leisure -- entertainment, social, and personality venue taste
Online players and Echoes grow bored (entertainment) and lonely (social) over time. Tagged rooms ease those meters; room verbs ease them faster.
How you play
1. needs -- see entertainment / social bars.
2. Go somewhere tagged bar, library, park, plaza, arcade, …
3. watch -- when the room has entertainment (TV, arcade, bar vibe).
On a town square: watch room (see traffic) or watch <name> (tail someone).
4. read -- when the room has library or entertainment stacks.
5. hangout -- when the room has social (plaza, bar, park company).
6. Or just stand there -- tagged rooms ease meters slowly.
Public hubs (town squares): Cadence foot traffic is sampled so the plaza is not a wall of arrive/leave lines. watch room opts you back into full comings and goings and helps you spot sneaking/hidden actors. watch
<name> makes it harder for them to pick your pocket unless they are a practiced thief (help thievery). watch off to drop the stance.
