Kai Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Currently, if you're trying to get in touch or leave a message for an owner of a house, its impossible if you dont know who it is. Having a way you can leave a message where they are alerted in chat (similar to ticket system maybe) would be extremely beneficial to the server, property owners, buyers as well as friends. You'd get this notification as you enter your home, that way there is no metagaming and may encourage people to check their home and mail more often. This would certainly help with people trying to purchase houses or any other needs of contact. Theres an argument for further information, however I dont think there should be names, phone numbers or emails so that owners can remain anonymous.

What does that even mean? Why even make mention of a method if its illegal or immoral? Are you simply inferring about asking around until you find out the owner? Or do you mean searching the address on the forums until you find a possible match? Its only meta gaming if I use that OOC information in an IC context.

My suggestion, in my opinion, makes this whole system much much better. It allows people to leave messages without having to know the owner. As mentioned in OP - its better to not necessarily declare the owner too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopop Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 +1 means you can also send them warrants to their home muwahahahaha In all actuallity sure why not? Even though mail is so uncommon now with paper less I only check my mail every couple days unless im expecting something, and its usually just all junk ads...maybe you could pay to have fliers mailed to homes too like weazel ads, dunno just kicking ideas back and worth.

Jonaseriksen07 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 +1 Sounds like a cool idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THNDR Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 +1, You could stand youside the door and do /mail [message], and when the owner enters. He/she would then do /checkmail to get the mails up to the chat. My idea is that they would work like tickets. Meaning they see this in the chat: Mails: [ID 1] : Hey interested in selling the house? Text me at 123456789 The owner could then use the command /clearmail [ID] to clear them from the chat. There should be a limit to i.e 5-10 mails until your mailbox is full. The idea of having advertisements would be great. Maybe add it to the postal services or even create a new scripted job? Leave you thoughts on this please !

And anything placed could only be accessed by the house owner E menu at the door? This is almost exactly how I pictured it in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoza Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Greetings, this can now be accomplished using GoPostal mailboxes. Get a note. Write note. Send. /sendmail? Postal Worker Accept Job (from address, not business) /vieworders Go to Mailbox /collectmail? Travel to location. /delivermail When you're at home, /checkmail (I'll update these commands as soon as I'm in game.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
