LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Holy crap, this idea is f***ing fantastic. Not viable, but still fantastic.

I like several of your suggestions, namely the basebuilding (to a limited extent), crafting, moding, and the trading idea; however, I think the "REVISED HEALTH, STATUS & WOUNDING SYSTEM" is a bit excessive, especially considering that the last thing a player wants to do is maintain his/her pixelated body. Demarcating foods into sugars and carbohydrates is superfluous (last thing we want to do follow an Atkins diet; besides, Hall already made it clear the game's not focused on survival). The vital organs idea is also redundant, getting shot anywhere on the body with a large-caliber bullet would outright kill someone. The loss of limbs may as well be left out as it's essentially a killshot to amputate any of the appendages--arguably even more detrimental than being shot in the gut. If your ideas were implemented, we would get a game like Unreal World, a single player survival game that's intensely taxing on the player to begin with, but then you would have to deal with survivalism and players that are out to hunt you. The basebuilding idea should definitely be explored, but the problem is that this game is fundamentally nomadic--players are encouraged to explore and interact, not hole up somewhere. Trading should be limited, bases should be easily destroyed, and more emphasis should be placed on mobile structures such as tents, huts, traps, etc. Other minors things that probably wouldn't turn out so well is the earplug idea as well as the degrading boot idea. Boots would be easy to come by, so degrading them would be pretty pointless in itself; earplugs to prevent deafness would be extremely annoying (imagine having to wear them to block out gun shots but conversely being unable to hear your friends). It might as well be that every item in the game degrades with use, this way players are forced to continually scavenge and hunt for more items. So there's my two cents, everything else is fine, thanks for the suggestions!
