As I mentioned on the Talk page of the I.F.F., I don't see any need for Part 3 of IFF policy, and I think that it should be removed:
3. View the player's profile and determine if that person has ever killed a member of your class.
* If so, you may commence your attack as normal.
* If not, you must assume the player is friendly and refrain from attacking.
In my opinion, the IFF objective is accomplished if a player spends 1 gold coin and 1 AP to obtain and examine your profile. The choice to attack you is then informed by a variety of circumstances, including your clan affiliation and your character description. I may be wrong, but I believe that no sane character will consistently give away gold and waste AP, only to murder people anyway. Punching or attacking is a far more beneficial way to get exactly the same info, especially if continued attack is a foregone conclusion.
In my opinion, IFF should emphasize the "identify" portion of the process: IFF supporters commit to "identify before attacking". For example, I would favor admitting characters such as paid assassins who are trying to kill a particular target on the other side. The "IFF supporting"-assassin would give away gold to locate their target, while a normal assassin would systematically machete everyone until the target was found. --Tycho44 08:35, 8 June 2006 (BST)
A bug with the MetaMap script
For a while I've noticed that my MetaMap overlay hasn't been updated based on my own map. This is because the script uses metamap-tr.png, which is out of date, when it should be using metamap.png. The difference is that the latter one is fully opaque, so it's necessary to make it semi-transparent with CSS. To do this I've changed
mapImage.style.display = "none";
to
mapImage.style.display = "none"; mapImage.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=75)"; mapImage.style.opacity = ".75";
in my copy (and changed "metamap-tr.png" to "metamap.png", of course), and it works fine. I thought you'd like to know so you can update your online copy of the script. — Elembis (talk) 02:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
