The Maypole

[martinuzz]

I would love the idea of seeing a maypole in the game.

It should be built from some blocks, and 10 ropes (yes, 100 threads)
It has a radius of effect about the size of the inner authority ring of a statue, maybe somewhat smaller.
It can only be built in a village

It would work as follows: whenever 4 village members 'dance' at the maypole, at the same time, the pole will give a random bonus to afflictable entities, within it's radius, for 24 hours.

some ideas for random bonuses to pick from when a maypole is used:
- Busy bees. Doubles honey / wax production
- Hasten crop growth. Crop growth time is reduced by 30%
- Livestock boost. Cattle / sheep will have one of their stats raised by 10
- Egg frenzy. Chickens will lay 2 eggs at a time instead of one
- Refreshing breeze. Stamina recovers much faster when standing still (4x as fast or so).

Multiple maypoles may be constructed in a village, but their radii should not be allowed to overlap.
The dance itself should start once the 4th person ricghtclicks the maypole, and take 1 or 2 minutes to complete. There should be some way of letting the player know which benefit was chhosen by the RNG.
You cannot dance again to gain another bonus for as long as the current benefit is active.

What's your thoughts on this, people?

This seems to be a good addition to the wyrd theme.

It would also make a good reason to live with neighbors
