like what england had said, we had suggested a while back for our occupation as maidens/priests to appear on our IDs, yet it seems that was never added and it feels like it's been a few months later. also considering the shrine is pretty much the most unknown faction- we are not inactive, it's just that 1. a lot of the playerbase doesn't necessarily bother to come up the mountain since it's pretty far and a big hike, and 2. they likely don't even know where the shrine is compared to the other factions.. we only really get our time to shine in events and even when that happens its small, our biggest event since recently was the new years' festival but that only happens once a year alongside the events in october. ever since i joined shrine i can say that the faction as a whole is the most forgotten when we try our best to keep the japanese aspect still alive in SRP. i'm sorry if it seems like we complain a lot, but it's true that barely anyone comes up here anymore, and when they do it's usually the same people or during times that none of the other shrine members are online so they just end up leaving anyways compared to the other factions who tend to have more things going on.
i had made this suggestion because of a small short discussion in the shrine chat about how we missed the red tags, and although i wasn't in the shrine during that time, it was one of the things that made us 'unique' in a way. if it's really stuck in the code as to how tab colors work, it's the really least that kimi could do, and if he can't, it's not like it'd make much of a difference anyways if we're always stuck at the bottom of tab since during active times all the other factions fill up the tab to the point we get booted out of view. and like what cloud said how during more inactive times we'd probably appear on tab, it'd make us pop out instead of blending in with the adults and reporters. even i can't tell sometimes if there's someone in the faction online because it blends in so well.
we're trying our best to keep the shrine going but when we're not really acknowledged / nobody comes up it just sort of dies for a short amount of time.. recently we've been doing a volunteer program to help bring more traction here (but i wasn't there during it due to irl issues) alongside delivering tea and visiting other factions down the mountain such as kpd / ems, etc. but it's just genuinely difficult.
sorry for the massive rant, it's just something i wanted to explain in further detail + taking in the advice of other replies.
If one faction gets a color change, other factions will also want color changes, and either they won't get them and will complain about it, or they do get them and tab goes back to looking like a disorganized mess.
phil, as much as i usually tend to agree with your takes, i heavily disagree. the other factions are treated a lot better than we are, and it's not like the other factions would ask for a color change since it already matches well, their faction. kpd with the bright blue, ems with the dark blue, gov with the teal, teachers/professors with the yellow, purple for the employees, you get the point. there isn't much of a reason for them to ask when they already have what they want compared to us who can't even keep a pretty unique role color cause' it booted us to the end of the tab list
imo there are better ways to gain recognition than a color change. I believe like a few others said that this will do more harm than good (though it is a pretty color)
it's at least one step of the way there, since like choi said not many take the trip to come up to the shrine and so we'd have to rely on events and such to stop it from getting drowned out often. i understand ur point with the coding and whatnot, but if it was possible when setting the order for colors, maybe it's possible again!
we just kind of want some sort of recognition after all, i feel a bit guilty writing this since it seems more of a complaint than a viable take but i just wanted to say what was on my mind
