Idea Nicknames in McBuild

Could cause issues with profane nicknames

 

I like the idea! However, what if the nicknames were only map specific? Others on your map would see your nickname, but others on the same server on different maps would still see your regular IGN. Nicknames changing every few minutes can get a little bit spammy, so it wouldn't bother the players who don't want to be a part of the role play.

 

<Randy Builders Map>
~~~~ Joined your world
<Nickname: CaptainSparkles>: Hello Randy, can I get perms on your map? You'll come on youtube
<Randy>: Sure!!
Person with the nickname CaptainSparkles griefs Randies world, Randy cries, Randy leaves brawl.

 

Maybe only people with perms can create nicknames then?

 

I think this is a great idea! Especially since my map is dedicated to roleplaying, I think having nicknames would be a great addition to Build! I do agree with some of the problems like impersonating and profanity, but I'm sure we could figure out a way to figure those issues out.

 

This is just my opinion, go to other servers that have /nick (mostly faction aka abominations) and a lot of bullying, confusing names, trickery, and swears DESTROY the chat.
I'm talking to you 8x2

Further more, I always loved Brawl because of the non-spammy chat from colors. Add nicknames, that will probably be colored will make the chat even more spammy.

 

Nicknames are typically not the kind of permission you want to give to immature people. I can see many issues of abuse, including impersonation and profanity, as mentioned above. Censoring and moderating these will require them to not just be on a single map, which again isn't ideal. Overall, the majority of the build community isn't mature enough to handle nicknames or similar commands.

 

^^ This can solve the abuse, and as for the profanity, it needs to be approved by either a manager or an owner.

 

That's a little harsh don't you think? Saying no to something only because of a few immature 12 year olds? I think it's a great idea and wouldnt be too difficult to implement with a little tweaking.

 

When McBuild becomes McRoleplay..xD

 

It's a great idea however, I have a feeling it would be used incorrectly and immaturely. Also I don't agree with RolePlays, they always seem to cause a lot of arguments on build. They can also get either very depressing or far too extreme. There's my rant on RP's anyway. ^.^ But it's my opinion and we all have our own opinions.

 

I don't personally enjoy RP. Maybe if it's a good one but overall it's a no from me. And I think using nicknames will just lead to more problems in general chat and start more agruments.

I think they will try to bypass the nickname censor. But if only managers can like you said, I think there will be less percentage of bad names so I agree on you on the manager part.

 

Okay, as I said my opinion is still no, but let's look at WW and Teams. Example, a good friends of mine is ElDog22, and his clan tag was "ISIS". I'm fine with that, because It's just a videogame. However, it started numerous arguments. He changed it to "Yank", and even so he still gets into arguments. There are countless more examples, but that is just the one of of my head.

I do however think that there should be a "Build Team" Tag. Make a build team, with

/bteam create
/bteam invite
/bteam neme [name]
/bteam join

Ect...

Anyway, like in McPvP you would get a little gray tag, like "MTOB" ;-;.
