Title: thoughts about overweight
Post by: Prolix on March 30, 2008, 06:47:39 pm: So, I am suffering DC for the next little while and filled my pack mining. Now I am overweight and waiting for my stats to return to normal. I am perforce sitting down, due to being unable to lift my pack. What I am wondering is does it seem logical that just sitting here I cannot regain my stamina lost from mining? I assume this is intended behavior but should it be considered a bug? Any other time you sit your recovery rate increases.

A corollary: Should the condition require a stand up command after the weight requirement is met, i.e. you drop something, or increase your capacity?

It does not appear that this question resonates with the user base but it may be too soon to say for sure.

May be you can propose other way to mark the fact that you passed through Death Realm.
Lucky we are that our statistics or items in inventory don't disappear definitively. \\o//

I was thinking it was more about Anumesa --I mean she's always asking "does this armor make me look fat?'

Joke threads such as this one (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=32047.0) about a guy apparently possessing a gravitational field (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7HPqi5uVeo); or this one (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=32086.0) about a guy who apparently smells bad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bna0B4CBCwY); are the perfect kind of place for letting loose.

Certainly, bad things happen to innocent bystanders when the ship hits the span, or however that saying goes.

I was apparently misunderstood in that I was not arguing against Dakkru's Curse as indeed there are other ways to be come over-encumbered (that is a better term than overweight ... yes?) a weakness spell or just picking up too much. It just seemed to me that if you are forced into a sitting position the weight is probably on the ground and you are not carrying it anymore. You do not expend any energy sitting on or beside it, therefor you ought to be able to recover stamina. OF course there is always the possibility the weight falls on top of you and not under you, so who is to say what should happen. I do think it could stand some embellishment.
