Rejected: Royal Edict / Decree

[Shulee]

Is this a solution in search of a problem?

I have no problems with people missing my decrees, and we're busily & happily at war. Perhaps use fewer words and send out fewer non-essential messages as ruler?

Fewer non-essential messages as ruler? Bs, send out more!

@Chenier, problem with report is that it's not visible under the quickplay. For now we'll have to use orders I suppose. (When I see I mean others as I have no ruler left atm).

To be honest, though, "decrees" are not really something I would figure should be shown in quickplay anyways. Examples that come to my mind aren't really stuff that a player absolutely needs to see before TC occurs, which is what quickplay is for.

ok ok ok


Instead of a new message type, can rulers get a sort of "Standing Decree" similar to a Judges standing orders? Players in Xavax have been overwhelmed by the amount of activity and it would be nice to, instead of answering the same questions over and over, I could simply add/update/remove a standing Royal Decree.


When I say overwhelmed, I mean players missed a few days and came back to 500+ messages.

There *is* a Ruler's Bulletin. I don't think there's any such thing as a "judge's standing orders", just a Judge's Bulletin.

[Zakilevo]

Oh. Using ruler's bulletin might not be a bad idea.

Maybe it should have a purple background! With gold letters!

[Vita`]

If the bulletin is not enough room for text, you can always link to a wiki page with more info. And make *that* purple and gold, if you so care.

[JeVondair]

I meant to write a "General's" standing orders, lol

[Vita`]

I don't think they do? They have a General's Bulletin. You may be thinking of the marshal/vice-marshal standing orders. As far as I know, those are the only 'standing orders' within the game.

[JeVondair]

You're absolutely right, what was I thinking?


Its been so long since I've held either title I mustve forgotten


SO yeah, can we do something like that but for rulers?

[GundamMerc]

I would highly agree with this. Hardly anyone looks at the Ruler Bulletin, and you're likely to miss that it's been updated if you're scrolling through 500+ messages. Ruler standing decree would be nice.

I'm thinking only GX has this problem right now

There are occasions in other realms where messages would drown out the notice of the Ruler bulletin changing, and you don't know whether it was an actual change or just someone correcting grammar or spelling.

Oh do not get me wrong, I don't think the bulletins are actually read by many people. At least not by me or the realms I am in. Nor do I think they are frequently updated (again, guilty as well).

Heh, the ruler bulletin of Outer Tilog hasn't been updated since it was updated by Lich King on 2004-12-27 (but that was a conscious choice by the players in OT  ). It's older than a couple of my kids!
