Search Other function

Post by provo »

Just thinking we might need to check players to see if they have weapons, or stolen items.

It would be good to click and seach them, see what they have on them.

Maybe make it a crime if it not consensual.

And allow for pickpocketting in the future.

Haha I can imagine people shouting "stay away from me!" with paranoia. Still I agree with this idea, cant wait for the first totalitarian state to appear in game ;).

Just make a huge kiln wall around the ring with enough room to build and with time you'd have plenty of residents.

So as to avoid derailing this thread I'd like to suggest that you can see a more detailed view of what the person has equiped when searching them.

Ferinex, you think nobody will live there but people will just for the fun, and experience. As it is you have tons of loose settlements and such, with no interesting player run governments to serve under.

Roleplayers would flock to totilarian settlement, and so would fighters who are looking for a place, and reason to carve other people up and have fun as a group doing it.

But you're wrong.

A) We have very few roleplayers.
B) We have very few players.
C) If players were forced to live in a society where they could not do anything or have fun, they would stop playing. The game stops being a game.

Also The Game.

Because being searched for weapons and stolen good is exactly the same as not having fun I only play this game so i can carry a concealed weapon

And a body search is a direct lead to totalitarian rule...... Did you Hilter searched for something once....

Every time you go to the airport and go throught the xray democracy dies alittle...

Well, if you don't like being searched, you can always just not allow yourself to be searched. If they don't like it, and you're stronger than they are, it sucks to be them.

Hitler Reference, like we haven't seen that before. ¬¬

That and a couple of your sperm cells if you're male. And your mood if you're actually trying to board the plane. On the other hand, if you'd prefer to risk becoming the next martyr, be my guest.
You see a masterful engraving by Blaze. On it is Blaze, bears, boars, and foxes. Blaze is striking down the bears. The boars are screaming. The foxes are in a fetal position. The image relates to the return of Blaze in the late winter of 2009.

two on-topic posts... wow, great job everybody. Keep this up and we'll be able to make a thread where not even the OP is on topic.

I for one think the idea makes a lot of sense, so long as things can't be taken without a separate "pickpocket" skill.
Surprise.
