Drugs, Alcohol, Cigarettes

[Agar]

I know of one town that will be locking up "white" addicts untill they kick the stuff. The only reason the leader there can justify anyone wanting to consume it is they're a junkie and so run themselves into the ground gathering it and useing it. White possesion isn't outlawed, but trafficing and gathering it is.

The town has carrots, asparagus, and potatoes, and some other assorted stuff. Seeing how carrots and aspargus are way better than potatoes, potatoes have been classified as "white", and newspawns who don't konw better get to get locked up.

Fun stuff

That's awesome.

Though really, with the gathering slots now you don't even have to justify it by calling someone a junkie. In a town like that potato farmers would be a waste of space...I've never understood why they so often seem to grow
in the same location as carrots and other foods, anyway.

Yep. It would be great. You can make drinking conquest, and char with greatest drunking defence ability can win town election

The biggest reason people have been spouting on about drugs is to make even more pathetic laws and thus making 'organized crime' more rampant.

Organized crime is alot more than running drugs, get creative for lords sake

And even if it was implemented, why would it be outlawed? Associating drugs with crime is an OOC thought, not an IC. Hell, I bet a lot of governments would start producing drugs and selling them themselves.

I still like my egg idea it would add a dark side in cantr.

Women would be able to sell their eggs after mating with a man and thus start a sex trade. C'mon...prostitutes...what more could cantr need.

Ahoyhoy, that post belongs in the Eggs thread (http://www.cantr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6470), not here.

"Selling" is almost an OOC concept too :p
From my experiences, they'd produce and hoarde them.

This is currently being worked on by Resources. Can this be moved to Accepted Suggestions?

Okay... I wonder how these drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes would function in the game...

C'mon, people; this is definitely not nuff said. I'm sure you all have something to say about this suggestion being accepted.

Make the font more and more the same green as the background color, or just more transparent. That way you can drink yourself blind.

Drugs should make the texts randomly marquee and blink and appear in different colors. And make the background not green. That'd be trippy enough for some people. Like those few hours it was white once.

Smoking should create an addiction that you have to kick. Like eating, but you can slowly stop smoking, somehow.

For the record, I protest any sort of drug, alcohol or smoking effect that can in any way benifit your character. Like, if you want to add heroin, just let them enjoy thier herion, and skip thier eating tick. Still make them hungry, just don't broadcast to them that they're hungry, don't have them eat. They are just "out of it" and gloss over the fact they're getting hungry. But they are still having bad things happen. That's what important to me.

If you make it good, well, it'll get me a "power up" that will be abused in game for no reason other than it gives an advantage. That's just wrong.

Drunk while working on a project should slow down progress and perhaps even the percentage completed could decrease.

The string " *hic*" should be sometimes appended to statements a drunken person makes, and occasionally the letter "s" could be appended to words in a statement.

Imagine:

1442-0: You see a Drunken Guy arriving in My Home Town

1442-0: Drunken Guy says: "heres let me helps you withs that *hic*"

...percentage completed on a project decreases.

1442-3: You say: "Oi! You drunken lout, get out of my way!"

I don't feel that there is the need for any more than one drug in Cantr. If one drug would enrich people's experience then would more than one? I suspect not.

I know it is only a mute point..but why add drugs and alcohol to the game...it is an unecessary evil ... There should be absolutely no benifit to any of them..

[Agar]

I really don't knw why either. It'll just give more twenty year olds an excuse to get their characters killed off so they can spawn somewhere else. It's really a juvinile point.

Who posted that crawling featurism definition. This is a prime example of it. "Huh huh, beer's cool, huhuh, let's add beer." I'd rather ride horses way before something as complicated as the effects of drugs is coded. That be a much bigger and more well recieved change than this crap.

Hey, pathetic druggies are fun to toy with, yes? Not that any will present themselves...
