The hygiene meter kind of stinks

[Cal]

I've never had my PDA/ID stolen while showering, I've been attacked by an antag a grand total of once in the shower and it was over a year ago at this point, and I can safely say the interactions I've been pulled into by leaving my department to go shower could have easily been facilitated by food/drink... hell you're usually hungry and thirsty as well by the time you go and shower. One could say the same thing about eating and drinking for a lot of these negative points I've brought up, but there is at least the potential of RP with the bar. I've had far more person to person interaction facilitated in a single round by eating and drinking than I ever have with the hygiene stat.

Summarizes my issues with hygiene succinctly.


If hygiene had a bigger role - First step perhaps being showering maybe slowly raising your hygiene over time, maybe having stuff to help with it (brush your teeth? use soap? deodorant that chemistry can make?) it'd probably be cooler. But that's also more time spent in the shower.


I can invite people to go get food or a drink. I can't exactly invite people to go shower with me!
