LaPlace Update Ideas
#1
Two Suggestion in one, both for the LaPlace Request System.

First Suggestion is theoretically the simplest and is infact itself a two-fold suggestion.
Part A is adding an extra section in the menu labeled Archive where you can send Uncompleted Requests so that you can clear up the 'Inbox' for stuff you actually plan to clear or whatever.
Part B is adding another extra section labeled Timed where requests from other players are recieved. This is where the real meat of Suggestion 1 comes in.

Players can send requests like the ones sent by npcs and these can be accepted by other players, they can select a single item and/or stack of murai to be given as a reward and request a stack of murai, a message(i'll get to this later), or enter a system similar to the crafting system but instead of displaying your inventory and recipes known it displays every base item in the game in the recipe section while showing any item that can modify that item in two specific ways, materials and customization parts, in the inventory zone. This would allow people to order slightly customized weapons(leaving anything they can't or didn't customize up to the crafter/fullfiller to decide as it works with the NPC requests), sell stuff they looted or crafted, and another thing i'll mention later.
To further customize the options the reward and request murai section can be adjusted either give exact value or upper/lower limits(upper for reward and lower for request). These would show on the list as ? Murai and when accepted it would ask how much Murai they wanted it to be which would then ask them to accept a second time to confirm the amount. The Min Murai would be locked to 1 on upper locks and Max Murai would be 9,999 on lower locks with the Max Murai being unable to be set past 9,999.(inspired by the US Government monitoring monetary transactions equalling or exceeding 10 grand iir)
With the messages they would disable the other request entries and would instead provide a 100 character limit message box the player can fill out(no html or other codes and mandatory filtered). Unlike with the other requests they'd get to set how many copies of the request can be accepted before it ceases to show up(for instance recruiting for a run).
The murai and/or items offered as rewards would be taken from the submitter's inventory and placed into the request object(or just a holding box or something), with the instances of variable murai payout or multiple person payout the maximum payout would be taken.
On completion of the request the submitter would recieve a message from Asago(Masari perhaps) giving them the requested objects and a refund of any murai offered that wasn't accepted. For message requests the completion of the request would be up to the submitter to mark in individual messages for each accepter sent from Asago(again perhaps Masari).
One final detail regarding player requests and the reason for the name of the section. By default(and minimum) the time limit for the request to be completed is 10 minutes and the max setting is 1 hour. The requests would show the time remaining in the section where text is shown in the item requests while message requests would show the time limit above the message. Once the time limit expires any open copies of the request are canceled and the entry is removed from the Timed section.


The Second Suggestion is by far more complicated.
Asago Messenger linked into the Laplace devices. Basically it'd ICly be a voice activated text messenger piggy backing on the mail servers. It would use a screen reader to read out-loud any incoming text and would feature rooms to cut down on chatter. When you turn it on you'd be able to send text messages by speaking aloud(say or shout) and everyone with a small range around you would be able to hear the screen reader. This would allow people to send out IC calls for backup(or whatever) while engaged in a fight or other situation where they can't freely use their hands.
It would respond to specific voice commands to open chat rooms and switch chat rooms and log out but would have to be manually turned on by hand(thus a bound prisoner can't send out an SOS). It also can't be used via direct input and thus everyone around you will always know when you are using it and, if near enough, what is being said on both sides of the conversation.
Maybe this system could have a fee like the Teleport Fee or require an upgrade of some sort(maybe premium item or maybe just something they have to acquire via IG means).
However, this entire suggestion is dependant on my understanding that there is currently no long distance IC communication means, if there is and this serves no purpose please do disregard this suggestion.(but don't regard Suggestion 1 because Suggestion 2 is unnecessary)
