20080831 Body Dumping Paranoia in the Dark

Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 15:12, 31 August 2008 (BST)

Suggestion type
Mechanic change

Suggestion scope
Bodies in dark buildings

Suggestion description
The suggestion is quite simple:

• Dumping in dark buildings is successful only 25% of the time. Other times it gives the message You can't find any bodies in the dark.
• The "dump" button is always available in dark buildings.
• You still can't see the bodies when it's dark.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - It can't be that hard to find a body in the dark. --Jared^{Talk W! P!} 15:49, 31 August 2008 (BST)
2. Keep/Change - I'm voting for it because it's a pointless waste of AP. :P And it would be funny if due to all the paranoia, this button also has the chance to dump installed decorations randomly. --Aeon17x 17:38, 31 August 2008 (BST)
3. Keep - Author. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 17:55, 31 August 2008 (BST)

   Keep - Because that extra sence of paranoia will make things fun. --Armada Struck: no timestamp. --Funt Solo ^QT 19:56, 31 August 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill/change - horrible game-play and role-play. There's a button that allows you to attempt to dump a body that might not be there. That's a pointless waste of AP. Fair enough, first spend an AP to search for bodies, with a % to find one (and yes, there may be none there), and then spend an AP to dump one (if you found one) with a 100% chance of success. --Funt Solo ^QT 16:23, 31 August 2008 (BST)

   Pointless waste of AP is the point of this suggestion. Are you paranoid enough to spend large amounts of AP when there's nothing to indicate the presence of bodies, or do you trust that others have cleaned up after they killed someone? Good communication ("Dumped the body." / "Sorry guys, couldn't find the body, ran out of AP.") can also mitigate a part of the waste. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 17:55, 31 August 2008 (BST)

   Well, your perversion for painful game-play doesn't float my boat, and you don't seem to have understood my concern. A new player would be presented with a potentially pointless option, that advertises itself as a useful option. With my suggested change, they would understand that searching for a body is a separate task from dumping a body. Your pointless waste of AP remains, except under a system that is more transparent for the user. --Funt Solo ^QT 18:07, 31 August 2008 (BST)

2. Kill/Change - It was much better on the Talk:Suggestions page with the other ideas incorporated.--SirArgo ^Talk 16:44, 31 August 2008 (BST)

   Like I said there, it's not very believable that you would lose a body after tripping on it, and a chance to get information that there are bodies in the building only reduces the paranoia. Finding bodies while searching, attacking or barricading makes it all too easy to get rid of them while doing things you'd do anyway. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 17:55, 31 August 2008 (BST)

7. WOT. - I liked it better with some of the T:S stuff incorporated. And it needs moar illustrating, As Funt. Then again, It is only dark buildings.. _■^■ 21:38, 31 August 2008 (BST)

   See my reply to SirArgo. Or was it something else you wanted included in this? And what's there to illustrate? The dump button is always available in dark buildings, and pressing it has a 25% chance of dumping a body if there are any in the building. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 22:16, 31 August 2008 (BST)

8. KILL IT! It is pointless! Automatically assuming that you run into an unlit building and potentially finding a body....I am just going to say that they left the dump body for a reason. AP dump. Chaplain Drakon Macar 23:22, 31 August 2008 (BST)
9. Kill - I like it as is. Maybe overpowered, because the zombie is pretty much invincible in a dark building but all you really need is a generator, fuel and a few APs. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:30, 31 August 2008 (BST)
10. Kill - Bad for newbies. And also to the above; Because you don't want to get a generator you have to suffer dealing more than 2 damage per AP for a kill, congratulations you're now killing at what is the normal rate for a zombie. Zombies, on the other hand, get knocked down to the same hit rate they had completely unskilled. Yeah, Invincible, that's something like not being able to get killed in 80 AP right?--Karek^maps?! 14:15, 1 September 2008 (BST)
