Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

Today, my alliance got this mail:

Planetarion HQ One of your alliance members has been deleted Thu, 10 Jul 10:02 Reply Report Delete
Slacker of inHarmony (2:2:11) has been deleted from the Planetarion Universe. The Universe Policing Agency assumed as their offical alliance leaders, you should be first to know. We hope you are not troubled by this news.

---

How the hell am I supposed to know who this was? Deleted planets dont show up on the dumps, and so they don't show up on most alliance tools. Please add ingame alliance nick to this mail.

yeah sounds good, cant see it being much hassle to put in either.

could be quite simply "...you should be first to know [ally nick] has been deleted. we hope etc"


[insert comedy maybe for denial you should get one about your hc being reset option]

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

well, his nick was slacker. so it was a dead give away!

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

-Munin- Information about slacker: Their sponsor is bluearmy. They have 0 invites left.

Is anyone else as shocked as i am??....

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

Bumped.

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

Your tools should clearly not delete one of your own members just because the dumb does not have the planet anymore.

The mail could of course have the ingame nick. But then again some of your members probably don`t use their normal nicks as ingame nicks. So point is gone.

Fix your tools ;)

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

You got mz wrong there. The member is not deleted from the tools, it is just that there is no lookup anymore for the planet that got deleted. Which makes it about a gazillion times harder to figure out who got deleted than it should be.

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

They don't. It's possible to look up who was a certain planet on a previous tick, but I haven't added a command for that.

I guess you could argue this is a tools bug as much as a PA bug... except that not all alliances have access to tools. So it's clearly a PA bug.

Ah. Incorrect again. At some point someone has had to connect the two, so while we don't have a formal connection, it's easy to figure out who it was based on the ingame nick. Be it Slacker, Pie****er or whatever..

Re: Alliance mail on planet deletion
 

This has been done as of pre bump (though thanks for bumping it mz!)

It gives the co-ords, nickname of member, rank of member (member/hc/etc), and a basic reason for them being deleted.

Am I missing something?
