Boats and alcohol

Post by shubla »

Being drunk should result in the inability to swim, and a chance to flip the boat over, causing one to drown. Thousands of people die this way every year, so it's very realistic thing and should be added to the game to add immersion and warn people from doing it in RL.

Some other effects from drinking too much alcohol could also be added.

I've already observed some Russian neighbors making mistakes while playing this game drunk, do we really need a second layer of drunkeness for all the alcoholic Hearthlings? xD

I swam drunk many times and I've never drowned.

Drunk and sudden change in temperature may cause you to faint and drown in water, it doesn't have to be that deep, to your knee is enough. Most people who drown actually know how to swim, but are drunk.

I support this change if we add on localization of the game that alcohol makes the Irish, 'Mericans (Non city folk.), and Russians run/swim faster. Can confirm from how many times I've seen a bubba out swim beavers here while drunk enough to die of liver failure. You might not be able to stand up straight but damn if you can't float and dog paddle faster than a crack addict going after their next fix.

Quit letting companies make free shekels off of you; install UBlock today. Or better yet kick Google in the balls and install AdNauseam.

there should be some chance of a meteorite falling on a hearthling's head too (or their village, which would result in destruction of most of things in the area)

I support this idea.
There should be a chance that if a drunk player is riding a horse, the player could fall off the horse and die, like the equivalent of people dying from drunk driving.

Fun fact: horses can take incapacitated riders/drivers home as they usually know the route back. As long as they manage to stay horseback or sitting in the vehicle.

Posting this video as a proof that swimming and alcohol is no good! Same should happen to hearthlings!
