70175, Let's discuss something other than assassins
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I present the following character idea:

* People came in a boat and burned my village.
* Boats are evil!
* Boats are made from corpses of trees. Defilers!
* Boats are dangerous. Yes they are, ever seen what canoewhack does to people?
* Relying on boats makes you weak!
* Boats are STOLEN FROM THE GODS!

In short, let's kill everyone who uses a boat. And that Nicholas guy on the docks? He must burn.

Bonus points for being a centaur.

I think we should consider the nature of boats as part of this. What do they do? They enable a means of travel that is otherwise unavailable for the majority of races. It also, effectively, pushes your weight on top of the water. Did anyone ask what the water wanted? Did anyone ever consider that only certain races are allowed to move through water?

It’s a real problem in CF, and I hope you’ll be an activist about it and fix this impressively problematic issue.

Last I checked, we weren’t born with boats. That really does make them unnatural.

That'll be an Ish follower who will write a hate book on boats.
70177, Thank you for giving me a role idea

Detect Boat - Let's you see if someone has a boat.

Know Boat - target power, tells you what kind of boat they have.

Grapeshot - destroys sail boats with sling propelled grape seeds

Whack Canoe - destroys canoes with a solid whack

Yak Attack - destroys kayaks with yak spittle based acid

Raft Shaft - Shafts anyone with a raft, impale affect


70346, Whack canoe

FYI - Canoewhack is a skill wielded by the IMMs that will kill you.

But, if these skills were all geared toward destroying boats, it would be fun because the you would have to choose between a very light boat that can easily be destroyed or a very heavy one than cannot. Of course, these would only be deathly to villagers.

Also, does the war barge that cost 50 gold have a purpose?
70351, FYI

Don't you ####ing FYI me about something I was FYIng about before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye. Canoewhack was the joke! Gosh darnit.
70353, I don't think you understand...
Posted by Saagkri on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Canoe whack isn't a joke. It's a real skill used by IMMs to kill things. I've seen it. FYI. :D
70356, You win this round

Matrik owes you a penny.
70357, I don't think YOU understand.
Posted by Matrik- on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I know that. That's why I made the skill Whack Canoe...

Stop FYIng me on things I was FYIng before you were born.
70362, This reminds me of a story.

A gal I know who worked at barns and noble often in the music/movies section had an encounter with a customer that I found quite funny. A man came in asking for the mel brooks film history of the world part ONE. The gal told him there is not part one, and that's part of the joke. "I get the joke I just want to see part one now that I've seen part two." She told him three more times and he had the same reaction every time, so she asked a male employee to explain it to him. For some reason it stuck that time.

Murphy would have been steaming. ;)
70363, Are you sure you didn't get it backwards?

There is no part II. There is part I.
70368, Oop! You're right Murphy! Thanks!

It's been so long since I saw it and this incident happened over ten years ago. Gotta keep up on my history ;)

It was B.B. King's 50th birthday (FYI for Matrik: he's a legendary American blue's musician), so his wife decided to do something special for him. She went to a tattoo parlor and told the artist that she wanted the letter 'B' on each of her butt cheeks. When BB got home that night, his wife met him at the door and said "Happy birthday honey! Look what I did", dropped her pants and bent over so he could see. Mr. King said "Who the hell's Bob?"
70366, I hate you.
Posted by Matrik- on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I hate you so much. FYI.

:D
70364, Impossible. You've only been around for a couple years. (n/t)

What about worn boats?
Captain's hat, earring, sleeves, boots...
There are actually quite a few options that enable water walking, which are classified as a boat when you look at them.
70350, Perfect.

I've increased the value of those items. Now if you loot them from someone they will delete because you full boated them.
