Suggestion - After Death Identification - Rust

There should be a knife in the game with only one purpose. After you gank someone, you should be able to use the knife to cut off their head, once that is done, their name should be on the thumbnail afterwards. Then you should be able to create a wood spit, and be able to add each persons head you've capture on the spit to place in the ground wherever you like, say like in front of your fortress.

You should seek therapy.

Just... No. It only further glamorizes PvP which most people are up in arms about currently.

Exactly, I think for PvP loving servers, this is great. You're right though, for PVE people, this is out there lol

[QUOTE=Babys;43217261]Exactly, I think for PvP loving servers, this is great.

To be fair I suppose it's better than collecting scalps or penises... That being said, however, some indicator of who has killed how many could be useful, a system for that might be nice so you know if you should keep your distance, approach with caution, or ask for help.

I think this would be a cool warning sign to stay away from bases. It says that these players are killers and if you come close to their base you may end up on the end of that stick.

What about a necklace, and each kill you make, a tooth is added to it, that way you know how many you killed, and everyone who is close enough to count them knows as well? It would definitely show who is hostile and who is not.

I just feel that this would slip in nicely with the caveman/tribe-like feel of the game

[QUOTE=Babys;43217333]I just feel that this would slip in nicely with the caveman/tribe-like feel of the game[/QUOTE] Read my edited post, what do you think of that instead? Far less gruesome, but still serving a similar purpose.

Well I do something similar to this, I have boxes outside my fortress everywhere I sometimes have to replace them but they are absolutely full of rocks. This does freak people out and they tend to not go near your house.

You know, maybe like the ability to censor nudity you can make it heads or necklaces(your choice) depending on your preference.

There was a guy in the British Army that was wounded in Afghanistan, when they were going through his kit they opened up his canteen and found it was full of fingers, just sayin'.

[QUOTE=Babys;43217364]You know, maybe like the ability to censor nudity you can make it heads or necklaces(your choice) depending on your preference.[/QUOTE] In that case yeah, I'd support this, it would be a cool way to show off your kills and let people know they better stay the fuck away. [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Babys;43217411]It's gruesome IRL but in-game it's funny, accurate, and useful[/QUOTE] I'd be all over an idea like this, as long as you got the choice of hand or teeth (or both,) so that people can see where a killer's house is, and out and about, who is a killer. This might be kinda cool.

[QUOTE=jonnymad;43217402]Oh god, any chance you got a link to that story? I gotta see that :v:[/QUOTE] Sorry not got a link, I won't say what unit was involved only that it happened in Helmand 2011. You may find something if you search around.

[QUOTE=jonnymad;43217245]Just... No. It only further glamorizes PvP which most people are up in arms about currently.[/QUOTE] ...? Even if they're bandit heads? You could have the heads of notorious bandits serve as a sort of currency. I'd like to see it.

[QUOTE=ghosevil;43217504]...? Even if they're bandit heads? You could have the heads of notorious bandits serve as a sort of currency. I'd like to see it.[/QUOTE] As long as you can identify who's head it is, yeah I guess it would be alright. Still rather gruesome though, bandit or not.

Worst idea I've ever read.

[QUOTE=ghosevil;43217504]...? Even if they're bandit heads? You could have the heads of notorious bandits serve as a sort of currency.

[url]http://uo.stratics.com/content/reputation/bounties.shtml[/url] Players put up their own money for the head of a PK (Player Killer). The heads were turned in to city guards to collect the bounty. The system worked because at the time the murder system punished player killers with a resurrection penalty. They were granted reprieve from the resurrection penalty if they waited in game for each murder to time out (like 4 hours per murder).

I am for the idea of killer identification, but perhaps something more subtle, a cloth flag with the name of the person you killed painted on it that you could hang outside your base as a warning maybe? And for the bounty system so others can see that it was the right person? I think it would look pretty cool to hang dozens of flags outside my base to scare noobs away.

1. Get pistol 2. Kill freshspawns 3. Build 1x1 4. Place heads around house Congrats, you just made the system counter-productive.

But your point is valid, what would stop people just smacking new spawns with a hatchet and getting their heads to make themselves seem threatening??
