Thread: Flesh wraps NOT needed...

In the event there are some dancers out there who think you have to wear a flesh wrap to get a decent tip I'd like to make it known that some of us who are forced by the game system to visit bars do NOT appreciate seeing an excess of flesh, particularly those of us with young children.


I will not tip anyone wearing a fleshwrap, nor heal them, nor even give them the benefit of watching them.


You do have the option of covering yourself. If you choose not to that's your choice, but I'll not be tipping you.

I'm glad that some people are brave enough for this - no offense to those that do - many of you are truly dancing. Props to you for standing up for that =)



There is nothing wrong with NOT revealing skin, and if you are looking to be provocative, then think. There are many ways clothing can be more provocative than nudity if that's what your end goal is.



Just my 2 cents even though your asking a penny for my thoughts.

I'm sure your solo boycott of tipping will alter the attitudes of hundreds of dancers. I'm also sure that allowing your children to slay animals or other 'people' and rape the environmentis a better moral lesson than seeing the human body.


/sarcasm off


I own a flesh wrap, but I don't wear it often. My favorite is the metal bikini and bikini leggings, which look more like the traditional 'harem' outfit and mostly shows my midrif. Frankly, given the fact that the bikini leggings make us look like thunder thighs and the exotic leotard doesn't fit most of our torsos, that doesn't leave much in the way of master tailored items suitable for dancing. I wear formal/elegant gowns to formal occasions like weddings. In a cantina I'm going to wear what gets me the most attention, and it isn't desert crawlers.


Surely you have better things to sit in judgement on than the arrangement of polygons in a game.

Hi. While I agree with poster in general, I would like to point out two facts:


1. You are not forced by the game system to enter a "bar". There are plenty of places for you to heal battle fatigue. A Theatre or a Residence or a PA hall are examples.


2. What's this about young children? If you read the box, you will see that the game is only rated "Teen", and even then they require a credit card (virtually demanding parental approval) to play.

Thanks for you input and now you can go back to your church and virtually be proud of yourself. Have fun killing pple, since you are so moraly superior. Remember a virtual boobie is far worse than slaughtering people and creatures.


Mass murder in game is A OK, but a semi nude avatar is bad. Thank you for your input, you are now a darwin award potential winner. Please go back to draggin your knuckles around your home and flingin poo.

Putting aside theissue of "decency," there are reasons not to wear fleshwraps all the time. Ithink that every performer wants audience attention. Andwearing skimpy costumes is just one of the ways of getting it Ifyou depend on wearinga fleshwraptogetattention in the first place, however, it is not going to work so wellwitheveryone wearing one. If you like to change costumes while you dance, I also think dancing ina fleshwrap may not be the best place to start. I mean there are only so many places you can go from there.

Did we not deal with this issue just the other day? People, just stop responding to posts like this. There's no point.

90% of the Time I wear a black on black Grand healers robe. It looks mysterious and I like it more than some of the exotic outfits. I seem to get decent tips, so in the end it works out.

Everyone is free to tip who they like. I'd recommend that instead of making a statement on the forum here that you do it in-game. You'll find that very few of the entertainers in your local venues read these forums. I seriously doubt that you'll effect much change but one never knows.


I honestly don't see what your problem is with the fleshwrap. It looks a lot more exotic than it really is. The "naughty bits" are all covered up about the same as they would be with any stylish one-piece swimsuit in the real-world. The hot pants show more posterior than the fleshwrap does.


The ingenious thing about the fleshwrap is that it draws attention to the parts of the body that are normally ignored. Yes, more skin is being shown, but are mostly bare arms and legs really offensive? You'll see more skin at the local neighborhood swimming pool than you see on a woman wearing a fleshwrap.


Now, the exotic leotard is a different animal. It's barely there by design (in fact, it ISN'T there if your character is too well-endowed, oops!) but it's from the movies so it's in the game. I don't have a problem with it, personally, I just think it looks silly and uncomfortable. Especially when some combat person runs in wearing it with a carbine in their hands.


In any case, it's up to you who you tip. I don't tip underwear dancers and I discourage the girls in my cantina from dancing that way. I see no problems with master tailor level clothes, though. If you do,then feel free to let your local dancers know. Just don't get all huffy if they choose to ignore your request and continue dressing any old way they desire. It's a multi-player game and the views of a single player don't amount to much all by themselves.

Clothes and lightshows get them to look.

Then you win them over with dance.

I dance at least half the time in gowns and dresses and go to the more exotic clothes when I have regulars stop by and I know they prefer them.

I am an entertainer. It's my job to entertain and to know which people like which entertainment more. It's all part of the fun!
