Topic: Public info among family

Hi

I think it would be quite easy , and useful to make it possible to make some of your account pages&info public to given fam members.
e.g there could be a page with all the player names in your fam, and checkboxes after their names. you could then select a page from drop down menu(HQ,Council,planet list etc) an use checkboxes to show which players see that page.

currently everyone copy paste their account info, planet lists, how FB they are etc to forums and its pretty bad way to do it imo.

what do you think


ps: other players could only see your pages, not edit them.

Re: Public info among family

good suggestion, would make leading ALOT less timeconsuming, make it easier to lead fams, and thus making more competative families!!!

Re: Public info among family

Re: Public info among family

Basicly the posibility of viewing, and only viewing the fam members empire

Re: Public info among family

it could be implemented the way you can only view the info of players who are actually voting you leader, it makes sense

Re: Public info among family

I like that, maybe not only to leader... the checkbox thing, since there are res/bank/attacker relationships this could ease as well.

Re: Public info among family

Naturally, not all members should know, spies are a regular occurance.

Re: Public info among family

I disagree. This totally take away from the concept of needing to work as a team. Part of working as a team is communicating with each other. If a leader is unaware of what a member of the family is doing, then it is their fault for being a poor leader. Regardless of how adamant someone is about working by themselves, it is the leader's job to get them to work as part of the family.

Re: Public info among family

the concept of working as a team stays exactly the same, all that is lost is tedious and constant copy pasting fam pages, cluttering the forums and wasting time on adding together how much stuff fam produces, etc.

Im pretty sure there were people saying that recalling all units by type, was a bad feature since it takes away so much clicking, but i think it was super improvement.


The point is, that all games should be easy to play....not tedious. so players could concentrate on playing rather than working around the shortcomings of the game.
The fact that there are programs for making planet lists, and sites for analyzing fam news etc, also shows that players want more. and if those features dont come into ic, they are added to somewhere else.

Re: Public info among family

good job needle

I think it has reached the time to realise this game is old and complex, and any new player really liking the game will agree with these improvements, right now its almost all copy+paste on a text based game.

All the external tools developed for IC actually make this game looking 'professional' not an amateur pew pew game, right now only players liking strategy will love this game at 1st sight.

We must realise most of the new players try some days, maybe a full round, and they leave as they arrived, but those liking strategy sure gonna love it and stay, and then they join the community (wich is the definitive step for a new player to be part of IC). People who dont mind to read a good strategy post, battle reports, intel reports, etc.. not most of young players, but some of those young players that are somewhat smart, cause anyone actually playing this game show a inteligence superior to media (well we have some exceptions hehe tongue I wont post names).

Undeath your point is reasonible the way you say 'all this years doing stuff manually and now new players will have many comodities I never had', well, its called progress mate wink

also, I'd like to add a new idea related to this post, it is easy --> add a button in infils reports to automathically post the report in family forum, then you only have to use silenz.org optionally, cause the report is already posted.
