Idea: Changes to Peek

Started by williamson, August 29, 2014, 11:39:31 AM

Here are a couple of ideas to improve the peek skill.

1) Remove the ability to peek under gloves.

2) Add the ability to peek through the keyhole of a door. On a successful peek, you would see the room as if you were in the room and typed "look". Failure would result in an echo to the targeted room of noise outside the door and no information.

Thought?

I adore the idea of being able to "peek" into rooms.  But why limit it to just keyholes?  If you're standing, you should be able to "peek" into an adjacent room and see what someone in that room would see.  If you fail when a door is open, maybe they see your head pop into the room.  If you fail and the door is closed, then yes, noise etc.

At master peek you should be able to see what they ate today.

I like this idea quite a bit.

Also, when you look at the shortened version of this thread on the right hand side as a 'new post' it shows as

It's not a monitor issue, it's the site's.

That's not happening on my theme, which is why I thought it was a monitor thing.  Apparently the solution is...

Get a different GDB theme, bro.

Why is glove peeking a thing

Because Peek at Master is like airport security:

The picture's not quite clear--are you saying with master peek you can see internal organs, or just genitalia? This could be really important for a future concept I'm working on.

I saw this too and have been flipping back and forth between disappointment and hilarity.

Never!

Changes to Pee will live on forever.

Long live the changes to pee.

I vote that people can >change pee, and it lets you decide if you want to pee in northern, southern, tribal, or desert-stacatto style. You have to learn how first, by watching other pee.

And they said water sports didn't exist in Armageddon!
