Gym leader ranks + New regions
« on: December 06, 2012, 06:14:08 pm »
Gym leader rank system: 
I was wondering if it is possible to give gym leaders of (for now) Johto and Kanto a different tag other than gym leader. For example, I should have the tag [Saffron Leader] or Barnitzn should have [Viridian Leader] because then everyone will know which gym that person is the leader of. This I believe will help those who haven't got all of the badges thus far and the chat won't get spammed with people asking what gym so 'n' so is leader of and all of that.


The only flaw I can see is that it may be a pain in the ass for when the other regions are finished and new gym leaders will need to be found. If this is too much of a pain to edit or do then fine I probably understand.


New regions:
As a majority know Unova, Sinnoh and Hoenn are being built and judging by the build rate, they are soon to be finished (Observation FTW!!!)  I was wandering if it was possible for someone to choose which region they start off and do gym challenges in, instead of the system we have now where u need to have so many badges from kanto to get full access of Johto and so on. This will give new-comers a chance to fight/live/explore their favourite region. And it won't cause the gym leaders to be ALMOST as powerful as the elite 4 (Johto).


Again if this is also too much of a pain in the ass to sort out or it causes too much lag then fine I understand. After all it's just a suggestion  ^_^

Admins have talked about specific tags per gym. The only issue is the strain on the permissions file, as it would be a completely new rank for each gym, and theres already a lot of ranks in the current file. I don't think it will happen unless PEX cleans up their system a bit.


As for the new regions, I think the admins will work it out closer to the release. Theres still a lot of building left for all of the other regions.

thank you tene for that highly detailed explanation as to why there shouldn't be new ranks for gym leaders. But i was thinking more as just being able to change the tag name to something whilst keeping the rank gym leader.

Why not just change their prefix?

pex user zekrom prefix &1[CeladonGymLeader]&f

ok.
2 weeks later

pex user zekrom prefix &6[CeladonGymLeader]&f

thank you for donating.
a week later you donate again.

pex user zekrom prefix &4[&6C&ee&2l&1a&5d&4o&6n&3G&2y&1m&5l&4e&6a&ed&2e&1r&5]&f

Oh. guess who wants to switch from celadongym to cerulean gym. and is still an acedonator with that pretty rainbow prefix...
I just lost the game.

Then you time out. Well now its

pex user zekrom prefix &PokeManiac

(I'm too lazy to type out that rainbow shit again)
because there is no command to "remove" a prefix so that it defaults to the group.
So once I change your prefix ONE TIME
I have to keep changing it manually every time your rank changes.
Hence why I get pissed off at admins changing prefixes.

Now lets multiply that aggravation by how many gym leaders we go through in one month.

Just make preparations in a text file or something so you don't have to type it out for every single person. :p

If I did that, it'd be faster to just make the groups.
And you're implying that all 4 admins would have to have that special little text file, making the server even MORE admin reliant, and shortening our life spans that much more.
