I’ve named my pet so it is working for me. Have you definitely tried putting the ID in after the command (e.g. /petname 0 NAME)?

I have to say, the jewellery heist must easily be one of my favourite moments of ECRP. It was awesome seeing hard work in the planning fully pay off, and seeing people RP be so willing to RP with each other. What was expected to be a simple jewellery heist unexpectedly was caught by cops, and we had no choice but to ceasefire and negotiate our way out.. Awesome display of RP all around. I won't forget how proud I was of everyone in the faction that took part.

From the beginning conversation of this thread, my takeaway was that staff needed more requests to be placed for these RP opportunities as it helps bring a greater understand on how to improve the system in place. This is what I did. When Lola was in Rooks, I placed a request for an RP opportunity on 20 April. I left the faction on 28 April. To my understanding, there has been little to no progress since. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. When my other character, Jade Yang, was in Shenzhen, I placed a request for an RP opportunity for human trafficking 29 March and left the faction 31 March and passed the RP onto George. To my understanding, they were then told that they could not proceed with the RP about two months later at this time as it was very busy. I submitted my most recent RP request for Irish on 29/07 and have yet to hear back of an update. On the topic of requesting RP opportunities, Recently, I have found that I am unable to RP as “alternative characters” in-game for the sole purpose of facilitating RP without also creating a document and receiving approval from staff due to complications with Metagaming. I’ve been told that it’s preferred that members of the events team RP as these alternative characters. Since my time in Irish alone, I have and have had people to RP as command members of the IRA, soldiers of the IRA, conspiracy theorists and snitches, a british stakeknife and infiltrator, British MI6 agent, shipmen of the IRA to deliver bomb materials. This is not an exhaustive list of all the characters I have bought in solely for the facilitation of RP opportunities. I have bought an alternative character for Shenzhen (member of the Triads back in Hong Kong), as well as for Rooks (“Admiral”). Please bare in mind that I needed these alternative characters for almost all of my more in-depth planned RP. Since I found out that it was preferred for a staff member RPd as an alternative character for us, I wrote up the document not even 30 minutes later and placed a request. I requested this on 20/07 and have not heard back. From a procedural perspective, I can understand why some sort of monitoring needs to be put in place. However, from my own perspective as a player that just wants to RP and create RP for the community, this is simply frustrating. Where I previously could request permission for RP opportunities and receive a response within a day, I now have to wait weeks with little to no updates, progress, or even promise that this RP will go ahead. By the time that the RP could be approved, circumstances in-game have probably changed, by this I mean relations, storyline, or even my involvement in said faction. These are all things that can change quickly, which is why a faster procedure to push out these requested RP opportunities is crucial. I know I don’t need to RP with the reliance of script, I feel versed in my understanding on how to do this, but so much of the RP that I want to do now requires further intervention, which now takes weeks to plan, write, review, then discuss, which is taxing my own creativity and motivation to create more. What I mentioned in my post is the experience and perspective of my own. Please don’t take what I say as a means of disrespect. I want to RP as much as everyone on this server wants to, but there needs to be more of an urgency to push these RP opportunities through. None of the larger scaled RP that I have planned so far (by larger-scaled, I mean those involving my entire faction plus additional) would have been possible without the immediate support from SA+, which is was once previously before. Further insight on what has changed since the beginning of this thread in terms of the procedure in place would be appreciated.

Requesting the descriptive marker using the /dmarker command Blip that appears upon descriptive marker being approved. Text that shows up in chat when you step over the marker.

I think then with all the points considered, the main things as summarised to implement this would be: - To add, use command /descriptivemarker or /dmarker for short. To delete, stand over marker and /deletemarker OR /clearmarker to remove all existing markers when not nearby or when more than 1 descriptive marker at once is accepted. - Allowing support/senior support to review marker descriptions to alleviate work load from administrative team. - Implement a timer on set marker (1 hour) until expiration. - Implement a cool down (1 descriptive marker maximum per week to begin with as a “trial”) - Make it so that players have to be either on top of the marker to see it displayed like an admin marker OR have it then show up in the chat box when moving over the marker. This would also come after being added to the commands list to explain its appropriate use. More examples of what this would look like in practice and what markers would be considered appropriate is TBA.

Remove the ability to call check and instantly hang up.
skeletee replied to Puzzling's topic in Implemented Suggestions
+1 and also to @Vixxey’s suggestion! I think (1) making calls still ring while players are offline and (2) a missed/recent calls list that includes calls that were just left unanswered would improve player-to-player interaction the most! it would totally eliminate the attempts to MG entirely, and players would be able to follow up with missed calls or interactions they would’ve had if they were online -

I think I’ll -1 for the same reason as quoted above! I like this idea, but I also think this is one of those things that people can stand behind until its working against their favour. For example, if your organisation gets into a mass shoot-out with another, and your organisation survives, you WILL want to survive it. For some, this is granted that LEO do not arrive and place you in prison for three hours. When I am treating injured after a shoot-out, there is still that urgency to treat as many as possible, in as little time as possible, while still trying to maintain proper RP (e.g. fetching the med kits, identifying locations of wounds, locating and finding injured). Even then, people will still die. With a reduced timer, I’m afraid people will be more rushed with their RP and almost all members will die. With that being said, I’m not very sure what the implications would be here for the NLR rule. One of the reasons why conflicts can “escalate” and develop is because people survive getting shot and can live to tell the tale or seek revenge once they can (even if that does mean you are sometimes imprisoned). These are just my two cents! Please share what you think if you have any thoughts. EDIT: Just to be clear, I think the idea is good and can add realism, but perhaps 1 or so minutes might be a little bit too short? Could it be, instead, that simply being injured by gunshots would mean three and a half minutes instead of the full five?
