Request - Give space / avoid others type plug-in

[mikeweber83]

I'm not sure if this is more of a question or a request. I've been looking for a utility that will force my group to avoid encroaching on other players / groups.

In my head it would detect a group of N or more players within X radius of each other based on location info. Then average their location and draw basically a camp around them and ignore any targets in "their" camp.

I haven't seen anything like this nor do I know if it's possible but it seems very doable based on information available to MQ.

Essentially I would rather give up ground than get into it with someone that I don't notice moved in

I dunno if other automations do, but the cwtn plugins won't pull more that are too close to other people.

Mq2posse and even myseq can give you warnings or do things if players get within a radius of you

Unfortunately what you're describing is kind of a tall order, because the other people don't know about this.

Imo, I just try and avoid being where other people are

I would like to chime in and state that Sic's laste statement is ultimately my preference as well.

If another dude so much as zones in I'm usually peacing out. It just isn't worth repeating any of the drama and/or hassle that I've dealt with in even a limited amount of time dealing with this stuff (a couple years, compared to a couple decades for some of the vets).
Edit: Would like to mention Alert Master, has some similar features of mq2posse.

You can sort of do this manually, as Sic described by just generally avoiding people and busy camps.
There are many ways to keep tabs on which camps are busy, of course doing a /enter to see how many are in zone is always a good idea.
Then you can determine if a /pickzone is up. I usually look for a lower population zone to begin with.

Another good tool is Goods' maps with the 2nd layer turned on. You can zoom in on named camps to remove clutter without going there to see if players are nearby.
To add to all this, I'd just say that sometimes a quick whisper goes a very long ways. Most people are receptive to good communication and will agree to split a camp or move themselves.

I avoid complete zones with people in them if i can. Seriously. The less people the better. If the zone is full of people i won't even turn on automation and do everything with ISBoxer broadcasting.
