A large sack

Postby YugoStrikesBack » Sun Jul 11, 2010 10:00 am

I propose that we allow people to have a large sack. Yes, I'm sure your dirty mind thinks this is another one of my perverted posts, but alas, you are once again wrong.

The sack will allow anything to be placed in it up to 60,000 grams, the perfect weight for allowing a body to be placed in there. Furthermore, the sack can be dragged and instantly emptied by allowing a person to dump all the items in the bag on the floor. This will allow people to stuff items into the sack, drag the sack to the desired locations, and then dump it all out without having to pursue a million and one clicks in between.

Furthermore, we could have a shoulder sack that allows people to carry anything inside of the sack. This sack will allow people to keep objects they want to hold onto, but hate dropping when they need extra space, such as a million keys. Furthermore, it could hide objects a person is possessing.

Apart from to hide to identity of a dead body, I don't see the point. Most live ones carry things so would't fit. Dead ones can be dragged anywhere anyway - point?

Sounds like kidnapping to me...

A good idea - wasn't storage of items dropped though due to programming problems???

I agee and think there should be a way to do this without having to drop them on a locked vehicle.

The Burlap sack can be changed to hold tools and other stuff. And an empty all function could be added. But I think we also need a function to load a million items into the sack in one go. To prevent thieves from misusing this function we can let only those holding some magic wand have access to this function. The magic wand should itself be very costly to make in terms of resources and time so that ideally only town leaders have access to it. And since it is magic it could disintegrate once it is dropped (so that thieves can't gain it by killing a town leader).

The only things holding back storing items in containers are: wanting to take dimensions into account and the possibility of storing an infinite amount of clothes and notes if weight was the only limiting factor.

I think a large sack would be a good idea but 60 kilos sounds pretty huge. If it was actually possible to put corpses in bags then it could be called a body bag and shaped accordingly. It would also be neat if it could be used to kidnap living people but I don't see that happening any time soon. And aren't sacks usually meant to be carried? Maybe there could be one that holds 15 kilos, well, you couldn't lift it when it was full because the weight of the sack would put it over the limit, but you could drag it or carry it while almost full. Or maybe just 14 kilos.

Well don't allow notes to be put in a sack because there are already sacks available for notes called Envelopes. In my opinion, clothes should have some weight. In any case, sacks can have a limit on the number of items they can hold.

Couldn't a character's inventory be thought of as a "sack" in this manner?

I would like to see some kind of sack that can conceal things though, there's so many towns now that have suspicious laws, outlawing the carrying of weapons and crowbars. I mean really though, weapon, shield and especially crowbars are like lifelines, who wants to leave that stuff in their cars or boats? Perhaps it could even add slightly to the weight limit of characters. There really is'nt any definition in place for how characters even carry items in the first place, so let's say they're carrying it all with their hands and arms, having a backpack of sorts that could be slung over the shoulders would add more carrying capacity. I don't really think it should be sixty kilos though. Maybe somewhere in the area of an extra fifteen kilos, perhaps.

In those suspicious towns, you'd just be required to present the bag for a search.

Well technically 15 kilograms is'nt that much weight anyway just thirty some odd pounds. I've concealed thirty pounds of stuff under my clothes before, so why not a small pack that has the same capacity? It's not like it's a hundred pounds of shit that would make that impossible. Basically a concealable small pack.

Or perhaps even a pack that can hold only five kilos that is concealable.
