Dang, This Generator Is Heavy!

| Type: | Improvement |
| Scope: | Survivors/Generators |
| Description: | This proposal is to make generator possession and transportation more realistic and consistent with actual human capabilities.
A portable generator as depicted in the items page, Portable Generator, would be the approximately correct size and wattage capacity to accomplish what generators do in UD. A generator that size will typically weigh about 91 kg (200 lbs). They are very heavy and unwieldy, and a single man has difficulty maneuvering and transporting one. It is simply not possible for one person to have more than one of these under his control. A man cannot transport more than one of these, and certainly cannot run with one, let alone climb stairs or navigate wooden bridges constructed between buildings. I propose the following:
These proposed changes will make the time and effort required to repair and power buildings more realistic. The anticipated argument is that UD need not be 100% consistent with reality, which is true. However, one of the touchstones of suggestion evaluation is that a suggestion not grant players any superhuman capacities in the post-apocalyptic world that they would not have had in a pre-apocalyptic world. As the encumbrance and movement currently stand, that is exactly what we have. Survivors are being ascribed a strength and capability which simply does not exist in "the real world". A previous suggester has already acknowledged the currently unrealistic situation (he described it as an "absurdity") and suggested a fix: Rename Generator. His suggested fix is to change the name "Generator" to "Generator Parts." This would remove the problem of generator transport, as he is suggesting that survivors are simply finding and transporting parts which are then used to repair broken generators that remain in place. This suggestion just sidesteps the issue. If you are carrying enough parts to be able to repair any damage done to any generator, you are then essentially carrying a generator. In addition, current scripting describes the generator as broken "beyond repair." |

THUD

| Type: | Flavor |
| Scope: | All players |
| Description: | This is a pure flavor suggestion. I propose a script addition to accompany the suicidal leap of a player returning to the exalted state of BARHAH.

Discussion (THUD)
Batshit Insane
Lunatics
The Lunatics comprise the main body of the group. Lunatics coordinate with respect to target, not time. They are usually piling into buildings already opened by a strike team, or leapfrogging the strike teams to a new target. The Lunatics have their own Lunatic Target Thread on the Batshit Insane private forum. Gleefully homicidal tendencies are encouraged, if not actually required.
Strike Teams
BI currently has two strike teams: Midnight Snack Attack! (MSA), and Zombie Escort Service (ZES). Strikes are coordinated through Batshit Insane's IRC channel (see below for more information).
