20070508 Coin Toss

Suggestion type

Item

Suggestion scope

Survivors.

Suggestion description

This is a simple suggestion, for RP/Flavor/Argument settling purpose. I suggest adding a "Coin" item to the game, findable in banks at a rate of 50%. Clicking on it in your inventory costs 1AP and displays the following message:

"PLAYERNAME flips a coin. It lands on heads/tails."

Each possibility would have a fifty percent chance. To prevent spam if someone decides to flip a coin more than once it would be condensed as:

"and again (heads)...and again (tails)...and again (tails)..."etc.

It would be a nice toy and could settle debates.

"Let's go to Caiger!"

"Nah, Ridleybank!"

"Heads Caiger, tails RB"

Keep Votes

1. Keep It'd be nice to have around. --Jon Pyre 22:42, 8 May 2007 (BST)
2. Keep I like it.... Nice little thing to have. I'm guessing that you could ignore it, like you could ignore radio or flares.--Seventythree 22:58, 8 May 2007 (BST)
   • Re It'd be ignorable. --Jon Pyre 23:04, 8 May 2007 (BST)
   • RE Thanks for the clarification. Definately gets my vote. --Seventythree 23:13, 8 May 2007 (BST)
3. Keep' - Just for the Two Face aspect of it. Do I heal the survivor at low HP, or hit them with a shotgun? --Darth Sensitive ^W! 23:15, 8 May 2007 (BST)
4. Keep - Implement this.--Labine50 ^MHG|^MEMS|^DHPD 00:06, 9 May 2007 (BST)
5. Keep Don't see a reason why not. --User:Axe27/Sig 00:07, 9 May 2007 (BST)
6. Keep Simple, easy to implement, why not? Just maybe drop the find rate so people around dont get too spammed by coin tosses. --KiT 00:23, 9 May 2007 (BST)
   • Re The coin would be an infinite use item, costing 1AP per flip. So the search rate is more or less irrelevant, once you have one you can flip as much as you like. The AP cost should prevent spam since nobody wise would waste their AP flipping repeatedly. And if it bothers anyone they'll be able to ignore either that user or coin tosses in general. --Jon Pyre 04:08, 9 May 2007 (BST)
7. Keep Got this from Shartak? A definite keeper. Please implement. --Target Zombie 00:37, 9 May 2007 (BST) Woops almost forgot the sig!

11. Keep - If it lands on heads, I walk away. Tails.... well, lets just say that you won't be alive for much longer! --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 07:58, 9 May 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Against - I can settle an argument just as easily as PKing someone,... or making some other form of challenge (race to specific point, first to find a flare gun and fire it at a specific point, etc.). These challenges would be much more fun. --Poodle of doom 04:23, 9 May 2007 (BST)
   • Re Then do that instead if you prefer. You wouldn't be forced to get a coin. This can just save time and AP. --Jon Pyre 11:00, 9 May 2007 (BST)
