Not having been able to find a definitive answer yet if /tells to enemy empire factions will be in PS2 we can play around with the idea a bit in a thread I feel.
Firstly, to those that didn't play PS1, in it you could /tell any player, there was an /ignore feature but no /anon. Besides, putting ordinance down kinda announces you're about anyway.
Now you maybe thinking all this lead to was empire spying, and there was some of that, but what it mostly lead to was the hate tell. Which evoked various responses in people, some liked having it in game, others didn't.
I, personally, never sent them but did sometimes delight in getting them (never got that many being an average FPSer, but Suppressors/Radiating BFR pilots could annoy people nicely) and occasionally further winding up the person who sent it. On Werner we had a particularly infamous player for them by the name of "Cupid" we all liked to imagine them with high blood pressure and popping veins in their neck.
The spying aspect of them in PS2 will be rather pointless anyway, should they make it in, with the apparent ease of "fourth-empiring" via second/third accounts.
So er....few questions. If you're an old PS1'er. Did you send 'em? Did it bother you when you got 'em?
If you're not an old PS1'er. How would you feel about them being in game in PS2? Would you send 'em? Would it bother you to get 'em?
