20081206 Glowstick

Suggestion scope
People in dark buildings
Suggestion description
First, the statistics
- Encumberance: 2%
- Locations:
- Night Clubs (3% find rate when powered, 0% otherwise)
- Mall Sports Store (5% find rate when unpowered, +5% when powered, -3% when ruined)
When activated in a dark building, a glowstick allows you to see bodies and graffiti, and also gives a +10% attack hit percentage to all weapons you have (If the darkness attack percentage penalty for a weapon is below 10%, it will be restored to its full functionality). It does not effect search rates or anything else.
It also gives the same 10% hit bonus to all attacks against you by anyone else.
Glowsticks last for 6 hours and cannot be turned off.
Outside of a dark building, glowsticks have no effects.
When inside a dark building, all players will receive a notice when someone activates a glowstick, and the name/s of all those with active glowsticks will be listed on the page twice: once at the top with all the other names and again further down as Trenchman142, Googolheim and Example Page are holding glowsticks. Names here will not have the HP indicator if you have Diagnosis.
You cannot drop a glowstick once activated. It will be automatically dropped once it is used up.

Kill Votes
- Weak Kill - Admittedly, it's a heck of a lot better then the other Portable Light Suggestions that come through here, but I don't like the fact that it's only downside is that you also have a +10% chance of being hit, which can easily be circumvented by moving away from a dark building.
