Title: Change in /spy
Post by Phobos on 02/17/04 at 21:06:06

when you /spy on the square you are on, it should only show the covert/invisible/camouflaged people. if you wanted to see who else was on the square, you could just look around. you don't need to spy to see that.

I think that'd be better than showing all people in square.

I also do not understand why it would take stamina to use the item. I think it not taking stam would be better, it doesn't take stam to drink pots or look around, why would it take stam to use an item to look?

When the item was first concieved I also didn't agree with the item using stamina, and I still don't.

I think the item is fine exactly how it is.

stamina as time, You can only attack once in one segment of time, and it takes time to search out a whole square.

I don't like how it takes stam to spy (even though I don't have a spyglass) and never understood why it did.. but the 'it takes time to search a whole square' thing makes sense. Nicely put Aidon :P

I always though stam was more effort like...stamina. Time is kind of different, and looking around doesn't take that kind of effort.

-shrugs- things are how they are, I'll just let them be...

Maybe a slight modification could be...
/spy
Eternyte, Gaddy, Tadpole, Kalypso, Soulburn(Hidden) are here with you.

So it shows (Hidden) for the covert/invis/camou players.

What would be the point of that? All that does is flood you with even more crap. If it's going to be changed (which it seems like it won't be) then just make it so it doesn't list visible people.

Title: Re: Change in /spy

Then /spy s wouldn't list non-covert people, which totally defies the object.
