Sitter System

Post by DiM »

* Suggestion Idea: a sitter system to replace the old one where you have to give your pass and the sitter has complete power.
* Specifics: in your profile you can appoint another user as your sitter. he logs in with your user but with his password. he has limited powers:
*can't join new games
*can't send pms
*can't post in forums

and for the chat there's a solution. the system automatically adds sitter: XXX after the username. something like this:

2007-04-24 02:42:40 - DiM(sitter:XXX): good luck guys
* Why it is needed: it's needed to prevent abuse. this is mainly helpfull for those that are new to CC and don't know who to trust.
imagine a new guy that came to CC and has to leave only a few days after he joined. he has a few games in progress. now his situation is more complicated. he knows nobody around the site because he's new. leaving the game and deadbeat would mean disaster. imagine having 5-6 negs for deadbeating right from the start, he will have to work really really hard to redeem his reputation.
* Priority** (1-5): 3.5. while i agree there are more important things to add to the site i do feel a sitter system would prevent many complications. and also everybody will know if a guy is sitted by someone else because not all people announce this.

There has to be a "disable all sitters" checkbox in your profile...

So if you're away you have to enable the functionality.

yep this could be good. but in travian (the game i got inspired from) you could simply delete the sitter's name and add it again when you needed him. since that was a game where a sitter was needed 24/7 the names never got deleted but that's not the point :)

This is the same system they use in Tribal Wars, and I think it's been suggested.

i have 2 people that know my password,
I have chosen responsible people (doubles/ triples partners) that seem nice, and will only join games for me, if they think I'll like them.
I know their passes, and we all join/ play turns for each other if they're close to the time limit.

Its all about who you get to sit your account. If you get some punk kid, then of course he's going to start new games. But if you get someone who is responsible, and has an account of their own, with Premium Membership, then you'll be fine!

Also, when in doubt, contact Sully800- sometimes he sits peoples accounts, and he's a mod.. so if he starts new games for you, you can tell wicked ;)
