If one of these people actually tried they could probably pass anyway. If you try a 'what do you do?' type question it's either unfair or multiple choice...

If someone can post an example of these questions that I can't pick apart I'd be happy to give this suggestion the thumbs up, but right now I can't see it being implemented without being condescending/useless.

Perhaps a minigame during registration to test basic problem solving skills? (assuming people don't just create a guide/google it -_-)

Well, in general I don't feel like I should change my speech patterns for anyone, but I support this topic and have a relative amount of respect for you.

The /ignore player command exists for a reason. It probably should cover the account, rather than just that one character, but that's a code issue.

Other than that, no we're not in the business of discriminating via IQ, ethnicity, ESL, gender, sexuality etc etc. The more the merrier, and if you don't like what someone says, /ignore them.


I'm moving for this to be /closed.

But this resolution is full of awesomeness, this delegate would like to ask AEM to reconsider, seeing the overwhelming support it has received from the playerbase.

The delegation from Dark Traders would like to move with utmost respect that the competence test in question be applied also to the development team.

Yes, we have to make sure that the threat will be cleansed.

Even if /Ignore "Name" is used, are we to do that for every racist fuck that walks along.

JeffL wanted and stated that SS(2) is moving towards the "Casual Playerbase". Hardcore Group peeps like Enk, Wex, and Shitarky need not apply.

The CPB is vastly larger than the HCG. And with a vastly larger membercount, we get vastly larger amounts of annoying to downside disrespectful fuckwits like:

1. DRAGON BOLT - Disrespectful is the only word that I can say without swears or ranting
2. Lilith - Talkative
3. Is - Very, Talkative
4. Lazarus - Would not shut up
5. Deathreus - If you played when he did, no explanation needed

List goes on. And on.

However, thats not the point. Looking from the perspective JeffL would have, do you really want to have these people, as annoying or insulting that they are, playing SS.

This is the one time that weeding them out would be a good thing. A new player would see the vulgar-ness or extreme annoyance, and while we don't particularly like it, will judge the book by its cover.

I remember about a year ago, a potential P2p did NOT go P2p because he saw that I had over 8000 posts. He quit believing the whole game was like me. Forum Spammers and Trolls. The whole game is not like that, but what do you think would happen if new players came across people like DRAGON BOLT or Deathreus?

I would gladly go to war whit Traders just becouse of this idea

Deathreus was just a hype .. he wasn't actually as bad as any of the other noobs around.

And lilith? I've never had a problem with 'her?' And with regards to the others .. I've never even heard of them :L

I honestly don't see the massive problem other than the random noob on trade trying to sell Divine Wattage Aug BP for 70+b..

This delegate would care but this delegate does not. So this delegate would like to ask His Highness Sky Titan to please give constructive criticism or get out of this topic as not to waste this most awesome resolution.

The Representative of Matrix gives this resolution the full support it deserves.

I, as a Representative of 2004, give this resolution my full support.

I second the motion for closure.

The Star Sonata developers have an economic disincentive against this proposal. It will never happen.
