I was thinking that when a player (not IA\RIA) dies, that they show up red in the online list for 5-10 minutes. A dead character would show regardless of their activity time or if they were logged in when they died.

I think this would be fun during the first wave of wars and be cool in general.

Personally I would like it if they went red when they logged in for the first time.

My concern with showing red on the online list straight away is that it alerts people immediately, as with the hated IRC notifications, rather than making them check for themselves and potentially allowing a kill to go under the radar at least for awhile.

I agree with Grin, I like the sneakyness of pulling off a kill unnoticed. Though I know IRC already has the Obit feature, but thats an argument for another place.

I like this idea.. Maybe there could be a 30 second delay? I mean if no one noticed a high profile death for more than thirty seconds I'd be shocked... even if you dont open the obits there are always people in divinelunacy, It's not like it's a secret..

The delay would be fine.

With a 30 second delay, I would definitely be in support of this.

I also agree that it would be cool to see when a war breaks out, just how much red is in the list.

10 minutes sounds a bit long though, if it was the lower end of your range, at 5, I think it'd be alright.

I'm cool with the delay. Makes sense. As for the duration, I think 10 would be cool, getting to see the full first wave of a war up. But if it did wind up too much, it could easily be reduced.

Report Post Tip

I like this idea.

If you are sat on IRC then you see people dying instantly, however those in game have to be sat refreshing the obits to even know.

I will support this but would prefer instant death showing.

It used to be this way before on the old .org. Would love to see this again. It would help those who do not use the coffeeshops be able to see instantly if their is a war kicking off.

Thumbs up.

Report Post Tip

Keep in mind, I intend this to be players and Durdens only. Maybe CA's if you guys want. MIA\RIA won't be included. That would be constant and annoying clutter.

El_Nino, do you have a reason for preferring instant or do you just think you would like that more?

Report Post Tip

Enkindle the information is available already to anyone sat in #divinelunacy without them having to check any where.

Why should it not be available to the whole game without them having to check any where?

Report Post Tip

El Nino, fair logic.
