Ability to forward notifications in game

[seabasstion]

I think the ability to forward a notification to another user would be beneficial in certain situations.

 

For example

 

Nation a attacks nation b

Nation a gets countered hard

Nation a claims they were espionaged by nation b a few days prior

Nation b claims this didn't happen

Nation a produces a screenshot showing it did

 

The problem with this though is screenshots can be faked very easily by inspect element changes. Aside from asking someone for a temporary password to go in an see for themselves there is not a sufficient way to prove this exists should one desire to.

 

It would be very nice if there was a built in feature to forward server generated messages to other users. Obviously copy/paste is a joke and inspect element can be changed to anything and look just as official

 

 

Alternatively an alliance notification system that reports the latest n number of spy and war notifications would serve this function as well, where min permission systems like the bank features could be used to access them

 

I find myself in a situation now where the inner sleuth in me is dying for something like this, so I figured this probably has happened before and the ability for vindication would be quite nice

This idea sounds good, but I know some people will be mad that they can't lie about this anymore.

I don't think this is necessary, and takes out the element of trust, which should be important. Why do you think you should get a 100% guarantee that when someone tells you X happened it's true? I think it makes for a much more interesting dynamic when that's not the case.

Anyone who fakes a screenshot has no !@#$ life anyway. Faking copy/paste text alone is a pretty good sign of a no lifer. 

I'm with Sheepy. This is not necessary by any means.

You're thinking of it from the other side of the coin.

 

I think the issue is i would like the option to 100% guarantee what I am saying is true to someone else. If an outside party claims something didn't happen and I have solid proof I do, I have no way to share this proof without the default skepticism of it being a screenshot fake

Pretty much this. Things are much more interesting when trustworthiness is in question. I've seen systems with a way to forward stuff & it was pretty boring & closed off possible fa tactics.
