20070601 Survivor Suicides

Suggestion type
Improvement, mostly for flavour.

Suggestion scope
Survivors.

Suggestion description
This is essentially a way for those survivors that want to change into zombies a fun little way of crossing over. First off, the only ways to die in this game so far are to be eaten by zombies, PKed by PKers, or by jumping out a window. However, jumping out a window would break your legs, wouldn't it? What I'm suggesting is a large group of new ways to kill yourself. One would be to use a weapon to kill youself. It would act like you were to attack someone, only you be attacking yourself. When you die, you fall down dead and have to stand up. Secondly, there would be "suicide items" that allow you to kill yourself. One could be a noose, (thanks to Werewolf32 for how this started ( Length of Rope)). By making a noose, you can hang yourself on a tree branch or street lamp. The noose would break, but everyone would see you as a zombie "with a broken noose around its neck". This could also be used with the new clothing update. A noose could become a neck piece!

There could be other "suicide items", but as I doubt anyone would want to throw a toaster into a bathtub, or fall down a flight of stairs, or slit their wrists with a fire axe (Owwww!), this may take a while to find out which ones would work correctly in this game.

However, as a base rule, you cannot kill yourself inside. This is to prevent a whole group of "survivors" entering a heavily barricaded building, only to group suicide inside and zombie-smite all those within. Weapon using would bring up the message of "you don't want to hit anyone else", and hanging would bring up "you can't reach the rafters here".

So now all you survivors who need to become zombies quickly can do so without having to wait an hour outside or have to waste AP looking for a tall enough building. All you have to do is go outside and use a rope or a bullet.

Kill Votes

1. STRONG KILL - I feel bad for the sick pups below that feel this is "humorous" of all things, and belongs in the humorous section. This has absolutly no place in the game I think. I believe it would be to overly graphic considering the age range that probably plays this game. --Poodle of doom 04:23, 2 June 2007 (BST)
2. STRONG KILL - This idea is just plain SICK! I feel sorry for the guys who this is funny too. --Sonofagun18 09:54, 2 June 2007 (BST)
3. Kill Suicide items? Let's just have jumping from a very long way up as suicide. Please.--Seventythree 15:23, 2 June 2007 (BST)
4. Kill - Makes life easier for Zombie Spies. --Saluton 17:01, 2 June 2007 (BST)
5. Kill - Wow what a coincidence. My name matches this one perfectly, too bad I don't like it. There are plenty of things wrong with this. For one "can't reach the rafters here". Have you seen anyone serious about suicide? They aren't going to let a little thing like the height of the rafters stop them from offing them selves. Seventy three says the rest.

6. Kill - This has come up before and I just don't think we should add more suicide options to the game. It bugs me for some reason... Maybe it has something to do with having friends and relatives who've actually done it. Sorry. --Uncle Bill 03:38, 5 June 2007 (BST)
7. Kill -for reasons already given-- Vista  +1  20:13, 5 June 2007 (BST)
8. STRONG KILL - This has to be the most stupid suggestion I have ever read. How is a choice of suicide techniques an improvement? This is lame and immature. I have a dark sense of humour (I really do), but did you actually think that Kevan would include this in UD? armareum 14:23, 8 June 2007 (BST)

4. Humorous - Oh the Humorous-anity!--Charley C. 03:11, 2 June 2007 (BST)
5. Humorous - I like the idea of someone who is suicidal worrying about accidentally hitting someone else. Don't want to get your blood on their fur coat or something.--Bluish wolf 07:21, 2 June 2007 (BST)
6. Humorous - yeap! --Duke Garland_T^{LCD SSZ} 10:46, 2 June 2007 (BST)

The Humorous-ness has been cited. I would appreciate if someone would move this to the humorous section please. -Zed Ed 08:48, 3 June 2007 (BST)
