Wow, awesome change this.

The only bad thing with this is not seeing DMs. Otherwise, it is good.

I'd like to add, while I'm still very much in favor of this, I do hope DM's don't use it as an excuse to avoid requests, thinking "hey, they don't know I'm here." I'm sure its annoying when PC's are trying to contact you while you're running something else, but I can say its just as annoying from the other side, when you are trying to find a DM and can't.

In the end, it adds way more then it subtracts, but I have a strong feeling that a lot of people are going to end up getting ignored (especially jerks like me) because DM's are doing there own thing with other players.

For PvP I really enjoy knowing if there is a DM on. PvP is top priority for a DMs time anyways but knowing there is one about can save valuable time before the throwdown - the best type of PVP - that stems naturally out of a situation. Also, in the case of questionable DM behaviour (rare) knowing the DMs involved is important (to me atleast.) Transparency has always been a part of EFU. Why object to that now? Being bombarded with requests is not a bad thing. We understand DM limits, but having that extra channel of communication /is/ important.

Please do not be concerned about any perceived inability for us to monitor our own staff. We keep logs of DM activity (most notably DM chat and DM login/logout) over very long periods of time, just as we keep logs of player activity.

In the unlikely event that there is an issue with a DM, and there is a specific event to which the DM can be attributed, it would a trivial task to extract the identity of that DM from the logs.

We fully encourage any of you with such concerns regarding specific occurrences of DM misconduct to contact a member of EfUA staff at your leisure.

There is a special file for Johannes, too.

Steal a script that removes names over character heads next.

ExileStrife · January 15, 2009, 04:38:22 AM

I have been trying to, honestly.

Someday....maybe soon...maybe not...

This sounds good in theory, but with NWN's limited character heads and bodies, it would make it impossible to recognise people you SHOULD know from others with similar heads, etc. I'm not sure what the solution is, really. :???:

Steal a LetoScript that allows a player or a DM to change their name/description, for disguises IG, IMO.

core · January 15, 2009, 05:08:32 AM

Would probably be abused, sadly.

Equinox · January 15, 2009, 10:15:43 AM

easiest way imo. would be have a script that you can turn on that adds like {D} to the end of you your name or something. to show that you are in disguise? i dont know if this is possible. maybe a player tool?

Snoteye · January 15, 2009, 10:38:47 AM

That is not possible.

Get this back on topic or it will be locked.
