Googly-eyed people

It wouldn't be twinking if you kept wearing it continuously the whole time.  You wore it on day 1, you were still wearing it on day 10, still wearing it on day 35, and, yes, still wearing your raggedy old newbie clothing on day 50.  Becoming badass while wearing nothing but newbie clothing is so cool that you get to keep wearing it for as long as you want.

Putting your newbie clothing in a trunk on day 1, wearing other stuff for 49 days, and then changing back into your newbie clothing on day 50:  probably twinkish.


Keeping several outfits, including newbie clothing, and switching between them is cool.  Nothing is more pathetic than a rich guy who only owns one shirt and wears it all the time.   :roll:   A desperately poor person might wear everything they own all the time, particularly if they don't have a family home or gang hideout to keep spares.  But a normal "middle class" who has been established for a while could totally have several outfits.  Even if you don't want to waste money washing your clothes, having several shirts so that each one can spend some time airing out will help keep you less stinky (some of the outdoor room descriptions in Allanak indicate that laundry is hung outside).  You might be able to dodge accusations of twinkery by wearing your newbie outfit often, say at least 50% of the time, throughout your career -- it would be dicey.


A better way is to wear clothing that is similar to the newbie clothing, but not exactly the same.  A basic shirt, pants and boots set, or an aba leggings and sandals outfit.  This way you are dressing like a normal resident of that city, but not deceptively using newbie clothes.  The actual newbie clothes are unnecessary to the scam anyway, people are likely to judge anyone not in leathers to be a non-combat character.




For Old Skool Cool points, wear an obsolete newbie outfit.  Remember when everyone wore black shoes?!?  Ha, those were the days.  Or the even older days when everyone wore the shirt and black pants (no shoes!) that you still get to wear in the HoK.
