Jove asked for more entertainment in another post.
I thought a basic element that could be implmented would be a droppable text object. This would allow textual information to be hidden in the landscape, left at home, etc.
Perhaps games, activities could be facilitated with it.
The text would be non-volatile, unlike messages that are gone after read.
Limiting the size to something like a couple hundred characters would allow easier implementation.
Thoughts?
Erm, i dont think this would be allowable.
Can you not imagine the amount of work MA would have to do because i keep dropping texts like ‘Aio is the motherfucking best, bitches!’ ? :laugh:

obviously your text writing tool would decay, so they wouldn’t mind so much 
pen and paper
datapads
this stuff has been asked for before.. it would really facilitate treasure hunts etc..
but it might cause littering. =/ Give it a beaconlight and set properties like ‘expires after 50 days’ ‘is pickupable’ ‘is NOT pickupable’
etc =)

All true.
One thing that could be done with text is to create a library in the game and post all the docs inside, noob guides, etc. Notice boards, etc.
It depends on how real you want the game. If it gets too real, what’s the point? There are times when I wish things like complete maps and documentation were extant in the game, and I didn’t have to leave the game to get to them.
Littering? I’d make the paper and pen cost. As in rl, people could pick up for recycling and make a few ped.
Having said that, I can see, though, how it may be far enough off topic from the main thrust of the game that it’s not really beneficial.
I would like an ingame forum, where you could post up.
Chalk could be lootable or at least craftable and could be used to write messages until if was finally decayed. Messages could also be removed with a sponge that also could be lootable/craftable, but required water.

Hehe, good idea.
About the chalk, it is easy to implement.
Make the chalk like a tool that you can use. When clicking on button, you will get a message box. There you can write message and select font used to write it with. After you finish message with success, you can place message at ground like mounting. It will not be pickable, but ppl can clear it (with melchi water )

I always thought that it would be neat if a collorator can be modified to do other things than color clothes..
Like one mod can make it a paint-ball gun.
Another mod makes it a spray gun that can be used to write or draw with like airbrush.
With the airbrush mod you can tag the walls in hadeshime or other places (the tags last a limited amount of time)
You would be able to use it to make murals on the ground or the wall or just tag random scrawlings in places.
If you tag up someplace you own your tag can be permanant..
Like if you have an apartment you can theoretically repaint your walls or just make it look like a teen gang banger’s hideout.
In paint ball gun mode it would fire globs of paint at people within pistol-carbine range. Unlike normal weapons that can be used only in pvp zones this would be useable anywhere. When you shoot someone the paint splotches would stay on them unitl they die, relog, are hit a certain number of times or a certain amount of time passes.
It might be a good ide. What’s lacking in PE is the possibility to advertise. MA makes us buy a lot of stuff, from land, hangars, shops etc, but there is no way the owners can advertise what you are selling. You have to do it the old fashion way, like shouting it out in the streets.
If you have a property, you visit a website like this, and try to advertise whatever you are selling here. If websites like this and similar websites would go off the internet, where are those who invested thousands of peds advertise? I think that is a big disadvantage in PE that there is no way you can advertise.
You don’t need to have big billboards, you can have something similar to an auction, where you click on land, shopkeepers, hangar etc and get information about what’s selling. The person who wants to advertise just pays a fee per day etc.
So, let’s start with chalk!
