Return salute dot command
« on: September 13, 2011, 01:17:47 AM »
Any hope for a dot command that returns salute to the last one who saluted you?
Or is there one & I don't know it?
Maybe .RS or .SR.
I'm a slow hunt & peck typist & I cant count how many times Ive typed a long name & got it wrong. Sometimes several times in a row.
Its hard to see the difference between I & 1 or l, or O & 0 especially when your tired.
Lots of people have odd or clever spellings for normal words.
I try some repeatedly just to find they've logged, I'm so used to getting it wrong I think its me but they're off line.
I'm penalized for my poor secretarial skills but I'm just a construction lug :)

.RS would be good (we already use .SR for Squad report), nice thinking Specs <S>

Typing .RS is a LOT easier, though I rarely get em. :lol :aok

+1, but how about just a variation of the .s command - if you don't add a player's name, the default .s will just send a salute to the last player that saluted you.

it would make it easier to return a salute in a timely manner even when trying to dodge bullets from squadies of the guy you just shot down.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

.SR is taken.  I think it is the squadee search command.

.FU is more appropriate maybe  :lol

I like the idea of just '.s' with no name returning it to the last person that saluted you.  Makes good sense to me.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I think the .FU command should generate a large ascii text middle finger in the 200 chat buffer.  I would show you an example, but I fear I would get whacked with the Skuzzy stick if I did.  So, I will provide a link that if you scroll down the page, you will see what I mean.

I think .s would be good.  We already have .r {message} to PM a reply to the last recieved PM without having to type the playerID who sent it.
