"Slay me" button.

It would be nice for when no mods are on (for those of us who think of ourselves as respectable players) to have an option to slay ourselves. Considering that typing kill in console supposedly doesn't make up for RDM... Makes more sense to me then waiting till a mod comes on and asking for a slay after, especially if it's like 3am and you need to sleep and then get banned for RDM and leave...

It could just be an option when you get reported, maybe a little box that you checkmark before responding to the report.

 

+1/-1. The reason for the -1 is that I don't think people would actually use it. For the +1 it's a good idea.

 

This actually sounds like it'd be a worthwhile command to implement. That way, if you ever RDM with no staff on and a staff member who is going through the past logs sees this, we can also see you slew yourself.

Command: ulx slayme - or - !slayme in chat

Only functional when no staff are on, adds a slay to your record and adds a log of you slaying yourself to the damagelog. To be done the round after you RDM someone.

 

Majority of people won't even use it. A lot of people who RDM without staff RDM for the heck of it, and why the hell would they slay themselves if they do it for fun?

 

Everyone RDM's. You do it, I do it, and the next person does it. Most of the time it's an accident but we still do it. A good regular would use this command a lot. I guarantee it. If someone comes to "RDM for the heck of it" that's another story. Think about this, wouldn't it be nice to not get banned for 5 days? The answer is "hell yes".

 

I'd use this, +1, I would even code it(it would probably take me an hour to debug it) but yeah, gg please add, it will make me happy.

As I said, it would be nice for us respectable players to have this. I've console killed myself many times before when there was no mods on (with permission to do so from the person I rdm'd, of course), and I feel like it would be nice to just have it be implemented as a self slay so that mods checking the logs can see you did it, in your response to the report on you they an see you chose the "slay me" button, and other members can see "secret_dog will slay themself next round", and "secret_dog was slain".

The idea here isn't to make everyone slay themselves when they RDM with no staff on, the idea is just to give the option to do so for those of us who would actually do it. I've met lots of respectable people on the SeriousTTT servers who would do it. And it would keep arguments down when there's no staff on, revenge RDM down, and even make the report section on the forum smaller (even if by just one report).

I believe creating a self slay function is a lot more reliable and worthy of doing than having members wait until a mod comes on, and then ask for slays (which correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the current system for when no staff is on, right?). I don't really believe anyone is going to wait for a mod to come on and ask for a slay after... People forget, people stop caring, etc. I'm suggesting an option which is faster, more efficient, and doesn't require staff.

And as for all the little assholes who come in to RDM for fun when there's no staff on, well, they can just continue to be banned. There's no pleasing those people.

 

I'm not too sure if your title as Developer is connected to things like this, but if it is, how difficult would it be to implement this?

 

It wouldn't be hard. It checks if the user is "Mod" "Admin" "Lead Admin" "Developer" "Owner" if that ~= true then it will allow the command.

scripting the command won't be hard. (shouldn't) I'm no master, though. I have a good idea on how it works.

I think it is like
Table = {"Mod", "Admin", "Lead Admin", "Developer", "Owner"}
if player.UserGroup ~= Table then
end

 

@secret_dog @LegoGamerGuy
It'd have to check to see if any staff are on, if there are it stops. If there isn't any on, it should ask for them to confirm. Once they confirm, it marks them to be slain the next round with the normal !slaynr command. Should be simple.

 

So maybe you can put an icon on the RDM manager and then leave a button for you to be slain? If the players are honest, then they can get off with a light punishment. If they're not honest, then the victim can make a report on the forums and then the 5 day ban would be active.

This may work out.

 

Lol I'd want this. Back when I had the power to do it myself I tended to overslay myself to keep players calm at times. Being able to do it with no staff on would be nice if someone complains that they were RDMed, and it can control street justice. Actually I wouldn't mind if everyone had self slay power even while staff are on, with staff still having the power to remove the slays if abused.

 

How would it deal with second and third offenses, etc. ?

 

I would use.

 

Have a box to be filled in for the number of slays.

 

Ehhh, honestly I'm not too into the second and third offence rules. I see no point, really. If someone will follow the rules enough to slay themselves every time they RDM with no staff on, then I think it should be fine to allow themselves not to ban themselves for 5 days if they do it four times, you know?

Everyone makes mistakes, I don't think it's necessary to slay people more than needed, especially if it was accidental. And if the RDM was on purpose, well I doubt that they would choose to slay themselves anyways.

I don't really want to get into my opinions on the multiple offences rule in this thread, but yeah. I don't think it should exist...

 

+1 +1 +1

 

+1

99% of the time i RDM its complete accident and i ask to be slain anyways, this would be a cool feature to add, i would definitely use it.

 

+1

This would be a great feature for all the honest players who are willing to recognize and own up to their mistakes. As for the offenses, I think those should be reserved for the players who RDM intentionally and won't admit their wrongdoings by placing the slay on themselves. Still, I can understand if you need to uphold whatever offense system is currently in place.
