Christmas Present Idea

[Markus]

OK! So I know that Christmas is months away, but it's not too early to start on it. Think of Christmas morning. You wake up early, you run downstairs to your Commonroom, and right in front of you is.... just unwrapped presents... This is what happens right now!

My idea is simple. Add a new way to give people, well, a gift! A present, where you can add an item to it, and then that item is in the present. Then you can give the present to someone, and they open it and get that item. Exceptions are the items that cannot be dropped(Quest book, Book of Roses, Halloween Basket, etc.) Not only would this provide Therion something to use for his random item in the shop, it would be cool to use on Christmas, birthdays, etc.

It can also be used in multiple events. It's like a random item prize event. Like Murra's Random Prize Draw verb. Hit Open, and it picks a scarf randomly and gives that person a scarf. This is just a thought for GM presents.

I'd be more than happy to do the icon(s). If you have any more questions about this, then I'll always be happy to elaborate on anything. I didn't have much time to type this and post it, so it may seemed a bit rushed.

There are currently a few "old fashioned" techniques for "gift-wrapping" presents such as, "Casting Herbificus over an item and letting someone use Incendio to 'unwrap' it to reveal the gift" or "Putting scrolls over items and using 'take' to unwrap the gift".

Just a thought.

Another idea is that we could, maybe, get a pre wrapped gift from the Green Man Group, that is kinda like a goodie bag, but more expensive, because they hold actually decent gifts, and not silly stuff like scrolls, wands, and buckets. And you can only "open" them if you "give" them to another player. For example, you can't open a present you buy yourself. I know there is a few bugs with this idea, but yeahhhh.

The problem with that is that the rarity of items will drop because of that.

But what If I had a wig or something as a gift? Herbificus only covers so much area on a tile, that some items would bound to be showing.

Good input guys.
