20090332 GPS Tags

--Luke Leimer 04:57, 31 March 2009 (BST)

Suggestion type
New action, possibly for vendettas

Suggestion scope
Survivors caused, Zeds affected

Suggestion description
When successfully extracting DNA, if survivor has a GPS unit, add an option to tag a zombie with a GPS tag. Tagging takes 1 AP. That zombie is added to a special section of the player's contacts. Displays the name, rot status or not, [x,y] block location, and tag number 1-5, if within NecroNet range. Else Display 'Out of Range.' If out of range question marks are displayed instead of a profile link. Each player can only have 5 active tags at once. Tagging with full tags, restarts at the top of the stack. Each tag is only active for 5 days. Afterwards, they are removed from the player's tags list, and a blank goes next to the inactive tag's number. A Zed can have more than one active tag in it at a time. Also, if you run across a zed you have tagged in which the tag is still active, your DNA extractor/GPS Unit will beep, but will only tell you the tag number (1-5). Feel free to add ideas.

Keep Votes

  1. Author Keep -Luke Leimer 04:57, 31 March 2009 (BST)


Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Zed tracking and possibly revivified human tracking? No thanks. --Bob Boberton TF / DW 05:29, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  2. Kill - Griefer tool. --Midianian¦T¦DS¦SP¦ 07:43, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  3. Strong Kill - As Bob and especially Mid. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:45, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  4. Kill - Highly disagree with but at the same time if this was to be implemented I would much suggest using the phone masts as a signal source this way to kind of even it up a bit. Rogueboy 14:59, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  5. Take it to Discussion - Can't vote for this as is, plus, you asked for input, and we're not *really* allowed to converse here. You want Developing Suggestions. ~ extropymine Talk | NW | 4Corners 16:05, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  6. Kill Seems really overpowered... and could definitely be abused by griefers, text rapists etc. My sympathy goes out to you though, as you have become the next victim of excessive and unnecessary spam votes. --ScaredPlayer 19:04, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  7. Kill - It is overpowered, and not a good idea in general due to the high possibility of griefing. --ZsL 19:25, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  8. Kill - Very overpowered, 5 days is a long time to be tracked, therefore griefing is a high possibility. I could also swear I've seen a tagging suggestion before and it was shot down in a similar fashion, however I can't find it. Acoustic Pie 16:03, 1 April 2009 (BST)
  9. Kill - As Midianian. --Private Mark 23:23, 1 April 2009 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. Spam - no no nono no. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 10:10, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  2. Spam - holy stit, no. No GPS tracking of enemies for exclusive survivor orientated griefing! -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:06 31 March 2009 (BST)
  3. Spam - Incomplete. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 16:08, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  4. Spam - As Izzy, boxy and Extropymine. --Johnny Bass 17:39, 31 March 2009 (BST)
  5. Spam - Overpowerd, seriously this is what developing suggestions is for.--Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 20:17, 1 April 2009 (BST)
  6. Now I'm pretty sure this is dupe, but I haven't been around this wiki for a while, and have no clue where anything is now. So I'm just gonna go with everybody in the kill and spam section. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:24, 1 April 2009 (BST)
  7. Spam - After this one is approved maybe we can vote in some chain leashes with which to strangle our zombie slaves? --Paddy DignamIS DEAD 23:40, 1 April 2009 (BST)
  8. Spam - Sweet Jesus fucking Christ, NO! --Papa Moloch 05:22, 2 April 2009 (BST)
  9. Spamtastic. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 10:05, 6 April 2009 (BST)
  10. Spam - Oh wow. While I would like a survivor that is somewhat equivalent to Scent Trail, this suggestion takes it to the extreme. As St. Iscariot would say, this is game-breakingly stupid. Fujiko Mine 08:57, 7 April 2009 (BST)


Voting Rules
Current Suggestions

Advice to Suggesters

  1. Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so.
  2. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed.
  3. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes.

Advice to Voters

  1. You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated.
  2. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote.
  3. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion.
  4. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam).
  5. It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion.
  6. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found.
  7. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.
Rules for Discussions

Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20090331 GPS Tags). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes
  • Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit.
  • Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page.
  • Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions.
Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied.
  • Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion.
Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied.
  • Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}}
Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Invalid Votes
  • Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide.
  • X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others.
  • Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.
Comments
  • Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting.
  • Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.
All Caps

Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
