You.Yes, you.I'm talking to you.Yeah.You.The Suggestion Box.Now pay attention.Well, as I now become a Well-Known Member (thank you, mba2012!), I look at my profile and see that the EMC social media is missing one thing: The Almighty Friend. Now I do realize that EMC social media and forums is kinda based off Twitter, where there are "Followers" not "Friends". But followers are the people who just click a button because you are famous/funny/friendly. But friends are the ones who really accept you.My point?1. A friends list, where all your EMC friends are.2. A friend request, where they have the decision to accept/deny, unlike following.Friends would also be alerted if you made a new thread or you got a certain number of likes (implying that that post was funny/helpful/just plain good.)
For what do we need that for? I'd not add friends because I think this would just overload my alerts.
i think that would actually create an exclusionary environment tbh, what do you do if someone doesent accept you? also equinox will be everyones friend
I don't agree.If you accept someone as your "Friend",but then reject another, you'd be showing favoritisim, which is NEVER good to show
No, it's not favoritism it's "This person is a huge pain in my butt and just spams everyone so I will not accept them".
Agreed.I'm using a random scenario here.If IceCreamCow sends me a friend request and I accept it, but Aikar sends me one and I don't accept it, does that mean I am showing favoritism?No, it means that i'm not friends with Aikar.
your first post made me think about thisTo not be off topic, wouldnt it be even better if a friend list was implemented inside the game :O? so when you friend enter on any server you will know :O? And with that a friend chat channel can be made :O to talk amongst your friends :O. I know what your thinking, you might get confused if someones not talking to you but so what :O it be coolEdit: but this can wait until wasteland and dragon tomb comes out. Been waiting on those
Well, it depends.If Aikar was a spammer and that was the reason you rejected him, that is not favoritisim.Next sencerio:Me (me)ICC ("Cool" person)Aikar (Nerd)I get a request from ICCMe: OMG! I got a request from ICC! I'd NEVER think that he would talk to me! *Accept*I get a request from AikarMe: Ew, why is HE taking up space in my box? *This is not pointed to anyone* He'll just be a (Censored) to me just because i'm an Atheist! And besides, he hangs out with ALEX! Who hangs out with ALEX? he's a Geek! *Reject*That, my friend, could happen.

That isn't favoritism either.Favoritism would be "I want to be friends with ICC. But not Aikar. I have to accept his request though. I guess I could just never talk to Aikar."Definition of favoritism:The practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another.
