    Not a walking dead or Oprah pun.

    Hello guys, Darkregen here.

    So i've been playing a lot lately, and A LOT of players are complaining about other people killed them when they are "friendly" so the idea in general is fairly simple. Either !friendly becoming a public command, like !votekick and those sort of commands, or making it a thing you can buy with activity point, i was thinking a healthy amount of 750. This should only be on the Trade/Idle section on gameME. (This one Fortress of Gamers Statistics - Servers)

    This is reduce the amount of spam admins get and the amount of insults players get when they want to play the actual game.

    I honestly have no idea if people would like this idea or not, so i would like all opinions, negative or positive.

    That'll be all. (tips fedora)

    But that would mean that to be !freindly they would have to kill people for the points first

    Aka join either 2fort or dustbowl for pointfarming 2.0, orange would work as well but there is taking 1 game like 1 year.

    i approve this suggestion btw.

    I'll be the first to be a little skeptical to it.

    Isn't /friendly one of the attractions for people to donate?

    Honestly I think its fine rewarding our regulars who arent donors (yet) with that, its not like that super fancy feature.

    I also think reserved slots /scramble immunity are the main reasons for donating, and fancy chatcolor ofc

    It doesn't sound bad, at all.
    Whenever these donators asks for Buddha/God and i give
    them a no, they either insult me or just pissed off. Please, implement this, i don't
    want to give buddha to regular players aswell.

    If this actually becomes a thing it should be like buddha, you can explosive jump
    using sticky jumper and the rocket jumper, two weapons that cannot harm.

    -1, 1 people would have to farm on other servers, also it is a killing game and so if they want to friendly they should go somewhere we cant nub them as it is a game where you kill. I do not see why a donator ability should be given to everyone.

    *Toggles Friendly*
    *Goes around and sees enemy*
    *Gets ignored because he has friendly*
    *Turns Friendly off and shoots guy*

    In that case, you could make a plugin that does so, if you disable friendly you will get "killed" aka respawned.

    I gotta say no on this one. There's also people abusing things like duels or even just taunting others after dominating them. I'd like to say that this would resolve problems that have been going around with friendly people, but I think that this might make matters worse.

    I'm against it. It's a donor feature and it should stay that way.

    Rewarding regulars by using AP, sure.

    However, should they abuse any of it, apply normal rules and reset their AP (with warning prior, ofcourse).

    You cannot earn ap on achievement so saying that they can earn it to use it is stupid.

    But that is not what I mean, it means that they would be playing on achievement and then suddenly, guess what; you can get friendly if you play for around 2-3 months on 2fort for your !friendly on achi. What I mean is it should be -1 or you give it for free which would be bad as well IMO.
