Rejected: Royal Edict / Decree
« Topic Start: September 27, 2016, 06:10:20 PM »
I'd like to see a new message type for rulers to use when making official announcements to the realm. Maybe give it gold background for DECREE in the same fashion that reports are blue and orders are red, etc.

gold would get confused with RPs. Outer Tilog votes for white. That way even those illegal literate scribes can't read it.

What's wrong with Orders that rulers need a specific colour?

Well, I kinda see that.
Rulers don't always issue orders, but rather pass important information. (Good) Rulers are usually the people who inform the entire realm on policies, foreign affairs, news from all around the continent, etc. I'd appreciate it if they could give their messages a special colour.
But I guess it's not super important.

Usually you see generals and marshals send out orders. People just use important messages as orders. But when they overlap, you just see a wall of red messages. I think giving a ruler a different colored letter may help with that.

I use "report" when i report things... "order" when i order things... "request" when i request things... Not totally understanding why there is need for somekind of extra message?

Is there really realms which are so filled with messages that rulers report would go unnoticed?

Not really in favour of another type of message.

I am, considering I am in realms with upwards of 40 messages regularly.

...40 messages per what?

If it's less frequently than "per hour", then I don't see a problem.

That's a fairly facetious answer, given some players only have 10 minutes a day to spend on BM.
If you only have so much time and several characters in active realms, you only read personal messages and coloured messages.
