Warning message when being dragged

[Hellzon]

Sorry to bump this, but it came up in #cantr last night. Any progress on this?

/Hellzon - curious

I can't remember we discussing this in ProgD. But,... hey fellows,... are we up to make it appear in the character description screen like any project? I'm definatly in favour of that one!

How about, the message wouldn't light up your character so you could only see it when checking the character for other reasons?

I suggest the other way around. I mean, seeing it when you look at the dragger and not the dragged.
When you see dragger's details, a line would appear saying he's dragging somene, just like the current project does.
"He is in his twenties and is dragging Mr Who into My Boat."

This way, if you have all the town against you (like if you are a criminal), they will not tell you even if they notice it by accident. And in the other hand, if a kidnaper comes to town and starts dragging someone, most people will look at his details and probably someone will notice it.
Another reason is because sometimes a person asks "Can someone help me drag please?". It's nice to be able to check who that person is draggin and where to before helping. You might end up helping in a drag you're against.

I agree, I think that's the way it should work, I've actually tried to check if someone was dragging someone else before, and I always wondered why it didn't show up when I looked at them.

And I think there should be some way to tell, but a warning message is too much. It's the only way to win a fight as it is, they shouldn't make it even harder. And someone trying to drag you could be basically the same as someone sort of hovering around waiting for a good opportunity, they don't have to be actually hanging onto your arm in a noticeable way or anything like that.

I agree that this is the way it should work. Having it visible on the events page will change Cantr fundamentally for the worse. Make it like any other project, except not visible on the activities list, just in the character description.

These are three different things, not two, yes. I can grok it as long it's visible in the character description, but I think it should be visible in the activity tab too. I subbose I can live with it not showing up on the events page, but I'd prefer it if it did (and I don't see why it would ruin Cantr).

/Hellzon - makes a statement

I agree. No show in events/activities. But in Char Description, that would be fine.
