Here's an unusual request...
I'm a computer game designer, currently doing a sequel to a game that deals with life issues, and emotions. The game basically runs like a series of choices where you allocate time, and every decision affects you in a whole host of different ways. if this sounds weird, it might be worth looking briefly at the original (

Anyway... I'm at a bit of a dilemma in the game design right now. I don't have enough activities and objects that influence some of the variables in the game, namely:
- Charisma (taken to also mean attractiveness)
- Confidence
- Honesty
Right now, there are self-help books for confidence, but no activities other than winning games (like chess or football or bowling). Charisma is pencilled in as being boosted by seeing stand up comedians (the charisma rubs off?) and I was considering sunbathing to improve it, or maybe trips to a spa. As for honesty, I'm at a loss. church attendance currently boosts it.
In addition to activities, the game models how your friends values and attributes rub off on you, but what I'm looking for is activities, either solo or social that affects these things. I don't want to get caught in my own world, hence I'm asking you people
.
So what do you do that affects your honesty, your charisma and your confidence?
Thanks for any suggestions, all much appreciated!
