Thread: Run from da po-leece, picture THAT!
^ Biggie Smalls, Runnin.
Good song.
I take a look at my toon. He resembles Biggie Smalls - My char is a huuuuuge black guy. That's what I get for eating too much and not enough exercise... and not enough sunblock
... or is it?
No, it's not! I just felt like being fat one day!
Even though I'mfat as sin, I can run up hills just as fast as the next non-scout.
Wait a sec.. that's not right... gravity doesn't work that way...
This gives me a great idea - Make it so fat people run slower!
More Weight = Less burst run, less terrain negotiation, and less speed in general (not permanent walk mode
)Here's the catch - Everyone would immediately think "Then everyone would have a charachter skinny as hell and ruin diversity".
The only way you'll remain skinny is if you dine healthily! Alas, no one does!
With the brand new food changes, people are loading food and drink bars up with food. Even though it digests, people don't gain any weight.
So, my theory is, make it so that food increases the weight of the charachter. It is measured by every time the food bar is full. The more times it is clocked in at full, the fatter you get!
How do we benefit from this? We benefit by using our advanced weight loss techniques (screw jogging and bikes [.. interesting concept for salons /cough]) like liposuction to reduce weight. The process would only take a few seconds time to remove the fat.
So, then, wouldn't people just want maxed out fat charachters so they can get slower? ID's would only have a limit to how fat they can make people. Food does the rest. Max ID fat (im big boned, damnit!)+ Max Food fat = Jabba fat. I wonder if you'd get a message "You can not enter this building because you're too freakin fat!" or "Your speeder is disabled because you're so fat you snapped it in half" or "you have to buy two shuttle tickets because your ass is so big it takes up two seats" (
) hehe.Here's another crazy thought, that isn't as realistic, but seems funny. Allow the liposuctioned fat to be collected in.. jars (gross). Make it so that you can use these jars of fat to .. well.. give fat to other people (or combine it with fiberplast to make.. you know :-D :-D). This concept could be applied with hair too.
Much thanks for the one star! I really appreciate such negativeness towards something constructive i put time into.
This has been brought up before, and pardon for the brevity of this reply as I have to leave for work in a moment.
We feel while this is a good idea in theory, it would lead to much resentment to ID's because it's "forced maintenance" and ID's aren't exactly easy to find, just the badge for it is. Burst run isn't as big as it used to be since vehicles and people would likely remain overweight because they grow tired of constantly visiting an ID for something nearly entirely aesthetic. While it would promote the use of Image Designers, it would literally be a chore for client and IDer, and not popular but by a few.
It is a well thought out post though so I'll give you a good rating for it.
