Meat!!

[creepyguyinblack]

There is a similar brain disease that affects some asian or african tribes that still eat human brains, or at least I've heard of something to that effect.

That sounds like a rumor...fact is, Africa is the continent with the least signs of cannibalism ever.

[Meh]

Someone did a study that our common past brain eating history may have help provide prtection against brain ailments.

The disease you mention is called Kuru. There was an epidemic in New Guinea 50 years ago.

To be fair the human sacirfice and canniablism praticed in Europe by some Celts didn't happen recently enough to be documented well.

There are mostly political reasons why it is not well documented.
The same goes for the natives in North America.

Out of all the continents Africa is the one with the least signs of cannibalism, and most of the signs they have found points to it being a form of torture against their enemies.

David is right. Though there is some evidence that that has occurred at least for Continental Celts. No such evidence has been found on Irish Celts of such sacrifices. But that is where the myth comes from that Celts sacrifice virgin, young women to their gods or to whatever spirits they worshipped. Irish Celts worshipped nature and that is why a lot of their art and stuff has to do with natural things such as animals. Look at Irish coat of arms for instance.

Anyways, perhaps, when an animal is killed the corpse should end up on the ground instead of the meat and hide ending up in the person's inventory. When an animal is killed then a person can skin it for the hide (or pluck it for the feathers) and then take out what meat can be used for eating. Then the carcass can be buried or left to turn into bones that can be used as primitive tools or weapons. Perhaps, we could add in scavenger animals into the game that would be found in areas where there are a lot of dead things. A lot of these animals in real life carry diseases so a huge infestation could lead to widespread disease which gives a very good reason for people in Cantr to either entomb or bury the dead.

I like that idea a lot

I am fat! I may not look it but if you llook closely you can see what I mean!

There are also many viruses which eat meat of the human (brain, tissues, etc.). Interesting idea to put into the game.

I like the idea of canibalism, but am not sure about defining meat, maybe red meat, white meat, but how would you know? The most interesting side of this is that you could strip meat from a body, and that would show up as an event, but if you mudered somebody where nobody saw it, and took the meat off the body, it would just show up as red meat, and then you could give it to someone and no one would know the differance!! Which Im sure has been done in a movie or two.

Also when a body was stripped of its meat it would become a mangled body or a skeleton!

[Meh]

To break with the cannablism for the moment.

There are many other animal parts that are useful.

What about haggis (sp?)?

701-3: Rachel Lee gives you 200g meat.
701-3: you say "Rachel this is delicious...what is it?"
701-4 Rachel Lee says "It's King Ox! ::grins wickedly::

Time to revive a long dead thread. Canibalism, I want. Make a project like burying someone (removes the corpse as well, but takes longer then burying someone) that takes a full day and gives meat and bones!

[colonel]

Well then bodies would rot away in time right? And all that would be left is skeletons right?

[Talapus]

Now that bodies have age, perhaps you could only canibalize people who have been dead for less then a year?

[west]

bodies have always had age. It's just that now it's visible.

[PRUT]

Canibalism? What a weird idea! Some don't want implementing sex, so canibalism won't get through. I don't want to see "man in his twenties eating body of woman in her twenties".

Maybe skeletons is a better idea. It can produce small bones
