I guess some new features for the elderly is needed to make it interesting. Wheelchairs? Crutches? Medications? Retirement homes? Remember some old people stay fit and suddenly drop dead at 95. Why some people are that lucky and some are not, depends on genetic and envirmonmental factors. For example if a person smokes a lot of tobacco and just eat meat its more likely that he dies earlier. These are just ideas ofcourse. Anyone have any suggestion for interesting features for old people?

And if he doesn't smoke, doesn't eat meat, and only eats veggies, then he's a half-witted, hybrid driving , narcissistic, self-loathing hippie faggot that falls for even the simplest of propaganda and gets weaker everyday, just like IRL.

Yeah, there should be drawbacks for vegetarism aswell. They will be deficient of some vitamins and amino acids.

I have a slightly altered idea about how this could work. Instead of death or losing stats, how about a slider that gives/buffs differnt stats or abilities that are small that depend on the number of months somone has played?

So for month 1 you get nothing(maybe a curior buff)
for month 2 you get a minimal FED reductiion similar to wine
for month 3.... idk but you get the idea

Yes let's create more reasons for new people to be at a disadvantage and not want to play the game.

I'm not saying give op powers just cuase you player start from the begin. Just minor powers that flow with the game. None of the power should be really be inherintly better than another. The reason I said nothing for the first month is so that people wouldn't abuse the system with alts.

The slider start at a small curio buff that gradually moves to a small FED buff. Or they could make it random each month.

No deaths, it would just ruin the game! What would be the point of leveling?
