This may be the nerd coming out in me, but this is not quite true. Sugary liquids inhibit aerobic (oxygen-synthesizing) bacterial growth. Aerobic bacteria are typically the type of microorganisms that make people sick. High concentrations of sugar only allows for anaerobic (non oxygen-synthesizing) microorganism growth, which -- interestingly enough -- can create alcohol as a by-product through a process called fermentation. Anaerobic microorganisms are pretty much harmless (eg: yeast). This is typically how alcoholic beverages are made. Sugar is the main ingredient, yeast is added, which is ultimately converted to alcohol through anaerobic pathways. Jams, jellies and preserves also rely on high concentrations of sugar to inhibit bacterial growth.

Seriously, is this a thing now? The one line "No" response? Let's try to be a bit more constructive.

If you're going to criticize, trying being constructive.

I see your perspective on this point, but you gotta think, you'd have people taping aiming dots to their screen. No matter of cheat detection will stop that. It's better to have everybody on the same playing field.

Penises. Penises everywhere. I'm totally down with text-based diaries. But actual drawings? I cannot think of one example where that would be desirable, other than the lawls. And that would get old quick after the 100th crude drawing of a penis. Screenshots as Polaroid inserts, however, I could get behind.

I don't think it should be used for identifying bandits, because looting bodies is something non-bandits will obviously do. But it could lead to some interesting conversations -- "why do you have blood on your hands?" "I found a body, I swear!" Anything to make the game more dynamic and interesting gets my vote.

Seconded. At the very least, in the meantime, the image outside the scope could be blurred.

Traditional plastic soda bottles hold 20oz of liquid. Traditional aluminum cans hold 12oz of liquid. Heck, even 1 liter bottles are roughly ~34 ounces. I don't understand how you can suggest cramming 48 ounces of liquid into a 20 ounce bottle.

Clever idea. I like it. Why not.

Cool discussion about this on reddit, started by the OP, which adds to the discussion: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1xu8se/severe_weather_requiring_shelter/

This has been discussed at length on reddit, with a response by rocket as to why it's not feasible: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1x5nw5/suggestion_the_ability_to_riselower_the_hood_on/

This really adds to the discussion /s You know, it's not your opinion that matters. It's your justification for your opinion that matters.

I just want to add my two cents that this is a survival horror simulator, not a barbie dress-up simulator. Adding more clothing is always a huge plus. I just think that the selection should have at least some semblance of being survival related.

Jolly good idea, chap On a side note, I read your entire post in a british accent

If loot respawned at a faster rate, on higher-pop servers, that would make sense.
