Welcome to the Body Swap Petition
Hello everyone, I am Pyres and would like support in my petition for body swapping. I know it sounds weird at first, but please read on so I can explain this much further. It came to me back when Gaia was newish, and I was a newb myself how my friends and I would trade avatars with each other and joke about being body swapped. Those days are long and gone I know, but after seeing how much entertainment this could bring for other gaians I decided let's make this into a petition!
With this being said, this feature would be available in the customize "my avatar tab" I didn't know what menu to base off, so forgive me for explaining this all.
Pretty much you would click "Body Swap" and it would ask for you specify a name to send a request to, or allow you to shortcut pick one of your friends. If the person has "Body Swaps" turned off, or set to friends only the window would alert you. A body swap would work like a trade request for starting, where both parties would have to accept it twice.
I want to go into details of the body swap options now, when you successfully find someone able to be swapped with you'd be presented with two options: "Avatar Only", "Full Body Swap." Avatar only would only be your current avatars, and Full Body Swap would switch everything about you except your name, and profile details. [Thanks to Lunar_Illusion, and others for pointing out this grave flaw] You're probably thinking, well how do I know they won't just sell my stuff? Simple. With a body swap being active, every item becomes soul bound onto the user preventing it from being placed on the market or traded but it is wearable. Also it is unable to be deleted.
Users would cancel the body swap through the same method of starting one, if they are already swapped it'll ask them if they want to cancel the current body swap. One user saying they want to switch back would be enough to return both users to normal and de-soul bound the items once they were returned to their proper owners.
In details now, in configuration there would be a new option under features. It would have "Everyone, Friends Only, No" pretty much allowing control over the body swap option to prevent those who want bugged with this feature from being bugged.
*Due to a concern pointed out by Pixelized Panties, also an option to prevent those on your black list/ignore list from sending you requests.
Now that I've explained this feature pretty much to the bone, and how it'd be very secure and nothing would happen to either parties items let's move onto to signatures, rules, and FAQs. Thank you for having this much patience with my petition so far.
