Maybe you could add a message to sposor items, like in the movie. And it could cost you more than just an items.

When you sign a book you put your name on it, so if you use it to abuse someone they can take a screenshot and report you :p
For some reason I was thinking it could be sent without being signed :p

There could probably just be a restriction to force people to sign before they send though.

Also, I think these 'letters' should be limited to 1 page, thus avoiding abuse by giving too much information or by allowing people to falsely accuse another player of abuse (e.g. Screenshot of abusive letter, screenshot of a letter signed by someone else). This probably didn't make too much sense, it it can be summed up as letters can be one page only.

Agreed... so -
  • Limited to one page.
  • Cannot be sent unsigned.
  • Legitimate material for abuse and can be reported.
Possibly...
  • Sent seprately for a set price....
or
  • Sent with a sponsered item for extra charge.
If all of these limitations were in place this could possibly work as a spectator to player action. It punishes for abuse, and is limited so it cannot be overdone.

*Linked to thread, so I'm necro'ing it :)*
I say it should be sent as a note with a different sponsor item. They should just add a bit to the price of every item if the spectator wants to give the player the note. If the spectator doesn't want to give the note, it shouldn't be required of course. But you shouldn't be able to send JUST the note. Then it could be like the messages Haymitch sent Katniss during the Hunger Games with the few items he sponsored.
Of course, lots of players would try and send messages that could help the sponsored player, but I don't think it's that much of a problem when you can't write messages more than a page.

I like the idea, but...isn't that just giving your points to give somebody else more points? I think someone with two computers could easily abuse this to get free points D:
They don't transfer the points, they just pay the points to sponsor the item...
