Storms and Hurricane Winds!

[Juniper Onyx]

I was inspired by the recent Hurricane Gustav here.

Is it possible to code a feature into the Game that would 'randomly' push characters outside during Lightning Storms or Heavy Rain?

The Graphics are really nice, but if characters were 'dragged' one or two tiles each 'cycle' during the storm, more would seek shelter rather than Powergaming outside. And it would represent the High Winds that usually come with storms like that.

Is this possible to code?

If not, then how about random trees getting knocked over instead?

Hmm....how about both?

This is interesting if can be coded, a few of the very nice RP situations I remember was during storms and fogs.

Another idea if can be coded, the fogs look very eerie and in the past, (with I assume a quest), skeleton, mummies, wolves etc. have come lurking from the fog. It would be nice if just occasionally, a spawn could coincide with a fog.

I know there was a good storm going on one time and my Char and two others were trying to go the graveyard just as it started. It seemed we were slowed by the wind as we walked along and we thought it was pretty cool...though im sure it was just a bit of lag from the storm...
But I like the idea !

When I imagin that my character who is at place x with 0 characters around is randomly pushed around I really start to dislike the idea.

Such things should be limited to GM quests.

OK, but it's for "Storms" only. Storms have high Winds. Pushing characters around would be realistic.

I'm sure the people of New Orleans hated being 'pushed' by winds and floods, but it's a consequence of a Hurricane.

Just thinking of IG consequences of being outside during storms. Some people just ignore them and keep chopping wood or killing Monsters.

But if you really don't like the idea, how about random trees falling over? Maybe one will hit one of those people?

Ow!

I love the idea.

I think Nitram's point is that it can be fun if there are other players around to roleplay with, but it is surely a nuisance for many players if there aren't any others around. Therefore it should be limited to GM quests.

I agree on that.

Proposal rejected.
