Plug-in Idea: Human TNT

[Riskae]

Why is there this crusade to prevent offensive images and ideas on kiwike I think a policy of acceptance is much more prudent that one of blatant ignorance. I mean offended by the idea of a suicide bomber? I don't think crash made this suggestion with any association in his mind to suicide bombers (or I didn't read it with one) and that it should be looked at in a more objective sense. Yes, granted that this is a stupid idea though the fact that this is a bad idea has nothing to do with the social rammifications of it. If your so offended by a cross, a pentagram, a swastica, or the mere similarity to a real life tragedy, then you have deeper problems than having been culturally wronged at some point. More on topic, I believe cerce summed up why this is a bad idea fairly well.

He didn't say it was offending. Just bad taste.

Precisely. Besides, not sure why you seem to be defending Crash. He only did it to have the first thread in this category.

I would say... no. All politics and current-day connections aside, it simply does not fit into 'medieval steampunk' in my book. Now, if we were to clarify that it does indeed fit into the server setting... there's still those politics and current-day connections that we put aside just a few seconds ago. Not to mention the fact that this one other plugin will cause just another little split-second of lag that all amounts up to one big WTF LAGSPIKE moment that everyone hates. I think that the plugins should be kept to a minimum to reduce lag and smooth over gameplay, but that we shouldn't just cease to add plugins and go vanilla. We just need to pick and choose what are the best ideas - and, to be quite frank, this is not what I would consider a good roleplaying idea for the time setting that we would be in.

Actually, this can fit pretty much any setting. Suicide bombers aren't a recent invention with the middle-east and crap like that. People have been blowing themselves up ever since explosives existed.
Lamp oil was one example - anarchists would sneak in either barrels or pouches and light themselves on fire with it in medieval times. The fact that we have gunpowder and TNT only makes it so much more possible in steampunk. As well, nitroglycerin was a HUGELY used substance for bombers in Latin America as early as the dawn of the industrial revolution.

All in all - give men explosives and they'll explode.

I condemned crash for a stupid idea however I was addressing more of the kiwike mentality as a whole. :/

Good call. I don't see this suggestion coming through anyway.
Better luck next time.
