Play order reorganized when you die

Post by Natewolfman »

Concise description:
  • When you die, and your name becomes crossed out, it should move you to the bottom of the player list
  • This means that all the players still active in the game will be grouped togeather in the top
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • It will make it much easier to see who is still alive and who is out
  • got this idea from the BR's today, if this is implimented, BR's in the future will be MUCH easier to play because you can actually see who is still in and who is out

I'm not sure this can be done. The order is the only thing the game uses to identify the players. All the plug ins have to use that to tell you who has what. If the names got shuffled, it would have to be a cosmetic change, but would require actual changes to anything that reads who was playing in each game. Is it worth it, just so you can be updated a bit faster on a few games a year?

My endorsement of this suggestion is also conditional on the basis that we keep the same colour, it would be confusing in the chat and game logs otherwise.

The name elements could move on the page, as long as they kept the same number in the ID tag and it shouldn't break the greasemonkey stuff.

this idea should just be for BR games. any game with 8 or less players is no problem to most people

I agree - doing this in any other game, even an 8 way, would mess up add-ons (as stated above ^^^ (somewhere :roll: ))
I can see the benefit of this in a Battle Royale, though :)

Maybe the OP should set up a poll ?

If the play order was the same and the names were just displayed in a different order I don't think it would mess up any plugins. (or at least it wouldn't be hard to fix)

I think this is a good suggestion but probably not worth the trouble, unless a good portion of to-do items are taken care of. BR's represent a very small minority of CC games, and this suggestion wouldn't be useful for much else.

Just to note, this would also help me as an organizer, when i have 50 or so 8-way games to wait to finish, i would be able to see which are finished much quicker if the surviving players are grouped at the top.

aside from that though, it is true that this would probably be more work then it is worth...
