Show Idle Characters

Timestamp:	Kripcat - I.U.S.S 10:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Type:	Improvement
Scope:	Everyone with contacts
Description:	I propose that Idle Characters (Those that have idled out after five days) appear on your contact list in a separate column after the "Group" column labeled "Activity". Idled characters would be marked with an "I" and active characters with an "A". This would help groups determine who has idled out without changing their affiliation, who has forgotten to change their affiliation and who has simply not checked in with the group in a while. I can see no ill effects for this minor change, but if there are any I will remove the suggestion immediately.

1. Because I'd like to know if that guy in my contacts list who PKed me has quit, instead of always keeping an eye out for him. There are a number of variations on that scenario that others would likely want to know too. Besides, some people have 'anti-radio spam' extensions on, and don't carry a mobile. Not all of them are easily contactable in or out of game. –Xoid ^M•T•FU! 12:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
2. As Xoid, pretty much. I was typing a similar statement, but he edit conflicted me. >_> Cyberbob  Talk  12:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
3. Reading Xoid's vote made me change my mind. --Slice 'N' Dicin' Axe Hack 12:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
4. Joe O'Wood hates everything in the world. Get my flag off your sig, you bitter sassanach --Gene Splicer 13:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
5. aye --Funt Solo 13:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
6. Should be good. --ExplodingFerret 14:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
7. Keep-this to me is a definant keep for me for the exact same reason as xoid...(i hate pkers)--Lonewolf17a 15:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
8. Sounds good to me. It'd be nice to know whether that guy in your group is searching for ammo or timed out. -Mark 15:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
9. Keep - For obvious reasons that have been stated above. How is this the first time someone thought of this? --Rgon 15:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
10. Keep - Of course.--Mr yawn 15:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
11. Keep - Xoid for the win. Pillsy ^FT 15:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
12. keep 'nuff said. Asheets 15:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
13. Keep - Sure, I'd like to see if one of my friends has stopped playing for a while... --GhostStalker 15:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
14. Keep - Great idea. --BBM 17:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

17. Keep Sounds good --Karloth vois ^RR 21:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
18. Keep Sounds like a good way to clean out your contact list.--Nosimplehiway 00:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
19. Keep - Don't see any reasons why not, and I would prefer to know if my buddy wasn't playing anymore... --Lord Evans 00:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
20. Keep - Sure, but use better symbols than "A" and "I" or use "A" and "I" and apply the contact color coding to it. Anything that will make it visually appealing and simplistic. --Wikidead 01:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Re - I would be happy for different symbols to be used, "A" and "I" were just the first things that came to mind. Kripcat - ^I.U.S.S 01:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
21. Definitely- I would seriously like to know which of my faction members are idle.--Grigori 02:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
22. To allow us to make a difference between people that just don't have time to check meta-game plans and people who quit? Sure. -Certified=Insane^☭ 02:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
23. Sounds fine. And to the kill/spam voters READ THE SUGGESTION. This isn't just about members of your group it is about whatever way you use the contacts list, be it friend, foe or other.--Pesatyel 02:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Spam - Does this really need a suggestion? If one of your group members is inactive, the fact that they won't respond to text messages in game and that you can't find them will say something. --Joe O'Wood TALKCONTRIBSUD 12:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

   Uh...No. If they're idled, they're idled. Talk to them on AIM if you must, but they're idled 1 way or the other. --Slice 'N' Dicin' Axe Hack 12:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Change Music in Clubs and Arms

Timestamp:	Lord of the Pies 16:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Type:	Flavour
Scope:	People, Clubs, People in Clubs
Description:	Survivors should be able to change the music in Clubs. A minor flavour addition, it would work like the 'Cinema Management' suggestion (in Peer Reviewed); a Survivor would be able to spend 1AP changing the music by selecting an option from a drop-down menu of five or six types of music you would expect to hear in clubs (i.e. no folk music). The description would change from the current one of Coloured spotlights highlight an empty stage, and distorted music echoes over the speakers to Coloured spotlights highlight an empty stage, and distorted [music type] music echoes over the speakers. Of course, this would only work in powered Clubs and if the Generator is destroyed then the message reverts to the original one until someone changes the music again. Yonder pubbes would also be able to play music if powered in much the same way: the current description is You are standing in an abandoned pub but if it's powered and a survivor has chosen a music type (of appropriate types, e.g. folk, jazz, classic rock, 60s, 70s, 80s) the description would change to You are standing in an abandoned pub, [music type] music echoing from a dented jukebox. If the Generator is destroyed or unpowered the description reverts back to the ordinary one until the music is changed again.

1. Could you hear the music from outside? -Mark 16:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
2. Ridiculous flavour - I'm in favour. (And, you know, they might play folk music in a folk music club...why, there's a club in Glasgow that switches from ceilidh to jungle at the stroke of midnight.) --Funt Solo 17:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
3. Keep - Sure why not.--Labine50 ^MH|^ME|^P 18:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
4. Keep - Finally! Now zeds and harmans come party to better music!--Mr yawn 19:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
5. Keep - Flavor FTW, please include some Queen songs for the pubs!-- John Verdana 20:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
6. Keep - Sounds fun, how about Malls having distorted Elevator music playing on their speakers?--Canuhearmenow ^Hunt! 20:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
7. Keep- Maybe the music shows up on any radio transmissions sent from that building?--Grigori 21:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Example: 27.24: Greetings from Club Penfold in South Blythville! (There is the sound of disco music in the backround)--Grigori 02:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
8. Keep - but with a minor tweak: there should be more types of music available. E.g., heavy metal, darkwave, EBM, techno, that sort of thing. --Sgt. John Taggart^{UNIT 11/5 WCDZ TJ!} 23:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
9. keep with slight mod -- Grigori's and Burgan's suggestions sound good (and Grigori's would encourage GKing and RKing because of the spam generated) Asheets 00:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
10. Keep - Ok, seems like a justified flavor change. --Wikidead 01:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
11. OH!!! Let's hire the fastest hands in New York, DJ Spinbad, from Z100!!! --Slice 'N' Dicin' Axe Hack 02:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
12. Keep And let the music be heard outside. Zombies should get to groove too. --Jon Pyre 02:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
13. Keepin' It Real! The cool thing, is over time Kevan can add a larger and larger selection of songs available... ex. "I'm too sexy" ~ Right said Fred MrAushvitz 02:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
14. Keep - Nice touch of flavor; I just hope there aren't idiots who abuse it--Wbleak24 04:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
15. Keep - Although I'll probably never do it, this would still be a pretty good flavor addition. And I second the Queen comment. Also, Axe Hack, why the hell would you hear Z100 in Malton? :P --GhostStalker 05:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
16. Keep - But only if the Badger Badger Badger song is an option. (Joking, of course. Idea's fine as is.) --Zap 18:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
17. Keep = If Kevan _really_really_really_ wants to do this, that's his choice. And I'm not joking about that Badger ditty. ;) Daniel Hicken 19:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

1. I think it would be more in keeping with the style of the game mechanics that you were only allowed to 'put on the next album', which would randomly be one of the possibilities. --Burgan 00:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
2. eh... not really an exciting option to me.--Ev933n 04:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Spam - I'm going to have to go with no, not needed, does nothing for anyone, and wastes Kevans time if he actually implements it. --CaptainM 08:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
