Alliance Chat - Leadership Identifiers

I've looked around some and couldn't find this suggested anywhere, but please tell me if it is:

I was thinking that Leaders and Vice-Leaders should have some sort of identifier in Alliance chat. At first I thought about just putting 'Leader' or 'Vice' next to their name, similar to 'VIP' and 'Expert', but then I thought that had potential to conflict with people who are also 'VIP' or 'Expert'. So I think that an icon next to their name would work just as well. I think that this identification of leadership in an alliance would serve two main purposes:

1) Allow alliance members to easily determine if a message is from a leader/vice and thus needs to be regarded as such.

2) Allow leaders and vices to more easily spot what other leaders/vices are doing which will make it easier to evaluate leadership and make changes, if needed.


EDIT: Maybe a better implementation would be to make the names of the leaders/vice-leaders a different color in alliance chat.

EDIT: Here are some examples of ideas:
1) username LEADER or username VICE
2) username *symbol* (kinda like the pvp symbol)
3) username (something like that)

I like the idea.

To make it work Haypi would just need to add a highlighting to the text box when a leader / vice speaks - similar to how it looks when you click to highlight, but with different colours.

Re: Alliance Chat - Leadership Identifiers

Great idea!! Maybe add the leader and vice icons in world chat too. I think icon only because you have the Username, VIP, Crown/rank, then the vice/leader. Expert instead of vip, also, would just make that rediculous. Should just be a colored icon. For ex. red for leader and yellow for vice.

Re: Alliance Chat - Leadership Identifiers

Yeah, I wouldn't want the fact that I'm a leader/vice to be displayed in wc. I don't want rival alliances to see that. That's just a neon sign by my name saying "Attack me. Wipe me out, (insert alliance here)."

Re: Alliance Chat - Leadership Identifiers

aww. I'm not a chicken. lolz. AND I LIKE NEON THANK YOU!!!

lol, jkjk. People likely would target all vice and leaders in world chat this ways. IT woudld be fun!!!! LOL

Ac identifiers for vices/leaders would still be cool though. Even though ppl should already be aware of their vices and leader. Perhaps a different colored symbol for each vice position and then the leader could make each color a different job title for the vice position if so desired. ^^
