Add Anti-Grief Measures

To help improve player experiences in Ale & Tale and reduce the potential for griefing, we really need some anti-griefing tools. Below are some ideas for settings and options that players could use to better control their taverns and interactions with others:

Player Toggles for Permissions

These toggles could give hosts control over what other players are able to do within their taverns:

1. Toggle for Gold Spending

   • Allows the host to decide whether other players can spend their tavern’s gold.

2. Toggle for Moving/Removing Furniture

   • Prevents others from accidentally (or intentionally) messing with decorations/furniture.

3. Toggle for Completing Quests/Progression

   • Grants or restricts permission for other players to progress quests or tasks within the shared space.

4. Toggle for Opening/Closing the Tavern

   • Controls whether other players can open or close the tavern without hosts permission.

Password-Protected Lobbies

• Hosts could have the option to create lobbies with a password. Only those who have the password could join, providing an extra layer of security for private tavern sessions.

• Not everyone wants to add other players onto their friends list so this adds a layer of accessiblity to multiplayer.

Kick/Ban System

• Hosts would have the ability to kick or ban disruptive players from their lobby.

• Banned players would be prevented from rejoining the session, ensuring a grief-free environment for everyone else.
