@idea from Toby
To prevent people from "running numbers" on combo locks by creating a text file with something like "push combo on lock" from 0000 to 9999 or whatever, there should be a delay from the time you enter the combo, to the time it unlocks or fails. Maybe something where after so many tries, it shuts down and can't be worked until a few minutes later when you can try again…
Just an idea. .

Yeahuh, something is planned, but until it can be implemented, don't do it. While we don't like to OOCly enforce rules on something that would be ICly doable (punching numbers until you hit the right code), we are doing in this cause simply because there -should- be an IC way to prevent it, but no-ones got round to coding it yet. A time delay or lockout would only part work, a determined script paster would just have to spend a little longer doing it.
We considered a 3 failed attempt lockout, but that would be abused by people wanting to prevent their targets from getting home. Wait for Bob outside his apartment, punch his doorcode a few times so he can't get in when he arrives and then whup his ass.
Eventually there will be a system that allows you to subscribe to optional security services from the company of your choice. They will be called if your door is tampered with… It'll be introduced around the same time I get to working on lockpicks again.
Until then, please don't run lock combos enmass. Yes, it'd be ICly doable, but at the moment it's abusing a code loophole.
Danke.

Ahem, if Stonepunk would get off his ass… I -might- have a workable Security Company soon. Yes, all you lackies out there needing a job, you might find one with good ol Luc. Then again, you might not... *snickers*. Johnny is working on some Security Equipment... and lemee tell you, its awsome... As soon as he can give me a go ahead, I will get TERRA up... I might as well... Then Gun Permits can come into play, lockpick security, etc...
And yes, I reserve the right to crack a lock on an employees door if he/she decides to NOT pay thier bill...
That is all.
(PSSSSST!!! Johnny, give me a hollar when your done with your stuff!! And Stonepunk... @NAME YOURSELF BANKER!!!! I WANT MY CABINET, HOME, AND TERRA BACK!!!!)
Cya in da mix.

*AHEM*
the door electrocutes you after the third failed attempt, and every failed attempt there after. after the 10th failure in a row (The first person will be nearly dead by now) the door locks down untill the propper code/user is there.

Hmm, I actually really like Nicad's idea, but realistically it'd be too damned easy to avoid. Punch the numbers with a pen, rubber glove or random pointy stick (Pointy sticks are the worlds most versatile tool.)
But that said, it'd make a good little deterrent to prevent people tinkering with palm locks, thumbprint scanners and such…

hrmm. true. but it would stop combo running eh?
or it could spray acid from a little hole in the lock. Burn the shit outtah the perp, and mark him as someone who did a bad thing to a door so wjf can find them.
Or…hell, you could have a plethora of upgrades you could add. all for a price. acid shooters, tazers, zappers, dye tags...

It sends an arc of electricity from the pad into the person's face…like one of those stun guns. Or it sets off an alarm after 3 failures whereas a security company shows up and decapitates the person responsible.
In other words, toby. Hide....and hide well for I am watching your every move grasshopper.

Um…Luc. Please don't demand. And if i decide to RP a banker, puppet an npc etc, it's on my terms, not anyone elses. And while you may be joking, the amount of times you bring it up is POO POO.
I am in charge of the RP that goes on in the dome that Admin are involved in, not meaning that other admin don't take part in their own miniplots etc...but i am in charge of paying the most attention to all of your activity. And for the most part i am aware of each character and MOST of the ambitions of that character, If I have talked with you about some RP something, I am most certainly 'working' on it. Meaning that i've heard you and am getting through the requests before yours first...
be patient and i hate having to keep make these posts.
YO JOE!

Heh, Stonemonk,don't worry. I know I probably brought it up too much… but I think I posted that before I knew of your moving situation... if not, I just wanted to piss you off... either way, don't worry about it. For now, I got my work cut out for me as it is... whenever you feel its good ICly, and when your free IRL is fine by me. :P

which reminds me, can we actually get Gun/whore *smirk* permits? I'm pretty sure Tanaka had one at one point, but have never actually seen them mainstream

Heh casey is right luc. I mean even though your lips needa surgecally removed from admin ass, (trust me I know what requires surgery, though I can't spell), you might not EVER get TERRA back, since all the ass you kiss that has the power to give it back is OOC

Dominik, you really need to learn to shut the fuck up. (And how to spell, and type, and all that other shit you can't do well… which is mostly everything...) ICly, look at yourself... you've gone through more gear then Casey has i think... gotten killed almost more times in a given time frame then Mordino... (who holds the record i believe of something like 20 deaths in a week).
OOCly, you kiss everyone's ass but mine. And you try and insult me every chance you get... hehehehehe, its a riot to see ya try. But besides that, I don't kiss ass NEARLY as much as anyone says, if at all. I consider the admin friends (Yes Damon... even you ;-) ) and I want to get this MOO going ASAP. There is so much shit that this place will have that it is mind boggling...

Sooooo…. should we find a combo lock hidden away somewhere going somewhere mysterious and interesting, we should NOT try and break in by punching every combination of numbers?
