davidsev Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 403	It would be nice if we could attach messages to mines and nicks etc. As it stands, I can mine the hell out of a rival, but other than sending them a pmail, there is no way to tell them why / gloat. by davidsev about 1 month ago \| Permalink
chetyre Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1265	I might be making this up, but I think that a long time ago there was a brief period where you COULD attach a message to a mine (not sure about nicks). Why they removed it, who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if it made a comeback in the future. by chetyre about 1 month ago \| Permalink
nieman Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 1212	There's a "taunt" when a person TRIPS your mines.... by nieman about 1 month ago \| Permalink
sylverling Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1598	And also when they trip your Nicks. I dunno. I kind of like random senseless mining. CHAOS. by sylverling about 1 month ago \| Permalink
togmar Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 288	How about puzzlenicks and puzzlemines? If you get the answer right, the mine doesn't go off, or the nick doesn't work. by togmar about 1 month ago \| Permalink
birch262 Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 1173	I like the idea of being able to attach a message to a mine. I also think the idea of a puzzlemine would be cool too. by birch262 about 1 month ago \| Permalink
shyiskhar Steward Level 19 Destroyer Posts: 2111	puzzle mines? No thank you. My mines were meant to explode. Defusion is not an option. by shyiskhar about 1 month ago \| Permalink
davidsev Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 403	Then don't place puzzle mines :). In the current elections, people who say they will vote for me get my crates. The chaos party's could do the same with mines, vote for me or BOOM! by davidsev about 1 month ago \| Permalink

nlamothe Level 12 Destroyer Posts: 33	Gotta be honest, I've been expecting piles of mines from the chaos party, as I've been indiscriminately crating active users...regardless of their association. If I had to keep buying armor, I'd have less to spread around. by nlamothe about 1 month ago \| Permalink
nlamothe Level 12 Destroyer Posts: 33	oh shit. /me goes to buy armor. by nlamothe about 1 month ago \| Permalink
spikeyboy Level 17 Bedouin Posts: 1181	lol - talk about setting yourself up. You DID want the armour badges, right? by spikeyboy about 1 month ago \| Permalink
burdenday Trustee Level 14 Destroyer Posts: 1078	The issue with this would be it would make laying a mine even more of an arduous process. You'd have to lay the mine, then click a submit button after deciding whether or not to leave a note. I don't think many people would favor this since one of the major complaints is that it is already a two click process to lay a mine (without using the keyboard commands). by burdenday about 1 month ago \| Permalink
davidsev Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 403	So make it two buttons, one with the popup, one without. On the old toolbar I'd say put one on the mine's popup menu, and an option to pick which is default. Something like that should be doable with the current UI... by davidsev about 1 month ago \| Permalink
salmontickler Steward Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 1428	Until the 5.1 release I have never used keyboard shortcuts, but now that is all I use for laying mines. Joe, how about in your preferences there is a "Message to attach to mines" field. Users could then set a standard message the want to put, obviously this field would benefit from your swear word filter I think.. That way the process could stay as it is with the system doing a quick look up. And it would also allow us to change the message if we so wanted. by salmontickler about 1 month ago \| Permalink
burdenday Trustee Level 14 Destroyer Posts: 1078	I guess the idea here is we could add a preference for just about anything. The concern is the practicality in building these features. by burdenday about 1 month ago \| Permalink
chetyre Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1265	Here's an idea about one click stuff--say if we had it like the old toolbar system. A click on a tool would use it (in its most basic form). However, if you held down click it would bring up a dropdown menu with options for what type of tool you'd want to use. Makes a bit of sense, no? Dunno if it's doable though. by chetyre about 1 month ago \| Permalink
sylverling Steward Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 1598	too much work. not enough boom. :) @nlamothe: mined! by sylverling about 1 month ago \| Permalink
bunni3burn Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 1370	Why couldn't think idea work like the old crates used to. Where the crate appeared and you could enter text or just hit "stash"? Or fish fondlers idea wasn't bad at all. Make it automated almost. I don't mine enough to care lol. If I want someone to know something.. I mine them and send a Pmail at the same time. lol. by bunni3burn about 1 month ago \| Permalink
obthundersnot Level 10 Pathmaker Posts: 28	I think a mine disguised as a crate would be excellent. Oh, look, a crate...you open it up...bammo! by obthundersnot about 1 month ago \| Permalink
holzonkel Level 20 Destroyer Posts: 276	LOL @obthundersnot Fun idea! Really, really like it! :) by holzonkel about 1 month ago \| Permalink
shyiskhar Steward Level 19 Destroyer Posts: 2111	Back when crates could contain links, I used to lay crates with a link that looked like this. Booby trapped! by shyiskhar about 1 month ago \| Permalink
obthundersnot Level 10 Pathmaker Posts: 28	Wow...either I was on the same wavelength with GameLayers or my crate-mine suggestion was taken seriously. Or perhaps it was brought up 100 times before I did...lol. by obthundersnot about 1 month ago \| Permalink
pixielo Level 20 Pathmaker Posts: 3706	@obthundersnot We've been trying to get exploding crates since like...April or something...it's been a long time coming! by pixielo about 1 month ago \| Permalink
