eating too much - bug?

[Cherize]

Kind of like when you go to the grocery store and see that a favorite item of yours is now, new and improved.

You know it's going to suck, before you even try it.

If it's a bug just say so.

If this is a game change, I don't get it. I know Cantr isn't life, but eating 8 days worth of food in one day is a bit extreme.

And all of the "Oh I'm feeling faint" role-playing is just annoying. IMO

It was actually 44 days worth of spinach and an unknown amount of cooked meat for one of my characters.

Eating such an amount of food should have really killed my character, not make him a bit faint.

[tiddy ogg]

None of my chars have yet suffered this, but it certainly sounds counter-intuitive (that's a good word, innit?) to feel faint from excess food rather than the lack of it.
Unless the scenario is that first they feel faint and thus automatically stuff themselves to try a self-cure.

[Elros]

No, you feel faint and then you eat alot.

[Arlequin]

No, you feel faint and then you eat alot.

Now I think my hairy rude lumberjacker is pregnant...

So how can you be so sure you know the cure? I have my theories but I am not sure.

I had two characters that felt faint and then proceeded to pig out. One character carried on normal activities, while the other tried two different remedies. Both characters were sick for the exact same number of days.

Meanwhile, one of the remedies my character tried has been touted in game as the cure, but maybe there isn’t a cure.

Maybe it’s just a like a 24-hour virus: you get it, you get sick, you get better.

But one of my charries has been overeating WITHOUT feeling faint...

notsure

[zisked]

That's what's happened to all of mine who've gotten it. They don't feel faint, they just eat like crazy for a few days.

Some of my chars felt faint, then overate...others overate for a day or so, THEN felt faint, its like "duh no wonder you int feeling too well, you ate half your own bodyweight in food!"

Think this is supposed to teach our charries to share food out nicely and not hoard it to themselves - hence i dub it "Greed Syndrome"

[Nixit]

Why are we not being clued in on this one? Why does is this change secret?

If this theory is indeed correct, the lesson taught, "share your food and don't hold too much at one time" is actually teaching the player, you must be awake everyday to pick up the appropriate amount of food or else you will eat all you have. I doubt the programmers would think that is a good idea.

[Sandra]

A character of my was feeling faint, then soon after the character did something (maybe the cure?), and the character isn't overeating yet. Do you all have both symptoms?

[I_am]

In RL you egest food when you get sick. In Cantr, you ingest food.

The fix is simple.

Rest. Divide the amount of food your character ate, by the amount of food it normally eats of it in a day.
That's how many days rest you need.
