Natural Disasters

[Myomoto]

It would be cool if illneses such as cold and flu would spread from one player to another so an epedemic(sp?) could start... hmm.. we need a spell of "the black death"

[Monkeyboy_McGee]

Bile has similar diseases, i think, although some of them aren't very effective or some don't work, or something. Ogma also has a disease i think (?) which slows you right down, although thats a bit lame because bile is meant to be the disease man. I bloody hate ogma, he has everything - poison (which slows and damages and affects defence), relics, diseases, low bless levels, and a really good avatar. It's silly =/

also...you guys are addicted to the word "archipelagos" aren't you XD

[Satrek2000]

That would be rabbies, which is effective as well as very virulent. Also, Bile has some nice atributes, too. Even Brigid has her advantages.

As for Archipelagos, the islands are just that in my personal view of GK, with settlers from far-away lands and such, but it's, as I said, just my interpretation.

Ohnoes teh bumb shlters plx cuz teh soviez r nukun us u c. Kk?

In other words, good luck surviving.

Ehm.. Ogma is the poison god, Bile is the death/undead's god ;O you get turned into an undead when you start worshipping him, that's why your resist turn undead falls and you won't have to eat so much.
And the poison on Ogma's cause wounds and weapon blessings slows you down because it drains str and dex ;O (but it drains your wis, int and con too) pretty powerfull stuff, it basicly messes up your AC, WC, max HP, your HP regen gets slower because of the damage you take, and you get slower too

I like the idea, it has been suggested before (just like LimelightPanda's several more non-kingdom islands idea), but as Chad said, do it good or don't do it.

Yeah, it's crazy.
And, well, poisoning's different to diseases. Poisoning's like *"k, i'll just slip some thallium into Myomoto's tea every day for a few weeks until his hair falls out and he eventually dies "*, and disease is like "OMFG THAT RAT BIT ME AND NOW MY SKIN'S BLACK AND SLIMY AND IM ...*dies*". I always imagined Bile as a disease man, not sure why really. He's got disease spells, and he's the "Harbringer of Death" so i just imagine him always being surrounded by a cloud of disease. Cloud of disease, practically death in a can XD

[Myomoto]

hmm... seeing i have started to loose hair i'm gonna stop drinking tea o.O

This is avery bad idea. Nothing in this world is reliable enough to do this. I remember when my computer crashed and i had to leave it in the repair shop for a little while, my houses fell down. Things are bad enough as it is without natural distasters destroying everything you have ever worked for. People invest too much in their houses to have them crushed under tornado's, everyone would just quit when everything they had was deleted and not only lose stefan money but would wreck the game.

I do like the ideas of natural distasters though, as long as they don't have an effect one houses. It would also be cool if a tornado out at sea could catch a boat and spin it in circles, or a hurricane could pick it up and drop it somewhere random.

I also think we could use a few more non-kingdom islands, but it would take a lot of time and work. I don't think there is anyone willing to put that much into it.

"Bob struggled against the gale, trying to gather up all his livestock before the storm arrived. He was just pushing the final cow into its shed, when all of a sudden, the shed was destroyed along with the cows inside. Bob poked the destroyer of his shed, as it stood there dripping. A rather bewildered sailor peeked his head out from over the side, and then fainted. Bob fainted too."

Poor cow...

[Satrek2000]

How about this - the house's appeareance would be affected, not it's constitution. So a storm would like rip away parts of thr thatching, or demolish a window. The next time the house is repaired, that would get fixed. Not really logical, but after all, we're talking graal here

I find it funny how I'm checking the suggestions forums right now and it seems like every suggestion I've had in the past has come to life. My idea for natural disasters was originally intended for G2k1, but it'd be cool on GK as well. And day/night/weather effects have been something I've been suggesting for a really long time. And, in case anyone is wondering, there actually IS a bubonic plague spell. "Cause Black Death". Bile teaches it.

My house is right next to water no go for meh pls.
