#

/whois {player}
Brings up the specified player's mini-profile.

#

Currently, you have to open the social panel, type their name in and click the small "Look for X on the Tetra Channel?" text

i think its a good idea

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

short alias could be /wi {player}
it could look at who's in the lobby and auto fill the rest if you don't type it in exactly (and it is not already a users name)

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

or /profile

#

/profile (random name) and shows the profile

#

if you dont see a list of commands you would never get that /whois is a thing but probably /profile could be

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:33 AM

#

it could be both

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:33 AM

#

yeah another option

#

and with /profile abreviated would be /pf

#

vapid folio you can also **__→→usually←←__** just click their username in the chat

what if they dont type anything

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

well they joined the room right

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

their name isn't always in chat -- like if you're spectating a game, or you connect to a match after your opponent

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

and in tetra league you dont see "random joined the game"

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

you can

#

just not always

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

in tetra league mid match

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

in tetra league it's usually a toss up who's joined first

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

i sometimes cant see it at the start

#

and the other player dont type anything

'whois' or profile command to open user's profile

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

ok i've updated my message

#

if it's available it's a million times more convenient

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

but if not

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

i understand it's not sometimes but holy shit

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

also its very inconvenient for keyboard warriors

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

think it for tetra league and not for quick play

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

i was just MENTIONING it

#

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

#

and also it would be great if you are searching a username but dont know exactly the spelling and show names similar to that so you dont have to type the exact username to search in tetra channel and if you know what profile to search a code like clash of clans bases

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

well if they're in your room you can just hit TAB to autocomplete

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

you can?

#

!!

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

always, yes

#

even while typing normal chat messages

dire island Dec 3, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

i wish I knew that hahah

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

also if we're being really picky you can't always use the social system to search for arbitrary usernames either

stark juniper Dec 3, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

vapid folio well if they're in your room you can just hit TAB to autocomplete

but if not

vapid folio Dec 3, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

if not then there's literally no other search backend

#

this greatly expands the request

#

tetr.io only does carbon copy matching right now

E.G. if you're trying to search for a BOB and BOBETTE's your friend, BOBETTE will inhibit the results and you won't be able to access their usercard from the social menu
