First off: I want to say that I did take the time and searched the forums to see if anything like this has been suggested before, and was unsuccessful at finding anything. If though I missed a thread that relates to this subject, please forgive my oversight.

Okay, so here's the jist of my suggestion/thought:

*Having the feature to "hide"/sort your items(not amenities) in your cell.

-as listed in the title some examples of "hiding places" are: (1)in your mattress; (2)in the tank of your toliet; (3)behind the books in the bookcase,(4)shoebox under your bunk, ect. I'm sure if this suggestion is well liked, and is possible to be added without a lot of difficulty, Mu and his crew will be able to come up with some great ideas!

*I think that there can be TWO uses of this feature:

-1st,the ability to sort your items. For example, you could organize your items to your liking: stamina items in your shoebox, energy items in your mattress, combination items in your bookcase, and your rare items in your toilet tank. Of course these are only examples of how you can sort,everyone would have the ability to "hide" their items however they would like and change, too, the sorting of their items,(as often as they like,but of course for a fee just like changing your code to your cell), which comes into play in the second part of the feature...

-2nd,When someone raids your cell they only have the option to search one "hiding place" in your cell. So if someone raids my cell, and they chose to search my book case the might only be able to steal my chocolate and energy drink stash, but if they decided to search my shoe box they might be able to snag my ruby slippers and candy corn, and so on.

I think this feature can be beneficial to the game in a couple of ways. First, a way to sort items in your cell, as there is not currently a way to. Secondly, it would add another element to the raiding process, and give the person being raided a little bit of control on the randomly selected items that are stolen.

Please forgive me that this is a bit rough on the edges and rather long...its 3am and I wanted to get it out of my mind while it was fresh. I am sorry for such a long post but I wanted to fully explain my idea. I hope that this will bring a good discussion, I welcome constructive criticism, as well as, other additions to my idea.

Lastly, thank you to all that took the time to read this and I look forward to the comments! -Gramz

That's actually pretty creative! Raiders will no longer get a portion of almost everything if hidden spies wont notice some items and reports will be off lol nice idea grammzzzzz

Phoenix...That was the basis for my original thought... I get aggravated when I go to use an item and I have no kind of formula to the way my items are organized. I may be a bit OCD... but then the whole "hiding" and added defense to raiding starting flowing in. I'm glad to get a positive response so far. I just don't know how well it would work as far as actually making it happen on Mu's end of things.

lol i am ocd and find both the cell and the items frustrating since u cannot arrange them in the order u use them the most but ure idea would be a good change for us tidy ladys ohh and tidy men if there are any lol

At least with your cell you can set up "presets" and save them... that's he only way I've figured to "sort" amenities.

will there be a limited space of X items you can actually hide and the X space you have available

Creative idea but come to think of it there would be a whole load of scripting to be done on the ammens as well and to add to it what if lets say you hide your EDS in your bookcase, and if you remove the bookcase will the items go back to your inventory or will it stay in the bookcase and while this is an added security for raiding it will also defeat the purpose of raiding as it is a game of chance and there is a bigger chance that you wont be able to raid anything, which than MU would have to do something to balance that out, maybe raid more than 1 item, lets say 1% of the total amount.

PS: While at this, would be great if Mufasa would create a new ammen call "the bag" where you can add 30-40 lump of coals into it to create a bag of coal.

My idea is no... if you wanted to hide all of your items in one "hiding place" that would be your right(although with raiding concept i think the idea would be to spread out your items in order to lessen the chance of them being stolen)... we don't have a limit (that i know of) to how many items in our possession now so i don't see why that would change. However that is just how my idea is laid out in my mind... I don't know if that would work for the logistics of the game or not.
