20081125 Depants

Gus ThomasSpartaZHU 04:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion type Skill

Suggestion scope Zombies

Suggestion description Upon purchasing this skill, zombies will have a 4th "attack" option to interact with humans. Just as with the three attack options currently used, the attack dropdown menu will allow the zombie to "attack with depants". However, rather then doing damage to the human (as do bite and claw options), the zombie will simply drag the target humans pants/skirt/kilt down.Additionally, a zombie is able to use this skill against zombies wearing pants as well. Zombie will not gain some cyrptic method of identifying targets wearing pants, and the player will have to rely on a targets profile to tell if they have pants on or not. Similar to the human ability to attack with a 100% chance to hit with a newspaper, zombies with the depants skill have a 100% success rate (as with Feeding Drag). Finally, once a zombie successfully depants a target, the target is thus in a state of pantslessness until they go through their settings and put a new pair on. Zombies, of course, would have to be revived before they are able to do that. As the zombie brain is limited in its state of undeath, the zombie is unable to distinguish between pants, skirts, kilts or shorts, and all its flavor text will refer to these items of clothing as merely "pants".

  • Prerequisities: Player must be zombie at time of skill purchase, just like every other zombie skill.
  • Location in Skill tree:Found within the Vigour Mortis skill set, this skill is only available after Feeding Drag is purchased. While technically this would make the skill a 3rd tier (it has two prerequisities), humans already have three such skills (Advanced Pistol Training, Advanced Shotgun Training and NecroNet Access).
  • Crossover skill: Humans already have a similar attack when they attack a zombie or a human with a newspaper (see here). Therefore depantsing will be limited to just zombies.
  • Cost in XP: 100exp, just like every other zombie skill.
  • How it's activated: As explained in description (above), this skill is used same as Feeding Drag. When attacking a human, it will be a 4th "attack" option available to the zombie that has it. Unlike Feeding Drag, there will be no change to the human location.
  • Cost in AP: One AP, same as the other zombie attacks.
  • Flavor text:
    • When attacking a human with pants or skirt : Zombie will get the message "You drag {target}'s pants down". Humans will get the message "A zombie dragged your pants down" (unless targeted human has attacking zombie in their contacts).
    • When attacking a human with no pants or skirt :Zombie will get the message "{Target} is already pantsless". Zombie will not lose a AP.
    • Third partys : Regardless of being a zombie or a human, anyone in the same immediate area will get the text "A zombie pulled down {Target}'s pants. (time ago)". As with the targets perspective, players would not see the zombies name unless they have them in contacts. In order to witness a depantsing, a player needs to be inside if it occurs inside, or in the same section of the large building (for example, same block of a mall). Finally, regardless of how many players are in the building, everyone there will witness the depantsing. Precedent of this is when a player kills another player, regardless of how many people are in the building, everyone sees it.


Voting Section

Voting Rules
Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped.
# justification ~~~~

Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.


Keep Votes

  1. Author vote, keep for much justice. --Gus ThomasSpartaZHU 04:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Keep- So very very full of win. --Johnny Bass 04:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Keep - Hell yes! --Amber Waves of Pain 04:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  4. Keep - Why the heck not! --mo ヽ(´ー`)ノ 04:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  5. Keep - What kind of question is that? YES --KyleStyle 04:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  6. Keep - Absolutely. Humans have far more options to express their sense of humor than zombies do. Death Rattle is barely functional! Give us a fun ability, too! And stop treating an online game like SRS BIZNUS.--Drugsanimudongs 10:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  7. Keep - Pants are an abomination before Barhah. Also, MOAR BENNY HILL! --Mads 14:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  8. Keep - Maybe if Zombies can do more funnies, they will stop that stupid disco dancing thing Spacer One 15:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  9. Keep - This is a great idea. "Text rape" is the lamest excuse I've ever heard. - Insomniac By Choice 19:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Massive potential for abuse. Zombification is the only effective method for silencing text rapists, and this gives them a way to retaliate/continue to stalk their victims. I can see some really nasty scenarios resulting if this was adopted. Sorry, Gus. --Violet Begonia Dean MCM MOB 04:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Kill - As Violet said. It's already hard enough to deal with griefers, both the alive and undead variety. --Saralan Talk 404 ZHU 05:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Kill - i'm all for zombies having a newspaper equivalent but this isn't it.--xoxo 05:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  4. Kill - If you want a zombie equivalent to newspaper attack give them a bad breath weapon. This is just a bad idea with a lot of potential for abuse. Speaking from personal experience I find it hard to see this getting used ONLY as intended. And as a reply to the comment above: you have to consider all the consequences of a decision including the implications that it could be abused. --User:E harmon 00:16 EST, 25 November 2008.
  5. Kill - Extreme potential for abuse, tearing off someone's pants without some form of consent like an in game option is sexual assault even in a game. I think the suggestion needs a lot of work. --User:Daemon13 00:16 EST, 25 November 2008.
  6. Weak Kill - Interesting ideas, and I know that the majority of the userbase would use it as intended. However, it's that small minority that makes me vote Kill (as the guys above me.) Linkthewindow  Talk  06:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  7. Kill - As J3d (too silly). -- Galaxy125 07:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  8. Trousers. I mean Kill where are these pants you speak of? And its silly. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 08:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  9. Kill - While I'm all for an amusing zombie newspaper equivalent, ripping off someone's clothes without their consent is not it. --Ashate 08:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  10. Kill - With Violet, its extremely open to abuse especially with the fact that everyone sees it. Also I'm not a fan of making it a total separate skill, it does not do enough on it's own to need it. --Zoey Zarg 10:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  11. Kill -- Hell no. I happen to like my clothes, for one thing, and really wouldn't like getting them ripped off. I don't happen to like the idea of walking around half-naked, especially as a female character. And see Ashate and Violet's comments. I would love a zombie equivalent to the newspaper, but this is NOT the way to go. At all. KILL, KILL, and KILL some more. Stab this suggestion, shoot it, burn it, throw it off the cliff, drown it in the ocean. --Jen 14:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  12. Kill - Changed my vote after remembering countless "Zambah banana gangbang bra bagz" scenarios. And as for people like Snoodles.... why give zombies another incentive? --Private Mark 15:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  13. Kill - out of genre, bad flavour, potential for griefing. Garum 19:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  14. Kill - As zoey.-- Vista  +1  22:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  15. Kill - Please, no. This would be even worse than text raping.. and with no "ignore option" available. --Janus talk 22:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  16. Kill I thought that having no specified clothing was discerned as having nondescript clothing on. If you want to specify no clothes, you write it in your profile. because of that, this wouldn't work. --Destor 22:57, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. SPAM - lol no. go back to rrf. --Sonny Corleone DORIS MSD pr0n 04:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Spam - It has the feel of a joke gone too far...--Ryvyoli Y R 07:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. spam - This is a zombie apocalypse not the Benny Hill Show. --Honestmistake 07:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  4. Spam - Humorous Suggestions. --Midianian Big Brother Diary Room: [509,25] 09:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  5. Spam - As Midianian. Plus, it is horribly out-of-genre. --Blake Firedancer T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T. 10:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  6. Spam - Too much room for abuse. Better suited for Humorous Suggestions. -AbSent 15:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  7. Spam - This is just daft, why would a zombie depant someone? If added to humerous suggestions i would vote for it. --Michaleson CAPD 16:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  8. Spam - Funny, but it should be in humorous suggestions. --ZsL 18:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  9. Spam - Humourous suggestion. --Papa Moloch 19:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  10. Spam - Humo(u)rous. And as Zoey Zarg and Jen. --Pestolence(talk) 22:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
  11. Spam This isn't even spam, it is vandalism. Not to mention incredibly retarded.--Pesatyel 04:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
  12. Spam - "Pants" do not exist in UD, therefore redundant. And as most of the other spam voters. --WanYao 23:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)



Voting Rules
Current Suggestions

Advice to Suggesters

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. "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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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:20081125 Depants). 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.
