Declined Adding repeat whistle in jailbreak server

[Dr.Bobert]

In my time playing jailbreak I have noticed that calling for a repeat is sometimes hard to come by depending mostly depending on who the warden is. But in some cases asking for a repeat in chat via "!repeat" may be left unnoticed by the warden and there for will not know they needed a repeat which will most likely to leave you KOS for "Delaying" when hindsight you were just waiting for a repeat. Currently the only sure fire way to get a proper repeat without dying is to request for one via voice chat but the problem is not everyone has a mic so its not always guaranteed. This feature will make sure everyone gets a repeat that they require to proceed through the game without dying for "Delaying and not asking for a repeat". There are some visual queue warden see that will indicate that a repeat is being ask "!repeat" however that does not seem like enough because warden has to pay attention to many things and may not even notice that a repeat is being asked in chat or a banner is being shown so if you were to have a audible queue as well it will be a lot easier to notice and get the repeat you want. You might be think this can be abused and to that I say yes but however in my experience playing on server with this feature this is a hardly an issue that occurs in normal play and also you could add a longer timer for the next time you ask for repeat but not to long.

Example:

I think that this is a good idea as it would help the warden as you said. However, it's not currently considered as delaying to ask for a repeat and if someone does kill you then that is a freekill.

This would be abused

 

[Dr.Bobert]

ok maybe no delay in asking for repeat however i think this would out weigh the draw backs because I would rather get an actual repeat than die trying also you do not need to make the whistle that loud like wonderland for example.

 

[RainbowRobb]

It does not appear you have been reporting being freekilled.....Has this problem worsened recently?

 

[Dr.Bobert]

Its not happening for me much because I tend to use my mic for a repeat but when others asked for it with the command sometimes they don't give it because it's kinda hard to notice. To be honest sometime I don't even notice so most of the time I would repeat my order several times just in case someone was not clear with me saying it the first time. This is not for my benefit its for others to benefit without mics or got muted.

Agreed. Even the saysounds have a cooldown, and can also be disabled. A repeat whistle would be used for nothing more than drowning out the warden at every opportunity. Its warden's responsibility to ensure no one has asked for a repeat before finishing an order: theres static proof that an individual has done so in chat (even if they use /repeat), which is all the warning necessary. Imo, adding more noise pollution won't make enough of a difference to be worth its existence.

 

[Dr.Bobert]

Without a doubt this will be abused by a few individuals however that should not be a excuse to remove a valuable tool that can benefit everyone. So it would be nice to test this to see how much it will be abused whether it is a little, a lot, or nothing at all. Normally things that are added will be abused on the first day and a few of the following days but eventually it will be forgotten and people will just see it as another feature.

We had it. It was annoying. It was no more helpful than warden looking at chat. They won’t care if there’s an additional noise. It was removed.

 

[Dr.Bobert]

Sometimes its just as obnoxious for a person with a mic to ask for a repeat several times even after he got a repeat which in my opinion can be alot more annoying then a whistle.

Asking repeats over mic several times after getting one is mic spam and you can report them for that. Spamming repeat whistles through a command can’t be stopped by gags.

Doing that will just get you muted if you spam or overtalk warden. If this would be added, the whistle could be spammed even if the player was gagged, meaning that as things are now, the individual(s) would have to be banned should he/she/they repeat spam for no reason.
Im sure a plugin could be put in place to rectify this, but it seems like more trouble than its worth.

They won’t care if there’s an additional noise.

Maybe a beacon idk but they can just read the chat lol

Unfeasible. If you are being freekilled because people aren't giving repeats, you are more than welcome to report them.
