Content Suggestion Name colour/tag changing to your disguise card when using /r

[Tiago]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
If disguised, make it show the name of the disguised person (via the disguise card) when using /r for the radio, as it stands, if you use /r while disguised, it shows your actual tag and name, making it easy to metagame.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Don't believe so.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
No metagaming;
Small change (i assume)

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
None.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Just a small change to stop metagaming when your disguised and use /r while in someone's else's radio frequency.

Oh? Don't you know? I can hear your regiment, rank and real name whenever you speak on radio's. Bold assumption of you to assume I couldn't with my psychic powers.

Comms doesn’t do this so why would radio?

Because deepcovers for example don't have access to Foundation comms?

After a bit of discussion we've come to a potential issue in that people disguised can issue commands as someone they wouldn't really be identifiable as. For example, a CI member takes an A1 CO disguise and types "/r O-1 Hostile". This presents an issue as they shouldn't be able to be differentientate between fake and real people on the frequency, however it also isn't fair for them to assume identities on it either and unlike people speaking you wouldn't have an IC idea who they are as you cannot take a guess by their voice. In order for change to be implemented we need solutions to this issue.

make it a rulebreak to issue hostile orders or something

I mean disguise abuse feels sensible as a rule - However, how on earth do you enforce this? Plus it introduces confusion about whether or not a given order as valid, undermining that whole authority of regiments and such is not really something you want

im aware of the issues but metagaming dc's is a big issue currently

Also, to be fair, they would have to get their Radio Numbers, so unless there's an infobreach that A-1 doesn't know about or they metagame (Because they would just go on the tablet and immediately hit change), I feel that it's near impossible for a CI to guess the channel or even really get the code. If you walk up to an A-1 and ask for the Radio Number, they're gonna know you're a fake. And if they were a GSD saying that O-1 are hostle, no one in GSD Leadership would immediately start killing O-1.

Could it be possible that the members of said regiments use a mysterious tool called "common sense" or learn to perhaps ask for clarification?

Well in a situation where O-1 are actually hostile and an A-1 CO has to call it out while taking fire from them, it'd make sense that they wouldn't particularly be in the position to give specifics while in the middle of a firefight.
