[Discuss] Any plans to introduce a new island?

[Mark Rhoads]

Hey, I am new to battlemaster and the message boards, so I don't know how all this works. I do agree there is a lot of spamming going in most of the realms. I do not know if it has been suggested but I think having an option where a person can mute some of the messages they get would be great.
   
  For me I love the RP messages people send but I can image for others the love isn't there.. so for example, have a filter that people can enable on the option menu to not send them any RP messages, or a filter that stop reports being sent to them. One thing that should not be allowed to be turned off is the orders.
   
  Over all I like the idea of forming private message groups... if it were able to identify consenting people for easy communication that won't spam others or spam people that don’t care to be messaged.
   
  Also with forming a new island, it would be great if it would have more turns, maybe have three turns a day for us who are slightly addicted :/

The thing is, for most people, the "whole duchy" does not reach the 
right people so they don't use it. Picking individual recipients every 
time you send a message in a realm with 80-100(not to mention 150+!) 
nobles is a cumbersome task so people avoid doing that as much as they 
can. This leads to most people sending everything to the whole realm, 
unless it's just a single person they want to talk to.

It just boils down to the issue that the message system does not handle 
discussion within a small group very well and people are trying to use 
it as some sort of a forum that allows free discussion about everything. 
It's a lot of work sending messages to small groups and people don't 
want to see a lot of trouble just to send a message.

Now, we did talk about this a while ago on IRC and a few ideas were 
thrown around. I remember most notably personal message groups. The king
can already form message groups, why not let an individual player to 
form a few private groups that only he himself can see and use? Maybe 
allow message groups such as that to be forwarded as scribe notes to 
others for easy replication and inclusion in the group? I don't know how 
hard it would be to implement or if it's even possible, but it would 
probably cut down on the amount of messages people send to the whole realm.
