20101003 Darts

~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 08:34, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Suggestion type
New weapon

Suggestion scope
Survivors.

Suggestion description
No, not poison darts, or blow-darts, or tranquilliser darts, but good old fashioned arrahs. Why? To complete the Shaun of the Dead references already in the game (I'm sure you remember the scene where they're fighting off the zombie landlord in The Winchester and Shaun gets a dart in the head for his trouble). Found in packs of three in Sports Stores and Pubs, throwing a dart at a target (living or dead) will produce one of two results:

You throw the dart at <target> - you miss and it bounces harmlessly on the floor.
or
You throw the dart at <target> - it hits them for 1 damage.

Search rates and hit rates would be the same for other sports items - a base rate of 10%, rising to 25% with Hand To Hand Combat.

Encumbrance is 1% per pack of three.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - As I said previously, hell yes. —Aichon— 09:06, 3 October 2010 (BST)
2. Keep - I like it, but why Hand to Hand? 11:51, 3 October 2010 (BST)

   I figured "hand-to-hand combat" suggests increased hand-eye co-ordination, which is always useful for chucking darts around. It also keeps it in-line with the other sports items. ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 11:59, 3 October 2010 (BST)

3. Keep/Clarification - Do the packets auto-leave your inventory when they're empty like Flare guns, or stay like pistols?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 11:55, 3 October 2010 (BST)

   They would auto-leave your inventory - they're essentially single items that come in threes. ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 11:59, 3 October 2010 (BST)

4. Keep - As shown on the internets! --Aeon17x 11:57, 3 October 2010 (BST)

6. Eh. Why not? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 19:03, 3 October 2010 (BST)
7. Keep - Now pubs and bars have another point, aside from getting wasted. William Burns 20:14, 3 October 2010 (BST)
8. Keep - Seems a tad lightweight, but it's still a kickin idea. --VVV ^RPMBG 20:52, 3 October 2010 (BST)
9. Darts! Woo! ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:39, 4 October 2010 (BST)
10. Keep - So it's a mostly useless joke item. I'm for it. It could be a sort of humiliation kill. --keepster33 01:59, 7 October 2010 (BST)
11. Keep I agree with giles.. but this is a good suggestion, and it's called flavor DDR. and getting killed by a dart would be entertaining and sorta ninja----sexualharrison ¯\()/¯ 05:47, 8 October 2010 (BST)
12. Keep Kinda nice, though I think the accuracy should go up if a beer/wine is drunk before throwing, because we all know how much accuracy improves when drinking. Mattiator 14:30, 8 October 2010 (BST)
13. Keep - Why the hell not? If Kevan's got a few minutes, I don't see the harm.--• LtZurSee slapped your nose with a newspaper for a heal from CORAM (0 seconds ago) 15:29, 8 October 2010 (BST)
14. Keep - Would love to see a headshot from a dart =P -Dezonus- ^(talk) 23:01, 11 October 2010 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - You'd have to be drunk or British to consider darts a sport.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 23:45, 6 October 2010 (BST)

   To be fair, the game is British. --• LtZurSee slapped your nose with a newspaper for a heal from CORAM (0 seconds ago) 06:50, 12 October 2010 (BST)

2. Kill - sorry mate, I've loved novelty suggestions before but I don't see that value in this. -- LEMON #1 06:09, 7 October 2010 (BST)
3. Kill - So just a standard sports weapon, but with limited ammo and no redeeming feature? Utterly pointless. -- Spiderzed▋ 23:58, 7 October 2010 (BST)
