Everything as a weapon

Postby Meh » Thu Jul 17, 2003 3:32 am

While anti-social behavior shouldn't be over encouraged maybe it need a little more representation in the game.

Food Fight! - throwing tomatoes etc. Them pineapple could hurt a bit.

Public Stoning - :twisted:

Yes, I've always wondered why you can't attack someone with a stone hammer, if it worked for cavemen, then why not us?

Yes. I always wanted to poke people in the eye with a screwdriver. I was very happy to find that a chisel is an effective weapon. :)

Yeah, it'd be more realistic if everything could be used as a weapon, after all, nothing would even do much damage compared to the weapons already in play.

Speaking of everything being a weapon why can't we hit people with our vechicles?

Htiing a person with a vechicle should do major damage to them and slight damage to you since it is an acident and if they are in a vechicle both should recieve major damage,

It'd be too powerful. You'd kill them with one hit. But if you could accidentally hit someone as you were driving away, hilarity would ensue. But seriously, I think vehicles should be an exception. They should only be used for transportation, and in a limited sense as a place for storage. I know I have a lot of junk in my car. :wink: The same would be for domesticated animals. You shouldn't have your cow kicking people. Just giving you milk and meat. Unless you could throw the cow. :D

Man, you beat me to it, Chris. Stop stealing the posts out from under me.

I'm not saying have the car do 80% damage. something like 20% and there should be a chance you miss the person and crash it could also do damage to the car which could tie in to my other post on things needing to be upkept and repaired.

Hmm... chance of missing. It would have to be pretty high, as I'd think people could run out of the way pretty fast with a car driving around the center of a town. Not much speed to gain. But perhaps cars could be weapons. Just not effective ones. It's not their purpose. The same could go for destruction of monuments and buildings. There would be a chance that they'd fall on someone by accident. This reminds me, need to start a new topic for somthing. :twisted:

I think cars should be usable as weapons, but, yes, maybe hard to direct properly.

Since cars and vehicles would so unbalancing on combat, I think it highlights some of the technological inconsistencies in the game: guns came before cars, but not on cantr. Personally I would like it put right, the little bits of technology that are way out of place gone until it really is right for it, but that's a different discussion for a different thread.

I think being hit on the head with a piece of spinage would also be one of the most suckiest ways of dying.

you'd have to be pretty low to be killed by some spinage.

but what about celery beatings? everyone in the town has a traditional fight with sticks of celery, beating each other with sticks of the stuff, lol!

Quick, someone make cerely and give it a weapon value; I want a celery fight!!
