sry about the double post, deleting the other one, when it said invalid session i thought that it didnt post cause i typed too long...
i had 4 hours to blow at work today... so this will most likely be long (took 5 pages in my lil notebook):
food hunger system. wonder why i thought of this one... "any time you get to the point of -*too hungry*- a mysterious gut truck HAPPENS to show up... and you spend almost 10 bucks just to set hunger to 10% intead of 0%"... gut truck being a meal on wheels pretty much... maybe even have one that drives around on streets and stops when someone gets near it.
sleep deprivation. you a late night person? then dont try having a job working 15 hours DURING THE DAY... -quote- i would get a different job if it didnt pay 2x what everything else around this lil town does -/quote-...
boredom. OCCASIONALLY you have to go to the arcade, bowling alley, mall, w/e for 1 hour (i think thats like 45 seconds in-game time)... buying a computer for your home of course would probably solve this problem a tad better (the more fun off the faster/more costly computer).
cabs. left you car someplace? work far from home and cant afford a car yet? call the cab... just hope you have the cash for it on you... -quote- you can wait for 20 minutes for my ride home, or go stand by that sign over there -/quote-
which would bring me to 'Banks'. you can deposit, withdraw, set up a savings account (that shouldnt mature for at least 10 minutes per rotation at around 3-7%), and borrow money from their "loan" department. as long as you have loaned money out: you cant deposit from 0 deposit (its not a free account), start a savings account (for you people trying to get free savings), and the interest would probably sit around 16% and have either same or slightly faster rate to increase.
open your own business. not only can your work in a business, but there are slots open in sim town for business ventures. everything from buying and selling houses(to people whenever and computers at variable timing with variable offers), a resteraunt(cook and serve yourself - or hire an employee that will cost you money and might not make it perfect every time), a store(where you get a command to open a dialog box to buy items, then notices telling them when they sold for x amount. this would prolly be semiheavy on the triggers - take at ur own risk {just remember I'm here to assist if you need})
or if you are the lazy sort, buy an already operating business... just remember because they already do everything automatically you have no options in it except to sell it (for same amount or less) and that they are QUITE expensive... try to make it take at least 30-45 minutes to be able to buy a business... this takes centuries.
side note: hit escape key to view resources and space bar to autolocate yourself. cant believe how many times I've gotten lost in a map like this.
only quest is life and liberty... as in live as best you can manage, and try not to get yourself jailed.
has anyone seen a hospital or fires in ANY loap? i havent, and i know I'd like to.
over the years (every 20 minutes or so) you house delapidates a bit, eventually it will need repairs... get use to it.
ever heard of a parking ticket? i hate it when my car sits too long... or a policeman sees my car on the grass...
ever heard of a service to wellbeing ticket? probably not - not many people have had one. heres and example:
"friend says <explicitly removed due to no foul language> and another friend take offence. 2nd friend goes to police station and makes a formal report of rudeness in public. 1st friend gets jail for a day, a misdemeanor mark on his record, and a small fine (that "small" fine is almost 125 bucks here"
did i mention the judge b4? well since I'm talking about courtrooms again lets just say that one player takes an item from another player. once again to the police station, couldnt have had it gone for too long, and it has to be taken from a place marked as your own (your house). BOOM, theft. you know the rest.
oh, and don't forget: "you mess with me you mess with my lawyer... lets not mention the people in the darker sections of town"
YaY my favorite topic after that: HITMEN. dont like someone? we'll take care of the problem... just dont get yourself cought or say my name. want in? I've got a noisy neighbor... you didnt see anything.
scared for your life? i know alot of people that put themselves in jail (by request at a police station) just to be away from me after they get me mad :twisted: ... in real life anyways... not like i really care what people online think
AMTGARD! my 2nd favorite past time... smacking people with padded weapons is great fun... and great practice...
every person is different, and as such when they get older and wiser(level/age change) they should have different abilities to suit such things.
gambling, i have a few family members that are addicted... they'll eventually stop though (when they run outta money)
just because its a game doesnt mean it cant be a game in the game... hell doesnt the arcade have an actual PLAYABLE minigame or 2?
multiple languages... i can get you tiny pics of 16th century druidic runes if you like... i highly doubt anyone here played ultima (not the new stuff) even 1/10th as long as i have...
already mentioned burglary, so lets try arson, assault and battery, public exposure(we gave you those clothes at the start for a reason you know), breaking and entering(who cares if you stole something... you owe me a door), destruction of private/public property(-quote-your honor, that stop sign no one listened to anyways. i needed it for advertisement. -the local drugdealer -/quote-, and extortion(that what you get for saying "give" "gold" and "or" in the same minute. doesnt matter what the truth is - remember justice is blind)
then again, you could always buy a REAL GOOD lawyer. then you just gotta hope that the 5% chance to pass it off to the judge/jury buy it. pro= if it works, you can sue. cons= if it doesnt, expect some more jail time.
ideas on items:
various foods- reduce hunger, but eventually decay
various medical supplies- heal, and this isnt an instant thing.
various drugs- like to see the screen do funny things? like to have temporary invulnerability?
(well.. you charactor might think he is...)
weapons- i really shouldnt have put this in, its kinda obvious, but everything from daggers, swords, bats, axes, staves, staffs, and pretty much everything else thats NORMALLY game or show related
guns- i say they are different from "weapons" due to the fact that THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS... thats why you have to have a licence to carry one... and MOST are illegal anyways. the best part about guns is depending on the type they can be upgraded. almost all guns can have silencers and cooling chambers built into them, increasing silence(radius police can hear) and safe firing rate(shoot too long and that thing WILL lock up on you). all guns can be modified with a laser pointer and tape...
Toy- popular with kids, great for shutting them up...then again sometimes has the opposite effect... at least its entertaining to them.
Household-Couches, Chairs, tables, tv's, gaming tables... or if your really poor i think someone left a tire and plyboard maybe some boxes around the corner... set them up as you see fit (buy then set them up in your house, gain control of them, and move them around)
tired of writing now, think I'll go play some WC3 and finish later
