IC 'Masks', disguises, and the like...

Alright, just sitting here thinking about some stuff, and I had the greatest idea for disguises…. There are three possible ways that I see it can be done...

1st: Specialized clothing that attempts to hide the wearer. These can come in several forms, each giving a better chance of concealment then the past level. Plastic masks, skin gloves, pigment dyes, voice changers, etc. All the way up to full body coverage suits with holographic disguises for face and voice. The disguise prompts the wearer when they put it on to change their name, description, and nakeds (if they don't change nakeds, then the naked messages are either ignored while the disguise is worn, or they stay... I lean towards the former.) Whenever someone looks at the person, it rolls to see if they detect them. If they do, it'll say: You notice that <name> is really <real name> in disguise. Or something like that. If they wearer is a good RPer, they might even drop clues or whatever to let players try and guess.

2nd: Normal clothing system can be tweaked, and an @disguise verb is added. That verb basically changes the user's name and description (allows for one disguise to be stored as well). Now, if they are wearing something (like say how Gally always wears her GRS suit) that they always wear, then the person knows its Gally and not Sue. Or whatever. Also does the roll against PCP when someone looks at the wearer, etc.

3rd: Now, this one is a bit different... If you really think about it, its not that hard to disguise yourself. A nice ski mask, full body clothing, and change your voice. Boom, you become Bob. If someone just pulls on clothing that has full coverage, and then uses an @disguise verb, it allows them to change name and desc. Then, if someone beats their disguise, they get a message saying that they discover <so and so> is actually <so and so>.

*adds a quick thing* As of right now, only a few players are allowed the IC masks. I think disguises should be coded soon, because it allows for a ton of RP that could go well or badly for just about anyone…

(that, and the fact that any dumbass can disguise himself... just depends how good he is at it... it doesn't actually need a 'mask' to work. Some silly puddy, makeup, hair dye, and new clothes. Maybe some fake teeth or colored contacts... in retrospect, a few hundred bucks IRL can give someone a new look)

Ummm…deja vu.

I think Rastus said something about this allready: Masks are not literally 'masks' but entire disguises that admin have termed 'masks' for the simple reason of simplicity.

As to the clothing thing, go for it. I have and do. It isn't like you need a special verb to RP it.

ummm. yes.

I use to do the clothing thing too Nic. The whole thing though is to get a coded way to have other chars either see your disguise, or you. Otherwise, its just your disguise. And you'll still see Nicadeamus is standing here. Or, 'Nicadeamus is the eye of the storm.' Even if you changed your @look_place to something like: 'Nicadeamus is disguised as Bubba.' Its still not the same as coded. I dunno, I want something to work with my disguise skill!!! :P
apparently masks -DO- work with the disguise skill. Or so I have been told on countless occasions by countless admin. Which are all just Damon in disguise….or was it Johnny...never can tell...

Though I have also heard the phrase 'super tool' tossed in with them...so I dunno...but speaking of masks. Ahem. I think they should cover/alter your @describe message. I would feel like a tool if I had to alter mine just so the disguise stays true.
