Door Bells

Postby Vattic » Sun Jul 19, 2009 2:04 am

As a number of settlements both big and small have started walling themselves off completely I'd like to see some kind of door bell implemented so that visitors can announce their arrival without needing a local on their kin list. I imagine that any town with an idol would be allowed to build them within their area of influence and when rung they would be heard by anyone within the towns area of influence. Alternatively you could allow anyone to build them and make it so they can only be heard from within a certain radius.

I imagine you would have to make casts and pour the metal to make the bells, the bells could then be used in the construction of certain buildings. You could even make it so you select the note the bell chimes in.

Edit: There are of course other possible uses for bells.

Heh sounds cool. Needs a cooldown time though.
The ones who see things differently.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

I disagree, if someone is ringing the bell annoyingly, kill them! Perhaps ringing a bell should leave a "Rude Reek of Ringing". ;)

Also add bear poo harvesting, paper bags and matches as new features.

But to be serious, I like this suggestion.

If you just want to be crazy, run around dropping pinecones in the middle of many people, looks like shit.
