Suggestion description

I know Urban Dead is a browser based game, but it would be pretty nifty if your profile contained a visual representation of your character, for example clothes, and their various stages of detiriation, could be displayed on a small character, illustrated by a simple pixel drawing.

As a optional extra (for those who want it of course). I genuinely believe this would be a worthwhile aesthetic touch for Urban Dead and would make the role playing aspect more fun.

It would also flesh out those unimaginative characters who have no description what so ever.

this is a simple example of how it could look: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3631/3305706939_639173f871_b.jpg --Topgun 12:41, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Well I guess this is dead- all votes and opinions are welcome. i don't see why people insist on it being an add-on when it would be optional in the first place, but, fair enough i'm going see if i can get in contact with whoever makes the UD toolbar. --Topgun 14:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Keep Votes

1. Keep--Topgun 00:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
2. Keep--Nice addition to the existing character description --Explodey 23:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
3. Keep Not gonna lie. I kinda like it, though I see the other side. What I'd hate is something that tries to be too realistic and enters the uncanny valley. A simple pixel sketch still leaves it mostly to the imagination. Maybe let people control whether their profiles display an image or not. --A Big F'ing Dog 17:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - UD's a browser, text-based game. So, no graphics, this is the area for a Firefox extension. Linkthewindow  Talk  00:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

   Kill - No pictures in my text based game, please. Unsigned. --ZsL 05:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

2. Sympathetic kill - I really do like this idea, but I feel it is fundamentally out of step with a game whose height of graphics are Christmas lights. The beauty of text is that you have to imagine the world. Agree with Linkthewindow that this is an idea better suited to a Firefox extension. -CaptainVideo 06:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

   Fair enough good sir. I appreciate you're input. --Topgun 13:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

3. Kill - Ditto what Link said. Great idea for an extension or add-on though. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 07:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
4. Kill - As CaptainVideo. --MrKiwi 12:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
5. Kill - Imagination is the key, unlike grammer :/--Athur birling 12:06, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

   - Very true, but it's spelt grammar. :p --Topgun 13:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

6. Kill - Better suited as a browser add on to maintain the text only aspect of the game. --Johnny Bass 14:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
7. Kill - As above. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 17:48, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
8. Kill - As CaptainVideo. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 22:23, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
9. Kill - Eh, it doesn't really fit in with text-only design. --ZsL 01:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
10. Kill - As CaptainVideo. --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 01:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
11. Kill - Regardless of the nice idea, the promo pic is disgusting. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

    for god's sake, the whole point is it would be a simplified style! --Topgun 13:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

    That's grand and all, but UD isn't a stylish game. The very concept of those bright colours in the avatar is unheard of. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

12. Kill - No simple pixel sketch will be as good as what I see in my head. --William Told and Co. ^{ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ} 17:34, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
13. kill leaving less to the imagination is bad in some cases. Turtleboy412 00:35, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
14. Kill - As CaptainVideo. --Haliman - Talk 01:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
15. Kill - As above --OrangeGaf ^Talk! 00:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
16. Kill - Although I have no major objections the problem is what about gender, skin/hair colour etc. --Kamikazie-Bunny 11:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
