Is Dragging really Dragging?

Postby Bowser » Thu Mar 23, 2006 3:22 am

I have always thought that the Dragging option is really more of a Pushing option.

You drag people into buildings without entering it yourself.
You can't drag someone off a bike unless you get on the bike or boat.

Sounds more like pushing to me.

Ever tried pushing a corpse?

I was always more of the line of thought that it was a "Carrying" option. You almost always need two or more people to do it, sometimes 4. Sounds like carrying to me. :?
Reality was never my strong point.

I always thought it was a "lift and throw" sort of motion. Explains how you can start dragging through a door you can't drag the object through - obviously what happens is that the guy (or corpse) hits the door.

My char was getting to know his girlfriend rather intimately in a house of worship once, when a corpse was "dragged" in. I've always assumed it was thrown in, or the draggers would have certainly noticed what was going on. *grin*

*cringes at the thought* That would do some damage.
Dragging in Cantr is a general term. It could be pushing, throwing, pulling, carrying, whatever.

I've always imagined a sort of dragging or pulling, then opening the door and then pushing the person/corpse through the door...while averting their eyes to whatever is happening inside the building. Cantrians can either not go into a building or barge into building and wonder loudly why there's two people inside doing no projects at all. Peeping while throwing in a corpse is just plain rude.
