  • We need an urban sprawl area where we can do this!

  • The biggest problem I see with this is potential for vandalism, and then making sure the graffiti fits in with the aesthetics of the game. But mostly vandalism.

  • +1 Sounds good...too late about the vandalism part, people can write obscenities on their notes or in animal names. The community should be able to flag it as inappropriate.

  • Effectiveness/awesomeness of a game is directly related to TTP* when the game goes live, yes? But does this mean we should be HOPING for graffiti?

  • @Lord John, naming animals is street art?

    PS. The f wasn't capitalized.

  • No, he means the capacity for vandalism reminded him of a chicken name. Not that they're both street art.

    Tagging chickens... You know, I might be able to get behind that.

  • I named my chicken Bum.  It seemed appropriate since I'm squeezing him.  

    That would be pretty cool.  It could be the second level of Penmanship or something.  Ix has a few walls too and i've always wanted an industrialized area.

  • I notice you keep using the term "vandalism". Glitch has no capacity for vandalism considering the game's code defines what you can and cannot do.

    Currently you can leave a note on a street. It could be dumb/engaging/informational/rude/amazing but they all look the same. I would like to leave something on a street that is a lot more visually interesting. Perhaps something that anyone else can pick up and take if they wish. Or maybe something that lasts for a game day, or a portion of a game day, but can't be removed. I personally would assume that if something like this were possible, the art would be in line with the overall theme of the game. Which would make it not vandalism.

  • ...All right, maybe "vandalism" isn't the right term, and we can play semantics. But surely we can all agree a horde of chickens all named "Hitler's Bloody Vagina" isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, and perhaps the act of a downright unpleasant person. And when I think "graffiti", I think writing and images on property, usually big enough to be seen from a distance. At least you can only see chicken names if you're close enough. But giant, in-your-face, "HITLER'S BLOODY VAGINA" (in admittedly pleasing typeface) would be worse, right?

    If graffiti / street art / tagging / whatever other term I may or may not be using correctly is implemented, there has to be a way so that environments aren't inundated with a hundred or so pieces all trying to get a message out there. I'd also want it to be a high-tier skill, like naming animals is with Animal Kinship V.

  • Hitler's bloody what?

    +1 Freeman. We should be able to flag things as inappropriate. :)
