http://www.technollama.co.uk/insane-in-the-game-is-this-the-worst-software-patent-ever It reminds me of the Call of Cthulhu SAN mechanism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Cthulhu_%28role-playing_game%29#Gameplay I've just visited the hot tub (I'm Yarrel, #124200) and ordered a mojito. Here are the results, bear in mind that they were spread out over several minutes and nobody else was around at the time (it would be more fun interspersed with conversation and other actions): A mojito, eh? Alcoholic? [Enter `yes' or `no'] OK, but don't operate any heavy machinery til you're sober! You pick up your mojito and take a sip. You chug about half your mojito. You upend your mojito and finish it off. You begin to feel the effects of your mojito. Yarrel tries to slap himself and misses. Yarrel has a complex conversation with himself. Yarrel begins to pick up random objects and put them on his head. Yarrel stands up, sways, eyes himself warily and says, "I don't trust you!" Yarrel sways, and almost loses his balance. You recover from the effects of your mojito. The bar is a kid of the Generic Bar and Buffet(#71149), there are others like it around the MOO (see @kids #71149 )... _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
