20070824 Colored Flares

Vkkhamul 20:51, 24 August 2007 (BST)

Suggestion type
Have you ever observed flares without knowing what they really mean? It is pretty frustrating. Is that scout calling for help, or is he signalling to zombies a vulnerable area??!
Suggestion scope
Applies to all survivors with flare guns (mostly Scouts).
Suggestion description
This modification would allow the user of a flare gun to select which colored flare that they want to fire. Red would generally mean "DANGER! Stay away!" Yellow would generally mean "Lots of zeds here," and Green would generally mean "Come here and help me."

Keep Votes

1. Keep Yup.--Seventythree 20:56, 24 August 2007 (BST)
2. Keep- Author vote =p --Vkkhamul 21:04, 24 August 2007 (BST)
3. Keep - Not a dupe (prior suggestion suggested new items, this tweaks an existing), not unrealistic, kinda cool. --Pgunn 23:48, 24 August 2007 (BST)
4. Seems Good Why not? Don't say "Realism". Seriously. Oh, and that isn't a dupe. He's being more specific, and that was 2 years ago, so the situation is different. BoboTalkClown 00:49, 25 August 2007 (BST)
5. Keep - --Abi79 ^AB 21:10, 25 August 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill- Pointless, and could still be abused by zed-spies Nalikill 20:52, 24 August 2007 (BST)
2. Kill- Seeing as they are pointing to a two year old dupe, and the community is probably different, I'm saying Kill. But, also because its fairly pointless, and you wouldn't be ABLE to pick what color flare it is, it'd have to depend on what you find it as. -- Bop 22:22, 24 August 2007 (BST)
3. Kill - Don't decide what colors would mean in the suggestion. Aside from that, as above. --Saluton 00:05, 25 August 2007 (BST)
4. Kill - It's different enough, and it's been a long enough time, so I won't call it a dupe. It's still pretty useless, though. Also, the flares in the game are the single-shot disposable type. Unless you found each color seperately, you wouldn't be able to choose what color to fire. --Steakfish 03:30, 25 August 2007 (BST)
5. Kill - As Bop & Steakfish already stated, the flare guns in Malton are one time use only. How can you put different types of ammo in a flare gun of this type? --Sonofagun18 06:31, 25 August 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Dupe - Dude! I've seen this befor and it got shot down. I just can't find it yet. Suggestions/14th-Nov-2005#Colored Flares Found it. --Sonny Corleone ^{RRF CoL DORIS CRF pr0n} 21:30, 24 August 2007 (BST)

   It is not a dupe because it is not essentially the same suggestion; I go way, way further into detail, and hopefully you guys like it much better. --Vkkhamul 01:25, 25 August 2007 (BST)

7. Dupe - I like it, but it is virtually the same as the dupe link. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 01:46, 25 August 2007 (BST)
