Clothing Descriptions

[Sarah]

No offense to anyone, but why are there descriptions for clothing?

I think most people know what most of the clothing items are and what they look like . . . and personally, I'd prefer not to have their exact appearances dictated, so as to leave room for imagining them.

Additionally, some descriptions not only describe the appearances, but why they appear that way. For example, the leather vest description says, ". . . made out of treated animal skin that has become hardened with exposure to the elements," which suggests that the leather vest is not new and that it has been exposed to the elements, which is not necessarily an accurate assumption.

Other descriptions describe the quality of how something is made--but really, silk clothing can be poorly made and clothing of the "cheapest" material can be well-put-together. You could make a cotton dress just as decorated as a silk dress. If the quality of how something is made is going to be described, it should be determined by the skill system, after all.

Some descriptions say things like "amazing" and "stunning" (both from the embriodered necklace description), which is only an opinion. "Amazing" and "stunning" varies with each person. Who says I have to be amazed at a sparkly chunk of metal and stones?

And why did clothing get this special status? What about buildings, weapons, tools, vehicles . . . everything else in Cantr? I would, personally, benefit more from tool and weapon descriptions--I don't know what a bagh-nakh or an adaze is, and I doubt I have ever seen one. (Yes, I am perfectly capable of Googling it if I really wanted to know, but that's beside the point--the same could be done for clothing.)

No offense is meant to the people that write the descriptions--you've done more than me, as I've obviously not made an effort to try to write any.

[Lumin]

I have mixed feelings about this, as I actually really like some of the descriptions, but even then I could easily live without them.

Cantr seems pretty minimalist as far as every other object goes, and you never see descriptions the way you would in a MUD. I'm also a little curious as to why clothing was singled out, and agree that descriptions aren't really all that necessary to imagining what the item looks like - most of the names are pretty straightforward. (Though things like dress loafers would really lose their impact...they look a bit plainer in real life, to say the least)

But whatever ultimately happens, I'd be happt just seeing the end of some of the really awkward descriptions like:

a piece of clothing that covers the lower part of the body from the waist to the feet, consisting of two cylindrical parts, one for each leg, which are joined at the top made of a thick, wispy material

a garment for the upper body that has a front opening and without a collar, lapels, sleeves, and pockets made out of treated animal skin that has become hardened with exposure to the elements

this garment is narrow, but richly woven in more than one layer of soft wool. the knitting is of fine detail and it may be tied around the neck or draped in whatever position the wearer desires

(The last one isn't that bad, but why doesn't it ever actually say the word 'scarf'? And the 'this garment' part is kind of odd, when 'a narrow garment' would have done the same thing and fit in better with most of the other descriptions.)

I also don't really care for descriptions that make assumptions about the quality of an item:

a rough looking, poorly woven, sleeveless garment made of a thick, wispy material without adornmant, covering the hips and held together at the front by some ties

Poorly woven? But what if it's made by an expert? (I realize this was described long before the skill system, but even then I didn't really like it...can you imagine trying to sell something like that?)

[Songthrush]

Completely agreed... though some of the descriptions are so good that they'll have a nostalgic value if they ever were removed.

[SekoETC]

When I was rather new to this game, I would have chosen the article of clothing with the longest description available, since it looks cooler than just "a pair of pant woven of coarse hemp fibres".

But the descriptions should be informative - if there's a word for an article of clothing that covers a certain part of the body, it should be mentioned right in the first sentence. Things like a pirong or a shift or other a bit vague are good to be interpreted into practical English. With things like that, a description is necessary but how something is worn should be left to the player to rp or not, how ever they wish.

And the effects of weather are rather dumb since they're already there when the item is brand new (too bad clothing won't deteriorate). Also the misfortune of wool tunics looking awful, no matter how expertly they were woven.

[The Sociologist]

I am in favor of clothing becoming more complex in terms of the amount of trading needed to accumulate all the various resources needed to make it.

Currently our top-line haute couture item is probably loafers! But anyway, the length of the clothing description should reflect this aspect and not so much the quality of any particular material.

I also find some of the descriptions inane. What is the one that describes trouser legs in terms of two cylinders, or suchlike?

There are also many different materials that could be added by way of advanced looms such as satins, brocades, corduroys, tweed, polished tortoiseshell, sequins.... These descriptions and ideas were mentioned many months ago, years even, but have never seen the light.

Instead, all we have are endless proliferations of bronze versions of weapons and tools....that we'll never be able to make.

I'd be happy to volunteer to fix up the clothing descriptions if anyone wants me to. Staff need but ask.

[Surly]

Well, currently there are people working on a complete reworking of clothing descriptions... if I can get it past our absent Chair....

However, any contributions are welcome. Descriptions of clothing is something that can be influenced by non-Staff members without any real repercussion on game mechanics. Or any repercussions...

Get writing, people!

[AngelSpice]

Someone's editing the clothing descriptions. (not me!)

[SekoETC]

Woohoo! ...Will there be new clothes too?

[the_antisocial_hermit]

No, they won't have the power to create descriptions for new clothes... but they are making the old descriptions much better!

[Lumin]

All right, awesome! I'd be happy having descriptions as long as they're good, and some of these things have needed reworking for a long time.

Look forward to seeing the changes...I just wish I had a little more time so I could volunteer myself.

[Seeker]

I think we should have options on how to wear the clothing. You should be able to choose between "wrapping a scarf tightly around your neck" and having it "loosely hung from the neck." You should at least be able to choose whether your shirts and jackets are buttoned or unbuttoned. Of course, some clothes should only have one proper option unless you want to see "He wears the loincloth strapped tightly to his head."

[Stan]

That reminds me...whatever happened to Anthony?

[wichita]

Wouldn't we all like to know.

[Maelstrom]

Please note: I am not PD, RD, GAB, ETC, RIP, VD, or anything more than a player who wanted to do something more than B&M and instead try and fix something. I've sent this on to RD, so we'll see what comes of it.

<EDIT>: Okay, I wasn't at the time, but am now. Working on bringing these changes to a Cantr clothier near you soon! </EDIT>

I'm not looking for 'suggestions' at this point, though surely will get them. I mostly wanted to post this so people get a preview of what's (hopefully) in the pipe, and can look for errors (note, again, not suggestions, but bona-fide typoes, errors, inconsistancies, etc).

A lot of folks in the chat got their ears talked (typed?) off listening and helping with this, so it's a multi-person effort in the end.

Enjoy
