City of Prudes

So I took my undead toon out. She unlike most of my other toons is the least dressed, but I dressed her in what she drowned in.

I am not sure if it's males or females which are offended by her comstume, but I find it triavial when a woman appraoches me and says my costume is not appropriate when in her bio it says only:

I cant really say it on public forums, but I am assuming that ERP, and Sub do not have anything to do with Submarines.

I am a woman, and although I have played an awefull lot of MMO's where your armor is a bandaid and perhaps some thread, I just can't seem to fathom, while most of my toons are classicly comic book covered, that some Cat girl furry is going to tell me that my costume is not acceptable and that she is going to contact the devs.

Body type slim. No raise of the breast slider or booty slider. She is simply tattooed but because we dont get the tats that men get I had to be creative.

My question is simple. Can I get banned for using skimpy costume parts, that the devs put in place, if I am A) not simulating nudity at all, or B) Running around in something that the super bowl would be comfortable showing?

I was inspired by Lady Death when I made the costume based on the toons powers, and although most people like the costume, I keep getting tells about it. Threats about dev intervention.

Sure I dont have many risque looking toons, but seriously, this is a super hero game and I would have thought that those playing such games would realize that comics usually have sex appeal to their female toons. And for this toon I dont want her to run around in a that trench coat, hat, boredom, that people always seem to do to man up their female toon, because somewhere sometime ago it became really unacceptable that a woman would appreciate her physique and have to wear a paper bag to fight crime.

If I want to show some fleshy parts then thats fine. The difference is that Im killing stuff, not sitting in Pocket D in an animal costume flirting with lobster boy. I am actually playing...and not as a submarine.

A: Of course not.

One of my toons has a bathing suit as one of his costumes, for all those SG pool parties and whatnot.

Then we have our infamous pantsless TF's...

I have friends who routinely run their toons in nothing more than the skimpiest bikini costumes possible. Consider that if people actually have been "reporting" your costume, and you're still wearing it, then the GM's probably don't have a problem with it.

The only reason I can think of for a costume to get generic'd is if it is a blatant rip from a copyrighted character.

You don't have anything to worry about.

It would be different if you had been spouting offensive stuff in broadcast or local (or unsolicited tell) or your bio had a bunch of offensive stuff in it (I have petitioned several young Hitlers).

You have simply encountered a twit. The fact that you seeme to be getting multiple tells from multiple people means that the twit has enlisted his or her friends to join in your harassment (or is simply spamming you from multiple characters). If they continue to bug you after a polite rebuke, you can reasonably report them for harassment. After that, /gignore them (and their buddies), and you won't have to listen to their stupidity any more.

i agree with Impish Kat and Lightfoot.
Is this a recent thing that multiple people have had a problem with your costume?*
It's really amusing to me that someone who has "ERP" and "sub" in their bio would object to a skimpy costume. Maybe something about the half-naked corpse concept is tweaking parts of their kink-complex that they're not comfortable with.

*i would use the Player Notes feature to mark those who complain. The odds are fairly good it's one person or maybe a few of the same people complaining while logged in on different alts.

I might have misunderstood the original post. But if I'm reading it correctly, Zombie Drowned Girl is being harassed by ERP Sub Catgirl, who objects to the costume. If that is the case, I'm pretty sure it's safe to /ignore ES Catgirl, and agree that it would be at least a good idea to use Player Notes to tag them with one star and any appropriate details.

Agreed with /ignore idiot, and move on.

You answered your own question. The devs gave us those costume pieces, so obviously they're okay with us using them. The only thing you're not really allowed to do with costumes is rip off copyrighted material.

It doesn't seem like anything you need to worry about, some people just like to complain.

I created a villain once, athletic female form with the chest slider turned down to just under 1/4. Masks with hair and a full dark blue and purple costume.

While I was futzing with my UI getting it just right and setting up my vet stuff I get a tell ... "Real creative a**hole, another scantily dressed female".

I have to admit I was confused because except for a few bits of her face she was showing no skin whatsoever. Unfortunately the player notes system was not yet in place so I just politely asked what his problem was as she was fully covered and I may have made some passing reference to his acuity, both visual and mental

You gave her a cape, right? Maybe the player was just concerned about your technical accuracy. ;p

Seriously, what everyone else said. Don't worry about it. At worst if your name is too close -- maybe Lady Dead or something -- you might get generic'd but I'd doubt even that.

A Touch grainy, and definately not Lady Death. I was inspired, but I would not take rip off a toon

/gignore - it's not just for real money spammers!

Agreed. Catgirl was crazy.

I like it. Thanks. Guess it was just an odd night. I was told to check the forums for a dev post about costumes and what is and what is not allowed. But if there is such a post, I certainly cannot find it.

Not allowed: Anything that rips of a trademarked character from an existing IP.

Allowed: Anything else that the costume creator lets you get away with.

Someone seriously needs their brain checking.

pretty toon.

Not my style in a costume, I dont see it as being out of bounds though.
