Destroy notes

Postby Molested.Peach. (cky) » Mon Nov 22, 2004 2:16 am

I'm sick of having 1000 notes, I would like to burn them, In fire pits, just like cooking meat, you can throw notes in there and they are gone. We have about 50 envelopes of Trash and everyone is too lazy to clean up, so think about it.

I believe a way to destroy notes was implemented but I don't think anyone in game has figured out how to do it. In fact, I don't even remember what they implemented to destroy notes but I remember working on that once someone convinced Jos that destroying should be implemented.

I implemented it after nagging at Jos to have it implemented. However, it was removed quite quickly, because it was a screwy way to delete notes (Much like burying a body. You click the button, and the body dissapears, and it becomes a project. If you could do that to notes, people could mass delete notes without actually working on the project, so you'd have bothersome idiots deleting your libraries, or ingenius cheaters burning them but not actually working on the project, just to clean the clutter, much like people do for bodies. Bury and forget.)

A new way is being developed, but is on hold, since Programming is busy with much more important things.

Idea:

How about if you can delete notes under the following circumstances:

Immediately if you made it.
Immediately if it is a copy you made.
After having it in your inventory for 10 days (or some other number), if you did not make or copy it.

By then, a note thief would certainly have gotten away or been killed.

Well just put it in a trash envelope, and if there's more than one trash envelope, throw it in a main trash envelope. ;)

I don't think we should implement destroying notes- you can set them to uneditable and use em again. If anything, we should be able to move notes directly to the only envelope you are carrying (to skip the unneeded step of choosing if there's only one default envelope), only because you are complaining of 4 digit amounts of notes.

Well, I think we all already do the trash envelope thing, but we should be able to get rid of envelopes too. :roll:
