===20081027 Hello! Can you hear me?===

{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 12:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Suggestion type'''<br />
Minor RP tweak.

'''Suggestion scope'''<br />
Survivors and Zombies in the game Urban Dead.

'''Suggestion description'''<br />
Quite simply, you can always use the speak button. This applies to both the living and the dead. Im sure many zombies in a ruined mall would love to praise barhah. 

Not only good for RP, but also removes one of those situations where buttons change places on you. 

For example. Whilst explaining this on [[Developing Suggestions]] I unidled a character to prove my point. http://iwrecords.urbandead.info/10-19-08_2300hrs_PUBLIC/OUT_99-75_talky_2c2-f43-5d2.html Unfortunately he happened to be in Penny Heights just as the [[MOB]] hit. I had some choice words to say, but sadly could not express them.

'''Keep Votes'''
#'''Keep''' I am the author and I enjoy talking to myself. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 12:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
#:<s>'''Keep''' - I'm voting keep, this means you should all vote keep. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 13:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)</s>
#:<s>Since Midianian wants a nice justification for this, here's one: I'm voting keep because the lemon is a citrus fruit. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 14:22, 27 October 2008 (UTC)</s>
#:'''Note''' - Inane vote removed. Please vote on the merits of the suggestion. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

#'''Keep''' - Voting keep for RP reasons and because it fixes a (minor) bouncing button problem. [[User:Linkthewindow|<span style="color: DodgerBlue">Linkthewindow</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Linkthewindow|<span style="color: DarkRed">Talk</span>]] </sup> 21:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - I have tried doing this more than once. Would love to see it implemented. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 22:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
# So, Why can't I whisper to myself, Or perhaps 'talk' to myself without speaking, Just moving my lips. Or talk to myself in my head. I find it unlikely this would have such an impact on UrbanDead. Actually, clarify the suggestion, I am a bit confused. 'Waste' AP, why would it cost an AP and not just an IP Hit? Though, Can only you hear you? {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 00:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
# '''Keep''' - Make the explanation something like "Survivors and zombies, being driven with rage, have started calling out, even when nobody is around." {{User:Medico/sig}} 06:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - But as because whenever you talk in the new town, it enters you in the competition (as far as I understand, it being up for 2 hours), Kevan will probably only introduce this after the comp is done. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - My PKers enjoy taunting their victims, and a lot of times they're denied that. Just as long as we don't have the bodies on the ground talking, this is good stuff. --[[User:Howard Bentley|Howard Bentley]] 23:56, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - As above. --[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 00:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Kill Votes'''
#'''Kill''' - While i like the idea of talking to myself, i don't think dead bodies should be able to hear and this creates confusion as to whether or not they can. People will see the speak button and rant at dead bodies thinking they can hear. So if you mean dead bodies can hear, then i think this is a bad idea. And if you mean dead bodies can't hear then that needs to be explained when someone speaks, something like ''you say "BARHAH HARMANZ!!!" but nobody is around to hear  you''. --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
# I wasn't sure about the point.  If you want to wast AP "talking to yourself" go ahead, but why, really would you want to?  How does it make the game more fun?  I can think of how it can make the game LESS fun.  Imagine you get killed and your body is laying there and some asshole comes along and spams you up with garbage.  Wow.  Fun.  I'm not voting spam, only because it would be a good idea to keep the buttons in position.  But the rest?  I just have to ask:  Why?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:10, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Spam/Dupe Votes'''
#'''Spam''' - As dead bodies cannot hear speech (even if the can hear radios and greans), this is an action that doesn't do anything, and isn't even visible to others. That's a waste of code. And bandwidth. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]<small><sup>&#124;[[User talk:Midianian|T]]&#124;[[Developing Suggestions|DS]]&#124;[[:Category:Recently Closed Suggestions|C:RCS]]&#124;</sup></small> 14:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
#'''spam''' utterly pointless unless bodies can hear you. if the game changes to let them then i still say no.... you wanna speak to the dead do it before they die or wait till they get up!--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 22:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
#'''Spam''' - Dead bodies are deaf. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 23:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
#:'''RE''' Don't mind if I address the above three comments all at the same time? I don't really understand the waste of code/bandwith argument. Surely the code already exists to speak? And indeed speak on your own (Diary room anyone?) How does it waste bandwith? Its just the same usage as speaking in a room with other people? Secondly. This isn't about speaking to the dead. Notice how I removed that before bringing it to voting. Now its much more RP focussed. I can Iwitness myself praying, or laughing over the body of someone ive pk'd or, well other things. Finally as Mid says "They can hear radios and greans". First of all, Im not talking to them! (and theres no '''Dead Bodies'''in urban dead). And anyway again its not about talking to the dead. Notice how I don't mention that anywhere? (Apart from here) --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:11, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
