New way to communicate?

[Kilik]

This just randomly poped into my mind, though i might share it even though it might not even be that great.

Its like narrating but you send it to only a group of people you want to hear it. You could have somone make a channel and adds people to it.

HP:Healthy MV:Fresh >

create channel

Channel created!
------------------------------
accept chase

Accepting Chase

<then chase would have to type join and it would say this>

Chase added!
-------------------------------
channel list

People in your channel~

Vurek
Chase
Druss

---------------------------

dischannel druss

Druss kicked was kicked off the channel!

----------------------------

gs lets go smobbing <....gs meaning group speak or group say

You tell the group 'lets go smobbing'

----------------------------

delete channel

Channel deleted!

----------------------------

of course you can only be part of 1 channel at a time, this kind of channel can prevent murders and trolls from hearing smobs

I can see it now. I would never get invited to a channel and i would get flamed on all the time . Poor Little Gristlyn all alone. No one inviting him to their channel. Well you know what. I don't need yall. Im gunna form my own channel and invite myself. Then all yall will wish you could join my channel (the cool channel) but guess what!? I WONT INVITE YOU! MWAHAHAHAHAHA

lol

think its too much for this mud? considering there not too many people.

[Trin]

not enough people.

I could see that idea being really cool when we get more players. It would definitely make small group PK more viable, as you'd be able to communicate without alerting the entire playerbase. Too bad that really isn't an issue right now.

[Guest]

Hey Gristy, I'd invite you. It'd be just like old times... we could come up with some more acronyms for use in PK, such as TIT (Tic In Ten).

That of course requires that I start playing on a regular basis again, and what with my connection being firewalled to hell and back, I get 30+ seconds of output freeze sometimes.

[Vurek]

Is cool, but as gristlyn said in a very serious way this could easily turn nasty and whatnot.

For now I'm just sticking with tells, everytime I narrate something relative to smobbing etc trolls pop out of nowhere, and I'm still not too happy about the other day how an IMM sent a tell to Gristlyn causing him to go 2n when he was blocking 1n for a critical vurek.

Narrates are cool, but they keep seeming to change things more and more when I really think they shouldnt.

[Ravir]

Would be cool in a perfect world, but somehow I see some kind of highschool clique thing going on, where people won't invite others into the group etc, which most likely will push people to leave the mud.

Besides, muds are made to be social right?

Stock Circlemud does come with a gtell. Where whoever you are groupped with gets the tell. That way you dont have segregated social groups Ravir

[Ravir]

I do know of this feature, but I believe the original idea was something more on the lines of some kind of IRC type channel.

Not sure if I'd be too keen on the gtell command, however it would have it's maluses; like having to stay grouped.
