blackosprey's suggestion thread

[Guest blackosprey]

First of all, I have several ideas that I'm kicking around in my head, but I'll leave several of them until later.

Cooking and fishing aboard boats and ships.

Please tell me at least some of you have had the dream of grabbing a small sail boat, a fishing rod, some wood for a fire, and never coming back until your boat starts rotting through. Catching and cooking fish while sailing the seven seas, crossing the open oceans to new lands, and generally having an amazing time. If you got enough people that were dedicated, you could even have a floating village made up of a caravel or three. Please?! According to a friend of mine, this used to be possible too, before they took it out. I would love it if this was implemented again, or at least a rational explanation of why not.

By the way, sorry if reserving posts is against the rules, just delete the post.

Reserved for my engineering idea, it's still in the process. Steampunk anyone? And if that doesn't fit into the team's wishes, it should still be a possibility for a player to be the insane inventor type. This could be an introduction to new stuff, and incorporate a research thing where players spend time developing something, then the devs incorporate it into the game. Such as a crossbow, or better war machines. Actually, this could be the skill required for the war machines that are being requested. Like I mentioned below, this is off the top of my head, so ignore it if you want.

Already have something else for this post.

I noticed that a Wurm background story is needed. Three ideas here, but this is all off of the top of my head, so laugh if you want.

- A writing contest. That's pretty self explanatory right?

- The Wurm team could give me an outline of what they want, and a friend an I could co-write it.

- I might be able to work something in as a prequel to the book my friend is writing.

Running rivers would be good for shipping.

I didn't get the first post.. We already have boats, and we can fish from them, if that's what you're suggesting..

And are you talking about lighting a fire in the boat?

I like steampunk, but it wouldn't make sense to have it in a game without steam engines.

[Guest blackosprey]

Really? Maybe I misunderstood the person. But it wouldn't be lighting a fire in a boat, it would be a small stove or something, perhaps caravels would have a galley. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_(kitchen))

As for the steam punk thing, you posted while I was changing that post.
