Someone in Kwor was asking the same thing....
I guess you can give some to someone as a gift ^^
They have about as much use as real life flowers.

I thought flower would be nice for adding depth and RP opportunities and stuff, so I threw a few entries into the database. I'll some time go back to it and do a better job

maybe restore a bit of health...or cause you to regain health faster.

There been discussion on stamia etc.

How about a happiness stat?
This stat when low would slow walking and projects.
However violence would not be lowered (in fact is may actaully increase :)

If you do any of the following for more than a year (20 days) you loose 1% happiness:
eat the same food
work on the same type of project
do not speak
are idle
are not around anyone else
in a place that has over 100 unique events a day
outside (not in a building)

IRL none of these things bother people on a day to day basis but imagine an entire year.

Getting hit in anyway from a slap to a crossbow bolt looses 5% happiness.
Witnesses some one getting hit lowers?

Anidote: flowers (a smell button that uses them up?}

Maybe there should be a hug button. If you get a hug it increases your happiness. Hugging yourself doesn't do anything but look silly. Hugging doesn't help for charaters of the same player.

At some level of low hapiness you loose health as if starving.

Now the actual what causes unhappiness is debatable. Maybe a single exclusion could be picked when the chracter reaches 21. As in "I like to be outside" etc.

Possbily a little silly buy what else are flowers good for except a few exotic meals and feeding the bees?

I like eating the same food.
Some people take great enjoyment in their jobs, so some would be happy to do the same work everyday.
Actually, I think I would be happier without people around all the time. Well maybe not all the people but the annoying would make me happier not to see. Like my brother. :lol:

Personally, I don't go and smell the flowers when I'm sad and some people don't like to be hugged or even touched so some this might be an exception but that all has to do with pschology and I think that would near next to impossible to program into the game. What theory would you use anyway? There is Freud's theories, Humanism, Behaviorism etc.... And there is always someone that doesn't agree with one of them.

I'm really not sure what flowers should be used for. I wonder if the Cantr Staff has something in mind for them other than look pretty, well sort of. :wink:

Just take a guess like I did and give people the ability to make a few exlusions after the first 20 days.

Maybe they should be able to pick what makes them feel better like violence :twisted:
