Msato Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 The phone currently provides a "Player is offline" feedback message when a player who you send an IC text to is not logged in at that moment. This is commonly used to Metagame and check if people are online, by sending either blank or almost empty texts to someone, prompting for the OOC message. This feedback line should be removed as it is straight mixing. Example: 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freclan Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I think people should have the option to turn off the notification that allows others to see if they're offline, I find it useful when doing deals with properties/cars to know if the person is in town so I don't have to wait for a text back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Raven Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 +1 the text provides OOC information that can be used IC'ly. Whatever little benefit this feature has is outweighed by the cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTV Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 +100 Also the one that says the phone is off should be removed as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moment Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 The prompt message is definitely defined in OOC terms, in terms of RP would be better without. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 +1, makes complete sense. If anything, change the alert to "message did not deliver right away" just like the phone being off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladypapercrown Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 +1 perhaps rather than ((player is offline)) something similar to "the message didn't deliver right away" could appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWishfire Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Yea not a bad idea. +1 if it were changed to something like IRL where it says "Message not delivered" or something along those lines. Maybe have a mechanic in the phone to check if the message has been delivered? Edit: All together though if not it should just be removed.
