20080307 No Accidents Since

Anime Sucks 01:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion type
Flavor Improvement

Suggestion scope
All players via profile add-on

Suggestion description
This suggestion is quite simple, to add an additional box, or replace the "number of times died" box while alive with a "how long this survivor has been alive" box or something to that effect. The tally could be monitored in days. Such as "Less than a Day, 1 Day, 2 days.." ect...

I just think it would be interesting to see if we can implement a feature inside the profile to tell the viewer just how long a character has been alive (without idling out of course, as I think that should reset the time to zero), and would add flavor to the game without affecting mechanics gameplay.

Thanks for giving this your consideration. :)

Keep Votes

1. Keep SOUNDS good I like IT --The1doctor 09:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
2. Keep Author Keep --Anime Sucks 01:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
3. Keep - I like this idea! survival contests anyone? :D --Ropponmatsu 01:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
4. Keep - Yarr!!! --Banana reads Scoundrell for all of Yesterday's News, Today! 01:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
5. Keep - Sounds awesome. It could allow lots of other in game competitions aswell.--Carnexhat 01:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
6. Keep/Change - Why not both? The number of deaths AND the longest living streak (without idling out) that a character's undergone. --Private Mark 03:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   It may have been vague, but I did intend to still have the number of deaths remain, it just shows one while you are alive, and other while you are dead or zombied--Anime Sucks 03:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

7. Keep - Yes! I think this is a fun idea. --Fifth Element 04:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
8. Keep Sounds like a fun meter. Maybe also have a "longest period without dying" score too, so your longest streak is saved. And idling out shouldn't set you to 0, just don't count that time. --Jon Pyre 05:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
9. Keep - I like this idea, it would be cool to see how long people have survived.--Jamie Cantwell3 05:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
10. Kill/Change - No target for my back, please. Keep the information secret and you've got a deal. (This is in the Keep section because I doubt Anime's the type to re-post a suggestion, and I like the general idea. If the milk turns out to be sour, he ain't the kind of pussy to drink it.) --Funt Solo ^QT 07:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
11. Keep/change - I like it, but it needs to be seceret, or at the very least seceret on toggle.--Seventythree^Talk 08:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
12. Keep/change - As 73.--Studoku 09:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
13. Keep- Absolutely nothing wrong with this suggestion, don't change a thing, we aren't all paranoid.--Karek^maps?! 10:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
14. Keep - I like it, toggle option would be nice, but even without it it's ok.--

15. Keep - After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that I don't really care one way or the other. - Headshot Hal 13:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
16. Keep - neat. - Dipcup 15:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
17. Keep - Anything for more numbers to measure my e-peen by.  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  16:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
18. Keep/Change - I like but perhaps a switch/toggle that lets the owner choose if this would be publicly visible --Rocky Road 17:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
19. Keep - Quite interesting. --ZsL 17:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
20. Anime - Can't go wrong with AS...--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 17:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
21. Keep - Bragging/PKing rights. --Heretic144 18:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
22. Keep - Great idea. It definately should be toggleable though. --Hhal 18:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
23. keep - like funt and 73, only if you have the option to turn it on/off --Scotw 20:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
24. Keep - It's kinda strange to have one without the other Torec _{T-CC/CS/CS/CS} 22:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
25. Keep - It's a good idea! H4ppy 24 7 22:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
26. Keep - Add the on/off switch and this is perfect. --FXI 23:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
27. Keep - It makes for additional competition and gives us long-time users something else to do. --Amanu Jaku 23:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
28. Keep - #1 Toggleable #2 If you time out, it becomes "For too long to remember". That makes it perfect. --BoboTalkClown 01:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
29. Keep - if nothing else, it's something for bragging rights, I like it. Tyler Rilm 01:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
30. Keep - For the naysayers, It wouldn't have anything to do with who I PK. I definitely prefer it to the death count.--KF 02:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
31. Keep' - i've been thinking this would be cool, WanYao's just a paranoid spoilsport.--xoxo 02:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
32. Keep I like this idea. Not really sure how this information could be damaging, but whatever. --Jellofun 14:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
33. Keep - I'd like to know. --Ciaran Deckardson 15:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
34. Kepp - I suppose it could be togglable, but I like the idea.-- Quizzical  Quiz  Speak  16:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
35. Keep - I see no problem with this suggestion as is. --_└^Frozen_┘^┌_Flame^┐ 01:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
36. Keep - A "length of time since killed by a zombie" stat running in parallel would reduce the PK problem mentioned by other voters. --Toejam 15:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
37. >Make sure it's toggable though.--ShadowScope 22:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
38. I like. --AXE HACK _TALK ^{Desu Nōto} _χIII ^{Everyday I'm Shufflin'!} 23:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
39. Obama - I refuse to justify my vote. --Karloth Vois ^RR 22:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
40. Hillary - See above. --_LH779 08:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
41. Keep - I like it, adds a new type of competitiveness. Realism could be based on freshness of wounds or scars or some sort of post-revivification symptoms (maybe you look greenish for a while after being revived). Also, realism arguments are super weak. Also, since when is a suggestion bad just for helping PK'ers? They're people too. TastyNougat 17:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

    I love you--Anime Sucks 17:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

42. Keep - I'm a meatpuppet! --Akule ^{School's in session.} 17:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
43. Keep - It works, if we've got boxes saying how many times a user has died, why should we not have a box that says how long a user has been alive? ----DevilAsh  ^{|  T  |  яя  |} 20:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
44. Keep – Sounds like fun. Also, I wish "First died" was still tracked... ah well, I'm sure there's a reason why not. ЯЭV⁠€⁠NΛИ† 09:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
45. Keep - It's logical and simple. I vote Keep!
46. Keep - Why not? Seems simple enough. Sheana ^{T / TMZ} 00:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
47. Keep - Me like it! --The Gecko PKer 02:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
48. Late Keep - Because I thought i already voted on this and because only chicken$#!7s will have a large number. - Pardus 08:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. kill - because i can think of some good reasons why that's nobody's business. --WanYao 01:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   like?--Anime Sucks 03:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   That's my business and no one else's ... ;P But... seriously... I can think of some reasons, and the very fact that I prefer not to share them proves my point. --WanYao 17:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

2. Kill - As Wan Yao. --Pdeq^Talk* 02:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   As Comment to Wan Yao--Anime Sucks 15:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   Just a little creepy that people could get info as to when I last idled out by way of this. I can't think of the reasons Wan Yao might be thinking of though. It's a weak kill, but still a kill. --Pdeq^Talk* 18:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   Just a note, people can tell when you idle out anyway if you are on their contacts list because your name will appear struck out. Example--Anime Sucks 22:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

3. Kill - Sort of just pointless, (except for Pkers 2 make you a target).. Sorry, I have no use for it and don't want it hanging over my head (I am happy to live as long as possible-anything getting in my way has to go!)--Airborne88^{T Zom MIS} 07:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
4. Kill - as Funt, but in Kill section --~~~~ [talk] 08:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
5. Kill - Unrealistic. How could you possibly tell? --Pgunn 10:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   How could you determine how many times has a zed been killed?--

   "How could you determine how many times has a zed been killed?" -winks to ZS- --Anime Sucks 17:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

6. Kill - Although I like the idea and prefer to vote Keep, it'd be abused by PKers as another reason to kill someone, the only reason I vote kill. I think they'd especially target newbies with this, from them "living too long", and that makes things worse.--Kolechovski 18:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   I can respect that argument, but noted that any self-respecting pker wouldn't target newbies to begin with.--Anime Sucks 22:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

7. Kill - Yeah, right. Totally unrealistic.--Luke Skywalker 20:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   You are arguing realism in a game that has name highlighters, homing beacons, pk lists, zerging, how many times a person has died, bringing people back to life, rampant murder, and panda rape? Oh... and we can't forget about the fact this game centers around zombies. Calculating how long someone has lived would be one of the more realistic features of the game. Give me a break Veers.--Anime Sucks 22:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

   0_o Who's Veers? ^_^ --Luke Skywalker 09:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

   bahaha yeah i was actually thinking it would be a useful tool against the finis zerg army.--xoxo 02:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Non author re -- boxy ^{talk • i} 04:45 8 March 2008 (BST)

8. Kill - Just another reason for PKers to target someone -- boxy ^{talk • i} 04:45 8 March 2008 (BST)
9. Change - Should only be visible to self. Otherwise as Boxy. -- John Rubin^{T! ZG} 22:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
10. Kill as Boxy--Corndoghero^T-S-Z 01:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

    The thing I'm worried about is the fact that people who idle out may in fact live the longest. Once you sort that out and make it toggable, I'll Keep it.--ShadowScope 02:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

    It is mentioned in the suggestion scope that idled out characters time alive would be reset to zero--Anime Sucks 02:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

    Done and done.--ShadowScope 22:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
