20100525 Zombie names appear to zombies, human names do not appear to zombies

Suggestion type
General Mechanics

Suggestion scope
Affects zombie mechanics, but will definitely also affect humans

Suggestion description
I suggest that the user names of zombies be visible to other zombies and the usernames of humans be invisible to zombies. Just like humans cannot tell who zombies are, this would make it so that the zombies can't tell who the humans are; zombies would just see "a human". Zombies are a force in search of braaaaaains, and should not be allowed to see whose braaaaaains they are chewing. This would help improve zombie force coordination, and stop hoards of zombies from being jerks to people they dislike. This is a simple thing to do that could help improve certain game mechanics. I realize that this would be a big change, and would require testing prior to being put in place, but this was actually originally how I thought it would work. The biggest hole I can see is not that it would cause permanent imbalance, but that it might be too big a change in how the system works (i.e. if the game had started this way, it would be good, but changing it may lead to big problems). This is why I definitely think that testing would be a necessity.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - As the creator of this suggestion I obviously think that this should at least be tested. Gmanyo 15:23, 25 May 2010 (BST) Yeah, okay, this wouldn't work. Thanks for reading! Gmanyo 01:46, 26 May 2010 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill. Simply no. It is zombies that should be faceless, not humans. Several groups, such as the MOB and Ridleybank Resistance Front do what they do by coordinating attacks and targeting specific humans. Your suggestion would completely unbalance the game and remove the ability to cordinate, further unbalancing the game in favor of humans. I have no choice but to say kill.

2. kill at the very least this would require contact listed players to still be named and a new mechanism for zombies to add harmanz to those contact lists... that of course would also defeat the point of the suggestion. --Honestmistake 16:43, 25 May 2010 (BST)

6. Spam - As above. If this had gone through DevSug, you would have known better than to even bring this here. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:30, 26 May 2010 (BST)
