|suggest_type=Skill, balance change, improvement, etc.
|suggest_scope=Zombies and Corpses/Bodies
|suggest_description=This is the same as 'Targeted Feeding' suggestion, except with bodies. I'm suggesting that a drop-down list be added to the dump button. This would allow you to dump specific corpses/bodies that are on your contacts list.

Corpses being dumped  would receive the message the existing message.

The list would include "a body" as the default option.

Rather pointless, IMO, but I don't really care one way or the other. What would the use be of being able to dump specific bodies? --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 19:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
:Reviving bodies enjoy being able to stand up in a powered hospital.  --{{User:Galaxy125/Sig}}19:58, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
It's a blow to zombie anonymity, but I think it is fairly reasonable.  However, the AP cost of dumping a specific body should reflect the additional amount of time or energy you spend making sure you're dumping the right one. --{{User:Galaxy125/Sig}}19:58, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
:How would this hurt anonymity? You'd have to have them in your contacts list before you could dump specific individuals. Besides, it'd be "corpse anonymity" <tt>;)</tt>. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]&nbsp;<small><sup><span style="background-color:black;color:yellow">'''Big&nbsp;Brother&nbsp;Diary&nbsp;Room:&nbsp;[520,28]'''</span></sup></small> 20:37, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
::Corpse anonymity, sure.  What I mean is, if a player attacks you and then is killed by another person but not dumped (and is a corpse among others on the floor), you would be able to quick-add that person to your contacts list and dump that specific one, even though (for all intents and purposes) you realistically shouldn't necessarily be able to identify it unless you spend extra energy doing so (hence the AP cost).  --{{User:Galaxy125/Sig}}22:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
:So, a random chance of taking one or two AP? {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 20:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
::Random AP expenditures would get annoying.  I'd say just up the dump cost by 1 AP.  --{{User:Galaxy125/Sig}}22:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Could make a difference in a siege if the annoying rotters get dumped first, or if reviving bodies don't get dumped so an extra AP cost sounds quite reasonable. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 20:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Interesting idea, if you notice someone has rezz'd a PK'r or a greifer, it could save you alot of bother and AP but if you are the griefer this will annoy you, but still the dumping of a known body does make sense--[[User:Mightyoak|mo ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ]] 21:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
:interesting, yeah... mu jury is out on it, though. i think it's been suggested before. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 02:52, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
::So, should It be taken to voting? 1 AP, as with normal dumping..? {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 00:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
