20090814 Starting Clothes Selection

GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 08:33, 14 August 2009 (BST)

Suggestion type
Clothes.

Suggestion scope
Starting characters.

Suggestion description
Currently, only certain starting classes start out in buildings related to their professions, and therefore have instant access to character appropriate clothing. However, zombies, consumers and military classes don't have this option. This change would fix the clothing inequity and give everyone some decent apparel when they join Malton. Upon character creation, players could choose class-specific clothing from a drop down menu that would work exactly like the in-game clothing menu.
Starting characters would choose their clothes from the following building types:

  • Consumers - Malls (no mall T-shirts)
  • Military - Fort Barracks (no dog tags)
  • Zombies - Towers (all clothes start out torn or tattered)
  • Doctors, NT Techs, Cops and Firefighters would see no change to their starting selection of clothing.

Credit goes to User:Degree7 for the idea.



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. Keep - Yup.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 08:36, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  2. I'm all for this, however I've noted one little thing that I feel should be changed. There are no trousers in NT buildings, meaning that NT staff are effectively "pantsless". Maybe they should be granted a choice of trousers from the tower list? - User:Whitehouse 09:12, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  3. Keep--Uberursa 11:55, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  4. Keep-- Like the idea. Nemesis645 12:05, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  5. Keep-- I'd vouch for having this sent to Peer Reviewed. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 12:11, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  6. Keep-- Would also renmind people to dress as soon as they begin.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:22, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  7. Keep-- Makes sense. --Maps 13:46, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  8. Keep-- Good Idea. Raven6666 22:56, 14 August 2009 (BST)
  9. Keep-- As above. The problem with randomly assigned clothing would be you could wind up getting a skirt when you don't want one. Better to pick your options or choose to go naked instead. Degree7 04:15, 15 August 2009 (BST)
  10. Keep-- Like the idea since it allows more flavour when viewing peoples profiles --EggingstinFeh 07:25, 16 August 2009 (BST)
  11. Keep - adds some flavor, but starting zombies can already pick their clothes. - User:Armpit_Odor/sig 00:36, 17 August 2009 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Just give them the choice to have the one, pre-determined (by Kevan), piece of clothing of each relevant type (hat, shirt, trousers, shoes), not the whole range available in the building. Consumers would get far too many choices, making clothing selection/collection totally meaningless for them because everything is handed to them at startup -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:41 14 August 2009 (BST)
  2. Kill - i got into urbandead because it was so damned easy to create an account. No annoying choosing my clothes, and my gender, and my body type and yawwnnnn. Clothes are good the way they are because they aren't intrusive and you don't need to have them. This takes that away and destroys a little part of the community with it ;( --xoxo 14:43, 14 August 2009 (BST)
    Re: - To clarify, the "new" clothing menu would work exactly the way the clothing menu works now, where you are under no obligation to use it, and if you don't go into your profile and choose your clothes then you just walk around naked. There's no extra work involved if you don't want it.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 22:30, 15 August 2009 (BST)
  3. Just have everyone start with "generic" clothes of their class. A lot of players don't care so this would just relatively uncessary extra work.--Pesatyel 02:20, 15 August 2009 (BST)
  4. As Boxy -just give them a pre-determined or random piece of clothing. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:21, 15 August 2009 (BST)
  5. Unneeded - I, for one, don't look at what clothes someone is wearing, and I'm not sure how much of an impact a "military" character wearing a lab coat makes on game play. --RahrahCome join the #party!19:20, 15 August 2009 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes



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:20090814 Starting Clothes Selection). 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.
