Lipstick.

Post by Mitchs98 » 18 Oct 2015, 00:18

Well...suggestions are closed so I'mma put this here as one of those pseudo-suggestions. Right. Now, see. I'm a man that likes for their characters to look good, on any server/forum, man or woman. They gotta look good. This is also why I opt for a normal helmet as a Spec instead of the spec doo rag that boasts 2 hugger protections instead of one, cause it makes ya look bald and bald ain't good unless intended.

Now, my issue currently lies in the Sulaco only having the ugliest shade of lipstick ever to grace a character with blonde hair: Jade. Yep, Jade is the only lipstick they have. Guess what lipstick matches the most, and which area has the best choices? Red. And it's only on the colony in female dorms. Which you either gotta get yourself or get a squad to get for you if you're Sulaco bound.

I propose we add lipstick to the character customization load out or, hell, just stock all the shades of lipstick on a counter where the Jade is. I literally spent 30 minutes the first round I played Anya trying to remove the sin among lipstick that is Jade from her face. Staff went so far as to suggestion suicide and cloning, not kidding. Eventually found out the holy relic known as paper removes it. Praise paper.

TL;DR, add more lipstick choices to the Sulaco for female/male characters that are into that sorta thing for customization.

I still question the sanity of the marines.

Good hunting.

You people are aware, actual real life female marines DO still try to wear make up so they don't look like men right? Also Ogard you said you wouldn't mind more lipstick being in the Sulaco yourself before so..

And Toros that is highly offensive, seriously.

Kek mitchs, keep on dreamin'.

No self respected human would wear lipstick for combat for the sole purpose of being more feminine or using it make up.

First off, this isn't a pseudo-suggestion, it's a suggestion and those are closed.

Secondly, it baffles me that you thought it was anything but terrible RP to run around for 30 minutes in a round trying to remove lipstick instead of something more important, aka your job.

Thirdly, while female marines do wear makeup, they don't wear "fuck me red" lipstick while in combat.

Fourth, your character's mouth is like 8 pixels.

Firstly: It is kinda a pseudo-suggestion meant to be a civil discussion, not a thread for you to consistently bash myself and my viewpoints.

Secondly: It was a slow round and briefing hadn't even started yet, I was also already fully geared and prepped. So...why not?

Thirdly: The lipstick in-game is deep red, which conforms to military standards. It's not fire engine red, which does not.

Fourth: RP is very much a thing, as is personal preference. I'm not saying you have to agree with me fully, but you can at-least be civil and not turn this entire thing into 'You're wrong I'm right, take your crappy opinions and go elsewhere'.

Fifthly: I don't care too much if it's added or not, this thread was meant to be a discussion more than anything. It probably annoys me more than it should anyway, but hey I'm a perfectionist ya know.

It's sort of hard to tell if you're joking.

I really don't think that lipstick matters at all dude. You can't even see your characters face all that well in game anyway, no one will notice what lipstick you're wearing.

Wasn't saying to make more colors, was sayin' to add the tubes on the colony to the sulaco or to the character loadout screen. *shrug*.

There is no reason not to, I mean, will it really hurt us, kill our families, give rabies to our dogs and cause a snowless christmass if we add these three tubes to the one that's already there?

Will we die because of that?
And marines wearing lipstick is not that much of a stretch, does it impact you combat capability in any way? Unless you're going on spessial covert ninja mission, and this deployment isn't one of them. Besides, regulations matter only when your sergeant is looking and bored enough to enforce them.

It's also not against the regulations to wear it so long as it's not like, VERY BRIGHT RED, Goth, or other unnatural colors. See, Derp gets it. Why not add it and allow more character customization? Better than having to run to the womens dorms/colony bathrooms to get the tube you want.

I'm really amazed that marines win at all when so many of them are worrying about things like lipstick color and who they're flirting with on a given day instead of the murder machines on the surface.
