In-Game OOC Titles and Achievements Channel

[Marcuson]

Rias has said more than once that he misses the OOC in-game titles that he could bestow on people, and he's also mentioned an achievements system. I say roll those all into one big blob of a new titles channel. Players who want to see those notifications can leave the channel enabled, and players who don't can disable the channel using the 'channels' command.

I'd also suggest that, in addition to its current functionality, that the 'title' command let you see a list of all players who currently have titles set, as well as allowing you to check a player's titles/achievements. For example:

Code: Select all

> titles Jimbob
Jimbob has earned the following titles:
     "Hold My Beer"
     Tried to Walk on Lava
     "Why did you think this was a good idea?"
     Infirmary VIP

I gave someone a title earlier and it made me sad that it wouldn't be seen by anyone but the recipient. Any reason the announces shouldn't go on #WHO? Titles don't happen often so it shouldn't be a particular distraction, and it'd be one less channel to juggle. Set title could also display on that character's login/logout messages.

I'd love this, personally! I don't see any issue, especially if it's muteable, because some people are party poopers. /pout

Yes please! It would be great!

Speaking from the perspective of a resident party pooper, I don't have any problem with this! It'd be fun, I think.

I'm considering having it go to #GAME as well, though there is a small worry it might bother some people at being "outed" that they're logged in at the moment to the whole #GAME channel. Any thoughts on that?

I'm under-caffeinated today (woe is me in this dreadful state), so I'm having a difficult time imagining the potential problem there. But I personally wouldn't have a problem with that either. I'd enjoy seeing if someone got a title or whatever while I was logged out and unable to receive that information in-game!

I personally would not mind that! But I know one or two players have privacy concerns. But the WHO command kind of circumvents these anyway --- unless you're able to just leave a little device running and be logged in all of the time, so players are none the wiser.

Maybe a prompt to accept or decline an OOC title for formality's sake, would be a decent workaround

[Rias]

Any thoughts on showing titled names in the output of the WHO command? My main concern there is that it might be confusing with screen readers if some usernames are consisting of multiple words when normally they're all just a single world. Can any screen reader users chime in? Would this be an issue?

I’d love this
