Make ID Access checkable in hand/other ID ideas

Post by Falamazeer » #203657

Pretty self explanatory, When you either click an ID in your hand or Shift click to examine an ID it should pop up a list of access's similar to the HoP computers screen, red access are absent, blue access is granted, or whatever, just a list of access's on the ID would be nice.

Also, You should be able to check off your final wishes on it like a drivers licence, organ-doner, Do not Resuscitate, space funeral, Cloned, borged, or given to science for research.

This is a genuinely good idea.

same

checking access is lame because it cucks you if you've stolen all access and been really good about keeping it secret

last wishes are good

i have three other top secret characters as well.

Hmm, I tacked the last part on as a little note, But let's explore it further shall we?
Should already dead characters be allowed to change their 'final wishes'

Just as laid out, not saying people should be allowed to select 'other' and write "GARL GLITTERGOLD IS A TRAITOR!!!1!!1!!11!"

but if we pursued such an option would we allow IDs to be a selecting factor for the undeads re-entry into the round? or is forethought the prime directive for this decision? to be clear I'm asking if we should add a ghost 'verb' that changes your ID to reflect your wishes on your ID.

Should you be able to select your option in character selection just like opting into traitor types and/or PAI personalities?

I didn't really think it through when I said it, my job sadly makes me consider such things which is what made me tack it on as an afterthought, but now I see a lot of potential for it now that it's been highlighted with such enthusiasm.

If you've had your ID stolen, you're already cucked. This argument makes no sense.

It's a magnetic card, what kind of magnetic cards update their visuals to show what you have access to
P.S. Shoot Dr. Allen on sight and dissolve his body in acid. Don't burn it.

I think last wishes works best as a freeform text field (with a character limit). We don't have many preferences that would affect how your corpse should be handled, and even if we did, that might change on a round-by-round basis. Last wishes adds some interesting depths though.

I'd even go so far as to suggest making them persist round to round.

let people write shit on their ID with a pen with DNR requests and so on
do not allow already crit/dead/ghosted people (or anyone not in the state to use a pen) write anything

It could cross-reference with the medical database somehow, so doctors could examine people to see their last wishes ala how sec can (and never does) leave notes on perps.

I think I tried to use the medical records console for like, one round, ever. It's just not useful when most medical stuff gets taken care of in as much time as it takes to get sleepered.

What abuse are you envisioning here?

People revealing their killer, stating the location of their body, that kind of thing.

Whoa, I think we're all just suggesting that it be something you do with a pen while you're alive, not something you can change after you die.

Yeah my ghost suggestion was just trying to see how far down the rabbit hole we wanted to go.
Just the final wishes then.
