We must all work together, to get Selene to have a conversation with us. (Because I think Selene is a bit anti-social. No offence.)
Hi Selene, how are you today?

Suggestions / Call a Mod/GM Function
February 02, 2013, 04:41:14 PM
I've recently seen that players need to be out of a game and in the lobby in order to report hackers or rule breakers, I find this method to be inefficient and wastes precious time. I'm proposing the function to call mods/GMs while in a game/game lobby.
I had a think to see how this could be done, and I came up with two ideas:
1. There is an option added to the chat options (such as "All" and "Whisper") which when selected, anything the player types into the chat will appear to all online mods/GMs and only mods/GMs, it would be easily distinguishable from regular chat (Simply by giving it a colour not used by other chats.) and when a player talks in it, mods/GMs would see it something like this:
[Sector: 1 | JackLewis] Hacker1234 is using Infinite Health Hacks.
This way mods/GMs don't have to waste time questioning what room or gamemode they're in, they can respond almost instantly.
2. A button is added into the corner of game lobbies and games in progress (Or it could be set to a key on the keyboard, such as F7) which when clicked will bring up a dialog box (Similar to the dialog box when you add a friend) where the player can type the reason/nature of the report. Once the report is submitted, mods/GMs will see the report as described in idea 1. Another feature of a report button could be that once the report is submitted then it automatically takes a screen shot and saves it to the screen shot folder, so if the hacker/rule breaker gets away or stops what ever they're doing before a mod/GM gets there, the player should already have a screen shot of the person in the act. (I believe VALVE have a similar system for this in Team Fortress 2.)
Either way, I think that my suggestion will improve the efficiency of reporting hackers and rule breakers.

So what I suggest is that if you do abuse it in this way or in another way you will be warned/banned yourself.

Off Topic / Ace Attorney 5
January 14, 2013, 10:22:23 PM
If you're a fan of the Ace Attorney series, and don't know already, Capcom has announce Ace Attorney 5, which apparently takes place after Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. No release date yet, and it looks like no Maya Fey or Mia Fey (If you even know who they are.) And that's all I know.
