'''Suggestion description'''<br />

I have edited this a bit from my original post on the talk page

This idea is perfect for all pub dwellers...

So heres the basic concept: When some one currently drinks a beer in urban dead, there is no announcment. Now where is the fun in that?!? I think it is the right of every pub dweller in malton to drink a beer, and for everyone to know it!
so basically whenever someone drinks a beer, everyone in the same pub (only pubs, to prevent spamming) sees the text
 {player name} {sculls/drinks/swallows down/takes a swing of} a beer. 

Whether the player drinks, sculls, takes a swing of or swallows it is random, so you might have:

{player name} drinks a beer.

then if you drink another beer, it might say:

{player name} swallows down a beer.

This is perfect for pubs, as there can be plenty of drinking compititions and fun for everyone! If your survivor happens to be a heavy drinker, drink a beer and shout something witty before decapitating a zombie!
Also, perhaps if you find the beer in a powered pub, the description changes from beer to ice cold beer. Therefore: {player name} takes a swing of ice cold beer. And if you really dont want to hear survivors drinking beer, you simply can turn hear 'beer drinkers' on and off

Beer...mmm...   EDIT: I dont think I made myslef clear...If you dont want to hear people drinking bear, you will be allowed to turn it of in settings. Whether you drink, swallow down, scull or take a swing of beer '''is not your choice''' it is randomized flavour text. For the people claiming my work is a dupe, please provide a link, and if you already have, please tell me, and people who vote no, please explain why so I can understand why you said no. I also now think it should be exclusive to pubs, for roleplaying reasons. Thank you.

#'''Keep''' - Seems like a cool idea, there aren't enough options in the game. [[User:Windgoddess|Windgoddess]] 02:47, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#'''Keep/Condition''' Only in bars. [[User:Sockem|Sockem]] 03:23, 16 October 2007 (BST)

#'''Keep''' - As a proud member of the drinking club... er... survivor group known as the Hollomstown Area Regional Defence, I demand the right to let everyone else know I'm not silly enough to fight zombies sober! --{{User:Sushiknight/sig}} 06:39, 16 October 2007 (BST)

#'''Keep''' UrbanDead is an RPG. As such, it's up to the player to decide how he wants to play it. If I want everyone to know how trashed I am before I go out and re-kill the dead, then I ought to be able to do it. And if you don't like it, hit that toggle switch underneath the toggle for flares, feeding groans, radio messages, and barricading. --[[User:MrCoolantSpray|MrCoolantSpray]] 14:04, 17 October 2007 (BST)


'''Kill Votes'''
# Since when is flavor text spam? As someone said below though, don't give options.  Be precise.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 03:20, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#: What do you mean by options? --[[User:Mr Cane|Mr Cane]] 06:19, 16 October 2007 (BST)


'''Spam/Dupe Votes'''
#'''Spam'''Next time, format it right. {{User:Nalikill/Sig}} 23:47, 15 October 2007 (BST)
#:That is hardly fair, my idea is original, and isn't crap, so you can't just spam it because this was my first time making a suggestion and I got the formatting wrong! --[[User:Mr Cane|Mr Cane]] 23:58, 15 October 2007 (BST)
#::It ain't fair, but it is a justification. And that's aaaaalll I need for that vote to be valid. {{User:Nalikill/Sig}} 00:03, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#:::...How is beer text spam if you dont consider it completely awful, like the suggestion guidelines say? --[[User:Mr Cane|Mr Cane]] 00:23, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#'''Spam''' - Don't include options in your suggestions. Take it to the developing suggestions page if you want people to tell you which parts are good or bad (and whether you should even bother putting it here on the suggestions page). That said, this is crap. It would just create more screen spam. --[[User:Steakfish|Steakfish]] 00:00, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#:Hey, you actually did take it to the developing suggestions page... where you let it develop for all of 3 hours. Be more patient next time. --[[User:Steakfish|Steakfish]] 00:18, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#::If you had even read my suggestion you would have seen that I propesed an option to turn it off to prevent spam, and if you are going to critize me, please dont be a jackass about it. --[[User:Mr Cane|Mr Cane]] 00:23, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#:::Sorry if it seems like harsh criticism (you're lucky that Grim hasn't cast a vote yet), but the reality of the suggestions page is such that a large majority of suggestions are killed or spammed. This definitely isn't the worst suggestion I've ever seen (not even close), but it does break one of the basic guidelines... don't give the voters options (does it only work in pubs or does it work everywhere?). Get one, solid idea and then post it. Also, don't get overly worked up about spam votes. Unless you get so many that your suggestion is actually spammed, they're no more powerfull than a kill vote. --[[User:Steakfish|Steakfish]] 02:26, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#'''Dupe''' - I'm certain on this one. It's somewhere, I think there was a few actually, but this one is still a worthy suggestion nonetheless.--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:04, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#:Are you sure? I haven't seen it anywhere else... --[[User:Mr Cane|Mr Cane]] 00:23, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#::Well I'm just guessing really. This vote isn't valid until someone provides a link, so don't worry.--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:27, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#'''Spam''' - It's what I'd use it for.--{{User:Karek/sig}} 02:44, 16 October 2007 (BST)
#'''Spam''' - So far out of the genre you need a space based telescope (And some pretty mean computer enhancement) just to find it. This is a zombie apocalpyse, not a fucking drinking contest game. Its fucking stupid. We dont need endless spam of people doing shots to add to the endless spam of people talking and the endless spam of people using the radio and the endless spam of zombies shouting when they break inside and the far less frequent spam of PKers coming in and offing people. Say no to Spam! Vote Spam! --[[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]] [[We are Trolls!|WAT!]]</sup> 03:08, 16 October 2007 (BST)

#'''DUPE''' This is slightly better than the P/R one (flavour text and ignorable) but it is otherwise pretty much identical! Still a good idea tho ;) --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:48, 16 October 2007 (BST)
