Tobacco

[Colane]

How about u can buy tobbaco or even sigarets at the tavern or some designated shop, just for fun.

U can add a job and a plant to this,

ex. : sigar rollers could collect tobacco plants and dry them and u can use ur rolling skill to make sigars or sigarets, or even use ur pipe-crafting skill, to make pipes, and sell these, price according to the size and quality off the product.

The pipe u smoke with or the size of sigars could be a status symbol in the game, since a fine crafted pipe takes a lot of work and craftmanschip and therfore costs a lot ...

promoting drug use...hmmm I wonder what complaints are going to arise from this idea.

[Moogie]

Aww nice wolfie, Kuiper.


I don\'t think, and certainly don\'t hope, that any such promotion of drugs or harmful substances will be created in the PlaneShift world. Doing things like that in video games only helps to encourage kids to copy the things they see in real life, brainwashing children into thinking taking/smoking drugs is a \"cool\" thing to do.

Enough people in this world are dying of cancer, heart/lung/liver disease and related illnesses, without the careless advertising of these horrible things in U-rated games making more young people go out and slowly kill themselves.

/me starts imagining mad sponsorship money from Marlboro and Winston....


\"OK we\'ll do it!\"

[Kuiper7986]

No! Its supposed to be a mean wolf Moogie, not sweet a cuddly, my master plan has been disrupted, hehe. I wonder what happens if a cat and dog mate, not that I\'m saying I want to mate with you because, no but I mean you posted a pic of yourself and you looked pretty, but that doesn\'t mean I love you or anything, but I don\'t hate you because I really don\'t know you personally and you know...

Oh okay!! So you don\'t know, forget I said anything, no rumors!!!

back to the main topic, Venge if it were really up to you, would you really want endorsements from tobacco companies?

[Shadowfax]

They have lots of money. You could make smoking harmful to your character and thus teach kids the dangers of smoking. I doubt though the tobacco company would sponsor you then.

[dfryer]

I\'m up for a little pipe-weed.  I mean, if we\'re going to avoid the tobacco thing because it has harmful effects in real life, we may as well ditch the tavern, and the swords, and the bad guys

[Kuiper7986]

Just because there might not be tobacco, you don\'t have to act nieve and say,\"I mean, if we\'re going to avoid the tobacco thing because it has harmful effects in real life, we may as well ditch the tavern, and the swords, and the bad guys.\"

[Monketh]

Ya know, if smoking has a slightly negative effect of some sort, certain over-protective persons might not complain...
But since this is such a touchy subject, any implementation of tabacco or pipe-weed ought to wait a good while.

[Arthureloi]

I liked the idea and i hope its implemented in the game. Really good, and no harm, cuz u have to smoke many years for the harm to occour!

[Kuiper7986]

okay you smoke a long time. Sometimes you character can get strokes and your character dies for no reason. You get emphysema in which your character can\'t run for long periods and can only run for 5 seconds bursts every 10 minutes. Ya that would be nice, I\'d like to see that happen to someone. And if you don\'t smoke for a long time your character doesn\'t move at all until it gets a cigarette. Ya very smart...

I have to agree with you, Mogura.

Certainly, smoking,drugs,and tobacco could encourage others to take them in real life as well. That will lead their future a bad one. Over 45 percent of the world dies because of drugs,cigarettes,and alcohol. We wouldn\'t want to INCREASE that number now,would we?

[Xordan]

At least have water pipes.... but tobbaco would be nice....

hmm.... does this mean u want kada\'s tavern to close down??? I mean, she sells beer and wine.... and loads of people die every year due to over-drinking.... we don\'t want to be promoting that do we??? Or does she only sell orange juice?
