...ought to give at least a couple mood to the bestower. It just makes logical sense is all, because doing random nice things boosts your mood in rl right?
I'm just thinking a +2 or +3 mood, like you get for petting a tree. I don't see that being exploited really for 2 reasons. 1: that would be a max of +40 mood per rainbow. 2: you only even get random kindnesses as bonuses.
...or didn't you guys realize I was talking about that specific item, not about actual kind acts in general??
Ah, that actually slipped by right over my head. I was thinking of actual kind acts. Such as a boost to mood by giving a stranger a sammich and a hug. Although in the hug case you actually do get a boost ^_^.
Now that I am on the same page as you I suppose it would make sense to get a small bit of that happiness paid back to you.
The mood meter in general seems to hardly impact my gameplay to begin with. The only times I've ever seen it slip into medium or below involved me going to hell >_>.
