20070703 Contacts Comments

Contacts List

Suggestion description
Swiers recent suggestion, Suggestion:20070622 change "Your Contact List" to "Character Name's Contact List" got me thinking. What else could be done to improve the contacts list? One problem I always have is that when I hit the 150 entry limit and go to delete old entries I have forgotten who many of my contacts are and why I added them to contacts in the first place. My suggestion is simple, provide a small space next to each entry where I can enter in a short blurb about that person. This could be, "Pked me in Ackland", "This guy CR'ed 4 team members at Went NT", "on team KOS list June 07", "this is so and so's alt", or "good defender, revive asap" etc etc. I'm thinking something the size of a graffiti spray would be enough for most situations. Simple, useful, convenient, and has no effect on balance.

Keep Votes

1. Keep Author vote --DonTickles 16:42, 3 July 2007 (BST)
2. Keep hmmm. Interestingly Usefull. At the moment I have to colourcode (blue-enemies, green-allies, red-groupmembers yellow-good guys) but htis could allow me to keep much more comprehensive lists.--Seventythree 16:44, 3 July 2007 (BST)
3. Keep - Yes yes yes, helps sorting contacts. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:45, 3 July 2007 (BST) Yes! 1 minute response from 73, I can go to sleep now.
4. keep with my play style colour coding is tricky at best so a small not (even 20 characters) would be invaluable! --Honestmistake 16:49, 3 July 2007 (BST)
5. keep -I believe it's a dupe in peer, but can't be bothered to look at the moment.-- Vista  +1  16:55, 3 July 2007 (BST)

   Yeah probably, I got all excited about my idea after reading Swiers suggestion that I posted it without looking. Ooops. --DonTickles 17:39, 3 July 2007 (BST)

6. Keep - what Vista wrote --Duke Garland_T^{LCD SSZ} 17:17, 3 July 2007 (BST)
7. Keep - One of those 'I cannot believe it has not been implemented yet' ideas. --The Hierophant 17:41, 3 July 2007 (BST)
8. Keep - Excellent idea. - BzAli 18:14, 3 July 2007 (BST)
9. Keep - Would have preferred this over color coding.--karek 18:17, 3 July 2007 (BST)
10. Keep - I don't see how it could hurt.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 18:23, 3 July 2007 (BST)
11. Keep - I like it. --User:Axe27/Sig 18:59, 3 July 2007 (BST)
12. Keep - "Or you could just use a piece of paper, or a text file on your computer, or write it on your arm." - Or you could be getting drunk instead of playing the game, it doens't mean the suggestion isn't good. ~m ^T! 19:23, 3 July 2007 (BST)
13. Keep - Yes, please! Great idea! - Werewolf32 21:32, 3 July 2007 (BST)
14. Keep - Would make things easier - Jaysonequalsyayy 04:33, 4 July 2007 (BST)
15. Keep - I'd love this one! --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 04:35, 4 July 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Or you could just use a piece of paper, or a text file on your computer, or write it on your arm. If something can be easily done without modifying the game, don't modify the game! --Saluton 16:57, 3 July 2007 (BST)

   Perhaps you do things differently than I do. I add contacts until it reaches 150, then clean house, and do it again about 3 months later. I would rather not try to save, "Gore Girl is Goolinas QSG alt" on my arm for 3 months. The lack of showering would be pretty harsh on my family... --DonTickles 17:39, 3 July 2007 (BST)
