New Config Option

Post by Natasha » Tue May 31, 2005 8:53 pm

I had a neat idea for a new config option. Config + or - awards.

This option would make it so that you could set your Account to choose whether or not to accept kismet awards from other players. Instead of receiving the kismet award for good RP, a message would be given to the awarder that says, "This player is not recieving awards, but has been notified of your praise," or something of the likes. Then the awardee gets the message that someone attempted to reward them. IMM rewards would still work how they do now.

What would the purpose of this be?

If it is an Account that has a very large amount of kismet... large enough that the player no longer feels a need for more, they will not drain kismet from lower kismet players who still seek to reward people. This way people would be more likely to try rewarding someone, and as well makes it so if it's someone who already has enough, allows the first player to keep their kismet but still display the immense appreciation of a kismet award, since the person generally isn't sure if the person they are rewarding allows rewards or not.

Ideas?

I like this.....for me its not about getting the kismet but the actual warm fuzzy feeling that I get when I know someone enjoyed my rp. :)

I wholeheartedly agree with this idea. I think that it is reasonable and well thought out, and that it is quite simple in its design. Whether or not it is something that can be implemented, we will have to wait for the admins to decide. But you have my vote, m'dear! :)

I also agree, but if I remember, there were ideas being trown around in another part of the forum where you could only lvl up with use of the kismet rewards. IF both are implemented, there should be a warning like 'Turning off your acceptance of kismet will not allow you to level up.'

:-D

This is where the kismet=lvl was.
