About the new event "Port Control" (Small)

[Dejanira]

I really do like the new event "Port Control" in the Global Event page.

This is more a question than a suggestion: will a link be added to the top bar "All | Promotions | Treasures | Top Helpers | Laws | Achievements"? A link that shows all the Port Control events. By now there are not so many events of that kind, but could be useful.

This will be added after a few more of these events are generated

I do like the addition to events as well. Also helps keep a history.

I only wish you could keep try of hostile takeovers and the players involved. Wishing well kind of things perhaps

Great idea

[Captain Jack]

I tried to flesh out a sketch to send for instant implementation but there are some issues with people who want to act undercover.

If we wanted to keep track of involved players, we would have to track losses and winnings. Perhaps, the only way to do this, is not to track who actually did these but who benefited from these actions.

In this way, we reveal nothing extra and we can keep the anonymous part of the port wars. After all, the final standings are that matter and these are visible to all so we do nothing more than recording history.

We will develop this now, in priority than everything else as this is a great tool for us for many other usages (ie, Avonomora Herald, future badges, achievements, admin tools,etc).

Just be careful about not exposing anything that cannot already be found out. Giving easier access to "public" information is one thing, but even hinting about things that are NOT publicly available is a bad idea. There are lots of things happening behind the curtains in many situations, and many things are difficult enough as it is even with the possibility to stay anonymous.

I agree. It will be a mere recording of statistics. To make this happen, we will be issuing brand new statistics so the benefits out of this idea will be multiple for the game.

The back-end for most of these has started and we hope to finish it tomorrow. Once enough data is collected, we will start displaying them (in about 2 weeks time perhaps, maybe earlier).

I will post here again once we finish the backend. It's a lot of things.
