Fashion Sense

Timestamp: JonPyre 23:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Type: Survivor Skill

Scope: Informational skill

Description: Fashion Sense would be a civilian skill requiring Shopping as a prerequisite. It would grant players a 1 AP "Fashion Sense" button that allows them to instantly scope out the clothing worn by every player and zombie in the room. For example, let's say there are two other players in the room "Bill" and "Phil", and two zombies not on your contact list. After clicking Fashion Sense you might see this: Bill is wearing a gasmask, a blue t-shirt, and a pair of black shoes. Phil is wearing a red baseball cap, a bloodstained dark red waistcoat, and a pair of sandals. A zombie is wearing a bloodstained Malton zoo T-Shirt and a bloodstained toe tag. A zombie is wearing a bloodstained pair of safety goggles and a bloodstained lab coat. A single click would show the clothes of every other player in the room, it would not require a new click and new AP spent for each person. This does not violate zombie anonymity as it does not link to the zombie's profile (unless they're already on your contacts list) and does not reveal their playername. The main use of this is to quickly identity groups that use uniforms. For example, if the Ridleybank Resistance Front decided to adopt a chef's hat as their uniform, it would be terrifying to look at a crowd of zombies and see that 25 of them have chef's hats on. Also it would allow players to admire zombie fashion sense, even if they aren't attacked. Zombies that purchase the skill in life would also be able to use fashion sense in death.

Urban Dead, now sponsored by Bravo.--Alice Gravesend 02:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

It should be terrifying to look at a crowd of 25 zombies, full stop. Sadly there are hardly any such 'hordes' left in Malton.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 14:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Pretty sure this is a joke/impersonation of someone who left years ago. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 01:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

he is still active on my contacts list. --User:Sexualharrison10:54, 11 January 2012 (bst)
