Current state of ME!

Post by Lylena » Sun Sep 23, 2012 8:10 am

Wouldn't it be cool if we could see how hungry/thirsty we are, or what position (sitting, standing, kneeling) we're in when we typed WORTH in addition to how far we have TNL and how much coin we have on hand adds up to?

Might show like this:

You may advance to the next level!
You're broke.
You are currently standing.
You are a mite peckish.
You are DYING of THIRST!
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I die, you are forgiven. If I live, I will kill you."
Such is the rule of honor.

Oh yeah, a brilliant suggestion.

The help suggests the hunger/thirst thing should appear in the score sheet, but it doesn't.

I'd like this as well. The reference in the help file is outdated -from before the score sheet was changed to show numbers, I believe.

Add drunk status too.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

I give this a hearty plus one. When travelling and trying to light a cigarette and kicking the radio, sometimes it's hard to see a hunger note until the next one pops up, and there's no way to check as it stands. I'd like to have a way to check.

Definitely in addition. Very good to know if you're drunk or not!

Not so much knowing you're drunk but how drunk and how much time remains based on that. Sort of like the old score system.

I like this.

I think this is a great suggestion as well. I've removed the outdated reference to this information in SCORE, thanks for pointing that out. Does it make any sense to also indicate if you are incubating a sickness, in the form
You worry you might be coming down with something
or somesuch? (If your WIS is low, you might also be prone to hypochondriac misestimations on this count...)

That would also be an excellent idea, Raona! Filth fever catches up to people pretty quickly these days with all the newcomers, an indicator that you might get sick at some point in time would be good, too. Sometimes a character will get it and sometimes not, but an idea of whether or not they get it would be a good thing.

I'm also in favor of the curveball that could add RP where there might not normally be. "I haven't really been anywhere dangerous but I'm feeling a little...off..."

Though I imagine that might only be applicable to humans/humanytypes? Unless orcs can get colds, too...hard to imagine an orc thinking they might be sick.

Maybe it could be tied to 'Aid' as well, as it's the medical-type skill.
