  1. It was removed because it created false expectations that led to a stinky stigma that FD doesn't take calls despite being on duty. Unfortunately, it led to more harm than good. It starts from people harassing online staff (I, for instance, received half a dozen PMs for not taking someone's call despite having members on duty). A rough example: "Excuse me? Why isn't FD sending anyone to my call despite having 20 people online?" to reports on us for slacking.
  2. Viscaria said really well here. I'm speaking as a person who received countless PMs of "where is the 15 FD online atm and not my call??" And I was also shown evidence it was used toxicly against us in various game related chats such as the /f, something along the lines of: "FD has 20 people on duty but they still NPC my scene." I'm afraid it's better gone.
  3. Yes please we wash our faction vehicles 3 times a day...
  4. Not really! This suggestion is not showing character's info, but rather what he died to.
  5. I don't think such a minor change is a massive developmental timesink. At least a quick deduction made with development experience tells me as much.
  6. I suppose the issue is that we don't know that /setinjuries can be used that way, I personally didn't. Making it more visible is also a viable solution to this end. But ultimately, I don't think it hurts. In fact, it could just be macroed to that easily, I believe. As much as you are right we should be careful exploitable game mechanics, it's against the rules to use any mechanic to metagame. This would be easily reportable, and people should already know not to metagame. I don't think it's the right reasoning to deny such a suggestion.
  7. I have never noticed this, and as far as I know, /injuries show on /examine and you can't examine their bodies
  8. Detailed Description The optional or forced ability to leave a description of your character's death on /cdamages upon /acceptdeath. Relevant Commands/Items /acceptdeath -> /acceptdeath [optional string description] /cdamages should show the optional string placed in /acceptdeath How will it benefit the server? While playing FD, I come across a lot of mysteriously PK'ed characters, I was hoping to enhance the situation and give us something to go off on while we are looking at how they died. And this would also grant the chance to leave a bit of detail for those that want to elaborate on their crime/death scene.
  9. Afaik in any human interaction what we need to strive for is to find a middle ground between polar opposites. Here you are advocating for your own side, yet I do not see a compromise made on your behalf. How would you have it be simplified? Where do we draw the line on simplicity in your opinion? I am asking because once we make FD less complicated, we get people complaining FD isn't realistic enough, then when we make things more akin to reality, it's another issue for another fraction of the community. My opinion is that things are fine and in that we teach our new members to analyze the situation and alter the amount of detail applied. We are also teaching them to ask questions on a broader sense. Rather than asking "What is pulse?" we get them to ask "has he lost enough blood?" and then from there onward we generate the vitals according to the ailment. But this is a compromise we made that leaves us vulnerable to some instances where knowledgable people take advantage of our abstractions and force unpleasant situations that put IC careers of EMTs at stake. IE, we ask if blood lost in high volumes, then we generate the vitals our own but the patient may make up things we could not foresee and not tell us simply because we didn't ask. Hence, cause their own death, etc. So I ask again, what is the ideal compromise in your mind?
  10. Burgers, Tacos, Chocolate, Water, ECola, Sprunk if we don't have the room to add more items. Or you can actually work on a whole menu of items depending on the store you guys decide. I wouldn't say what scripts are sold would be a concern, I just think such a business would be nice. It's not entirely different than 24/7's, Hawick Gunshop or Gas Stations. Managers can't rely on staff constantly, staff can't rely on managers constantly. These establishments are leased and killed within a week or so. Very visionary and constructive.
  11. Not like leased fast food chains last longer than 2 weeks anyway. Sacrificing one as public domain would not hurt at all. In fact, I propose it should be one in the county and one in the city.
  12. Personally, I think it should only work in the city limits. Otherwise yes, I think it should be gone.
