Notify crew on votes via banner

    It is an hassle to organize voting, especially among players who prefer using voice and texting comms. I propose recycling the banner system for treasures and use it to update players during the voting.

    Preferably the banner system will be added in the voting of:

    • Voyage
    • Banishing a crew-member to brig
    • Scuttling the ship

    Also we need the banner system to:

    • Notify crew when a vote begins and what is proposed
    • The current tally of votes for and against
    • The victor of the vote

    EDIT: Also add the much-needed contextual voting message for text players. Such as "I proposed a voyage", "Everyone come to the cabin and vote", and "I am [insert rank] among this [guild]" message

    Absolutely agreed.

    A prompt would be extremely helpful when voice comms aren't an option.

    Agree, seeing as how there's no text communication relating to "For the love of God, come vote!"

    There is one chat emote on the watch for "It's time to vote", but I agree more could be useful.
    Maybe a contextual thing with voting-related quips when you are in interaction range of the table?

    In the current system, yes I think they should just make voting something that comes up on screen and you choose what you want. However, I think there's a better option, and that's to take out voting entirely. You would still have your voyages, but to propose them, you wouldn't put it down on the table, you'd just read it to your crew, or flip it around so they can see, and then everybody on the team says "yeah let's go do that one" and you set out. I would prefer that, but as it stands, I'd at least like to see some kind of notification on screen that someone proposed a voyage.
