With the topic [Poll] Local or inter-ducal RP focus? going on, I had a thought on the current indecent flags, which are very Lithmorran-specific.

I wondered if what pops up as indecent could be determined by the race of the character. So someone playing say a Fariner or Tubori wouldn't get (INDECENT) on their prompt for going sleeveless, and wouldn't take special notice of others being sleeveless either. But would notice someone bottomless.

As a further thought, this could be based on their origin domain, rather than their race.

AFAIK part of the reason you get that flag is that not having the vital wearlocs covered leaves you vulnerable to IC disease.

I think what one finds offensive has more to do with the looker and less the lookee. I don't think the game should step in to define things as offensively indecent moreso than it does already.

Zash needs no clothes to be decent. Zash needs only fur.

This could lead to confusion or upset for new players who aren't culture-lore experts.

Precisely. If anything, Lithmorran standards should be adopted, not conditional standards based on a player race. Loose shirts might be acceptable in hotter climates like Farin or Tubor, but if they come here, they should be expected to conform.

It already leads to confusion. I hear "Why am I indecent???" on visnet all the time.

Beyond that, it discourages such kind of conflict because you can't turn the darn thing off on your prompt without disabling other useful information. People tend to put something on the wear slot just to shut it up.

I think the idea is not to change what is or isn't the rule of decency in capital L Lore and Law, but to use code to diegetically represent the perspective of a player character from another duchy through code.
