Implemented Give us the ability to assign other people nicknames.

[Conundrum]

It is the one advantage Nebulous has over Willard. As it stands someone could set their description to be vague when they wish to and essentially make recognizing them an impossibility.

Essentially, let us remember a face. Because right now you're at the mercy of hoping someones description is informative, unique and does not get edited.

/SetNickname please.

this is a good idea, but prone to meta.

Might be slightly, but there are workarounds for it. They've already implemented clothing items that can mask your identity and make you unrecognizable, so if you wanted to do something illegal you'd just have to wear one of those.

As long as you can't nickname/tag Civil Protection or other faceless characters (including masked civs), I don't see any real problem with it. There's been a few fairly lackluster and generic character descriptions that I've seen so far, and it certainly isn't hard to change your description immediately after doing something naughty to remain anonymous - something like a nick-name system could sort that out.

Added /SetNickname & /RemoveNickname that works for unmasked individuals, won't work trying to set it for masked individuals. Nickname is always hidden when mask is worn.
