AGN: PS Chat - Outfit Roundtable - Page 3

I agree with the Vulcan on this one.

Don't like the idea of a blacklist, but I do like the idea of flagging yourself looking for an outfit.

You probably can, there are ways to find folks who meet your needs in game. Outfit/squad leaders can search for folks who meet certain criteria.

VegetaVarnay · 2003-02-23, 05:14 PM

So when will the Outfit Leaders be notified if they are going to be apart of the Roundtable.

Marsman · 2003-02-23, 06:21 PM

We're going to take requests for participation in the upcoming Planetside Chat: Outfit Rountable until Monday. So if your Outfit wants to participate - get myself or Hamma a FORUM pm no later than Monday. The final list will be posted shortly after.
There have been 20 requests so far, only 3 are TR, half dozen or so NC and VS, some undeceided and some all 3 - the latter two I hadn't considered in my initial thinking or 3 to 4 per empire. We will probably bump up the total count to account for these catagories.

So, if outfits have a big problem with a certain person, his/her name could be posted on this "blacklist", and the details could be made available to anyone who genuinely wanted to find out about them. This would be useful for outfits wanting to check up on the history of a recruit - to make sure they won't do anything untrustworthy.

Well strangely enough this tends to happen amongst guilds/clans/outfits without building in a mechanism in game to manage it. I've been in plenty of RPG guilds that would keep a formal list of people they had trouble with and why. Most times it was just a special thread in the outfits private forums, sometimes it was something else.

I really don't think the devs should worry about building an in-game mechanism for it though.

I would have to agree with Mike here. heh, someone who doesent belong could end up on that list and end up with a bad experience in game.

Where if outfits and squads keep their own list, at least this person is not known to the entire empire if its a mistake :x

Agreed, I have been blacklisted by a guild because one one persons twisted sense of morals, that I apparently broke. The guild itself was rude to me in any form of contact, when I did something that a majority of people would have considered perfectly fine. Official in game blacklists sounds like a bad idea.

I wasn't really thinking "in game" - more something which say, psu could do.

MrVulcan · 2003-02-24, 12:02 PM

I just wonder how many people will join the outfits that will be in the chat? This would be major publicity for them

VegetaVarnay · 2003-02-25, 12:28 PM

Well Mars I can tell you I am one of the VS members that pmed you. It will be interesting to see who gets chosen. Looking forward to seeing that list

I would really love to see Select Few in that chat, we could use the star-moment to really show others what kind of gaming group we have to offer, not just PS, but other games as well.

The new site is done guys, take a look, enjoy! =)
