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:
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. |

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

| Type: Skill change |
| Scope: Survivors with tagging skill |
| Description: When someone with a tagging skill makes a graffiti, he can put his tag after it. So, there's two options: simply make a graffiti, or make a graffiti and tag it. When another survivor with this skill sees a tagged graffiti, he can read the tag.
It will look like Somebody has spraypainted ... onto a wall and tagged it if you don't have "Tagging" skill, and Somebody has spraypainted ... onto a wall and tagged it as Player if you have it. |

I like it.--Shortround 22:04, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Has potential to encourage obnoxious players, but hey ho, we need to encourage players somehow. Suggest making it cost 1AP, at least.--Mallrat TSI TKS CTD 14:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Ropes
| Timestamp: Sideflanker 20:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC) |
| Type: Item |
| Scope: Survivors |
| Description: Found in various places (have yet to put thought into search percentages), the rope is used to haul survivors into buildings with barricades over VSB+2 in the following fashion:
1: The rope is tossed out a window by a player inside (1 AP) 2a: player leaves the building somehow and ties a survivor onto the rope (1 AP + AP used to exit building) 2b: survivor ties himself onto rope (1 AP, unable to move) 3: 2 players inside the building tug rope up and untie survivor (2 AP, one action)
Humans: Throw rope out window Check rope: you tug on the rope, checking the weight (nothing, light, medium, heavy, strained) Haul up rope: only if nothing tied to it. After 5 days rope becomes unusable Pull on rope: Requires at least 2 players to doing this to haul someone up. Doing anything but speaking causes you to release rope Reinforce rope: Uses pipe, forces 1 extra zombie to pull down rope Tie self on rope: prevents movement Tie x to rope Tug rope (outside): Requires you to be attached, indication inside building Zombies: Chew rope: destroys rope, based on teeth hit percentage. Pull on rope: If 5 more zombies than player(s) pull on the rope, they will tug player(s) out window and kill them (if any players are pulling on rope). If no players on other end, requires 1 zombie (2 if reinforced)

I really like that you're providing a way for survivors without free running to enter EHB buildings. I think the idea needs to be simplified, though. Right now, it violates the "don't create multi-step skills" guideline. Yoshi54 14:44, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
as pro-survivor as i am... don't like this suggestion ...lower level zombies need "street treats" ...and Malton needs level 10+ zombies atm →Son of Sin← 00:04, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
