Scout Roll Agreement 2017

[Nathaniel]

From reading this thread now it seems those who don't agree are the ones posting the most. Some even seem to wanna give the image that they are "winning". However the poll result speak for itself.

I also wonder how many of those who voted "no" here are currently frequenting Scout rolls? Proably not many. If we would take this poll among the people that are actually going out to WW every 10 hours, the difference between "yes" and "no" would be much, much bigger.

Also, the "problem" is not as big as it may seem in this thread. Most scout rolls are going really well and most people respects that they are rolling for their own character.

It seems to me this could all be solved very simply. When you agree to the terms of the roll, you should have to specify whether or not you are rolling for yourself. This would have no effect on your winning the roll. Why? Because the roll is about avoiding autofire and similar macro clicking issues, nothing else.

So why declare that it's not for you? Because a lot of people who happily help with the fight after may not want to help someone doing it for a friend, or doing it to sell. If they're going to help someone, it seems reasonable that they should get to know who they're ultimately helping.

Maybe I'm missing something, but that seems like the option that will satisfy the most people. Equally important, it would actually be viable (since, as we have to remember, everything about this is "opt-in"), because as part of a valid player-made agreement the GMs could intervene if someone lies.

Good post. I understand that we can't force the agreement on everyone, but for those rolling to give away lootrights for whatever reason, please let this be known before pull so people have the choice of not helping with the kill. You should bring your own force in this case imo.
