Title: Obesity and Fitness
Post by Chrysalis on 09/21/03 at 23:32:47
I just had this great idea for the game.
Okay, say for instance you have a character that you simply are too lazy to train. After a while that character would soon become overweight ...and therefore have to suffer consequences of being hungry and thirsty all the time. Other consequences would be that the character's stamina would take much longer to regenerate, and the strength and self-esteem (Charisma) would become lower.
For example "She is strong, wise, fast, and obese".

Now, for those who train often, their character would be considered to be very fit. Their stamina, and stats would be to their highest, therefore the character would be at it's strongest and a great fighter.
For example "She looks strong, wise, fast, and fit."

This isn't a way to make everyone mad, it's just something to encourage you to train more.  :)

So your suggesting that this will have a negative affect on your characters stats?

Title: Re: Obesity and Fitness

It will only have a negative effect if the person choses to not take care of their character.

ALSO ...This will only take effect to the character when they are logged on. For instance, if some of you actually have lives  ;) and are never able to log on ...it won't effect you. BUT, if are logged on, and simply sit there and do nothing for long periods of time, then it will take effect.

Which would be impossible. Elves are never fat...

So, Would pking, and killing monsters make your characters more fit?

Also, would running from one town to another have a positive effect on fitness?

If you got fat, would you're armor stop fitting? And you would have to run around naked, or go to some clothing store for fat people?

lol You guys kill me ..:
1.) Yes, killing monsters and other things would be considered training. Any type of killing things, but they have to meet up to your level.

2.) lol No, running back and forth from town to town is not considered training.

3.) Just because you would be fat does not mean your armor would deteriorate (in the game anyway), it just means you would be exhausted alot, and very weak.

Can there be a clothing store for fat people anyway? No armor rating on any of it, but can only be worn by fat people.

I have a feeling that would get too expensive, but I don't see why not..

this idea is just madness, NO!

Title: Re: Obesity and Fitness
Post by Chrysalis on 09/21/03 at 23:57:02
JLH c'mon! It's a great idea!

Title: Re: Obesity and Fitness
Post by Omniscient on 09/21/03 at 23:59:06
Seriously, its a good idea. It would encourage people to actually train instead of logging on and sitting there and doing nothing.

Title: Re: Obesity and Fitness
Post by Chrysalis on 09/21/03 at 23:59:57
Exactly. And it adds a little fun and challenge to the game too.

Oh great, all my crits would be extremely obese since I rarely get to train anymore. Lol I can just imagine it, "Tidal is a Female Human Adept Paladin. She looks strong, wise, fast, and severely obese from sitting on her bum and chatting instead of training."  ;D

  So, this is going to be a Text-Based Tomagachi Game?

Post by VampyreDarla on 09/22/03 at 23:59:14
Awwwee I want a muumuu!  Seeing as I'd need one from sitting my crit on one square all day.   What if my crit gets so fat it breaks the square and gets stuck?!?!

Edit: typos  ;D

ROFL!

This is the most....absurd idea i've ever heard. I mean come on, when i get a level 30 i normally don't train them after they hit 250mil! I just sit and chat with them or leave them logged on whilst i train my other alts.

*shakes head* some ideas now-a-days.

Proteus would weigh over 900 pounds; he’d lay in the sauna all day with a tarp draped over him, trying to beam things within arms reach.. Disgruntled clannies would complain about the smell and all the scorch marks. One day he would collapse the floor beneath him and end up falling into the clan vault to live the rest of his life snacking off all the roast beef and gnarled roots that clannies put in there, whipping his face with tattered journals and robes... putting use to all those "useful" items that weed there way in there. Dying a lonely death made even worse by the torture of sleeping on a dozen wedding bouquets that he had fashioned into a pillow.
