Turn Reports Changing

Bubba · Postby **Bubba** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 3:43 am

There has been a long standing issue with the daily turn reports displaying more than one day in the report. I have a fix that is ready to be commited but as some players may consider this a feature I wanted to give fair warning that the reports will be changing.

Why can't we keep as is? More than one day in one report is good cause then I don't have to worry about getting the report for everyday. Right now, I get them about every 4 or 5 days, not worrying too much. So?

A report would still be available for 4 or 5 days after the day the report was for, so you could still do that.

I like this change. I've had a problem with turn reports being so long that Gmail cuts them off ("show original" shows the rest, but it's still a pain). Also it's quite annoying when I search for an event in my turn reports and 5 reports come up because the event's in all of them.

I don't even use turn reports. I don't really use them out of character, and in character I think of them as a minor CR breach. I think of the Show All button to be my characters short term, perfect memory. If it is older than that, my character's memory is only as good as mine.

I haven't been able to read a turn report for a while now. Hopefully this helps solve the problem

Can we subscribe to Turn Reports? So instead of having to click the "I want the turn report for XXXX day" it is instead sent to us for as long as we want?

It could be an option under the player settings. So if we subscribe to them, they're sent to the email adress in there, and we don't have to worry about it, or making some vast and cumbersome array of who does and doesn't get the turn report, it's just one more value to test.

When I drove from California to Missouri, by way of the grand canyon, I was away from the computer for round about two weeks. As turn report currently are not there after six days, I have a blank spot, where things happened that I now have no record of. For example, one of my characters spent the time in Kirinn Forest, and within hours of me getting my internet connection back, she was done working there and left. Looking back over the turn reports showing recent times, I had no idea anything out of the ordinary was happening on the K isle. As is apparent, VAST things were happening, but if any happened in the vicinity of that character, I missed it.

Turn reports are vast and cumbersome, but I use them often, for statistics about player character rates, to review my amature attempt of mapping a coast so I can figure out where the heck I took that wrong turn and lost the coast, all sorts of things. Having turn reports cover daily events will clean them up and make them even more useful.

Being able to subscribe to them would make them a blessing.

Think that can get worked up?

Agreed with Agar.

Well...Agar's way seems good, so if we can't keep the other way, I can be fine with some sort of subscription...if at all possible, lol.

Why are they changing back? I don't have room in my email to grab one more than every five days. I love that they have multiple days on each one. Please...........Don't Change Them!!!!

Room? Do you have a finite number of emails you're allowed to have, rather than a storage limit?
If the email gets one fifth the size... you should have no problems getting 5 times as many emails.
Basic.

Subscription would be great!!!

I like the multi day format, because later reports reflect name changes that earlier reports did not. This is an extremely good use for the overlap.

What about having two options? either subscribe to have them emailed or have them as they are now.

If this is against the reason why they are changing then sorry, I'm just not sure of the history of this change.

That is actually a very good idea, Oasis!
