Suggestion:20090822 Intoxication

--Brainguard 21:03, 22 August 2009 (BST)

Suggestion type
Building change, new skills

Suggestion scope
Beer and Wine

Suggestion description
Beer and Wine should have more of an effect in Urban Dead. So on top of HP, there would be another health unit: Soberity. Soberity is slowly restored over time. Drinking alchohol decreases it. Once it goes below a certain level, the player is intoxicated. When they are intoxicated:

• Every time the player walks, attacks, or repairs barricades, there is a certain chance they will fall over. When they fall, they lose some HP and must get up again for 5 AP before walking. While down, they are still a target.
• The character's speech becomes somewhat slurred, so certain letters will be removed from their speech.
• The character's ranged accuracy is reduced.
• The character's melee weapon strength is increased.

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

1. Keep - Author Keep. Alchohol should have more of an effect. --Brainguard 21:03, 22 August 2009 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. While it may be more realistic, it doesn't make the game more fun or interesting to have alcoholics included. They'll just end up being annoying while actually believing that they're being extremely cool (just like IRL) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 01:29 23 August 2009 (BST)
2. Kill ok, heres the deal... I like the idea but I think being drunk should be for flavor, not for being realistic... Gat 01:34, 23 August 2009 (BST)
3. kill the stand up cost is way too high and the HP loss should probably only be for drunken free runners. --Honestmistake 10:09, 23 August 2009 (BST)
4. Incomplete. It is NOT a dupe because its incomplete and the fact that people don't quite seem to understand the definition (Bob's third link would probably be the closest were this complete). "...there is a certain chance they will fall over." What chance is that? "...certain letters will be removed from their speech." Which letters? "...ranged accuracy is reduced." By how much? "...melee weapon strength is increased." By how much?--Pesatyel 20:16, 23 August 2009 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Dupe - Dupety dupe dupe. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 21:06, 22 August 2009 (BST)
2. Incomplete as hell - How much total soberity, how much does alcohol decrease it, how quickly does it replenish, chance of falling over, how much hp is lost, what letters can't be used, how much accuracy is lost, how much is strength increased? Imho, remove it, and put it back on DevSug, where these can be worked out properly.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 21:08, 22 August 2009 (BST)
3. Spam - Not only broken and incomplete, but so bad that it would break Urban Dead as well; not using DS is as bad as not posting on it, and don't screw with others' AP. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 17:16, 23 August 2009 (BST)
4. Spam - Every character in UD just has a very high tolerance. --Papa Johnny 22:40, 22 August 2009 (BST)

   Shouldn't that vote be in kill? unsigned reply struck --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:48, 23 August 2009 (BST)

5. Deupe - Your suggestion was labelled as a dupe within one minute of it being posted on DS. Why did you follow through with it? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:48, 23 August 2009 (BST)
6. Dupe - --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 02:28, 23 August 2009 (BST)
7. DUUUPE --Orange Talk 02:32, 23 August 2009 (BST)
8. Spam/Incomplete - Needs a lot more work on the specifics. The basic idea is good.--Maps 07:49, 23 August 2009 (BST)
9. Dupe - as above. --WanYao 17:18, 23 August 2009 (BST)
