Food

Timestamp: Alexander Dawkins 16:59, 5 September 2009 (BST)
Type: New Item
Scope: Survivors
Description: Can be found in : Pubs; Clubs; Barracks; Hotels/Motels; Malls

Encumbrance: 2%


Effect: Heals 1 HP at the cost of 1 AP. Can only be used on oneself, disappears from one's inventory after a single use, and does not cure infections.

Can also be used as a weapon in the same way as a newspaper: It has a 100% chance of striking the target, however, it does 0 damage, rendering it useless as a real weapon. Attacking a human or zombie target with food will result in the message: You throw food at (the target). This is generally intended to be humourous. The attacker gains no experience and spends 1 AP. The food disappears from the attacker's inventory afterwards.

Keep Votes

  1. Keep - Author vote --Alexander Dawkins 17:11, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  2. Keep - I think it's a good idea, but you really didn't run it through Developing Suggestions; leaving it up for three hours does not an opportunity for abundant comprehensive analysis make. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 18:02, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  3. neutral/keep it's ok... just not that intresting and seems to similar to a lot of suggestions... --Gat 18:20, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  4. Keep - FOOD FIGHT!!! User:Armpit_Odor/sig 19:49, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  5. Keep - Does no evident harm, and might eventually be possible to expand upon to be useful. Adds flavor without being entirely stupid. And those worthless drunks in the clubs can finally have something to wash down with all those beers.--Necrofeelinya 03:26, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  6. Keep - I'm famished --Darth LumisT! A! E! SR 05:02, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  7. Megakeep - God Yes. Change - Make foodstains a part of clothing attire. I want to stain them fur coats with canned beans. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:08, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  8. Keep - If you get beer and that heals you you should get food which heals you. --Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 14:25, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  9. Keep - As DDR. --Matthewbluewars /New City\ 14:35, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  10. Keep - Why not? - --Bwii 02:45, 7 September 2009 (BST)
  11. Keep/Change - I like the aspect of food healing you, but kill the food fight aspect. - --Johnny Yossarian 05:54, 7 September 2009 (BST)
  12. Keep - There's beer and wine, so why not food?--Maps 17:45, 7 September 2009 (BST)
  13. Keep/Change - That's a good idea but i would replace found in barracks with found in storehouse --Brain Flakes 23:07, 7 September 2009 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Well, apparently, according to your poor shot at formatting, No-one can vote kill. Because your suggestion is utter nonsense, I'm going to anyway.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 17:51, 5 September 2009 (BST)
    Care to elaborate? --Alexander Dawkins 00:02, 6 September 2009 (BST)
    Because it's terrible?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 14:39, 6 September 2009 (BST)
    That's not hugely specific now is it? --Alexander Dawkins 15:41, 6 September 2009 (BST)
    No. It isn't.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 15:42, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  2. Kill - Unnecessary. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 18:11, 5 September 2009 (BST)
    Funny, actually I'd never really noticed how hitting people with newspapers was vital to the game. --Alexander Dawkins 00:02, 6 September 2009 (BST)
    That was Kevan decision not mine, stupid. I would have voted kill if the newspaper thing was brought up here aswell.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 16:12, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  3. Kill - Unnecessary, and I'd rather not confuse people by introducing an item that they might think is required to survive. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 19:46, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  4. Kill - As above--Orange Talk 20:01, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  5. Kill - While I think it would be fun to have a food fight or throw some at zombies, you don't really explain where you would find it in the Mall. Also, another idea to help get it passed would be a percentage chance of finding it. Other than those two things though, I'd still have to go with kill. I think it would be something that would hold it's fun for a couple of days before everyone would just tire of it and set their searches to not find any food. --DBHT 21:53, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  6. Kill - I do not see how food heals HP. Reduce hunger level, yes, but how does it cure cuts, bruises, gunshot wounds et cetra. How, tell me. HOW? --~Dr Frank (t) (DF) [P] (Sb) 09:35, 6 September 2009 (BST)
    Non-author re discussion moved to talk page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:59 6 September 2009 (BST)
  7. Kill - bland flavour -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:59 6 September 2009 (BST)
    So this is worse than newspapers? Huh? --Matthewbluewars /New City\ 00:28, 9 September 2009 (BST)
  8. Kill - Most of the food in Malton would be rotting or decomposing by this time. --Degree7 04:13, 7 September 2009 (BST)
  9. Kill - As above, too much time has passed to have any non-rotten food. Although somehow survivors haven't yet starved to death. --YoEleven 21:44, 7 September 2009 (BST)
    That's because when they starve, they die and feats upon the living. I guess everyone has regenerating human tissue. Unsigned non-author re struck. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 20:51, 8 September 2009 (BST)
  10. Kill/Change - As a gimmick food fight item, I like the idea, but as with #3 above, I think it would confuse new players. Maybe if it was called "rotten food" its lack of usefulness would be more obvious and the comedic factor would be more apparent. --Aichon 01:01, 9 September 2009 (BST)
  1. How about "used food"? --Matthewbluewars /New City\ 01:08, 9 September 2009 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. You know the words, sing along! "Spam! Spam! Spam! Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!" - --WanYao 20:52, 5 September 2009 (BST)
    Links or it didn't happen --Alexander Dawkins 00:02, 6 September 2009 (BST)
    You have no idea what you're doing, do you? --WanYao 16:16, 7 September 2009 (BST)
    Not a clue. --Alexander Dawkins 00:28, 8 September 2009 (BST)
  2. Canned Spam Nemesis645 12:35, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  3. Dupe. And another dupe. Also, you forget to say what food is that you can attack with it.--Pesatyel 07:05, 8 September z009 (BST)
  1. But Beer and Wine are not Food; different flavor. --Matthewbluewars /New City\ 01:08, 9 September 2009 (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:20090905 Food). 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.
