Cologne, perfume etc.

Since the smell command is so versatile and fun, why not add cologne and perfume. Its kinda random, and unneccesary in comparison to the coding which needs to be done but I think it would be fun.

And maybe smell should be a bit more obvious, to the extent where you don't have to make an effort to actively smell someone. But rather if they're talking to you or whispering there would be a % chance you catch a whiff based on perception.

Yeah. The other problem besides the placement on the priority list and the fact that it's allready supported by @smell is that the present 'smell' verb makes you, visibly, lean over and take a big inhale of the persons musk.

This isn't exactly very IC unless of course you allready know how the person smells and are trying to catch a stronger whif of their perfume. Personally I think anyone who did that to me without some obvious reason would get a boot in the stomach. Smells need to be integrated into PC's descriptions or the ambience of the room in such a way that they're only noticable by thoes who would notice them. This isn't exactly a small task, and offers no real benifit to RP, so probablly won't happen any time soon.

Besides, perfume is VERY MUCH a luxary item, and we know how much usage the existing luxary items get…

Don't get me started on people who sit in their cube (or the drome for that matter) and have smelling contests. Makes me want to scream at them.

perhaps luxury items would get used more if those who play corpies had a reason to use them, or the resources to buy them. I know right now, there are mixers who've not been in the game as long as my current char who have more chy than mine. and mine is of the corpie persuasion.  A corpie should be able to afford a small apartment on green at starting salary minimum.  A corpie shouldnt be forced to live in the cubes on gold just b/c its all they can afford, what self respecting corpie would want to live in the same place as a mixer who managed to get enough to stay there?

in short, luxury items arent being used mainly b/c the ones who are intended to use them icly can't afford it, and the ones who arent intended to use it Icly, can, but won't due to ic conflicts… such as a mixer with cologne or someother gross misconstuction of impropper hogwash.

imo, that is.

yup.

h dont you hate the Ho's parfums? It takes like a box of incense sticks and lots of air cleaners and a week of work just to get them off.
