Author Topic: Limited MERP chat  (Read 1078 times)

Hello everyone. I was thinking of some way to shoo away metagamers in my HL2TTRPG, when I thought; hey, why not have a merp chat with limited range?

And thats what I'm asking you guys for. A limited MERP chat.
The chat works like this:
Local Announcements have an limited range, so battles are more isolated, and newcomers to the battle are going to have a tough time choosing.
And, why not make world-wide MERP announcements? How those work is basically the same thing as the normal MERP chat, but lags in time due to the distance of the player. Now, this will add immersion for those Colonial MERPS or for any other era with limited communication.
An actual commerce feature. Now, some people may be event wizards and use a clock feature for this, but for some, that will be a little difficult. Basically, how this works is you get money over time, the time can be set by the host or an SA by an individual player/empire. Now, this can be used to trusted players in your server as well, which I will get to later.
Remove an empire. Tired of people making joke empirenames? Maybe the host can do something about it!
Trusting players. This may seem strange to some, but these are for players who can be trusted with the commands, therefore giving sort of a moderator complex to the player, as they can switch around there own commerce, and that jazz.

I think that is all I can think of. Maybe you can give suggestions?

Why not use one of the RPChats? I have tried at least two and they both work well.

i believe there's a sort of radio mod that does something along these lines, but i can't remember the proper title or who made it.
