Green Indicator if someone is in your mob

one of the more frustrating things about turfwars - (which is imo a very good game) is the message "already in your mob" - surely there could be an addition which puts a little indicator beside names when they are already in your mob - even if this was done on the invite forum it would help hugely.
Of course an invite button would be great when you open a players profile as well :-)

Other thought I would have would be - why can't non-custom invite codes be all numeric - same as temps are.
More time playing and less time with the typing codes you have already have would mean more money for the developers

All numeric codes would suck

is it not better to type 12345 rather than ABCD1234 :-)

What do you think of the first suggestion though - surely there could be a way of seeing at a glance if someone is in your mob already - esp for someone with your mob size it would make things so much easier ?

Why do you need to know if they are in your mob?

Temps are not all numeric

I punch codesites. Mob indicators wouldn't do much

On the invite forum then at least you could see if you had that person added already - i guess maybe you veteran players don't invite from there anymore - and just use code sites completely ?

On a more general comment - using this mob info as something other than just a numeric value could also lead to more possibilities in terms of game play in the future
say whether or not someone is in your mob could be used - for example player x is fighting player y - maybe allow attacking only when they are not in each others mob - or say that common mob could be taken out of the fight equation. The variables in terms of winning/losing a fight seem fairly predictable at the moment.

anyways disregard if you think its a dumb idea :-)

It doesn't matter if they are in your mob. I strongly object to the idea that I could not attack over 19,500 people. That leaves me attacking noobs that are protected by The Don or spending hours removing people from my mob so that I could attack them. I can't see anyway that idea would work.

Point taken - I guess the thing that bugs me though is mob count is such a blind number and fights are pretty much decided before they're started I'm sure that mob members were intended to be something different than just a figure when this game was started

If you couldn't attack people in your mob then you would have massive alliances and everyone would be forced into alliances.

This is not always true. It also depends on what weapons & armor people have, using armor piercing rounds, V's, etc. Even running the numbers ahead of time won't always predict it, due to the random factor.

So if a 1000k mob attacks say a 5000k mob Theres a chance 1 in a 100 or whatever that the smaller mob can win ?

No, you have to be at least 80% of their size I think to win one outta a bunch.
