I understand the hatred for mainstream games that get cranked out yearly that are little more than wallet gobblers. But you can't honestly argue that Call of Duty is a bad game. It's so successful because of what it does right. Stat tracking and all. Don't be so jelly.

Back on topic: Features that I'm nearly certain will be included in this (when/if we build it):

1a) Individual gang members opt into their stats being displayed

1b) There may be different areas: i.e. a member might want to show weekly gains, but not base stats.

2) Gang leaders decide which ranks can see the stat page (like shoutbox, etc)

3) Gang leaders will obviously always be able to see stats for all members that opted in

4) A member may refuse to opt in. Your stats are not immediately available to see simply by joining a gang.

These decisions were made because personal control of privacy is paramount. Some players really would not like their base stats shared.

Sounds fair, but if a member dont want to share his/her stats, will the leader be able to over ride their decision, and still view them?

No.

Privacy, etc.

Dont like this part then, if i cant see their stats, they shouldnt be in a gang to start with, fuck the privacy.Think this would cause a large conflict..

perfect, thanks KT. Obviously wit the holidays im sure you guys have a lot planned as far as events go, hope this is something that is decided on and look forward to it in the future.

as a gang leader you have control over who is in or out, make it a requirement or they get the boot

This post, combined with your previous post about bribery to share the stats, lead me to believe that what you have is a collection of untrustworthy ass hats; not a gang/family.

Also, as Sun_Tzu said, if you must have gang stats, then tell members before joining that they will have to enable the feature to be a member.

i have a very trust worthy club, im speaking on behalf of over all gangs.

what Sun_Tzu is saying is the way to handle it..

Im out, good luck with it.

I suppose you make a good point. I obviously know nothing about you or your gang, so I apologize for my previous statement.

However, if a member does fear that their stats might be shared, at least forcing users to opt into the gang stat feature offers a method of preventing those players from having their stats shared in the unfortunate event that somebody does copy-paste the stats.

(off topic)

Call of Duty games arent bad, ok maybe a few of them are shittier than the other more successful ones, but considering the budget theyve got (Megan Fox?!) its close to impossible to make a bad game. I bet 200 successful indie games couldve been made on the same budget. It still dont change the fact that they crap out games yearly and fan boys rush to get "Call of Duty: Fuck around in space and get dodged by fish that move when you get close to them" so they can do pretty much exactly what they were doing in the game before that. But ahwell thats gaming..

(On topic:)

What you guys are talking about is simple trust-issues within a gang it seems...? I doubt top gangs got that

youre overthinking things Lou; trust issues/not agreeing on requirements is something most people have dealt with the day gangs came out. An example would be Gang vaults - could easily be cleaned out by some shady fucker in your gang, the real question is however; why the would you even have a shady fucker in your gang to begin with?

All im saying is staff dont have to baby-proof everything for us with a bunch of settings.
