20081022 Organ Donor

Suggestion type
This is an addition of two new items and either an extension to the Surgery skill or the addition of a new skill in the same tree.

Suggestion scope
This skill will apply to Survivors, mostly those who act as medics.

Suggestion description

Please read fully before voting!

New Items: Donor Card, Kidney.

Skill Amends: Surgery.

It's all about as useful as being able to set zombies on fire, but I like it.


Items

Donor Card

  • Effects: Allows Surgeons to perform "Post Mortem" surgery sub-skill (as outlined blow) on carriers corpse.
  • Encumbrance: 1%.
  • Where can the item be found and what are it's search odds: Hospitals, 5% chance of finding.


Kidney

  • Effects: Recovers 15 Health to Survivor, can only be used on survivor with 15 Health or less. If survivor is on more than 15 Health they are too healthy to risk organ replacement. 5% Chance of killing Survivor during surgery instead of healing. Can not be used on the Surgeon carrying the Kidney - can't perform surgery on self.
  • Encumbrance: 1%.
  • Where can the item be found and what are it's search odds: Corpses, 20% chance of finding, viable corpses only - see below.
  • AP to use: 5 AP.


Post Mortem Skill Outline

  • Prerequisities: N/A
  • Location in Skill tree: Either this skill would be an addition to Surgery, or would come in as a new skill - "Coroner?" under or next to Surgeon in the skill tree.
  • Crossover skill: Survivor use only.
  • Cost in XP: standard 100xp or free if added to Surgery.
  • Cost in AP / How it's activated (full description):

A surgeon could do with a little something extra to do, and this would make dedicated medics lives a bit more interesting too, while not adding a massive advantage to anyone.

First: When there is a body around, someone with the Surgery skill would have a button appear that read "Check for Donor Card". This would take 1AP and would give the following possible results:

  • If body does not carry card, read: "This body has no Donor Card. You should respect their wishes." - no further options.

Have card options:

  • If body started life as a zombie, read: "This body is too deteriorated to have any possible organs of use." - no further options.
  • If body has skill "Flesh Rot", read: "You can see without touching that there's nothing you need in there!" - no further options.
  • If body is revivifying, read: "This person looks too gosh-darn healthy to cut up!" - no further options.
  • Otherwise, if body is dead survivor/zombie who started as a survivor, read: "You dig a faded Donor Card out of a pocket, and glancing over the body decide that it might be worth a closer look." - new options below.

Second: If you get the option to continue, a new option appears: "Perform Post Mortem". This would take 5AP and would give the following possible results:

  • 40% chance of reading: "In this poor light and without proper tools, you've done more harm than good and anything that might have been useful is now in too many pieces." - no further options.
  • 40% chance of reading: "Sadly this body has been lying in the heat too long and has deteriorated beyond any useful state." - no further options.
  • 20% chance of reading: "There be treasure in them there guts! That kidney looks to be in working condition, you can probably make use of that later!" - gain item "Kidney".

Post Mortem automatically makes 2 items of clothing bloodier.

Third: Use kidney as described in item description on some poor unfortunate survivor.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it! Vote away!


Voting Section

Voting Rules
Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped.
# justification ~~~~

Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.


Keep Votes

  1. Author Keep --McWaffle 10:20, 22 October 2008 (BST)
  2. I actually think this is a pretty decent idea. Gives medics more to do. --Alcatraz311 16:56, 22 October 2008 (BST)


Kill Votes


Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. Spam I can see you put a lot of thought into this, perhaps too much ;) Its far too complex for what is in effect an emergency operation to heal the badly wounded without a FAK. By requiring a kidney (wtf!) and donor card you are making it easier to just collect a FAK in the 1st place and save all the effort. If you really want to include advanced medical procedures I would suggest taking this down and going to the suggestion dev page instead. --Honestmistake 13:59, 22 October 2008 (BST)
    - honestly I just thought it was funny, I never really considered how much easier FAKs were. I still want an organ donor card even if it's useless! --McWaffle 14:19, 22 October 2008 (BST)
  2. Spam - This is just silly. --Midianian|T|DS|C:RCS| 14:38, 22 October 2008 (BST)
    - what, you think kidneys should have some kind of expiry date? --McWaffle 15:31, 22 October 2008 (BST)
  3. Humourous - I lol'ed. -- Cheese 14:43, 22 October 2008 (BST)
    - glad someone liked it anyway ;) --McWaffle 15:31, 22 October 2008 (BST)
  4. Spam/Humorous - I know it might seem somewhat perverse, but there's actually a separate section for humorous suggestions (you said yourself you've only done this because you thought it was funny), and (this is the perverse bit) it's actually considered vandalism of the wiki to post joke suggestions here. I think the reasoning goes like this: you (i.e. anyone) aren't that funny, therefore it's a waste of everyone's time. You know those people who send you joke forward emails that have lists of really funny things that aren't actually funny at all. You know how you want those people to just stop (breathing, maybe)? --Funt Solo QT Scotland flag.JPG 16:30, 22 October 2008 (BST)



Voting Rules
Current Suggestions

Advice to Suggesters

  1. Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so.
  2. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed.
  3. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes.

Advice to Voters

  1. You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated.
  2. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote.
  3. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion.
  4. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam).
  5. It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion.
  6. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found.
  7. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.
Rules for Discussions

Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20081022 Organ Donor). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes
  • Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit.
  • Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page.
  • Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions.
Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied.
  • Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion.
Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied.
  • Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}}
Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Invalid Votes
  • Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide.
  • X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others.
  • Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.
Comments
  • Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting.
  • Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.
All Caps

Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
