This is a gameplay request. Please add a new feature to AHII. Call it the Tough Guy Icon.

This would be an option that any player could turn on or off. When on, the player's icon would be visable on the map at all times, by all other players with the Tough Guy Icon option turned on. There would also be a new roster list that showed all the players online with the Tough Guy Icon option turned on.

I think we have enough players in AH that would turn this option on and then we would see where the biggest furballs got generated.

I for one would have this option turned on.

Hmmmm...I like that idea. Have you seen that done elsewhere, or did you think it up yourself?

It sounds like a variation on some ideas that went away when people's idents no longer showed up on enemy icons (many many years ago) and then when kills were no longer reported on the text buffer. I like it... It's a bit of a throwback idea to when 4 guys could wing in the arena, take on everyone that came their way, and kick butt even though their dots showed on the radar 100% of the time and everyone could see their idents.

The last time the Flying Pigs did that a few years ago (roving motorcycle gang through enemy territory), 4 of us landed nearly 30 kills and guys were scrambling to chase us down. It was pretty fun.

Yep, would be fun to have something like this again. Next best thing showing everyones personal tag.

Not a bad idea. Would be a drag if you were a goon though..
oh ya..tough guys dont fly goons.

But Midnite wouldn't your icon say:

I only engage when I have: numbers, alt, and speed?

I don't think there would be enough room for that.

So would this new icon be bigger than the existing standard issue Aces High bishop, rook and knight icons. Something at least twice the size? Such as a big honking "John Holmes" phallic icon?

Midnight seems to have his knickers in a twist over the other thread.

But I like do Westy's John Holmes suggestion.

You could start your career with a little limp dick, which could in time develop into a raging Holmsey special.

Of course some would always stay limp as is the way of the world.

I would also ove to see a "jackazz" icon to the same effect except that it would kick on once 20 or more people in the arena type ".jackazz "trashtalkingbigmouthsname here". Essentially, if you want to anounce to all on chan 1 or 200 what a complete jackazz you are they all get the chance to let you share your location as well as your potty mouth.

Heheh that would be hilarious.. but make it something like 30-45% of those online have to use the dot command, then the jackarse is highlighted for like 30min. After his 30min are up, he can't be highlighted again for X hours (to prevent griefing someone into logging off with dweeb hunts).

exactly...> let it time out after 30 mins to an hr with a recharge time. You would need to have enough votes that some squad doesn't go about harrassing some poor soul. That being said, I think it would be a great way to let the community police itself as well as limit the trash talk we all have come to know and love.
