I need a smoke

Postby SekoETC » Sat May 15, 2004 9:39 am

Someone has probably suggested this already but... Could you add tobacco to the game? You could wrap dried tobacco inside leaves and smoke it. Is there an option to smoke hemp? ;) And why can't you brew ale? That was more common than water in the old days.

as far as i know all of these things are being considered (well they was on the list last i saw anyway) accept the hemp smoking since all smoking real hemp does is give you a head ache and a bad cough

"Old Days"? you must be thinking back to the days men traveld by chariots, lets just say around the 1500's. However, they also had domestic animals like dogs, horses, cows, and sheep. We haven't even gotten that far yet :?

It's still a good idea though :lol:

By the 1500s or so, at least in europe, it was safer to drink ale than drink the water .

When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they were amazed that the people who drank the groundwater were just as healthy as those who drank the ale.

Crazy.

I don't really think that Cantr needs drugs. There are a couple of threads on this already, but hey, its phpbb why not start another one, that's the way it goes. (I've kinda got used to it, it's not that unmanagable after all with good skills at searching topics)

Maybe hemp, yea. You know, you don't want to put 200 grams of hemp in a pipe. Maybe produce hashish 500 g hemp -> 20 g of hash or something like that...

But I just cannot imagine how the actual act of smoking to be implemented... You don't want to have a project.... nooo....

Maybe... you have a pipe... and 'use' it -> 'woman in her sixties lites pipe' and that's it. No project, no putting anything into any kind of project and no time needed. That would be an entirely new kind of in-game activity.

But... the point of drugs are the psychoactive effects. Of all of them, of course. Having drugs in Cantr would be non-functionality put to the extremes. I don't know... Something similar to clothes at present, but even more non-functional.

And... drugs are bad, mm'kay? Without simulating the possible negative (edit: and positive) physical _and mental_ consequences, this would give a decieving impression about drugs. That's not good.

I was refering to the ale, not the drugs, as it has been talked about so many times before, so I leave that one alone

Cigars and Beer are already in the game. They're just not programmed to do anything yet, so they've yet to be released.
