Tedium, a Feature

[Onep]

Obviously, they'll just need to implement a hidden and dynamic Tedium intensity feature akin to the Fate system. Bots depend on consistency and repetition to be efficient. It would be a rather ingenious way to counteract it.

I was discussing this amazing feature with my exceptional village mates. And we thought that beer and wine could be used to temporarily relieve the stresses of Tedium! But overuse of the these resources would lead to a build up of negative modifiers.
This would create an incentive for people to brew beer and ferment wine besides simply being a larpy alchoholic. Tying into to the wounds system would be quite easy, if your Hearthling becomes too inundated with alcohol, they could experience a hangover similar to the concussion debuff.

can we add kush comas?

This idea will encourage alt use, if alts are expendable I don't care if they kill themselves

Maybe use real characters. Just a thought.

Why would I if they might commit suicide?

I do, but this 'feature' would force me not to

I just want people to have an authentic agricultural experience, you know? You all fear immersion.

Also here's a philosogical conundrum since you're all talking about death; is it worse to believe in an afterlife and fear that there is only oblivion, or to believe there is no afterlife and fear divine retribution?

I think this premise can be a bad one with these choice. I do not think there can be an afterlife. I do not fear divine retribution because there is no divinity for making retribution on me. Whether my lacking of fear only can be through some ignorance of actual reality is still to be determined, though.

Congratulations on deciding to be outside of the stated conditions. Obviously you would have to have fear for the stated conditions to apply to you. The question was about irrational fears, because there is no tenable reason to believe in an afterlife or vindictive divinity. However, a devout adherent may have doubt, and an atheist may fear that damnation was real after all. If you prefer, the question can be "who is the greater fool?"

I see. You have ask me with some generality and not for the specific me. In this case, I think then that the greatest fool is the one who can be wrong at the end.

But really, I think this cannot be a question with an answer. This much is obvious. None of the parameters can be known. Both men are believing what they do, and can a man be foolish for his beliefs when these beliefs are of the unknowable nature? I do not think to say ''yes'' is a fair judgement of this. Men should not fear things they cannot be controlling. So perhaps the one with the greatest fear is the one as the greatest fool.

Wow, this COULD also make psyche a better trait.
farm psyche 2 farm less suicide

Psyche is already the best stat in the game.

Agreed.

Thank you brother Onep brother Dddd and brother Arvin for your valiant efforts towards promoting the enforcement of bans on botting and the discouragement of alts. Sometimes a little bit of hyperbole and the absurd is what one needs to see reality in a more clear light. I applaud your efforts and hope they bear fruit.
