An NPC player approached us a while ago with a plan to run a game that would help facilitate a dorm and uniform switch, but we weren't sure whether there would be enough interest in changing.

However, we know there's been a lot of turnover lately, so we wanted to ask if you would be interesting in this!

YEAH SON

YES

How would this work, when the dorms/uniforms are part of the patron echo's ... thing?

save cats and henwen from their team color 2k15

alectryon has actually had some conversations about trying to do this

(Obviously patrons would be the ones actually changing either of these things, and it would still require a large quest, but.)

Oh, okay. YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION.

It would be more like the team designs a uniform/dorm in the game, then brings the blueprint to their patron.

Then they have to quest for the changes to be implemented.

I'M COOL WITH THIS

I LOVE THIS IDEA even though I have no want to change the goat uniform (I'd be okay with dorm possibly? But no strong opinion)- maybe a game where we can do that and have an option for keeping it?

as a patron and a player

I would rather the team colors stay the same haha but that is just because I have bought a lot of art.

Or yeah keeping it as a blueprint if a good idea!

I'm a bit "ehhh" for team colors but I'd be fine with a dorm/uniform change

wait is changing team colors an option... :|a cuz i'd prefer they didn't. change.

i thought it was just normal uniform design

yeah it says changing team colors in the top plurk :|a

I'd like dorms/uniforms becaause most dorms don't even account for current team taste but

I know some of the team colors aren't beautiful but

colors I'd like to keep the same because

OH I MISSED THAT oops

Keep Cats Cream 2016

otherwise everyone would be getting a million of the same colors?

yeah dorms/uniforms = okay but i like tiamat's purple-red!!

they were picked based on a scheme since the start! so like

Yeah team colors seem a lot more solid so I wouldn't wanna change those. tho uniform changes for complimentary colors against some is always aces?

DON'T CHANGE TEAM COLOURS

yeah, we've seen a lot of talk about dissatisfaction with current team colors on plurk so we thought we'd bring it up!

;;;;;;;;;;;

ofc it's not a requirement though

definitely a change for uniform to make the colors look easier

I am for all of these options

maybe change reqs? like

it can be an accent color

I know 90% of the Cats hate the cream, so maybe a uniform that is 90% black but with cream highlights?

instead of the main color etc and thus BLIND ONE'S EYES

graycalls RED-PURPLE no i'm bad with colors....

i have no input because I LIKE THE TEAM COLORS AS THEY ARE, and have no problems with epona's dorm, and my character doesn't even wear the uniform. i'm useless.

Yes, this.

I LOVE THE CREAM....

idk i'm super against changing team colours ;_;

yeah i like the highlights idea

Yeah, I think the issue is less the team colors and more that the uniforms ARE PRIMARILY IN THEM.

i'm okay with changing color accents i think that could be fun! but i def want hte main color to stay the same

but im not against redesigning how it's used

And that can be difficult and look atroious. So more allowance for neutral colors would be nice?

I'm ok with the team colors, but making it more... accented.

even henwen's color can look nice if used with a different design

but adding accent colors could be a fun compromise

Because like if it's all just one color than that is blinding in some colors

it'd be hard to give some the option to change but not others, i'd think

verisimilitude iiii disagree with that too tho because what about turnover? would you change it again if there was a lot of turnover?

i already have a character who is going to make outfits that are Henwen accented instead of mostly Henwen because Henwen's colour

uniforms can change with turnover but the colors are linked to a zodiac color wheel

No one chose their team colors though

(as a note once everyone has spoken cass and i will be deciding how exactly to handle this with the gamerunner in question)

what khajiit said

I know dis from my helper mod days

tho i like the accent idea a lot! like letting teams choose a more neutral color that covers more than 50% of the uniform and then the teamc olor is just an accent?

everyone chose uniforms/dorms and at this point all of those teams are gone.

i do like the accent idea

I really like the accent idea.

I mean god I was on dawon for ages and that fucking peach-pink

yeah i think the accent is a good compromise

my poor eyes

yes!!!

sort of like, giving them the chance to have a more neutral main outfit but then specific items on their person are their team calling colour, if necessary

i feel like it'd be just... a headache to change the teams' primary colors. and idk... it's so subjective. nobody's going to be totally happy with every color.

yes, i really like the accent ideas!

which would be better for like henwen and gulgallana and cats because they're so neon for a WHOLE outfit

I love the idea of accents too even though goats don't have a real eye searing problem like some teams lol

BUT FOR TEAMS THAT MORE NEED THAT YE

i know that cats have always been allowed to wear other, non-neutral colors as long as they weren't the SAME SHADES as the other teams

idk some uniforms seem to have some accents

which helps

yeah

but still

LIKE ALECTRYON ISN'T STRICTLY GREEN, they have some grey pieces?

bunnies have a lot of black in their uni because of the RED redness

or even like, team-colored lapels and stuff

i was also unaware that some teams already wore other colours with their team colour because i figured it was "everything is that shade"

like "everything you arrived in is now amalthea blue"

i always assumed that not EVERYTHING you arrived in was team colored, but that the main part of it was and everthing else just swapped to be a neutral color, like blac or gray or tan

^

i remember i had kaito arrive in his black school uniform and his previous game scarf, and his uniform stayed black but the undershirt + scarf turned team colored

I've assumed that almost everything was dat color

yeah, i've assumed this whole time viva was in entirely amalthea blue and caracal has a cream suit that constantly gets blood and mood on it

mud*

i think barghest is also green&black

yeah, it is interesting

omg

Everything Lapis arrived in turned yellow-green except her hat. Which is determinedly blue. And creates the amusing mental image of yellow-green plaid pants.

...I wish I had known about the Kaito thing sooner, since... Yes, Diz had a black school uniform with red ribbons that turned into an orange school uniform with red ribbons. x_x

amal has like, three shades of blue and black boots

the uniform design game sounds like a good chance to clear up some of the differing interpretations too

... ew.

HAHAHA

HAHAHA

I HOPE THEY DO

yeah, i agree that it'd be a good opportunity to clear up exactly what freedoms there are in how much of the team colour is involved in clothing items

like so. though the pants/dress alternative are a darker darker more muted blue

OMG...

also yas omg blinding undergarments

blinding undergarments

gaignun: THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE than me imagining viva in all teal bue EVERYTHING

i'm dying

... a blinding yellow-green binder. holy bananas.

EVERYONE MUST KNOW WHAT TEAM YOU ARE ON AT ALL TIMES, EVERYTHING MUST BE TEAM-COLOURED

... well, if you ever get busy with someone from another team, and leave your underwear in their room, everyone'll know who you've been with fairly quickly...

yeah I DON'T THINK VIVA WAS HERE WHEN WE UPGRADED UNIFORMS (we started out with something VASTLY DIFFERENT at the start) but I remember we were like HAHA DARKER BLUES ... PLS......

omg..............

here's how i thought colors worked, for example

never let Lapis get them, Ochre.

I think the female amal knee highs for the dress option were white too

viva wears the male uniform because i say so

good point

but I shooped shit for our uniform description when we made them for easy access though I think my shoop for the pants were a little lighter than what we tend to go with, maybe I should update that

FUN FACT the original amal unis were dresses for the boys and pants for the girls

Lapis wears the male uniform. But that's... because canon. She doesn't remember why but she does.

AMALTHEA, WHY

rook cut his dress into like a tailcoaty buttcape

(I still have all that old shit saved too woo woo)

naptime: denim/navy, beige, white, black, gray, maybe dark olive, dark brown, yeah

KICKS DOWN THE DOOR. COLOR CHANGE RATS AND CATS PLS

make rats like....a golden color

away from this hideous tan

thing

laughs CLASPS NARU'S HANDS

GRABS ELLIE'S HANDS

verisimilitude YEAH I DEF AGREE WITH THAT like maybe a black outfit with team color accents or smth

yeah, if everyone has a certain shade on them SOMEWHERE it's not easy to get confused

b-breaking up the color

pink 4 rats 2k16

henwen green is pretty unique, for example

bcause even teams with colors that are not eyesearing... nobody looks good in a giant block of color sob

because *Even

t-typos

...but I like ratatoskr tan...?

pink rats would be super cute ngl

so like, that green on the lapels of someone's coat, or the pattern on their shirt, or the jewelry that they never stop wearing, or their coat

i say that but allen walker would not like pink, but gale would look cute in it

i thought rats WAS gold

squints at colors

also amal has a sexy ass winter coat that is dark blue I need to commission something with that......

their hat, or scarf, buttons-- ooh, an animal patch on their clothes in the colour could be good...

for if they don't wear their uniform

maybe give everyone an animal pin

but..... I was thinking it could be more like
#ffe680 instead of what we have now??

just more...yellow than brown

like the mockingjay pin from the hunger game movies or smth

for rats

either way I LIKE THE IDEA OF A GAME LIKE THIS ... with the option for teams that actually want to change their uniform/color to do that (same for dorms)

rats are like this ""tan"" color officially but I'd like it make it more yellow/gold tbh

i think the only way to change colors would for it to be an entirely OOC thing

I know we recently changed/added for wintery clothes as well so a lot of unis were updates for that to some extents

my pref is still for no change to actual colors but more room for neutrals/just having the colors as accents 8|b

cause I like my team's uniform as is but I would also just love a fun dumb game to fuck around with FASHION for the fun of it

i'm with kira on accents/neutrals etc

I think changing the team color itself would also just be a bad precedent in a way that uniform design change wouldn't be

or even something like an arm band or a pin or sth that would designate team

ARM BANDS 'A'

i am rly obscenely fond of the idea of cats wearing black with cream accents

they'd be SO SNAZZY

MY AESTHETIC

i don't have any problem with amalthea's uniform because those colours are my kind of colours but i'd be way happier if wolfwood could wear black with cream shirt

(from a mod perspective changing color is a problem because i cannot shoop good stuff so ya'll gotta find a shooper)

because that's canon so i know it looks good

/selfish

cats in suits man

We want to change any of this because of aesthetics, and for uniforms/dorms that's fine, but I feel like team colors need to remain the same as an identity factor too

I would agree with that. The colors are what they are, but the way they're used could be changed.

yeah. GAME WITH BLUEPRINT OPTION FOR TEAMS WHO WANT THAT A++ at least where uniform and dorm design are concerned.

for my own sanity i just assume i can wear more black than cream

sry

no cream

all black

i will be happy then

color wise I am more on the fence about since I think neutral/complimentary colors for some is a good way to go

i just picture cats going through a goth phase

NO MOM THIS IS WHO I AM NOW

instead of outright changing then

LMAO

the idea of trafalgar law dressed in cream hurts my soul

i feel u naru. wolfwood in all cream. . . /clasps hand

mom can't tell us what to do

HE WILL ALWAYS BE 2EDGY GOTTA WEAR BLACK

neutral/complimentary colours sounds like the best bet

holds onto jay's hands

with team colours visible somewhere as an accent to the outfit/uniform, and/or a pin/patch/armband/neckerchief/etc

cats all get cat ear headbands

nobody but tama wears them

panther would wear them with tama for solidarity

u don't have to go it alone

rook made some of the cats cat hear hair pieces (and has made other team ear/horn/what have you hairpieces too) he will make more for everyone (and should I should make more of those for newer peeps kek)

oh and puma'd probably wear them ...

kaito would want aoko to wear them so he could laugh

he's rude

she'd stuff them up his nose

ur welcome kaito

asdjfpo

pearl has hair decs already

no more plz

I'm p happy with the bunny colours and uniforms overall, but dorm changes sound cool '^'

it seems like neutrals + team color as an accent is a very popular idea, which pleases me.

The idea of a general DESIGN GAME with the option for keeping/blueprints sounds like the best way to go in that case, so teams who want to actual change can just opt to do so with what they create

Like. I wouldn't want to change the bunny team DESIGN on the clothes bc I like it a lot but I'm just one voice here lmao '^'

if it helps, with the uniforms at least - there's no reason the old uniforms can't be kept as well as the new ones!

ERRYONE GETS ALL OF THE CLOTHES

that's very true. nothing wrong with more clothes |D
