Suggestion talk:20070616 Fort Revision: dumping bodies over walls

Complexity?

Ok, how is this complicated? You can dump a body out of the fort for 10 AP. You can jump off the walls and die if you are a survivor. You can't climb fort walls from outside. It's realy not rocket science.--Seventythree 12:56, 17 June 2007 (BST)

I dunno. I probably have a way of making things seem more complicated than they are by explaining them in to much detail and in multiple different ways. Although you did miss the monor point that you can move onto (but not between) fort squares from outside the fort (remaining outside the fort) from locations other than the gatehouse. See, I did it again. 13:06, 17 June 2007 (BST)

What i've learnt is that the best policy is to state the basics of the suggestion in the intro paragraph, have the desrcription and the technincal stuff and then end with the basics again. Oh yeah, and anything important highlight in bold like this, because the amount of people who have voted kill for a reason that makes no sense if they had read the suggestion and then don't have the common courtsey to remove the kill vote after you point this out to them is driving me mad! But I'm sure you know all this already, just wanted to let off a little steam. I do try to be reasonable, but willfull ignorance jsut gets to me.--Seventythree 13:12, 17 June 2007 (BST)

Seventythree is right, if you go much over a paragraph or it looks like a lot of reading people won't read it and will just vote complicated. Personally though I feel forts are meant to be zombie malls. Leave them as is the inability to dump bodies encourages that belief. Oh and you'd be surprised how many people it seems don't read the talk page for a suggestion.--karek 20:36, 17 June 2007 (BST)
