Entertainer Archive

I Have a different Suggestion for the Entertainer issue.

UberSniper01 walks into a cantina with mind wounds and battle fatigue. He find an enetertainer that appeals to him then clicks /listen or /watch at which time the system makes a note of theamount of Mind wounds and BF then opens an box where Ubersniper01 enter an amount of creadits he's willing to pay for healing. the Entertainer get a dialouge box stating UberSnipe01 would like xxx amount of mind wounds and xxx amount of BF healed. and is offering xxx amount od credits . do you accept? the Enetertainer then clicks accept or decline if the amount seems reasonable. then healing begins. when healing has been completed the agreed upon amount is then credited to the Entertainer.

I think this could also work somehow for Medics.

what do you think?

oh yeah lets stop calling it "tips"that sounds like a generousity issue..it should be refered to a Payment for services rendered

Here is a scenario. Ubersniper01 walks in and requests healing from you, but you decline because he is doesn't have enough money (he is new, but you don't know this, you just know you want to extort money out of people).

I accept and heal him for free. Word soon spreads so people come exclusively to me instead of you.

You go broke, I get rich, game over

Another scenario:

There is only one musician and me (the dancer) in a cantina. People float in and out of the cantina. I am trying to talk with the patrons and find out what caused them such grief. I am thanking medics for heals. I am thanking people who give me additional tips. I am timing my flourishes and special effects. I am telling my pets to do tricks as I dance.

But I am unable to do all of this properly because I have to keep clicking "Yes" on a dialog box that pops up every 20 seconds.

I think it'd be too much of a hassle. I can live with /deny, but I don't support any concepts that brings up extra messages in a short period of time. I'm fine with a message box that pops up every 10 minutes to force the entertainer to interact.

well how in the heck is /deny going to do any good? you cant tell who is watching or listening to you. So how do you know who is not "tipping" and who to /deny for it?

i think the only people my idea would really efftect are those people who like to setup in a corner and go AFK... tough

Oh, /deny isn't going to do that much good. In Theed, /deny will do no good because there are so many entertainers. Someone dipwad can come in, pick a dancer and a musician, and then go be an idiot. If the dancer /denies him, then he moves to another dancer. By the time all the performers figure out to /deny him, he's already healed. And you can bet he'll target a master musician and master dancer first.

Now, /deny can come in useful if there are only three entertainers in a cantina. It's a great way to extort money from patrons and make them hate us. It's a great way to make a jerk laugh at us as we prove to him that his antics are getting to us. Sure, /deny is a wonderful service.

And your idea would affect me. I do not AFK macro. I have 350k dancing xp I don't need and 275k ent healing xp I don't need, so I don't have a need for that. But that idea would screw me as I do my usual dancing routine. I also rarely let image designers grind on me unless I am not in the mood to socialize. An ID grind really messes up someone's socializing.

i won't be using /deny on people unless i know that they have alot of money (as in not new to the game and can afford to tip at least something to an entertainer) but never do tip, or if someone causes me abuse.. also if your the only entertainer in the place it means everyone is listening to you doesn't it

I'm disappointed that some folks are already referring to /deny as if it'ssupposed to allow forced-tipping when that very reason was why nearly half the entertainer community didn't want it in the first place.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'ni' at will to old ladies.
