Hidden threads in politics

[f0xx]

Lets say I lead an ally of people who I've never played with before and there are 3-4 people amongs them who are skilled and I know I can trust. I want to be able to create threads which can be read only by them.

The creation of the threads will be very simple, it will happen with a tickbox just like the "sticky - " and the "officers may post only - [O]" threads. The tickbox can be "Hidden - [H]" and only people with the ability to read hidden threads will be able to read/post in such threads.

Thank you.

I like this idea, it would be very useful in an alliance with less experienced people, where the leader can discuss with his officers things that need to be sorted- attacks/activity of members/replacements etc.

How would you have the 'trusted people' chosen f0xx; would it be an officer's read only or would there be an option somewhere for the leader to list IDs who can read it?

he's going to put names in a hat and whatever his penis touches will decide who to trust.


i don't like the idea because he keeps leaving my name outta the hat


otherwise tis not a bad idea and probably would be something akin to player notes/friend listings.

In the new age changes Azzer mentioned that leaders will be able to give different priviledges to whoever they decide. This is just one more priviledge.

Yes, should definitely be an added option to the "privilege" list.

I very much support this idea. Saves having to use PMs in awkward three way convserations or requiring IRC or MSN contact. Nice one.

Re: Hidden threads in politics

If i remember right, Azzer was working on allowing the leader to give permisions to each member. Like see online members, last refreshed, view politics, send HQ troops to any members he sees fit.
He could also code a bit more advanced of this idea giving them a viewing level for politics. Say levels would be 1-5 and on creation you can change the level of your thread from 1 (default) to a higher one that can only be seen by members with that level. Not sure if it's needed but instead just 2 options you'd have more.

For example set all personal(kinky) threads to level 2 and allow all your current members to see them. When a new recruit joins he gets level 1 politics view to access attack/defence threads and later he might be allowed in the more intimate area In the same time your trusty diplomats can have a separate thread on level 3 with the current relations with other allies, on level 4 Leader with his right hand(s) make attacking plan.

Re: Hidden threads in politics

There is a "permission level" too, that the leader can set - a number between 0 and 255. This is the leader's way fo prioritising members... eg a guy with level 100 and kick ability, cannot kick a guy with level 101.

I may be able to work this in to the thread system - perhaps an option to create a thread at a specific level, and anyone below that level simply cannot see or take part in that thread. It's added to the list and can always be added in during the first round of Age 5 if not before then, as it's a nice idea and I can see it being useful.

I personally do not remember it and if what you are saying is true then I apologise, I do not wish to steal anyone's idea, I just want to improve tha game.

Also, when you say things like that it is nice to use actual prooves, like a link to the original thread/suggestion.

Re: Hidden threads in politics

lol i noticed that too, i think its because the first few people said no, so others follow suit

but i have to be honest i dont like azzers new idea, i love "different levels get different privilages" but i think that making it so that 101 can kick 100, is ludacrist what happens when someone in the all with say 100 gets pissed at someone who has 50, for something stupid and decides KICK!

not a good idea IMO at all
