#6778, "Small cosmetic fix to death."


          

Could you turn ghost into an affect so that people can see the duration of it?


Spell: 'ghost' for 5 hours.

#6779, "That's not a cosmetic change"

That has pk implications, since it allows someone unghosting to get first attack on you.

At present, it can be bad, but giving the ghost advance notice that is precise in its nature would make it worse.

#6789, "Silly."

You're right, if someone wants to count ticks they can already do this, and basically ghosted people people are already taking advantage of the "surprise" factor anyway. This change wouldn't affect gameplay in this regard at all.

This point seems just too obscure and trivial to matter to me. But, then again, it was my silly idea in the firstp lace.

It's not the same number of ticks every single time, it varies.
