20081206 Pistol: Appearnce/type

Suggestion type
Clothing type... BUT FOR PISTOLS!

Suggestion scope
Survivors

Suggestion description
It's Rather Simple, In the past years people have suggested different type of pistols, but rather then add different pistol variants to the game we add an option of changing the basic pistols appearance.

Example: A person picks up a pi stole then later when they are in a Police department/Mall/Armory they can go to the clothing option and choose an appearance for their Pistol, just like normal clothing.

As an added bonus, whenever someone attacks another person slash zombie it can say Player X Shot you with their Desert Eagle, you took 5 damage. I think this would be good for those who would enjoy an RP like experience.

• Suggested Type of Pistol variants
  • Normal Pistol
  • Browning 9mmx19
  • Taurus Millennium
  • Walther P99
  • Jericho 941 F
  • Desert Eagle
  • Magnum
  • Revolver

Keep Votes

1. Author Vote Keep- I Really hope you vote keep on this idea It took me a wile to get this thing working. --Ltpotter 17:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - I hear the stampede of trenchies coming to vote Keep and I'm going to try to offset this legion of stupidity with my Kill. Annoying and pointless. --Pestolence^(talk) 17:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Kill Pointless, plus it doesn't factor in different ammo types, so unrealistic too. --Papa Moloch 17:45, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Kill - Moloch gets it in one. -- Cheese 18:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
4. Spammy Kill - As above. --William Told 20:24, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
5. Kill - As the other guys. Take this to Developing Suggestions in future. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:43, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
6. Kill - I'm a self-made trenchie, and even I don't like this. Moloch got it with the ammo thing. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 03:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
7. Kill Yep like the others have mentioned its the ammo thing! --mo ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ 04:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
8. Kill - Annoying and would fuck over noobs who couldn't find the gun they wanted.--xoxo 05:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
9. Kill - I think in between the pistol types mentioned, they deal a large variation of damage IRL. It would be better if they were all of similar caliber. --ZsL 07:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
10. Kill - I'm not dead set against flavor text per se, but as people are saying, something like this will only raise questions. "If I've got a Beretta semi-auto, why does it only carry six bullets?" Weapons in this game clearly follow the KISS principle and that really shouldn't be messed around with.--Jiangyingzi 14:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
11. The ammo argument is a moot arguement as the current type of "pistol" is unknown. It being a revolver is only OUR wiki speculation and it could just as easily be an automatic with only a 6 round clip. Or possibly that there are only enough bullets to fill the clip to 6 (over simplistically argued). The reason I'm voting against it is I think it is kinda pointless as only the target and shooter see it.--Pesatyel 22:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
12. Week Kyll I like the sort of idea, but it could be worked out better. Mostly because of the ammo and limits of the pistol types. --Secruss^|Yak|Brahnz!|CGR|PKA||EMLN|Templates|RRF|RFTM|Crap|WHOZ||MU|GN|C2008||00:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
13. Kill - Secruss, that got killed. As above, save the last three, some of what Pesatyel said. Say it in your profile if you dare. _■^■ 04:04, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
14. Kill -I thought we killed off the trenchies a long time ago.--Grigori 05:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - Implies an in game effect; backpacks and flak jackets are not listed clothing items for the same reason.  Swiers 05:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Spam - Guns do not wear clothing. --Michaleson ^CAPD 15:53, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Spam - As Swiers, a Desert Eagle hits harder than a pea shooter, appearance of usable equipment implies in game effects. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
4. Spam - As Above. --Nny The Person 23:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20081206 Pistol: Appearnce/type). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
