SOP idea?: absolute references in full server

**Wyzcrak** · 06-13-2005, 11:39 AM

I've had dumb ideas before, so you guys let me know if this is another one for the list.

In a large game, I think the entire team takes value from parties referring to each other by title and/or role. With shell shock, planes buzzing overhead, and everything else that's crazy in this game, sometimes it just saves precious time.

"Wyzcrak is now GAMMA leader."
NOT: "I'm squad leader."

"Commander, GAMMA needs artillery at middle beach!"
NOT: "Black, we need artillery here!"

"Paddles to the rear!" (the things I say for this game.....)
NOT: "I'm dead and need a medic!"

"Support to beach!"
NOT: "DON, cover the beach!"

Maybe I'm not being clear, but my goal is to make it so that everyone hearing the communication knows absolutely what is happening -- no contextual knowledge is required. My argument is that this instant and complete comprehension is necessary when the action is full-on.

There are exceptions to the above, but I think we'd all take value from adopting this as general practice when 60+ people are involved.

Roger that! (eek!)

Um, no, seriously this is not a bad idea. Also since grids are not readily available we need to designate the different spawn points with names so people know where to go. I mean some are already established by way of surrounding items like the "hotel, the crane, etc."

I think another thing you said was:
"Observe when Custom crouches with his head at my waste, I regain health!"

**Wyzcrak** · 06-13-2005, 02:22 PM

lol... yeah... it was bad...

lol oh man,

I really enjoyed playing in your squad that night. I tried some others but it just wasn't Wyzcrak's :P You lead the team well, look forward to playing with you again

That was halarious wyz. Not what you said but that fact there was an enemy medic laying prone right next to you and you did nothing. After you left I whipped out the knife and finshed him.
