Plug-in Idea: Human TNT

[Crashlander04]

You don't know that droid -.- I legitimately want this advantage.

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.
