IX. Many Thanks

 

 

 

I. Background Information: This idea had been suggested many times before, but back in March when I was fairly new I had decided to actually the plan into full action, since there wasn't really anyone creating pictures and really thoroughly describing what would be implemented into the idea. I had taken a break from RS and Tip.It during the summer for camps and other summer activites that kept me busy, and I returned to see my post mysteriously gone.

 

 

 

Now I have brought the idea back, new and better than before. I *am* using the same images, which means old interface, but I will get new interface pics up as soon as possible. Also, there are support and hates lists that you can add your name to if you like the idea or not.

 

 

 

Now, read on to explore the magic of examining other players! The following chapters will explain about the examine player option and how to use it. Have fun!

 

 

 

II. Examining

 

Why do we need to examine other players? It makes things easier, faster, and more efficient! How, you ask? What if you are trying to sell 10k willows, but want to cut more willows at the same time WHILE doing your homework? Why not just have a place where you can type what you're selling ONCE and players can examine you as they pass by? It's simple and time efficient. I realise that some people have said, "Well, use the forums!" But do you REALLY want to go back and forth between forums and game to eagerly check your forum post every half hour?

 

 

 

To examine a player, you simply right click on their person, as if you were going to trade or follow them, and then select the "Examine" option. It's as simple as that! (see sample below)

^ Thanks Da Latios for this great pic! ^^

 

 

 

III. Reading the Entry

 

 

 

This is the fun part! Actually reading what the person has to say! It will show up automatically on your screen, just as if you were examining anything else.

IV. Setting Your Profile

 

 

 

Now, how do you set your own "profile" message? There are two ideas that arose.

 

 

 

Idea 1: Click on settings (the wrench) and then click on "Edit Profie." A screen like the one below will pop up and you can set your message.

Idea 2 (by Gameboy Guy):

Idea 3 (by Stihl):

V. Other Ideas

 

 

 

Though it is a good idea, Jagex would have to take some extra measures to make sure people do not misuse the "profile". Someone could easily insert profane names, or add seddicitve comments. Due to this, I reccomend adding a "Report Profile" option. This would allow Jagex to examine the players profile, and determine wether it should be removed.

 

 

 

Thanks Prankster_King, I love this idea and I will implement it into the images when I get around to making more. ^^

 

 

 

Showing Skills Idea

 

I had originally put this as part of the option, but I took it down because it got alot of negative feedback. There were good reasons on why you shouldn't have your skill levels for view, and one of the most was during PKing it would give your opponent a good advantage against you, even though you have the same advantage, it wouldn't be worth it and would take away the fun of PKing.

 

 

 

Thus another idea took into action. Why not be able to turn your skills on and off. If you PK alot, you could select to not show your skills. Thanks to Gameboy Guy for this pic:

It is simple, just right click choose to turn it on or off.

 

 

 

Showing Various Stats Idea

 

This is another great idea, where you can view the armor, quests, and skills of the other person with tabs. Thanks Jondea0 for this great pic:

There are more details, ideas, and pics coming soon. If you have any questions please feel free to ask (I will add the answers to the post and hopefully create and FAQ!) Also, if you want to donate a pic it would be greatly appreciated! And don't forget to add your name to one of the lists. You can always change your standing by letting me know through new reply or PM. Thanks!

VII.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

 

 

What's the point of examinging players?

 

There are alot of good things about being able to examine players. They can say things they're selling, say their goals, or plainly say things like "I will not give you anything for free!" to discourage beggars from bothering them. There are also many other ways you can use this to your advantage.

 

 

 

More coming to the FAQ soon!

Thanks! I'm still working on that skills part, I was sort of incorperating it so that you could compare your skills to other players' skills without having to go to the main runescape page.

I like it. It would make selling stuff ALOT easier for me.

 

 

 

Add me to supporters!

 

 

 

Same here, I'm in.

 

 

 

Though I wonder, what would I type for my examine text? "Smart and Insane guy wearing purple all the time"...???

very nice examination :lol: =D> =D>

Give a man a fish, and he'll choke on the bones. Result: You get the rest of the fish.

Teach a man to fish, and he'll catch a lot of fish, then choke on one of the bones. Result: You get all the fish he caught.

Teaching people is better.

I like the idea just make sure to state cleary that you chose the levels you want to show to other people.

I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!

What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_-

This is a very good idea... I strongly support this.

 

 

 

Though it is a good idea, Jagex would have to take some extra measures to make sure people do not misuse the "profile". Someone could easily insert profane names, or add seddicitve comments. Due to this, I reccomend adding a "Report Profile" option. This would allow Jagex to examine the players profile, and determine wether it should be removed.

Time to get new pics, with the new interface.

 

 

 

Anyways, I support. No more trying to figure out who was the one saying "Byin death 300ea" on world 2 anymore. (Only if they set it...But who wouldn't? :P )

I like it, well thought out but i have a few problems.

 

-Well, the selling and buying thing...hate to tell ya, but that's what the forums are for #-o

 

-The main problem: This would require AN EMINSE amount of space to create, a size that would completely decrease what they could do with quests and other new things. I mean, its possible but it'd take down pretty much any other great update. This would be a cool thing overall, but it's attributes are pretty much like a quick way of finding things that would limit everything else.

Hmm that reminds me since I support this:

 

 

 

Why not make the skills thing a 2 or 3 column panel, similar to how the game's stats control panel shows 2 or 3 columns? It would make it more easy to control things as a person would not have to scroll so much. :mrgreen:

How about you forget about the skills because if someone is that desperate they can ask you and then why not make some sort of market area where you can post the item you are selling and how much for and it can stay there until it is sold or until you decide your not going to sell it and the money goes straight to your bank. (this idea could be developed so that it works better) I dont have anything against your idea its just that its a bit dodgy because it can still be messed up by alot of chat.

 

 

 

I will try to make some pics of my idea. (nothing like your because to be honest I dont know how to do them like that)

I think this is a great idea. The marketplaces these days are massive and almost impossible to trade in.

 

 

 

As to the person who said it would get messed up by chat;

 

 

 

Say you can see the general area where someone is shouting the item you want. You could just turn chat off and examine everyone in the area. Usually trading is hard because you can't tell who of a pile of 3 people or so you want to trade with.
