Remove Source Salts And Wine {On The Basis Of Drug Association}

[GorgonKain 355]

There is a close association with Source Salt to the dangerous real life drug, known as bath salts. This drug has claimed the lives of many, and I am sad to see that Wurm encourages the ingestion of "magic salt" to provide powers. The game claims to fight against the use of all drugs (apparently regardless of regional legality), and yet there is clear association here. 

 

I also ask that all use of alcohol be removed, as it encourages underage drinking, and is a leading cause of death in most countries in the world. Also, public displays of drunkenness should be warned/banned, just as publicly claiming you are "high" is. Those under the influence of alcohol in chat are much more likely to break rules, and cause general disorder. 

 

This post is semi-satirical, however I feel that if one "drug association" is warm/mute/ban worthy, so should all be treated with the same rules. 

 

Honorable Mentions For Other Drug Associations To Ingame Items:

 

The cooking or refinement of Source into usable salts.

Wemp, obliviously

Sleep Powders

For those reading just the OP, the root of this suggestion is all or none. The idea that one drug association is any more or less dangerous than another is simply ridiculous to me. 

 

Added For Relevance: If I were to talk about having to take my Ritalin or Adderall prescriptions (which I have seen in public chats) I would not be warned. Both of these amphetamine-based prescriptions are down-right banned in Sweden and carry the same penalty as a refined street drug version. This is just one example of the serious discrimination happening here. 

 

Because there is obvious confusion here, let me restate in the OP, that this is satirical in nature. This is the only way I can feasibly get my point across without breaking forums rules. My issue is that one suggestive material is favored over others, and certain regionally legal medications are still worthy of a warn/mute/ban while others that are clearly illegal in the originating country of the game servers, are not.

Better remove cotton as well, negative connotations towards the 'past times' xD

Sorry, too busy with my wemp to care.

Obivously, no salt or wine needed for severe braindamage.

How about removing the ability to ride a horse/cart/wagon if you drink wine?

Wurm should remove monsters, it promotes killing people in real life.

Yes, obviously this is encouraging drinking and driving. How in the world did I miss this gross oversight!

Another not-so-hidden drug association. They continue to build!

We should remove weapons from the game, as they are the biggest leading cause of death ever.

In a way, yes. Wurm is very selective about what it considers to be "drug association". There are many instances of extreme correlations between real life drug use and in game items. However, the moment someone mentions certain regionally legal, natural medications,  the yellow text / mutes come out. 

 

None or all of these should be allowed imo, not just what certain CM's feel is okay at the time.

You get an "irresponsible driver" achievement so its encouraged!

It was just sherbet! I swear!

If this is serious...*facepalm*

 

If not...possible the best troll I've seen in a while.

don't forget wemp, paper and lighters (steel&flint)

Rave at his deed? Someone bring the drinks.

[Westfold 14]

In a way, yes. Wurm is very selective about what it considers to be "drug association".

 

You mix up "Wurm" as a whole with little, poor minded people who got no joy and nothing to say in real life.

Sadly, these people seem to be the chosen ones for the CM job in Wurm.

5) You may not discuss, post items or links relating to religion, pornography, illegal drugs or the abuse of such drugs, 'warez', copyright infringement and 'pirated' materials (including illegal torrents) or any other illegal activity.

 

This is the currently stated rule. However, the regional legality of the "drug" is taken into account in some instances, and not in others.

For example, alcohol is illegal in many places, and considered to be a dangerous drug. However, this does not fall under this rule for reasons that are beyond me.

 

All or nothing please. 

 

The "violent games cause violent behavior" argument is perfectly suited to this. Talking about the use of certain regionally legal "drugs" is not going to go make you go out and use them.
