Appear in its current form allows too great a swing from one side of the description spectrum to the other. eg Tall BRO in shroud goes into alley, Squat MONA in shroud comes out of alley five seconds later.
APPEAR SCALE SUGGESTION
Each Appear and Shortdesc option can be given an APPEAR Weight.
The APPEAR Weight values could be: Neutral / Feminine / Masculine
For Example: Citizen / Mona / Mano
The MOO can Poll every Character's currently set APPEAR options every so often.
The Weight of those collectively Polled Options can unlock gated APPEAR options from predetermined Lists.
For Example:
Citizen > Denizen
Mona > Lady
Mano > ShitBag (just kidding guys)
OPTION : DERAGATORY WEIGHTS
If we wanted to go seriously random with the APPEAR rewards, we could assign the three lists Positive or Negative connotations based on the Gender of the Character.
For Example:
Mano Polls a lot of Masculine shortdescs and APPEARs. "Unlocks" from a list like Bro, Guy, Dude, etc.
Mano Polls a lot of Feminine shortdescs and APPEARs. "Unlocks" from a list like Fag, Queer, etc.
Mano or Mona Polls a lot Neutral shortdescs and APPEARs. "Unlocks" from a list like Androog, Neut, Meatsicle, etc.
OPTION : Strict Polling Enforcement
A worthwhile Option would be to only Tally the Weights of connected Characters who are currently NOT Disguised when the Poll triggers.
or
The opposite. Only Tally the Weights of the Poll for Characters who ARE Disguised.
or
Trigger either of the above based on a "not idle" check from the UE poller???
Rate of APPEAR Options Earned
I think that it would be reasonable to earn 1 new Option from any of the three lists at the rate of 1 every 30 days. That works out to roughly 12 a year. Assuming the character lives that long. Assuming that they are fairly active and earning UE through other normal RP activities.
