'Metathesiophobia (noun) - The persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of change.'

enkindle with all due respect, I don't persistently say I'm against a change. For quite some time I have welcomed any change to our world and got on with it. Am I not allowed to have my own opinion on a suggestion? Nor do I fear change. There are many features I've seen in #DL that are already planned and will be implemented in the future. These changes are set to change the way our way of life dramatically from what I can see.

# Do I fear them?
No. I welcome them.

# Will I like them?
Who knows. I guess we'll see.

Just one question if you guys do plan to make this new channel and people obviously can join it to see. The question from me is.. will that channel have chat disabled so it's ONLY for those notifications? (I hope so).

Additionally I could go even further into metathesiophobia.. however I will allow others to find it should they care. However.. it's a completely incorrect statement towards me and I personally don't appreciate being called it either. I'll leave it there nonetheless as you probably didn't intent to offend me.

Get rid of the MafiaReturns bot all together. It is indeed a cool concept, but spoon feeding users just makes them weak. Yes, unfortunately, IRC has become synonymous with MafiaReturns the game. We do not need to drag is there any more. Make people log in and get truly involved if they want to stay informed. Having timers set to go off when you BGs/You are shot is just a cheap way to wake yourself up. No one here is psychic, and their characters shouldn't be either. If your that worried about it, wake up every few hours to check.

Make people work.

I definitely agree with removing MIA/RIA's OBIT:'s from #divinelunacy.

As far as removing all OBIT:'s completely. How many people will get bored of keep logging in to check on things, and just slowly drift away because they are being made to log in every few hours? Just like they haven't made credits a compulsory currency, but it gives an advantage to those who buy them, IRC is not compulsory, but it gives an advantage to those who use it.

I don't think you should take away one of the advantages just because you feel people need to be made to log in.

On a personal side, I wouldn't mind them all being taken away, and maybe just having Made Man+ OBIT:'s feature in #divinelunacy. This could be a good middle ground for both sets of people.

As far as the original suggestion goes though, I'm all for it, so I'll sponsor it.

Oh this, this, so much this. The worst is when you're using mibbit someplace you don't have a client because it's right now again telling me that people have said things, but I know when I click the stupid tab it's going to be OBIT: A thing made to die has died. For the ten millionth time today. Right now I think #divinelunacy kind of is the other channel being suggested for the bot to function as it normally does. You're talking around what is essentially spam so I think people talk less. The game's main channel shouldn't be something people are ignoring.

The Obit notifications is exactly the reason I never log into #dl

Remove all notifications (including who wins a credit for tweets or voting etc) from IRC!!

(worst case keep sponsored members still in #dl or at least their family chat room)

Might I propose a compromise here? Instead of removing the notifications, why not change them to actual notifications that you can opt into or out of? Could do this with anything, and keep the PUBLIC notices of things like credits on FB and things from the game for advertising purposes or "Get you interested" purposes?

By providing a list of names to send the notice to.

That is much more complicated than just putting them in another channel. Also it'd block people from the notifications they do want from the bot, such as Durdens and Credit giveaways. It'd be a lot easier to just make the bot not announce MIA/RIA deaths in #divinelunacy, and then if there is demand have a bot that does in like #RIPMIAs or something.

I 100% support this decision. I feel that it will make #dl notifications become more exciting, rather than redundant. There really isn't much else to say about it, so I'll just sponsor the idea to go to the PC. :)

Much like Patti said; I have no issue removing Obits for RIA/MIA as I feel they are pointless in that there is no reaction required from the userbase. Its not something that should prompt someone to do anything, so its not something they are required to be notified of. Durdens, FB stuff and Members of familys dieing all have an impact on someone.

This is a good idea - I'm not that big of a fan of seeing the RIA/MIA OBIT notifications myself.
