New Day Job Badge

[Arc-Mage]

Day Job Badge: for hanging out in the Ski Chalet

It should be called Snow Bunny for girls and Snow Man for guys.

Maybe a slight +Res for Cold

[Rudra]

The problem with that is the ski chalet is part of Pocket D and already counts towards the Pocket D day job. (If I am mistaken about that? Then sure, new day job for the ski chalet.)

That can likely be altered. There are five different day job locations in Pocket D already.

 

The club itself, the AE zone, the medi-porters, the Vault, and the SG portal.

 

A new day job for the ski chalet would be cool.

Good point. Didn't think of that.

"Snow Bunny" ans "Ski Bum" work better, perhaps.

[Sirius.Games]

Call it Ski Bum, don't tie it to genitals.

 

Badge grants temp power snowball

 

Grants fire and cold resist 2% up to two hours. (Not sure of balance around other day jobs)

That tracks alright with Cimeroran (though I think it's 3%)

 

Now what to pair it with if anything for an accolade.  Probably not, since I think the paired ones are just a few of the main ones, will have to check

[lemming]

Looks like these are the only Day Jobs without an accolade:
D.U.S.T. Ranger, Scavenger, Psychologist, Survivalist, Cold Hand of Death

So First Ward, or Dark Astoria

 

Nineteen Accolades, with Professor being being used four times as 1/2.

I'm not exactly sure how you took Badge names to a "genitals" place.

 

But the problem with using the word "bum," specifically on Blue side, it will not work. You probably have not noticed but going all the way back to Live the word "bum" is only used on Red Side. On Blue side "bum's" are called "Homeless Citizens." A person receiving the term "bum" you will only find on Villain side. And "Ski Homeless Citizen" just doesn't have the same ring as "Snow Man." Now unless you see everyone as a Villain, then "Ski bum" is probably for you. But the term "bum" is a Villain side term only.

I was using it in regards to the English language along with the term ski Bum and beach bum as terms used to refer to people who spend a lot of time in the given area and can be either male, female, or anything in between.

 

Bunny on the other hand is in the zeitgeist refering to people with vulvas and breasts. Even the first trans woman to model for playboy was post surgery.

 

Genitalia or gender based badge names should be avoided. So I would suggest one name be used if it was ever implemented.

The NPC outside all the old Paragon Dance Party entrances on blueside is called 'Bum'.

The Once And Future King/Queen. Lord/Lady of Storms. The Underlord/Underlady. Lord/Lady of Winter.

 

What's that about badge names not having gender?

Where did I say they don't exist? Sins of the father and all... 

[Rudra]

I would say though, that if the badge name is Snow Bunny, it just be Snow Bunny. Bunnies aren't just females after all now matter what zeitgeist may say, or they wouldn't still be around. Otherwise, if Snow Bunny is to be kept for females only, then I would make the male version Snow Rabbit. So the badge name is still effectively the same thing for both genders.

 

Edit: Or if Snow Man is preferred for males, then Snow Woman should be the one for females.

What?😕 

 

I honestly have no words for this. Here we are having a conversation about Badges Names and you want to talk about genitals and Playboy Magazine.  Are you sure you know you are in the CoH Forums?

Fascinating. What zone? I guess I can run and check all three but I'd rather be told.

The two I remember off the top of my head are SE Steel Canyon at the door on the SE side of the big building where the zone 'floor' drops hugely, and Talos Island on the west side of the upper level near the theater.

[Sirius.Games]

Inclusivity should be a priority

 

I understand that people want to project their own beliefs on the world around them.

 

It's a choice to hold the complexity that words carry. You can choose to ignore it or you can choose to consider other people.

 

Results may vary

The problem with Snow Man & Lady, what about those Huge characters?

[Major_Decoy]

Ski Patrol for logging out on the slopes and Lodge Lounger for the lodge.

 

Ski Patrol gets you cold resists, Lodge Lounger gets you warmth resist. The Accolade Terror of the Slopes gets you charges of snowballs to throw at people.

And Snow Hopper for logging out at the shadow shard style vent that launches you back up! 😄

 

Seriously? I like that. Ski Patrol and Lodge Lounger works for me.

[Major_Decoy]

Alternatively: Ski Patrol for anywhere in the ski chalet area, and Lounge Lizard for the VIP Room, Bamboo Kat's Luau, and Blackbeard's Pub.

 

(the accolade would still be terror of the slopes)
