Aliasing immobilization → fully_bound
Link to alias

Reason:

The wiki page for immobilization says explicitly 'alternative tag to fully_bound', and fully_bound has many more taggings, so..

EDIT: The tag alias immobilization -> fully_bound (forum #280193) has been rejected by @furrypickle.

-1. Immobilization also gets tagged on characters being pinned down, encased in materials and other various ways to make someone immobile, which is not same as fully boud

Ok. That seems accurate -- one involves conventional bondage equipment and the other doesn't. In that case the wiki is definitely incorrect.

It seems pretty similar to restrained.

I'd say that to differentiate them, restrained can sometimes allow movement but never leaving the current spot (which would defeat the tag), whereas immobilization can mean absolutely no movement, which would then have an implication of immobilization → restrained.

There's currently major overlap in restrained and bound. That should probably be sorted out first before trying to figure out the best way to handle immobilization/immobilized and other related tags.

I propose that we separate the usage of the base tags:
- bound when the character is bound/held by objects and other non-living things (ropes, bondage, etc). All the current implications seem to work fine with this usage.
- restrained when the character is restrained/held by an another character (including coiling etc), or a tentacle.

It'd require clean-up, but would be a relatively easy project. (Combo search for restrained bondage solo, etc.)

This was just discussed in Discord #tag-discussions, and an agreement was found, like Genjar proposes here. I agree with it, and am planning on working with the wiki pages towards this target.

This also coincides with my project on clinging tag to be used when a character is self supporting their own lifted, hanging, suspension, etc. A character may hang themselves on a branch with a rope, after which they are only _hanging_ by non-living object, not clinging with their own activity any more.

I worked on immobilization and fully_bound now. I think restrained should be something used, when the character is not immobilized, but somewhat restrained in motion. The counter part for bound should be grabbed.

Could we have a tag grab implicated by all the leg_grab, breast_grab, head_grab, as listed at tag_group:touching in section How Something is Being Touched > Grabbing?
