Here is the original suggestion.

A lot of people liked that with the old contacts you could see who had you in their contacts but we have not done that with the new system so that you can safely have your enemies as contacts as well. It had been suggested that each group could have a toggle to share it with those that are in it.

I would just do this but there are a few options on how to go about the display of who's lists you are on:

A) Simple list. Regardless of how many shared groups you are in per other person, it just shows you once, like the online list I suppose:

OtherPerson1, OtherPerson2, OtherPerson3.... etc

B) Table that shows what group(s) you are in as well as the styles:

OtherPerson1: *Losers
OtherPerson2: ~Peeps, $Crew, &LA
OtherPerson3: #I Hate These Guys
....etc

Keep in mind, you would be able easily to choose which groups other people can see themselves in.

I removed option C as obviously that would just be failing voting, what I would suggest is we try and decide which variation we want before it goes to the vote.

Seems cool with me. Definitely straightforward. Unless anyone else has any thoughts.

I'm not really sure that there's a need for people to know whose contacts they are in... maybe I am missing something here, but I really don't see how this would be a benefit or how it would positively impact the game.

What is the purpose of knowing who has added you as a contact?

Well, in the past, it was nice to see who had you as a contact. I definitely wouldn't want people to see what group I put them in... But it's usually a good way to find people if they've died or otherwise. 

You can currently add dead contacts to your contacts. I am with DeadlySin here, I don't really see the benefits of this change. It was coded with you not being able to see them now even though you could before for a reason obviously?

I think the only real reason is so when people die and return they tend to add you to their contacts, if this was visible to the person still alive it makes it easier to find them after they died.

If they are adding someone to their contacts after they die and come back, don't you think they would take the time to reach out to tell the person they are back? And if they haven't maybe there is a reason?

Some people will add all their known friends and not necessarily mail them if they are offline.

I would like to hear from the coders why this was intentionally left out before we vote to possibly reinstate it.

I personally think some people enjoy the aspect of being able to watch someone without them knowing, such as highlighting their name on the 60 seconds list. The art of surprise can be utilized by anyone and I am sure if it were a real life situation, if someone were watching you, you might be able to tell depending on how discreet they are.

This is why we have to give a little wiggle room for a game aspect I suppose :).

Unless anyone has anything to add, I'd like to set a vote time for this within the next 24 hours.

Although I seem to be in quite the minority here, considering how many other votes we've taken on introducing/modifying features to the contact list, including an option for shared groups and optional visibility, would, I believe, "complete" contacts, as quite frankly, past this feature, I don't see any other additions being actually helpful/necessary to the feature on the horizon.
