Title: Train ticket - new way to live message
Post by: Who Killed Bambi on September 24, 2011, 06:15:03 pm
So u can buy train tickets around wasteland...
and now apple fail at my head and -
i bet it can be very usefull and good if players can live messages (like at holotapes) on train tickets, using character blood (hp) and switchbalde.
maybe 1-10 hp for live message ?

Is this a magic idea? Some kind of Desert Voodoo?

In Fallout 2, the Shaman could send Dream Messages, so maybe using Sympathy magic involving trains would be remotely close to canon.

Or just use radios.

nooooooooooooooo, i mean use some blood to write on ticket and drop it at base or tent or any other place.
maybe because holotape is not so easy to get, but anyway ur opinion have point  ;)
problem is radio cant be used for message for offline users  :D

What a silly idea. I like it.

It's so stupid. That's why i like it.
A great thing, for me, could be to make such writings on every item (Example: Inscribe on your shotgun something like "Mothafucka!")
Can you imagine being killed by a "Mothafucka"? Or by a "Sucker Sidearm"? Or by a "Fuck you idiot that stares at my gun"?
I definitely like this.

sounds good :D

anyway it can be used for rp guys, but i think idea with post office is really good ( if support fonline idea, same like my idea with train tickets :D )

anyway i cant find any other paper source in wasteland  :'(

i have any idea wai people like grommok trolling or think weapon with silly name can be fun :D

(anyway i think i find other idea ! :D if u kill in town for time *amount u become vilified forever by this town, then u can make stupid name for weapon, becouse u known like raider, and raiders is silly bullshit in fo2 :D )

and maybe for some good acting for npc u can become good lad, so u ll get acces to npc that can make name for ur weapon. or like *maria* in fo nv ( with own unique desing and bla bla )

I'm not trollin', i just said (in a trolly way) that i like that idea, and that might just be a small step toward equipment costumization. C'mon, i'll pay for having an armor with something like... i ran out of idea. Think that i said something intelligent, for the first time in my life.

I know what item you meant, but what was that about them being hard to get? Just buy them at the Followers' Library in the Boneyard. There is a cooldown you got to wait for until you can buy another, but you can't really say they hard to get.

No cooldown, as far i know.
There are for sale at about 200 caps apiece, if i'm not wrong. Still i like the idea.

Exacly! Just take a few min so that your can think of a few good names/inscription/messages for random PK. Something like "Sharpened Sex Toy" instead of Combat Knife! (References for roleplayers: Lil' Jesus Mordino [possible reference to Savatage's D T Jesus, the main character of Streets - A Rock Opera] has a knife, Lil' Jesus, that, stating to item description, has the word JESUS carved on it)

How about just letting us delete messages from archives after reading a tape.

Use science on them, it'll allow you to rewrite them.

I think he's talking about the Pipboy, not the actual holodisk. Once the message is recorded in your Pip-Boy, you can't delete it, afaik.

*quotes dishonest abe*

Yes, after you "use" a tape, you record the message in your pip-boy in "Archives" which you can't delete afaik.

Ah, yes he said "delete from archives". Sorry, my bad.

Sorry, but this is just retarded idea (imo). First, I had to read three times this suggestion to finaly decipher what is this suggestion about. Moreover, I think devs have more important things to do and develop than to make this "blood ritual magic nonsense".
Engraving some personnal text onto items was discussed countless of times and what I remember, the biggest concern was when someone would leave some smartass and offensive comment.
