Illarion.org

My proposal is as follows:

Since people who try to kill you are unlikely to speak, so that you can't see their ID number, there should be a mechanism in the game that displays the name of the person as soon as they attack a PC. This should cut down the number of unpunished attacks.

Hit F12... This should solve the matter.

Personally, I don't have enough time to read ID's when I am trying to not die.

Maybe the log function can help, if the attackers say something.

That is what I am saying, most attacker's DON'T say anythong, so that they can avoid punishment.

People who kill you are likely to say #me slashes his blades at the man.

If someone doesn't do that, printscreen it to see their number and paste it in ms paint, then you can report them.

In most situations, people who are immature enough to attack someone without speaking, will 9/10 times do it to other people they see, they usually always get caught by at least someone.

In case one really kills your without any emote thats clearly not allowed.

Its enougth to report to one of the GMs the time when that happend and your character who got killed. Then we are able to trace who attacked.

What if there is more then one person, but only ne of them is attacking you? Then you won't know which number is which.

Then the logs will clearly show who attacked you.

But the logs only work if the one who attacked you speaks.

Then it's a rulebreak and if you're killed you tell a gm and they can check who killed you, if you're not killed you printscreen their number and report them to a gm.

But you can't really use print screen if there is more than one person around at the time.

The Illarion-server logs what you are doing. So, when you kill a pig, the Illarion-server knows and remembers that. So, when somebody PKs you without a reason, you can ask a nice staff member to have a look into these logs, saved on the Illarion-server. To make the search easier, you should include the time and date you got PKed.

All in all, I see absolutely no reason to install auto-emotes like "#me attacks".

I'd have thought a personal emote like

Someone12345 is attacking you!

Would be a good idea, but then it'd need to be turned off

If you die it can be tracked. Otherwise, printscreen when a sword graphic is above the person's head. Plus, I'm sure you'll remember which one attacked you.
