20081002 MOLOTOV COCKTAILS

Suggestion type

Transforms the existing drinks in useful civilian weapons.

Suggestion Scope

This will affect more Survivors than Zombies.

Suggestion description

Why not change the existing "Wine" for something a little more useful? "Vodka" or "Whiskey" (for example). They say one glass of wine every morning and you will have a better health. Is anybody here worried about health? We wanna survive! With Vodka or Whiskey, or some drink really strong, we can produce Molotovs!

Molotov cocktails could be lit with a "Lighter" (another new item). See this:

The survivor searchs in "Johnny without Arms" and finds Vodka.

He searches again and finds "Lighter".

He uses the "Lighter", wich transforms one "Vodka" or "Whiskey" in his backpack into a Molotov!

He attacks a Zombie with the molotov!

Molotovs can cause about 8 points of damage, 15% of the time. I think the damage is not too much this way, if you analize it is a Molotov! The human body burns very easily. This transforms an useless item that heals 1 HP, in one useful item that burns the undead monsters!

If you think as the "Lighter" as a new weapon... the liquors will be its ammunition! It will be a civilian weapon, just like the movie "28 Days Later" shows...

Also, this mod could make the "pub" places in another source of ammunition for players, so the zombies will have new targets and the survivors will have a new hope!

The Lighter could be found in almost every place, like Police Departments, Fire Stations, Pubs, Clubs, Misc. Buildings, Warehouses, Junkyards... and much more! The Lighter could be more useful if we use it combined with the other items, like the Spray Cans, or the Fuel Cans. We can think about it. But for now, i am only suggesting the Molotov.

The Drinks could be found in their usual places. Soon it will raise the search for alcohol in the game.

I am really enjoying the game, great work you guys done!

Voting Section

Voting Rules
Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped.
# justification ~~~~

Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.


Keep Votes


Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Don't get me wrong, a good molotov suggestion might just get a keep vote from me someday. But, this isn't it. --Blake Firedancer T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T. 01:08, 3 October 2008 (BST)
  2. Kill Nice attempt but it works better with fuel than booze. Try putting it up for discussion on the page linked to below. Oh and I would point out that the dupe votes are all invalid at the moment... the only one with a link is to an area affect weapon causing different damage with different hit chances, a shared theme does not equal dupe guys. --Honestmistake 10:49, 3 October 2008 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. Dupe - but i CBA'ed to find it. Someone else will, though. --WanYao 23:57, 2 October 2008 (BST)
    Additionally, we already have the fuel-flare combo, so -- while I actually think molotovs aren't a bad idea -- this is a tad redundant. However... it's also spammy cuz would fire REALLY hurt a zombie? I mean, a flaming zombie is ever WORSE than a regular one.... --WanYao 00:02, 3 October 2008 (BST)
  2. Dupe - What Wan says above is pretty much all I'd have to say about this. Also, when you light zombies up, you get a bunch of hungry zombies after your brains, while on fire! This wouldn't be all that useful, either, a 15% chance to do 8 points of damage?--A Kenyan Mangrove Crab 00:16, 3 October 2008 (BST)
  3. Dupe As per the link. Pretty much redundant anyway as a shotgun does 10 points of damage with a 65% chance to hit. (BTW: Don't forgot to take it to Talk:Suggestions next time.) Linkthewindow 01:27, 3 October 2008 (BST)
  4. Dupe - Ass above. Also, whiskey would make a pretty terrible Molotov cocktail, as would most vodkas. --William Told 01:41, 3 October 2008 (BST)
  5. Dupe - Also how many bar actually have vodka you can light to cause damage. Go try lighting a bottle of Smirnoff sometime.... -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 12:13, 3 October 2008 (BST)
  6. Dupe - I've seen this one three times now --Lt.G Deathnut | TheStayPuftMan 22:13, 3 October 2008 (BST)



Voting Rules
Current Suggestions

Advice to Suggesters

  1. Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so.
  2. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed.
  3. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes.

Advice to Voters

  1. You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated.
  2. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote.
  3. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion.
  4. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam).
  5. It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion.
  6. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found.
  7. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.
Rules for Discussions

Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20081002 MOLOTOV COCKTAILS). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes
  • Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit.
  • Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page.
  • Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions.
Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied.
  • Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion.
Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied.
  • Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}}
Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Invalid Votes
  • Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide.
  • X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others.
  • Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.
Comments
  • Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting.
  • Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.
All Caps

Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
