Feature idea: Maria the Cocktail Waitress Day.
So, here's a whacky idea. Suppose one day a month, Maria, dressed as a cocktail waitress, appears in a random game room for a random game (e.g., a slot room, a poker room), winks, says something clever (e.g., "Gambling's thirsty work. Have a drink on the house."), and "serves" everyone in the room a drink (i.e., gives them each a "drink" charm). Either everyone in the room gets the same "drink," randomly selected with an appropriate weighting (e.g., beer, 50%; martini, 30%; scotch on the rocks, 15%; and holiday wine, 5%), or perhaps each person's "drink" is randomly selected with a similar weighting.
I like this idea because it would give Zone a more "casino-like" feel, what's given out isn't remotely a game changer (a room Maria visits gets an advantage, but it's miniscule, in the grand scheme of things, so it's in no way unfair to anyone), and the players "served" would get a kick out of it. Further, I don't think it'd be that hard to implement (though I could be here; all code bases are unique), since the tutorial includes a moble, "talking" Maria that could be repurposed for my proposed new feature.
So, what do you think? Players, would you like to see something like this, or does it not appeal to you? Devs, would implementing something like this be an easy-peasy code tweak, or a pull-your-hair-out developmental nightmare? Please let me know.
Take care, and have a great day!

Ack. I forgot to mention that Maria, on "Cocktail-Waitress Maria Day" should be appearing multiple time (say, once every 15 minutes?), each time in a randomly chosen room for a randomly chosen game. Rereading my post, it sounds like I was intending for her to only appear once on "Cocktail-Waitress Maria Day."
Hmm... maybe that's better, actually? Instead of being a special day, "Cocktail-Waitress Maria" could appear once a day, at a random time, in a random room for a random game. Which do you like better? I kinda like both, or either.
