  1. Sup sup.

    So I was wondering, is it possible to see what players have on them such as weapons and purchased items?
    Say you're a spectator and you're wondering if the last traitor has a radar. Well we should be able to see what they have. I'd like to see their HUD too. People always wonder if a remaining T has radar.
    Or see what the detective sees when he is following DNA.

    I think we should also know who the remaining traitors are.

    Makes it easier to ghost without getting punished. Traitor has a t wep in inventory, tell your friend to kill him. In rdm report claim the t had his t weapon out and you saw him.

    Yes. This is what I was thinking. It is a good idea, but can be taken advantage of really easily.
    BUT THIS. THIS IS GOLDEN. I don't see why this would be a problem.

    Part of this is good. The part of the detective dna tracking is great, could be abused but not at much as inventory.

    I'm gonna have to say that if this was something that was staff exclusive, I would like it.

    I remember the old RDM manager where you could see what weapon a person had equipped and any traitor items they had and it was excellent. I'm not sure if the newest version of this has it, but something like being able to see player inventories as a spectating staff member could help!
     
  6. Why the fuck does everyone go on about 'Oh it's used for ghosting don't add it you stupid twat' if people are ghosting they are going to ghost, why the fuck does seeing inventory change any of it? If you are ghosting and you see someone kill someone else, you tell your ghoster fuckbuddy to kill him. I don't see how this, or any other plugin like this can hinder ghosting so +1

    Scenario 1:
    Traitor kills innocent > Ghoster tells his buddy > Buddy kills traitor > traitor reports and claims nobody saw him kill the innocent, etc > Buddy has no valid reason > Suspicion of ghosting > Gets banned.

    Scenario 2:
    Traitor buys harpoon > Ghoster tells his buddy > Buddy kills traitor > Traitor reports for rdm > Buddy claims he saw him with harpoon > Traitor believes he may have switched to harpoon but have no memory of it > Ghoster get's away unpunished.
     
  8. Scenario 3: Ghosters get found out and are banned. If a ghoster kills a random T their excuse will most likely always be T wep wether or not they have one. Your point is invalid.

    I can see now how many more Ghosting cases we would have. Not only that, but ghosters would know what to say to avoid being detected and discovered to be a ghoster. Not a good idea, at all in my opinion.

  10. hmmmmm, all valid points. but people can still ask, hey who's left as traitor? and still tell their friends. so I don't see how this idea will make it any worse than that already.
     
  11. I agree that seeing inventory doesn't give ghosters any benefits, and if they're gonna ghost with this, they'll ghost without it anyways, probably are already doing it if they're here. So what if they argue they saw a weapon out? A ghoster can see the weapon out at one point while spectating and tell his buddy to act like he saw it too. Same thing.
    I can agree that ghosting can occur more often with this idea implemented, but mostly new people will be the ones to do it as they aren't as attached to Serious TTT. Admins and mods can (i think) look at their play time to help weigh credibility. Old timers probably aren't as willing to risk their time put into the server (I'm talking people who literally put hundreds of hours in, I'm at 450 hours myself and I'm not even as old a player as some of these other guys). Not that anyone is excused altogether.

    I can also agree on the rise in ghosters because it would be easier to follow who you immediately know is a traitor and see what he's doing. But I can also counter-argue that its still the same as asking a dead Traitor who's still alive.

  12. It also should be said that as long as we get new people, we're gonna get people who try to lie their way to victory, or to troll. We just gotta find ways to mitigate it. If this idea only makes it worse, we won't implement it.

    Those kind of ghosters are extremely easy to spot though. It's already easy enough to find a ghoster who uses current means of getting information.

    This ^
    Aaaand, if someone ghosts to you, you could, ya know, type this
    @Iliketoghost to You : Event has a knife
    Take a picture of the PM, send it via adminchat again, the staff is going to see the ghoster and ban him. Done.

    Also, +1 to this

  18. 1 Month isn't that long. It hasn't even been a month. People can still chime in on what they think about it.

    Only those who do it constantly and obviously. What if you improperly banned someone for ghosting because of the information given to you? x

    This is just an average amateur ghosting. People who do this smart could get away with it.
