Would it be too much work to make it so that you can nominate people who are offline? Sometimes people have to log off before an event finishes but they still contributed to the RP, or sometimes they log off before you remember to use the nominate command. There's been a few times when I've tried to nominate someone but was told that the person couldn't be found, and I'd hate for them to not receive the nomination because of poor timing.
Similarly, are nominations logged in the event that a GM isn't online at the time? I don't know how it works now.

You overhear the following rumor:
"I saw one of those Shadgard folk come barging into Grif's and shoot one of the patrons on the spot. Shadgard must be a pretty rough place with such outlaws running rampant."

Yes, nominations are logged and emailed to us at the end of the day.Elystole wrote:Similarly, are nominations logged in the event that a GM isn't online at the time? I don't know how it works now.
I'll have to think about the code changes needed to make the offline nomination thing work. We could just treat it like NPC mail and let it accept anything for a name, but I can see a couple issues that could come up from that.
Re: Nominate Changes
Why like npcmail? Doesn't the usual postal service only allow for mailing PCs who actually exist?Jirato wrote:I'll have to think about the code changes needed to make the offline nomination thing work.

Re: Nominate Changes
Yes. I'm pretty sure npcmail is the only system currently around that will let you just enter anything for a name regardless of if the person exists or is online at the time.Elystole wrote:Why like npcmail? Doesn't the usual postal service only allow for mailing PCs who actually exist?
Re: Nominate Changes
Right, but wouldn't nominate only be concerned with PCs that exist? Offline, maybe, but existing.Jirato wrote:Yes.

Re: Nominate Changes
I was trying to avoid having to deal with additional checks to see whether or not the characters existed to keep things slim. Pulling up a list of offline characters isn't as simple as it sounds. I went ahead and did it anyway though.Elystole wrote:Right, but wouldn't nominate only be concerned with PCs that exist? Offline, maybe, but existing.
So, yeah, nominate can now be used on offline characters (only if they exist).
