Whitey, people have expressed their reasons why they feel that stealth is compromised by this change. Is it really so "silly" to work the change in a manner that doesn't negatively affect people? I don't think it is.

Personally, I don't use stealth so it has no bearing on me, but we aren't here to think of ourselves, there are a great many users on stealth that would be, for want of a better phrase, at risk, because of this change.

You cite "at war" as part of the scenario, but its not the during war phase thats really the concern, its people pre-planning a way and attempting to gain locals on targets. Should this stealthy person always leave their OC toggled off so that they would remain hidden from those outwith their family? Seems a tad unfair for someone to need to cost themselves potential earnings simply because a change was brought in to make Organised Crime easier, wouldn't you say so?

I dont mean any of this as a personal attack on you Whitey, but the manner of your critique there meant that I really felt there was no other way to respond to show why the sillyness is important to me.

its people pre-planning a way

Pre planning a war, I meant.

I explained why I think It's silly though.

It is a one in a million type of thing.

If their toggle isn't on - people are going to see them when their felony is up anyway, right?

They really shouldn't have to miss out on all oc's when a toggle for crew is not that hard to include.

Exactly, I would rather not get bogged down in semantics though, unless there is a viable reason for not including the toggle then I suggest it is the most viable way to keep this change without making any negative affects to those on stealth.

Of course people are free to offer another alternative to allow the idea to be created without having the above mentioned impacts that don't preclude people from being open to any OCs.
