Disease

[CN]

"You see a man in his sixties eat the corpse of Sleeping Spawn" followed by "A man in his sixties coughs repeatedly" heheheh...)

Firstly, ewwwww.

Secondly, by "coughs repeatedly" do you mean, "vomits bloody chunks, spewing everywhere (including on people)"?
Because I think that'd be more efficient at spreading disease. hehe. And maybe creating a desire for flesh. Mmm, zombies....

teehehe

Firstly.... you vegan hippie!
Secondly, according to scores of Asians and Mexican Flue victims, coughing does alright.... I'd put those smilies here too but.... that's a bit too dark even for me. Just a bit though.
The blood and chunks, much more effective, but.... heck, some things make the less efficient ways more worthwhile.
I mean.... someone coughing on a hundred people individually just to spread some disease, or someone needing just one splatter to infect hundreds... as inefficient as the cougher is in comparison, I'd definitely be more impressed with his/her effort/input/passion for the cause :p

Touching back on something Snick said on page one, I've seen characters roleplay illnesses and diseases. A guy once roleplayed lime disease from a tick bite after having contact with a deer. A lot of people couldn't figure it out, I think I ended up googling all his symptoms and figured it.

It's non-contagious, but it's still an illness. I've also had a character myself that was a drunk, and got a lot of faint/weak spells and coughing fits from what (I hope others assumed too) was from her insides slowly shutting down.

Nice touch on the drunk... might have seen that on a previous account.... was it an older male char, quite a while ago (somewhere between the 1900's and the 2500's) on Treefeather?
Edit: Never mind, HER insides.... I think I'm going to need glasses. With more whiskey

I've also once seen a couple, both of them already very old, roleplay failing immune systems and illnesses that the oldies would be very vulnerable to.
The man did an eerie good job at throwing in Alzheimer's and other failures of his mind... and both of them did a great job at losing muscle tissue (atrophy, if I remember the word right) from not getting enough ecersize at their old age anymore.
Both died shortly after eachother - the man from a heart attack, the woman because she had stopped taking care of herself, including keeping herself fed.

I've also seen on my current account, a spawn with what's-it-called... that sensitivity to sunlight... to such an extent that he played out getting blisters and third-degree burns.
Unfortunately he seemed to have given up on playing it out when hardly anyone payed any attention to it...
