I was sure I found a scalpel somewhere... oh well -- boxy • talk • 00:56 29 September 2007 (BST)

Didn't the scalpel come from MrA's suggestion, Just a Knife? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:02, 29 September 2007 (BST)

Yeah, but I'm sure I saw then ingame sometime... I'm thinking it could have been the fort infirmary now (sorta a hospital, but hardly more accessible to most newbies), there's a mention of large scalpels in the beginners guide -- boxy • talk • 01:16 29 September 2007 (BST)

Well in all my time in a Hospital, I've never found a scalpel. And my group happens to be based largely in a hospital, so I'd know if there'd be one to find.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:28, 29 September 2007 (BST)

im pretty sure scalpels can be found in fort infirmarys.--'BP^Tmz 03:10, 29 September 2007 (BST)

If you scroll Fort Creedy's page down a bit, it says large scalpels can be found in fort infirmaries. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 08:56, 29 September 2007 (BST)

Duped

I'd still be interested to know how close the suggestions have to be to be a valid dupe, or if it really is enough that three voters think it's close enough. Also, the dupe template is a bit offensive about the suggestions talk page. I did take this there first. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 08:56, 29 September 2007 (BST)

Well, they've got to be pretty close... here is yours, followed by the one it was duped by...

• I suggest that you would be able to find knives in Hospitals (scalpels, 5%), Hotels and Motels and Mansions' kitchens and dining-rooms (kitchen-knives, 4%).
• I suggest adding Hospitals to the list of buildings at a 2% search success rate.

The only difference is that they would also be found in Motels and Mansions, places that are a waste of time searching. That really is plenty close enough, especially given that the dupe is already in peer reviewed, as is this other similar one. And the dupe template, yeah, it sucks that sooner or later it'd end up on a suggestion that already went through the talk page. If you can word it better, please do edit it -- boxy • talk • 13:34 29 September 2007 (BST)

Now, that one is a dupe, but I probably wouldn't vote dupe on the previous one, mainly because the knives would become noticeably more common with my suggestion (2.5 times the search rate at hospitals + 2 other buildings which aren't important, so it's not uncommon to see them below VSB). Seems that Duke Garland made it before me to the template, but I still cleaned it up a bit. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 20:55, 29 September 2007 (BST)
