20070711 Cell Phone Ringtones

Inkfingers 23:14, 11 July 2007 (BST)

Suggestion type
This suggstion does not alter fundemental gameplay, add a new skill, or make anything less/more powerful. It simply adds an extra, non-gameplay-influencing feature of customization to one's Mobile Phones, allowing you to set how your phone will alert you that you have recieved a message.

Suggestion scope
Cell phones, specifically how they deliver message notifications.

Suggestion description
Mobile phones in real life, as we know, have a plethora of ringtones - why, then, I ask, do the ones in UD not have the same option? Cell phones should be given the option of setting their ringtone to one of perhaps six different settings - something like "Fribble, Chirp, Ding, Screams, Buzz, or Play a Showboat Tune" on a dropdown menu next to the phone screen that comes up after one clicks on it. Clicking on a button "Change Ringtone" would set the ringtone to whatever you had it at, and use up one AP. Thereafter, messages you receive would be prefaced with that ringtone, instead of the standard "Beep". Thus, instead of "Your phone beeped. You have a new message from Inkface. (message from 1 hour and 12 minutes ago)", you might get "Your phone played a rousing showboat tune to you. You have a new message from Fewawe. (message from 1 hour and 12 minutes ago)" or "Your phone fribbled loudly. You have a new message from Inkfingers. (message from 1 hour and 12 minutes ago)" or even "Your phone screamed horribly at you. You have a new message from Inkfingers. (message from 1 hour and 12 minutes ago)" (Note: This is my first suggestion. Please tell me if I did anything wrong, so that I may then do it right.)

Keep Votes

#Kill Dissenting vote, but it's harmless. Useless, but harmless. Unsigned vote struck. 'arm. 02:55, 14 July 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - I'm all for flavor, but this isn't really needed. And also, your gonna turn up a phone in the middle of a hostile Zombie takeover? What are you, nuts?:).-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 23:21, 11 July 2007 (BST)
  2. Kill - This is useless... it's not even good flavor. "...your phone 'fribbled' loudly at you" Fribble? Do we really need that? --Vault 23:37, 11 July 2007 (BST)
  3. Kill - I don't like the idea. --Magentaine 00:20, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  4. Kill - As per everyone else, and, I think it's a bad idea --Ryiis 00:30, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  5. Kill - As said by the others... -- Teleport 00:35, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  6. Kill - Nah. --Seventythree 00:39, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  7. Kill As above...and Sonny, have you ever voted keep on anything that only applies to survivors? I play zombies and think you're far too biased...--Wooty 04:30, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  8. Kill - I hate shitty ring tones. No need to transplant them into UD. Useless flavour actually. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 06:19, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  9. Kill - not needed and i don't like it --Duke GarlandTLCD SSZ 13:36, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  10. Kill - I hate shitty ring tones too. Why would you want to spoil the game? Why? WHY? Is there nothing holy to you? --Murhapuro 15:34, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  11. Kill - well... as others.-- Vista  +1  18:43, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  12. Kill - Only if ringtones make the battery go down faster (or at all), and give other survivors/zombies a +10% for attacks on someone with an annoying ringtone. --Saluton 18:44, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  13. Kill - No. Just No. For some reason, when I saw this suggestion, I thought N'Sync *shudder*. If this somehow gets in the game, I'll become a PKer. --Coco1993 01:16, 13 July 2007 (BST)
  14. Kill - I think Saluton is on to something though -- boxy T Nuts2U DA 14:04, 13 July 2007 (BST)
  15. Kill - Saluton is definately onto something. Perhaps the Frog ring tone should survivors into a Hulk-like berserker rage! 'arm. 02:50, 14 July 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. Spam - Yeah...no. --Sonny Corleone RRF CoL DORIS Hunt! 23:29, 11 July 2007 (BST)
  2. Spam - The horror... --The Hierophant 00:39, 12 July 2007 (BST)
  3. Spam - stupid is as stupids ringotne. . . . And Wooty, do you ever shut up about other peoples votes, especially when you vote Kill then chastise him for voting kill, get a life. I type on the wiki and I think you're far too biased.--karek 09:29, 12 July 2007 (BST)
