Say Cheese!

Would it be possible to have some sort of cheese-checker?  I think it'd be cool to see what the server thinks of my cheese level without having to ask Crimson whenever I wanna know, thus wasting his time.

Also, along the same vein, how feasable would it be to be able to compare characters based on different things...wealth, xp, whatever.  Crimson was able to check things and tell us how we all stacked up against Domino, and that was pretty cool.

I like the idea, but I'd also want to be able to take myself off the list in case I don't want people to know what I have.

Well, I don't want to be able to see specifically what Jube has, as an example, I just want to see how I stack up against him on like an XP level, total value level, etc.  I don't think it'd be fair to go "Oh, he's got boots of speed +10", because people would just use that comparison as a shopping list.

"Hmmm...Ashi has boots of speed +6 and a moon amulet...better go kill him for it, 'cos I need that stuff".

But I think going "Hmm....Jube is 3.6 times bigger than I am, xp wise" or "Wow, I have .052 of Jube's wealth...that guy has more shit than Barbie" would be cool and fun.

I just don't want people to brag about how much more exp and gold they have....

"man
i have more money than ashi
it must be this aquirement neumenor qulythig"

I'd want to be able to hide my stats once it got annoying.

Were there a convient way of doing this, it'd already be there.  I'm working on it.

I disagree with the "I want to hide my stats" part though.  Mangband is, afterall, a competative multi-player game.  rankings are common.
