Suggestion description

• [23:28] <crazy death cultist #1> You break the wine bottle over Jerry2's head for 3 damage. They die.
• [23:31] <crazy death cultist #2> if you attack someone with a wine bottle, do their clothes become wine-stained?

No... But they bloody well should!  :)

This suggestion is pretty simple... Like hitting someone with a fuel can, or how your clothes get blood-spattered in combat, when you successfully hit with a target with a beer or wine bottle, there is 50% chance of staining their clothes with the beverage. A message would then appear in the target's profile description to this effect.

The different kinds of stains would "stack", for example you could have a "blook-soaked and beer-stained blue shirt". There would be different levels "stainage", much like blood-stained clothes.

The article of clothing stained would be random, with those covering larger body parts having a higher % chance of getting stained, i.e. coats, pants, shirts etc. would be most likely to get stained. And ties... ties ALWAYS get wine on them, sigh. The exact %ages would be decided by Kevan.

The success %age is higher than with fuel tanks (i.e., 50%) on purpose -- because bottles are one-shot attacks. Also, note that zombies can attack with bottles!

   Well... No... This doesn't allow you to set people on fire: that's not mentioned as an effect, therefore it ain't part of the suggestion. Sorry. --WanYao 12:10, 9 August 2008 (BST)

20. Keep - YES. Because I want to smash a bottle of champagne over a Pker and watch them cringe as the alcohol enters their knife wounds through their already bloodied shirts. Now, if we can only light them on fire as well... --Private Mark 21:16, 10 August 2008 (BST)

23. Keep - YES! I must have evidence of my recent bar brawls. --Maisy Queen of the Ziggurats 21:01, 13 August 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Percentages are too high; I think wine and beer staining should happen only if the target was killed or takes considerable damage from said wine/beer bottle. It takes a lot of effort to get to the only building in town which has certain clothes and keep them clean, and you make it just too easy to get them ruined. --Aeon17x 14:38, 9 August 2008 (BST)

   It's a zombie apocalypse and you're worried about keeping your clothes clean?!?! Totally out-of-genre, can I vote "spam" on a vote? :P I'm pretty sure you don't need to be killed to get blood stains, only injured. This is the same. And, if I'm wrong, then I'd support lowering the %ages and/or making it only when you die. However, most clothing types can be found quite easily; those that can't, well, make that special effort just like the rest of us do if we get blood on our kilts or pimp hats. --WanYao 15:59, 9 August 2008 (BST)

2. Kill - Partly as Aeon17x; I'm really anal about having clean clothes. And you DO have to be killed in order to stain your clothing. Also, this suggestion would not enhance my personal gameplay in any way.  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  17:23, 9 August 2008 (BST)
3. Kill - Waste of time. While you're at it why not just have a random chance each day to get ketchup stains on your shirt. Or make up some bathroom rules with chance to get stains on your pants. Even if it passed, you know it's just to going to take up space for all eternity and never get put in.--Zombie Lord 22:13, 9 August 2008 (BST)
4. Kill - Its a nifty suggestion I admit, but I think Kevan's time would be better spent on more relevant things then fluff. --Karec 23:35, 9 August 2008 (BST)
5. Kill - Almost swayed but I just can't get over how goddamn useless I feel it is. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:10, 10 August 2008 (BST)

   It's flavour, mate. LOLz and stuff. Nothing more, nothing less. Dig? --WanYao 10:20, 10 August 2008 (BST)

   Yeah, I know. But... I just can't see me missing this at all if it got killed. nevertheless, I wouldn't be angered or disappointed, or surprised if it passes. Its just how I feel. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:38, 11 August 2008 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters 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. 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. "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 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. 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. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. 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). 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. 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. 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:20080809 Beer and Wine Stains). 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.
