Minor suggestions

[Solaje]

A couple minor things occurred to me, so I thought I'd post them.

1) Bandaging bruises: I think this is awkward. It would be nice if there was some sort of cream or ointment you could rub into scrapes and bruises. It's really not a huge deal, but I do have funny images of my character sticking band-aids all over herself or getting wrapped up like a mummy. It seems excessive for bruises.

2) Teapots and brewed tea: Solaje wants an evil tea-party.

I'd also really like to see pipes and smokeable stuff like tobacco etc. I've seen descriptions where people are doing this, and I think it'd be great. No mechanical benefits would be needed, just roleplayable props..

I agree on the bandages feeling a little off putting a plain bandage on a wound with nothing on it, but it feels like if we were to create ointments to put on, aren't we just coding a downgrade version of a poultice? Where would you get said ointment? If you could make it yourself, now you are gathering and grinding herbs into a paste quite like a poultice? Just my thoughts there. Not sure on a specific suggestion.

I also agree that smoking is a fairly well-used system in other games i have played in the past and good for RP purposes, you could even give woodworkers another thing to carve from small and medium branches (unlesds you want to carve a large branch into a hookah! Digressing, cigars and pipes are often coveted by RP players in my experience.

Another thing that would be nice is to be able to put your name on a farm, I have seen stakes in the ground with names so you know who's mine you are about to enter, and was curious if something like this can be done for farmland, particularly when several player's farms are adjacent to each other, I don't want to go accidentally grab someone else's food if we are growing the same thing because I can't put it back. :(

I was thinking an ointment for light wounds sold at the infirmary. It wouldn't be mechanically different than a plain bandage, just better RP. Like I said, it's a really minor thing.

All of these ideas have been submitted before and are something we have spoken about. i do hope we rock the tea and tea pots. that would personally make me very happy.

Ointments and other healing methods beyond our simple bandage system are in the works. I don't think bandaging a bruise is necessarily bad, though. It seems weirder to me to rub something on a cut or bruise and not cover it with something (like a bandage) and leaving it exposed, but that may be a product of me being pampered by modern methods or something.

Brewing is planned, both for harder drinks as well as teas, but is realstically quite a ways off. Nelra has a teashop that you can use in the meantime - they dont' sell teapots, but they have teacups and tea, at least. I don't see Shadgard having a tea house or anything, but maybe Jirato could be convinced to put one in Haiban.

Thanks for considering all these little things. And thanks for letting us send riln in the mail, too. I just realized we can do that now. :)

Also, thay sentence made me think of Spongebob. "Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?"

[Solaje]

Fayne has potential to be an evil tea party lady, for sure. :)

Regarding ointments, you can track the status of this request here: https://trello.com/c/hYs2sPNt

Right now it's in planning, meaning additional investigation needs to be done before code work is started, but it's definitely something we want to do.
