Picnic Table

Postby masterekat » Sat Dec 03, 2011 3:18 am

I really would like a big outdoor table that a lot of people could sit at. Mainly for RP purposes, but maybe it could reduce a little bit of tiredness as well.

If it's only for RP you can use the stone table.

I was thinking, a while back, about a picnic basket. I do like the picnic idea a lot, and it would be great to have something to aid picnic rp. I know a lot of characters that'd use it.

I thought the picnic basket could use similar mechanics as the cage... But, in theory it would need to be portable, which is why I think a picnic table would be just as good.

I don't know that a stone table would have quite the same affect. If you could actively sit at/inside a picnic table, as if it was a stationary vehicle, others could actively see you at a picnic table, which would really help bring it to life.

I think there should be a lot of credit for the picnic idea. The more rp accessories there are, the more enjoyable rp can be.

My biggest issue with using the stone table is....who would want to sit at one of those while someone is crushing rocks with a sledgehammer on it? ;)

Exactly! Also, I'm not sure about anyone else, but I never imagined the stone table having benches attached to it. I always just envisioned it as something a character stood at to work.

Especially if they're awkward at it. I'd worry about them accidentally missing the rock and hitting my hand instead.

Just say: "Hey, would you stop that! I'm eating here."

So do I understand you right that you want the picknic table to be a location?
Pretty in pink.

I only wanted the table to be a furniture item that could be built outdoors with a capactity for 6 to 10 people, and possibly could reduce tiredness for those using it. Though that last part isn't a necessity.

A regular table with 4 wooden benches wouldn't do the trick? (the table can be build also outside, the wiki isn't updated) :)

Alfie! Shame! Next, you'll be saying "Can't you just rp swimming with the water pump?" :D

From my experiences, all acts require props to become great successes. Every prop offered to us for rp will be applauded, used and enjoyed. I'm sure of it.
