Screaming

All righty, then.

Right now, we can talk to everyone and we can whisper to one person at a time. What if we could breathe deep and let out a scream from the bottom of our carrot-filled stomachs?

This could have multiple uses. I was thinking that they could be audible in adjacent rooms or in the town square. So, if you've been imprisoned, you could scream for help and there's a chance someone outside might hear you.

It could also work on boats. Boats within a certain range could hear screaming from other boats. "Help, we're being attacked by pirates!"

Also, maybe screaming on roads could be heard in nearby towns, and vice versa.

Kinda like a free radio?

...

In a sense, yes. But it'd be less powerful, and maybe too much screaming could make you tired. You wouldn't be able to scream from one town to another, I was thinking no more than an hour or two's walk outside town. I don't know about how the boat system works, so I can't give a good distance.

I remember shouting through doors at some point. It's about the same. Anyway, there would be a limit on how many times you can do it in a day, and if you shout too much, you might even lose your voice for a while.

Maybe shouting would just be heard through one doorway/building level, and one or two hours walk from the center of town, and add tiredness, rising exponentially. So the first shout in a day would be say 2% tiredness, second shout would cost 4%, third would cost 8%, and so on, so it couldn't be spammed, or overused by anyone hoping to get something done. It could also appear bold or a different color in the events screen to make it stand out.

I like this. But screaming should make you tired, and it would be realistic then if you are on a road you must be very close to someone to say something without screaming to her/him.
