20080504 Modify Profile Death Status

Kolechovski 20:51, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Suggestion type
Logic Flaw Fix
Suggestion scope
Slain survivors
Suggestion description
CURRENT GAME MECHANICS:

When you view someone’s profile, you get their alive/dead description, as well as their class (Civilian, Military, or Scientist, if alive, Zombie if dead).

Current listings are as follows:

Alive-Civilian/Military/Scientist, alive description/class tree Slain-Civilian/Military/Scientist, alive description/class tree Undead-Zombie, zombie description/class tree Dead Zombie-Zombie, zombie description/class tree Reviving-Civilian/Military/Scientist, alive description/class tree

SUGGESTED CHANGE:

Slain-Zombie, zombie description/class tree

Reason-When you’re reviving, you’re reverting to life, and your profile changes to that, even though you’re not fully functioning and standing up yet. Well, if you get killed, you’re reverting to zombie state, so your profile should be changed to reflect that as well as soon as you get killed. This is basically a logic flaw fix.

Keep Votes

1. Author Keep - Because God said so?--Kolechovski 20:52, 4 May 2008 (BST)
2. Keep - Sure, why not? --FXI 22:32, 4 May 2008 (BST) (Woops, forgot to sign.)
3. Week Keap -Why not?--Studoku ^W! 00:21, 5 May 2008 (BST)
4. Keep - Makes sense to me. --Sedway Leighman 00:44, 5 May 2008 (BST)
5. Keep with a change - for freshly slain survivors, do NOT show the number of times they have died until they stand up as a zombie. Currently the situation is the reverse; you can see how many times they died, but they look as a civilian. With this change, you can still tell recently killed survivors from those killed zombies (by looking at profiles) but you also get more "up to date" info on your contacts page and on the stats page.  Swiers 01:07, 5 May 2008 (BST)
6. Keep - I like it.--Jamie Cantwel3 ^Talk 02:29, 5 May 2008 (BST)
7. Keep it, and put life insurance on it to prevent it from being killed - This is an excellent idea. For those who don't understand, essentially he's saying that when you are killed, the listing for you on other people's contact lists would show you as being a zombie, instead of still showing you as alive. If you are revived, it will show you as being a human type (civilian, military, scientist) on their contact lists, instead of still showing you as a zombie. Plus apparently God said so, and I don't feel like disagreeing with God. --Tselita 08:01, 5 May 2008 (BST)
8. Keep - Why not. --Pvt human 09:21, 5 May 2008 (BST)
9. Keep - Because I want to look like a corpse when I'm lying dead on the ground. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 10:40, 5 May 2008 (BST)
10. Keep - Sure. Seems to make sense. --UCFSD 13:59, 5 May 2008 (BST)
11. Keep - I was thinking about this just last week. --_└^Frozen_┘^┌_Flame^┐ 14:34, 5 May 2008 (BST)
12. Keep - I guess so. --ZsL 18:17, 5 May 2008 (BST)
13. Keep - vulcans approve of this suggestion. --WanYao 20:30, 5 May 2008 (BST)
14. Keep - logic = good--Corndoghero^T-S-Z 21:09, 5 May 2008 (BST)
15. Keep - So basically you want profiles of killed characters (civilian -> dead body) to reflect that of being a zombie? Okay that makes a sensible fix, albeit a hard-to-read one. ~Ariedartin • Talk • A KS J abt all 15:48, 6 May 2008 (BST)
16. Keep? :/ - I think I get it. And if it's what I think I get then I like it. I think. :/ -- Cheese 23:39, 6 May 2008 (BST)
17. Keep - Makes sense. - Grant (talk) 09:36, 7 May 2008 (BST)
18. Keep - Seems logical. --Sonofagun18 12:24, 7 May 2008 (BST)
19. Keep - I'm voting keep because WanYao mentioned Vulcans. --Barton 17:40, 9 May 2008 (BST)
20. keep - voting keep because the system is not fine as is, and because many of the kill voters don't know how to spell kill. They're spelling it 'against'. What's next, aye and nay? Are we congress now? --Katsman 23:44, 11 May 2008 (BST)
21. Keep - The current system is a horrible hack (I assume it works the way it does to stop you saving up 100XP until you're eaten, then buying Ankle Grab before standing up.) I'd rather the profile didn't reveal (to your contacts on the other side of the city) that you'd been killed, but since it does it should say whether you'll be alive or dead when you stand up, because that's the state you'll be in when you make your next move. --Explodey 20:06, 12 May 2008 (BST)

    Keep - Pretty much what the guy above me said -- Rage 16:37, 13 May 2008 (BST) -- Sock. Cheese 00:01, 19 May 2008 (BST)

    Sure - Doesn't hurt --DeadManWalking 19:22, 13 May 2008 (BST) - Sock. -- Cheese 00:22, 19 May 2008 (BST)

22. Keep-Drop down windows make the game go slower. This is better. I vote yes --Howser 21:46, 13 May 2008 (BST)
23. Keep - By the power of greyskull, this is a good idea! --Psalm42 00:32, 14 May 2008 (BST)
24. Keep - I have no idea what this suggestion is about. The sentence structure is wrong, but I will vote keep because I succumb to peer pressure easily --Machismo 00:49, 14 May 2008 (BST)
25. I thought that's how it is already in the game (if I made a mistake in my voting please fix it thanks) -- Allison 15:40, 14 May 2008 (BST)
26. Keep - hehe. Hey Firemanrik. Yes! Good! Right! --Sullivan 17:53, 14 May 2008 (BST)
27. Keep - Third keep in a row. Wow. Or should I be voting For since a lot of people are voting Against? --Zaphod Beeblebrox 18:55, 14 May 2008 (BST)

    Keep When you die, you're going to be a zombie for at least a little while, and vice versa - Dr Feelgood 18:18, 15 May 2008 (BST) - Sock. -- Cheese 00:16, 19 May 2008 (BST)

    justification it helps keep track of which of your contacts are alive or dead,right? Guybrush Threepwood 19:28, 15 May 2008 (BST) - Sock. -- Cheese 00:01, 19 May 2008 (BST)

29. Keep - I love this idea. Best idea evah. AshLaw 21:50, 15 May 2008 (BST)
30. Keep - I vote against the status quo. --Rex 23:35, 15 May 2008 (BST)

    Keep - I'm voting keep because I'm pretending to know what you said. --The Real Robert Lord 06:56, 16 May 2008 (BST) -- Sock. -- Cheese 00:01, 19 May 2008 (BST)

    Keep - When you're getting revived, if you stand up you're a living human already, so you should be listed as such. When you die, if you stand up you're a zombie, so you should be listed as such as well --Ohforf'sake 15:16, 16 May 2008 (BST) - Sock. -- Cheese 00:01, 19 May 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Against- It is fine as it is. -- BKM 22:29, 4 May 2008 (BST)
2. Against- .... What? --Mps93
3. against - i dont see a problem with how it is now. --Scotw 01:47, 5 May 2008 (BST)
4. Against - This makes zero sense. Also, learn how to structure a suggestion. --Vandurn 02:36, 5 May 2008 (BST)

   Re: What's wrong with the structure? I thought I did it just fine. As for the sense part, the change I'm suggesting is for dead bodies to be shown as "zombie" in their profile status (except when reviving).--Kolechovski 16:23, 6 May 2008 (BST)

5. Kill - I don't like it. --Pdeq^Talk* 02:58, 5 May 2008 (BST)
6. Kill/Against - When did we start using Against here!? HUH!? doesn't make sense imo....--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 04:18, 5 May 2008 (BST)

   Re: I replied under Vandurn.--Kolechovski 16:23, 6 May 2008 (BST)

10. Against - Makes little sense. I don't see anything wrong with the current system. There are two states of death but is it really important to adress them on the profile?!? This is just kinda petty Zig13 - 6/05/2008 at 10:49(BST)

    Re: I replied under Vandurn.--Kolechovski 16:23, 6 May 2008 (BST)

11. Kill - Author obviously fails at the very logic he's saying he's trying to correct. A dead body is not a zombie, otherwise all your dead grandparents would class as zombies and I could hit them with an axe. Also a revivifying body isn't a civilian either for the same reason. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 19:08, 6 May 2008 (BST)
12. Kill - A survivor's corpse is of a dead survivor until he/she animates and stands up as a zombie. A zombie's corpse is of a dead zombie until he/she gets up and reveals that he/she is really a survivor. That make sense? --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 00:42, 7 May 2008 (BST)

    RE: The change I'm suggesting is for survivors to change to Zombie the moment they die, just as how zombies change to survivor the moment revived.--Kolechovski 02:50, 13 May 2008 (BST)

    I understand why you are doing it, but it's technically wrong. When a survivor dies, it goes to the dead survivor page as they are the corpse of a survivor. When a zombie is revived, their body is rejuvenated to a living state that is indistinguishable from other survivor corpses, save for a tell-tale smell that zombies can learn to distinguish. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 01:02, 14 May 2008 (BST)

13. Kill -- No, bad, wrong! --Firemanrik 02:46, 7 May 2008 (BST)
14. Kill -- Still dosent make any sense.--Carnexhat 08:57, 7 May 2008 (BST)

17. Kill - Not needed, and your use of the English language makes my eyes sad.--Screw Names 07:31, 9 May 2008 (BST)

Sounds like a certain group wants to be "alive" while dirt napping, how cute. -- LABIA on the INTERNET ^{Dunell Hills Corpseman} #24 - |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ^TMG 10:08, 13 May 2008 (BST)

Re: Actually, this is to change people to being "dead" as soon as they get killed. Everybody already reverts to "alive" as soon as injected with a syringe.--Kolechovski 23:35, 15 May 2008 (BST)
