I agree - It does encourage meta game and is a pointless thing for the majority of players to see. Unless it was RPly given via News bulletin via the radio or other IC means then everyone should not know about it.

 

On the other hand it is good to congratulate the player on ending their character development if you personally have been following their story. all in all agree with the suggestion.

I agree completely, in the situation mentioned in the OP; without a shadow of a doubt; people's suspicions were raised immediately after the CK message dropped. This behavior should have definitely been reported. However, I personally don't want to see the removal of the CK messages, I think it's an adequate send-off for characters who have been well developed.

No... leave it in.

Agree somewhat. How much meta game is there when you see someone die.

Support, don’t see why people will want this in the game, only provides metagame nothing else. If people want the message to pop up? Make a delay for a couple of hours at least or days.

Making it toggleable only removes the cluster, not the metagame.

I've never had someone metagame because they saw a CK notification if they do it's incredibly strange and just worth a report.

Included one example in the OP, and there's plenty more, and in that case, there was multiple people MGing it, 10+ people

Make it toggle-able 

[Canadian]

Yeah no, disable it for everyone. Seen too many examples of it being MGed.

 

No benefit to keep it honestly.

 

Causes issues where people say "Well they didn't respond to my character for a few days so it's reasonable for my character to think they're dead." But the real reason is because they OOCly know they're dead. I've had many situations irl where people don't respond for a few days and I can't reach them and guess how many people jump to social media to say they're dead? None.

i personally think it's nice to gauge if someone's disappearance can be icly justified. if someone runs into ooc issues and can't come on/respond, you're not gonna say anything IC because you know their char is icly still around, npc'ing doing things, but the player can't get on to play rn. if they're CKd, it means their disappearance is ICly justified, and you can rp as that character is no longer around, no longer responding. people go fully inactive and no one assumes they're dead because they take the disappearance as an OOC thing. so, really, it'd be VERY easy for criminals to get away with murderous CKs because most likely, no one would know they're ACTUALLY dead and thus can rp that the person is no longer around them.

 

and as for the metagaming allegations, deal with those in a report, whining in a thread that it's being MGd is pretty redundant if you're not actively reporting when you see it or have evidence of it....

 

E: and as for the gigi manners situation, the entire drama was actually caused because she hadn't got into contact with anyone for i believe it was around 6 days? then it was revealed to someone that they had ****done something**** and it spread from there. considering someone that had info about what happened let it slip to MY character, you're not really telling the whole story are you?
