This is a very simple suggesstion which involved being able to send OC invites to people that still have time on their felony. The invited person does not receive the invite until their timer is up, it just means the person running the OC does not have to catch everyone at the split second between felonies.

It was then suggested that you would have to manually invite people, and that this particular invitation method would only be available when inviting your family and city members.

This is an interesting one, I think. I do like the feature with the obligation of manual invite, and I like the fact that, as someone said, it makes things more 'organised'. It also makes more sense to me that this would be limited to family and city members, though I do see communication and OCs with other city members as a positive thing.

I know a lot of people are generally against anything that makes the OC process easier, but to be honest, I don't see this idea as having any substantial flaw; it merely makes it easier to see and contact those within your own family and city. Stands to reason, really.

I'll put more thought into this, but as of now, I see no issues and will probably be happy to give it my vote when the time comes.

I really don't understand why this needs to be limited to family and city members only. What is the point then? People do OC's outside of their cities all the time and its just as hard to catch those people to do one. If it's a privacy issue, those that don't want to be invited and earn free money because they don't want to be seen have the option to turn off OC invites.

The reason it should be limited to family members is because people won't go around with it turned OC invites turned off until a war breaks out with leaves them vulnerable to being found during preparation for a war.

I think this idea maybe a moot point if Enkindle's suggestion gets voted through.

I wouldn't support it as city only, too inclusive and you already have family and city chat to do what this could do.

Yeah city would be preferable to family and should be code able as OC's check for home city as it is.

So are we going to vote on this as city and family only?

I don't see why this has to be city only when there's a toggle in the first place...

I don't either. I would rather not see it city/family inclusive. Stealth people have options to keep themselves from being seen if they are THAT concerned about it. I just want to get this to a vote.

Maybe the OC availabilty option should have a suboption to make it so a person is only available to city/family... so that can help keep stealth people happy.

Then the actual suggestion can just be whatever... 

Because Whitey the toggle is only ever used once a war starts not on the run up to a war where people could be using to check locals for certain people, and I know for a fact this has been done before.

I feel like we are having the same discussion in two different threads at the moment...

This idea sounds almost identical to the OC invite list improvements, and basically does the same thing (or creates the same arguments and debates)

Flash, I think you may have misunderstood in that Whitey was suggesting maybe there also be a toggle for people to choose to only be invited by family/city members, along with the toggle to completely turn off OC's altogether.

Pratster, you're right, the same debate is going on. I don't feel like a sacrifice for a feature should be made based on a very small percentage of the users, when that suggestions benefits the site as a whole and promotes more interaction among all players. Stealth people can still be found by tossing jails, we don't change that to be compliant for them, I don't think this should be altered either when there is a way for them to avoid it.

As I stated before... if you put in a suboption on the options page that limits your OC invites to only city and family, then no one can complain... and it's probably not too hard to do. It would fix the issue for both suggestions. 

I think those are both great ideas Enkindle and would sure save a lot of headaches with the stealth issue, although maybe it could be city rather than crew?

Chaps.


Currently doesnt doing an OC already add time to your felony timer if you felony after accepting an OC invite.


This seems very much like a no brainer to me.

As for the time can we do 7.5 mins IE half a felony time!!

Other than that I feel we are close to getting a vote on this bad boy!!
