I've beat people with a shovel before, and I've seen people try to "fix" the animals. Wether they thought they were broken, or wanted to reduce thier population through other means, it was funny.

I disagree that raw resources should be used as weapons. I mean, if someone bounces a 100g rock off your head, it'd do a little damage to bu sure, but having a 2 kilo stone connect with your skull is going to leave a signifigant mark. If damage is scaled based on weight, then a thief in a mountain could go over to an ungaurded stone pile and start lobbing small boulders about the town at people. 15kg = about 33 lbs. That'd hurt no matter where it hit. And if the resource would be consumed, all that hard mined stone could be lost to a suicidal idiot.

If you want to throw rocks at people, have them code in a new weapon. A rock. It'll go good with the stick.

If you want something to be used as violence against another person, it should involve some deliberate action to acquire a weapon. A rock could be a half day or one hour action to build, take 100g or 500g, and then you don't just have a fistfull of gravel, you have picked out a stone big enough to cause injury, and that makes it a weapon.

Everything that isn't clothing, structures, machines or vehicles, but take effor to make, should be able to be used as a weapon. some of the larger furnature should be ruled out too, but chair can be used to bash people.

How about a limit to how big the rocks can be... and when you attak with them, There is a screan that sais "You can use 500g of rock to attack an any time. you have 302808g of stone, how much g of stone are you going to use"

and it would be like that for every resourse that you throw.

O, and... You people are getting REALLY close to what i am going to go as for holloween.
