Seph's Suggestions Options

[Seph]

-Separate sexes for avatars
-"Custom" avatars that we can upload
-DogProxy, INTEGRATED AS PART OF FURCADIA instead of being a third-party program made by Sanctimonious.
-More codes for DS
-Multiple Furcadia servers that can be accessed at the same time (IE: Server 1 for OOC and Server 2 for IC)
-Less helper beekins, more channeler beekins. It annoys me when I see that anyone with an email address can get a Beekin tag, and yet, whenever I ask the help channel for something, no one's there, no one answers me with 5 minutes, or the person responding is incompetent.
-Whatever happened to that patch contest Talzhemir had? I was looking forward to that so we could get some new patches made, but I never saw anything get finalized, other than her website about it.
-A way of "spying on" furres, to monitor twinks, as well as Beekins and Owsla who flaunt their badges and abuse their priviledges. I suppose this spy-feature could also be good for taking a peep at some of the yiffers in Furcadia, but I'll leave it up to Felorin what he wants to do with it.
-An EFFICIENT way of keeping track of rule-infractions and offenses, other than, "I'M GOING TO TELL SHADOWBORN, AND HE'LL WRITE SOMETHING IN NOTEPAD ABOUT YOU!"
-A way of editing how Furcadia looks. Some people despise all of the confusing buttons, and prefer the "old-school" look of only a few buttons.
-Being able to hold numerous objects at the same time.
-Where's Talzhemir's roleplaying system? I was told by Kinetic Sage that he was working on a campaign to start up Dragonlands again, as well as unify all roleplaying guilds, but once again, it seems as though the Furcadia staff cared more about making her work on "new, pretty avatars", rather than other things that, I believe, were more important.
-Portrait Space that can be bought, and changed, without having to pay again..
-I'm still waiting for someone to change the "phoenix flame." I was told a while ago that the current animation was only temporary, but that doesn't seem true..
-Why do we choose spots, stripes, blotches, or plain in our character creation? It's never used for anything? It would be neat to be able to customize our avatar's fur-type.
-Midis on the main map, like it was back in "Old" Furcadia

There's probably more stuff, but I can't think of it off-hand right now.

*Applauds all of it except the spying can be a bit to much*

I definitely agree with about..well, most of what you said    I would like to see some unity with the roleplaying...I think we definitely need some more rp areas or we need to work on the ones we have.  I would LOVE to see Dragonlands up and full!

Can monitoring somebody on Furcadia be considered invasion of privacy? o.O;  They'res always going to be the lower level Role Players, who don't know how to Role Play correct, as you call twinks. Than they'res the middle class where people are developing better skills at RPing. Than they'res the high level where the well RPers are and then they'res the extreme level, where.. wow.. It's pretty hard to describe.. they're just THAT good.. o.o;

[Guest_Crimson Leopard_*]

Oh, yeah. I forgot to add.. What about difference in genders with Furcadia models because I don't like the idea that the male and females look the same. e.e;

[Saji]

Different sex's has already been thought of and discarded.  It was deemed more important to have many different species rather than two sex's for only one or two.  This was due to mostly a size restraint on the Furcadia download.

Custom avatars would present a lot of trouble.  What if someone decided to make themselves into a giant black sheet, which could cover up many squares?  There could be ways around this, along with other problems with the idea, but it probably would not be worth the trouble.  Plus, for those with slower modems, what would happen if someone with a custom avatar came into view? would they go all laggy while the dled it, or would the person be invisable until they did?

More code for DS is constantly in the works, just look at the last update, which added many lines.

Where are they going to get the money for these seperate servers for IC and OOC?  And how would people switch between them?  It would probably add more complexity to the entire process of loging in and finding your friends.  Better to have a designated IC and OOC areas in ONE server.

The problem with getting more channeler beekins, is that there is no way to do that.  It is a volunteer program, you cant just go out and hire more.

People who are twinks, or are owsla/beekins and abuse their power usually get shut down pretty fast.  Spying on them would probably just inspire more ranting about the 'corrupt' owsla/creators of Furcadia.

A better way of keeping track of infractions would be useful.

Why does it matter how furcadia looks?  It's not like you have to use the buttons, and they don't imped you in any way... what's the problem?

I do believe that Talzhemir has been working on a new RP area, check this out:
http://www.realtime.net/~pixel/camarilla/

The portrait space will perhaps be like that in the future.  Take the wings for example.  For a long while you could only buy them for a year, now you can buy them for a lifetime, and there is a new type out as well.  This means that the way you buy portrait space could change in the future as well.

I believe the stripes, blotches, etc was a feature that was going to be implemented, but never was, and was never taken out.  I could be totally wrong on that though.  Perhaps one of the problems with it would be that it would be not just changing the color of your fur, but how it actually looks, which may require an entirely different avatar.  I could be totally wrong on that point though.

Well, that's my 2-cents =D

Dear ...,

*Coughs.* All good suggestions, alas, easier said than done.

I'd love to see some conformity in roleplaying, though! It'd be nice if there was at least -some- rules, even for freeform. Half the furres I hear from think they don't know how to freeform... It's, uhm, acting. Well, and some charging and turns... Blah, blah...

D R A G O N L A N D S !

Aime,

Just my silly little thoughts on a few of your ideas,

-Separate sexes for avatars
~That would be nice.

-"Custom" avatars that we can upload
~That wouldn’t be to bad but I’m sure it would be another 10, bucks and would only take effect once someone clicked on you, because I for one don’t want to be bogged down with lag on a main map because I have to download every furrys avatar.

-INTEGRATED DogProxy
~Only thing Dogproxi has to offer is telling when furrys are online. Stoping you from timing out goes against what the programmers want, I’m sure they would have taken it out ages ago when they uped the time from like 10 minutes(if I remember correctly) to 30.

-Multiple Furcadia servers
~There would always be IC and OOC cross over so one server lets you talk with your IC and OOC friends at once.

-Spying on furres
~Montering any furry would be an invasion of privacy. Report with log any Beekin or Owsla who sbuse their badge to someone higher in the food chain and they will get a talking to.

-Being able to hold numerous objects at the same time.
~Heck yes.

-Where's Talzhemir's roleplaying system?
~*shrugs* I'm not sure. Could it be the new set of “Furry!” rules?

-Why do we choose spots, stripes, blotches, or plain in our character creation?
~I think it would be nice to see something of it, or just plain get rid of it.

-A way of editing how Furcadia looks. Some people despise all of the confusing buttons, and prefer the "old-school" look of only a few buttons.

-You can allready do this.. just edit the buttons.fsh in your fsheditor..  i found out that if you leave an image blank you can't push on it because it somehow takes the imagearea as a measure to press on. so you can easily remove any buttons you don't want.. Changing them is a bit (a lot) harder cause you need to keep count with the preset places that the buttons are.. i had to redo part of my marbled/pcx because the name moved up 2 pixels .. it'd be nice if those things could be changed.. as well as the sliding bar on the right of the text.. and the bug of the little fur that holds your item would be nice if it was fixed.

[Elisa]

I could definitely agree to most of this, save a few which don't seem necessary.

Your suggestions seem beneficial to Furcadia, as well as more convenient for many of us. Of course, we need to give the staff time. If your ideas get seen, who knows what could happen? They could appear on future updates!

[Gental Soul]

Nope, no way of spying. If someone sees an owsla/beekin misusing their badge, then they need to report it to beekincouncil@furcadia.com and it will be refered to the Roaming Mentors or the group head of the group which the furre is part of. That's what we are there for.

[Leticia]

'conformity in roleplay'?

I find most people that want conformity in roleplay want to force everyone else to play their way.

People will always play different games.

-DogProxy, INTEGRATED AS PART OF FURCADIA instead of being a third-party program made by Sanctimonious.

It has always seemed to me, and more especially with the most recent Furcadia update which can now be set to save your logs for you, that Dog Proxy is used to provide you with things right now that will take a long time to include within the programming of the game itself. :csmile: But then again, I could be wrong. Maybe Sanctimonious just uses it to experiment on all of us, and it's a coincidence that Furcadia recently integrated one of its features. :cwink:

[Tarns Havil]
