb name and then have to suicide to start back.

I will keep an eye on this and hopefully get some info back on the coding side.

After some additional thought on the possible game effects I would like to point out that this feature could also save the occasional lost inheritance. Those extra few grand do matter when you start out and some folks, trying to stay incog, lose that money if they use a temp character. On the other side of the coin, it has probably been a money drain, although with those small amounts who knows how much.

Brucie's point Is a true one for me. That said, Most folks have cash saved in credits these days so it may not be a big difference.

I just thought of another feature that could make this more desirable.

Access to:

Your old Personals

Your old mails

Your achievements

It just sucks when you die and you dont have certain things saved elsewhere... 

That being said Whitey, although I agree with you, mails could not be sent in the afterlife. Although I'm sure that's what you meant, just wanted to clear it up for others.
