Forgetting Alias's / Remove Alias System?

[Froosy]

Forgetting an alias over a period of time, the period of time in which a person would no longer have the ID could depend on the following for example:

- The amount of times they've interacted with each other, (possibly associated with share ID script.)

- Time since interactions or LOA.

- Faction Membership

- Same family name (This one would be weird since ik people with same family names who have no real association with one another)

- Phone Contacts

- amount of time arrested from a PD (PD/Crim type interactions)

Some sort of algorithm can calculate all of these to determine a time for forgetting a characters ID. I think this would make PD/Crim interactions more interesting with the new Fake IDs.

EDIT: The point of this suggestion is to have it somewhat forced into the roleplay so that its consistent, not as an option for toggle.
EDIT2: Removing alias system as a whole and let people know who is who based on clothing, voice etc. like mentioned in the replies.

I think for that to happen in some cases, it’d have to be toggleable like giving keys. Example: instances of arrest. First time could be set to last a day or so, second time a week-month, third is then permanent (regular current system). If I arrested someone 3 times I’d likely remember their face and info pretty well. 
 

I’d never want that forced though. It wouldn’t make sense for most of my characters to have some form of long term memory issues

I legitimately feel like half the LEOs don't even really care for or want to have people alias'd just like that. Adding /unalias or /removealias would go a long way already, especially where character name changes are concerned.

Yeah, i mean realistically this implementation would more benefit the Crim/LEO dynamic. I dont think it should be forced on internal PD for example.

@PazzI also agree with the fact that most LEO's wouldn't care to forget the names, but in the other hand i dont think they would bother to unalias.

you can removealias already? And also LEO can toggle off auto alias in the phone settings > game settings so license doesnt auto alias them

you can already use /removealias like Ash said. So idk

I think the entire alias system should be removed entirely, and only show player IDs. If you RP with somebody enough, you’ll be able to recognize them based on their clothes and voice

I completely agree with this to be honest, but pushed it down a little to make it less controversial lol

This. The alias system is absolute garbage, shouldn't exist, and is really proof of the server's non-serious roleplay. I'm fine with IDs showing, because it's needed for reports. But as you said, if you RP with somebody enough, you will be able to recognize them.

they changed it ages back where IDs and aliases were not visible unless you held alt or some shit, then everyone whined like little bitches about it.

The needing IDs for reports thing was way over-complained about, I was admin at the time and through staff tools and logs you could see who shot someone as long as there was a timestamp. there was maybe a tiny handful of reports that couldnt be resolved due to not being able to get identification, and this was when reports were significantly higher than they are now.

I personally would rather not have anything above head other than new player, if not that then just IDs or at least a removeallalias command so i can reset all mine so i just see IDs. if you're memorable enough i'll remember you, if you look and act like generic npc then i wont remember lol

I wish my brain had the memory to remember people's character models. Unless I ran only FPV VR It'd be near impossible for me.

I think the best option would be to make it toggle-able for the client to display other people's names. If you don't want their alias showing up, no worries. I do, so I can just keep it toggled on. This also helps for people with multiple characters that share the same voice.

Agreed. /hidehud true works great but it also hides a bunch of shit like phone. I think ideal would be a command to hidealias/hideid or both so you can show what you prefer

Clean simple solution. +1
