Digital Camera

Timestamp:	Canuhearmenow Hunt! 20:36, 3 October 2006 (BST)
Type:	New item.
Scope:	For those who find a Kodak moment.
Description:	This adds the Digital Camera to Malton, the Digital Camera is found in these locations; 4% Mall Tech Stores, 2% Clubs, 2% Schools, 1% Buildings. The Camera is a 1 inventory space item that has 5 "Shots." any more and it will erase the last picture. Upon clicking the camera it takes a picture of the current screen HTML (.txt) Which would be great for Bounty Hunting, it would produce a unfakeable picture. "Why Not just Copy and paste the Screenshot on the Wiki?" you ask, well, this works in-game without the hassle of using the Wiki, also you can display these pictures on your profile with optional Captions. You also can "Check" your favorite pictures, so that once you reach the 5 pic limit it would not delete it, and if you save all your pics, well, you can't take anymore pictures. Use? Well 1.) It allows you to save those beautiful and memorable Kodak moments. 2.) Allows you to display intel you found, be it Revive Point numbers or a PK. 3.) Allows uniqueness in the game, like it would allow customization to a character ("Look at what I took!").

Keep Votes

1. Keep - Author Vote, would help Bounty Hunting and taking that beautiful pwnage shot.--Canuhearmenow ^Hunt! 20:36, 3 October 2006 (BST)
2. *Flash* Gotcha! --Funt Solo 20:43, 3 October 2006 (BST)
3. Keep That Pose Could be neat, your favorite pictures collection. "Ohh look honey, here's us at the Caiger Mall seige!" (If this passes, and the river suggestion passes I'm making Jaques Cousteau and he'll do a play by play as he takes pictures "In zere native habitat zeez zombies love to ransack buildings, and decorate their territory with bodies..") --MrAushvitz 20:51, 3 October 2006 (BST)
4. Keep I'm down with this, though I'd suggest that going over the limit replaces the first picture, not the last. Also, I think that something like this might need a rough equivalent for the zeds, if only for the bounty hunting purpose. --Kestrel 21:02, 3 October 2006 (BST)
5. Keep - Why not? Nothing wrong with it and displays information for those who dont know about or cant get onto the wiki.--Mr yawn 21:04, 3 October 2006 (BST)
6. Keep - Slightly pointless, but in a good way. Adds flavour, can't see why not. -- Catriona McM 22:14, 3 October 2006 (BST)
7. Keep - Now this is a good idea.--Labine50 ^MHG|^MalTel 22:46, 3 October 2006 (BST)
8. The camera loves ya Baby! - and if you get a picture of a celebrity you can text message it to a Gossip magizine for Xp! --Officer Johnieo 23:34, 3 October 2006 (BST)
9. Keep I just know the inevitable pro-PKing spam votes: "Don't be lazy! If you want to be a bounty hunter just take the simple steps of taking a screen cap, saving it as a jpeg in photoshop, cropping out the important parts, uploading it to a private photo site, and advertising the link in game totally shattering the immersion." Puh-lease. Besides, photoshop can easily fake that kind of stuff. Something in game is verifiable. This is fair. Here's a suggestion though...make it a camera phone. That'll put those cell phones to good use. And then you can send pictures to other people's phones maybe. --Jon Pyre 23:39, 3 October 2006 (BST)
10. Keep- Like Dead Rising sort of.--Grigori 00:44, 4 October 2006 (BST)
    • Re - That's actually where I got the idea.--Canuhearmenow ^Hunt! 01:07, 4 October 2006 (BST)
11. Keep- Awesome, can be improved a bit but still earns my keep.(If you want my suggestions message me)--Blackie Chan 20:39, 3 October 2006 (BST)
12. Strong Keep- What can I say that already hasn't been said? Great idea in evrey sense of the word. SaintKashmir 02:04, 4 October 2006 (BST)
13. Photo Finish! (What? Anyone got a problem about me not writing Keep in front of my comment take it to my talk page. This is the Keep section for crying out loud!) --Axe Hack 02:19, 4 October 2006 (BST)
14. This could be a game unto it's self. Get the best pic and win a free cading of the place of your choice. --CrimsonD 03:14, 4 October 2006 (BST)
15. Hooray- I want to get snap happy --Gene Splicer 12:18, 4 October 2006 (BST) To answer Kalir's query below, I assume that the server would store a simplified (pared of links to reduce storage size, fake buttons that don't actually do anything, etc) HTML page that would reconstruct a copy of the photographed page when opened in your browser. And holy crap, I love Pyre's addition. Note!--Gene Splicer 12:54, 4 October 2006 (BST)
16. I'm sortof happy with this as it is, thus the keep vote, but I think you need to consider the mechanism by which the snapshots are shared between users. See the discussion page. --ExplodingFerret 12:21, 4 October 2006 (BST)
17. Snap Shot - Great :) --Marie^{The Grove} 17:29, 4 October 2006 (BST)
18. Keep - Great idea. --Preasure 18:44, 4 October 2006 (BST)
    

Kill Votes

1. ILUVU - Note: I really like this suggestion, honestly, but it confuses the FAK out of me. Do we get raw HTML code, a sort of simplified text file resembling it (a la alt.org Nethack) or something else altogether? --Kalir 05:30, 4 October 2006 (BST)
2. Kill - Before starts hating me for my kill vote, realize that the only problem with the idea (and I think it's a great idea!!) is that people could take pictures after they get killed. If I mis-read the camera idea, please give me a note so I can change my vote!. - Nicks 23:33, 4 October 2006 (BST)
   • Re - Nope, can't take pictures after death.--Canuhearmenow ^Hunt! 20:42, 5 October 2006 (BST)
