Newplayer Detector

Post by NoahKirchner » 14 Dec 2016, 17:30

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Replace the current staff verb for finding new players (which does not work), with a working version.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It would allow mentors to find new players easier who may be wandering the Sulaco with no direction (which I see a lot)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): There is currently a verb that, by its name, shows that it should find new players who have been playing for under a day, under a week, under a month etc. It does not currently work, and after asking free about it, it doesn't work due to something that could not be re-enabled (I do not know the specifics). My suggestion is to add a feature with similar functionality, so that when you press the verb it can show players currently online who have played for less than a day, less than a week, or less than a month. I do not know how much coding this uses, but I know byond already records when a player first joined the server, so it seems possible.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding, possibly an absurd amount.

+1 Seems helpful, I'm always iffy on whether or not to call a mentor down to a player.
I play Aria Vivici. I think people like me. I'm not sure why.
