Hiding Names

[Kugen]

What are people's thoughts on hiding names from people who have never interacted, but making a system where if a player shares their name with a player by holding E on them or something to reveal their name to the player they are interacting with, and the other player can choose to share their name by doing the same.

This is purely conversation just wondering peoples thoughts

I originally saw it on a different city rp server, I've never played mafia rp. It's not a bad concept

It's a basic concept for everything SeriousRP. This also comes from HL2RP if you have played on those before but this may depend on server to server.

There is a specific forum area to post this in for it to be taken more seriously!

It’s a good idea, but not something that would be positive in practice imo

does your character have to manually breath?

Names are visible for administration purposes, or so was the information I learned quite some time ago. It makes sense the way it is right now, since it's far too easy for someone to go on a killing spree and be unable to even give the name of the person doing it to staff.

Could just replace names with ID's

Harder to remember than names.

It's just generally easier and convenient to identify people by name especially if you're trying to garner their attention or if it's someone with a KOS but has identical clothing to others (sweater for example), people should still follow the premise of finding out their name in-character if they are to use their name for things such as setting a warrant on them but it shouldn't have to always be a necessity in credibly minor scenarios

Optionally in the F1 settings menu, you can turn off names yourself if that is what you'd prefer personally but I think changing this wouldn't have a positive reception
