What's the title of your suggestion?: Off Duty Command
What's your suggestion?:
A toggle command for "off duty" purposes, to functionally change adult faction roles into simply the "adult" role. It would require permission to use of course from higher ups in order to make use of it. This would be for EMS, Shrine, KPD, Town, etc, to make it so when one of the players with the aforementioned roles are off duty that they are not shown as active on the tab list, to prevent confusion amongst players and to functionally blend them in better as actually off duty adults rather than having the blaring glowing tag above their head.
Additionally, it would also be nice to maybe hide the role from the scoreboard in the event that the player is flagged AFK, but both of these are just luxuries.
How will this benefit the server and community?:
The reason I am suggesting this is because I have noticed several times that players get confused or even frustrated whenever they notice a respective faction member is active on the scoreboard, yet they are not actually actively doing their job due to, you guessed it, being off duty and the player in question having no way of knowing other than assumption.
Walking all the way up to shrine to see the maidens are nowhere in sight, looking around for 10 minutes and then leaving because you just assume, oh, they must be off-duty. Heading to KPD and waiting in the lobby for 20 minutes, trying to use the phone line but nobody is answering because of the fact that they cannot receive phone calls while off-duty.
This would fix that, and it would mean staff wouldn't have to manually change/assign roles awkwardly or anything of the sort since it would be automatically parsed by the command.
I understand that you are not supposed to meta the tab or anything, but the truth is that people do use it as a way to gauge if they will find roleplay at the specific place they are seeking out as it is one of the only actually reliable ways to know and not waste time OOC, which could be spent anywhere else and reduce frustrations that are inevitably caused.
An additional benefit to this would be the ability to use the off duty tag for detective purposes, i.e.: going undercover and blending in better among adult tags, only to suddenly spring the officer tag back up when you move into action to jump a criminal. You could also utilise the command to play a character who is, for example, on medical leave or the likes (instead of being outright unable to play them should you not have a spare Adult tag slot), while still being able to swap back to your faction tag any moment to play the replacement character if you are requested!
Really, I think it would prove plenty beneficial, but I understand if it is a simple case of "just don't meta lol", I believe I just speak for the majority I have noticed.
