Other possibilities should be (Although you normally just RP those kind of things);
- Washing ashore (Coastal Locations?)
- Falling from the sky (Anywhere.) (*)
- Arrive riding a giant frog (Swamp?)
- Emerge from the woods (Woodlands.)
- Getting up from under a thin layer of sand (Desert.)
- Rising up from the water. (Swamp.)
- Come rolling down the hills. (Hills.) (**)
- Being found in the grass (Grasslands.)
* Would also instantly kill subject.
** Would possibly kill subject.
And many, many more!

Yeah that's a good idea Caesar, kill characters because their player didn't want to wait X amount of time and have them born but rather spawned.
I'm with Darel though, it is rather boring... and most people ignore those that "can't help" with whatever so Babies and players are not "bothered with" until the character is 1 and then 5. After that they are a "typical member" of the colony.
That's approximately a month before other players "let you" RP play the game with them. You think ignoring newspawns is bad?

Maybe I should start handing you out names of people in my colony. You piss me off with your "its boring and nobody cares about Rping with you" shit. Just because you happen to have a bad experience, doesn't mean you have the right to lump everyone in together. Because, I'm sorry, but in our colony, people to RP with babies, from the moment they're awake, myself included, unless they are the *is hungry* *wants attention* *needs food* type.Dudel wrote:Yeah that's a good idea Caesar, kill characters because their player didn't want to wait X amount of time and have them born but rather spawned.

Seconded. And it's getting annoying now, Dudel. You post the same over and over again. We know it, FTO sucks.

This doesn't go here, but...
Like I said before, "Unless you get sit with the 'golden few' you are pretty much screwed."
Wiro, Reb... you two would be some of the "golden few"... THANK YOU! X|
But it is on that ground alone that I'd rather not have babies etc... cause you are STUCK, as a player, with the people who "bore" your character.
With the option of spawning AS WELL, it would be tolerable. Especially with still being allowed to have 15 characters.
I'd tell you something, if FTO allowed me AT LEAST 3 characters... my ONE would be very sleepy... until he got to about 5 then would simply... leave. I'd have at least one of the other two that "got lucky" with his "spawn location".

Cause I can't edit my post...
ALSO: I just thought of a HUGE advantage to births.
You can PICK when you "get a newspawn". Basically you can prepare for it, its not randomly disruptive all "BOOM HERE IS A NEW GUY" as sometimes you just... REALLY don't wanna deal with one.
I know that's a bad way to think about newspawns but sometimes... sometimes you just don't wanna bother.

I hope you understood that I was joking there. (Even though it seems my humor doesn't really.. appeal to people.)

I really don't get the constant nagging from people about newspawns either not being accepted or being boring..

Well I thought it was funny if that makes any difference...

Okay let me elaborate on my FTO experience.
After five is better. But it lacks in what a real experience of family role-play should be. My family, my mother is dead, my father is a sleeper and half of the family has died from not eating, or basically not playing for a few days.
From what ive been able to determine this is commonplace.
Sleeping is bad enough for relationships, or partners in business, let alone families!
My FTO character is becoming a real f**k up just because of players without much time.
Im sure it kills new player interest. However, from a personal POV, its offer new an interesting RP possibilities. The abandoned children creating society by themselves! Its like lord of the flies.
Still its not quite right.
Heres a solution: making a baby is a five year project, demanding two people, but they must actively renew the project by applying food and clothes etc. That way only active parents can properly raise children, rather than having kids pop up everywhere. Also there should be spawning as an option, mainly because kids are serious hard roleplay, and not for everyone.

Kids being a project..?
A big no.
Why should the kid be wearing clothes? Maybe the parents are some sort of naked wildmen. They won't dress up their children.

Waiting to play FTO... (copy-paste)
The main source of problems in FTO is lack of choice, and no other possibility than being born a helpless child (after waiting few months in a que). I bet the things would look much better if they had our plain spawning available as well. then only those who would like to RP parents/children would do so, and other wouldn't be forced into the way of playing they don't like.
@Caesar
I don't understand what should be wrong with your sense of humor. It's perfectly perfect for me.
