Bandannas, Wraps, and Masks... oh my!!

Should bandannas be able to hide sdesc? Much like a facewrap or mask?

Modify the code so you can 'raise' a bandana, as long as it is in the 'face' location.

Nosave bandana?

Woaaaaah, I swear I posted this in another forum.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

I don't suspect much of a limitation of the code, would it not be simple to add an IF condition that checks to make sure the bandana is in the face slot?

It is easier than I thought, but still something that cannot be easily done--and after I typed this, it became more difficult.  We can change the type of all bandana objects in the game so that they will mask the sdesc when worn on the face or head.  However, I don't think bandanas worn on the head should mask the sdesc.  We could do some other stuff, but that would require writing up some new special values, and then reforming all of these special values on a certain type of object in-game.  There are too many of those to do this easily or efficiently.

With appropriate roleplay of course.

No no, make it so that you can only raise a bandanna when it's around your neck and then it moves to the face slot  ;)

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

There are a ton of items in game already that can do this. It would take a lot of time and work for a change that is... let's be honest, pretty much only aesthetic. So I'm opposed. I can think of a lot of other things staff could be doing that would improve the game world a lot more than letting you wear bandanas to change your sdesc when you already have a large assortment of masks, veils, and facewraps, not to mention hooded cloaks and robes, which do this already.

No one on staff is just waiting for the opportunity to get revenge on someone who killed one of their characters years ago.

Except me. I remember every death. And I am coming for you bastards.

I should still be able to wear my polished tortoise-shell eyebrow ring at the same time as my bandana/facewrap... but yes, I like both of these ideas.

So 27 yes, 5 no.

Whats the final say from staff? Oops.. Should have reread. Thanks Nyr. Guess to much work. :( Ohwell worth a try!

Possible? No? Never? :(


Anymore input from folks?

I said no, purely because a bandanna doesn't cover your entire face. If you were wearing a hood or helmet in conjunction then yeah, but if a dude's wearing a bandanna then I can still see his eyes, nose and hair.

True, but bandanas could be worn in a way to cover the nose, and I'm sure other portions of the face if you get creative with it.

And if you could pick out the bald, blue-eyed guy who had most of his face covered by a bandana in a lineup of bald, blue-eyed guys of the same height and build-- then you're a mindworm.

Also what if they have a bandanna on their head also? So all you see is their eyes!
Ninja wrap.

Though a bandanna up and over your nose would only leave your hair/eyes to view, which hair is easily hidden by your hood.
So leaves only eyes.  Which is why I think sdesc should be hidden. Since most your key features are!

And can still look at the person, if you get the chance!

It's all in the eyes.
