New Mechanic Suggestion.

[CrossShade 4]

I suggest (for reasons of realism) that after drinking / eating the player cannot swim for more than 30 minutes, any attempt to do so, will result in vomiting, lowering the dehydration/hunger levels to lower than their original state.

Feedback?

Why is this necessary?

I think losing all your stuff is enough punishment for swimming. I promise you if i had to flee from someone with a gun or a zombie I would swim while eating a sandwich if I had to.

[esaciar 1]

That's a myth though.

[mrpiipe 1]

There's already a big punishment for swimming and is loosing your items. Also you should have posted this in the suggestions section...

Not a really great suggestion, considering most people only eat like 1 can of beans when they have to it's a zombie apocalypse so rationing your food seems like the more logical thing to do rather than gorge as much as you can down then decide to go for a swim. I don't know about you but one can of beans isn't a large enough meal to make me puke from swimming anyway.

If that happened in real life, okay.

But that does not happen.

If you believe in that crap, the next thing they should be adding to dayZ is UFO's.

For reasons of realism nothing happens when you eat and drink and go swimming within 30 minutes.

I cannot realise my sarcastic post got taken as serious, it was a dig at those people who make suggestions under the pretence of realism without any thought to it.

I really thought I had made it obvious enough, sorry that I didn't concentrate more effort into this.

dude it was exactly the right amount of obvious.

Original post made me smile

Thread + second one made me laugh

Naturally we'd love to assume all posts of this nature are sarcastic but everyone has seen enough "serious" suggestions along these lines to fear otherwise.

That's why I always put [sarcasm] and [/sarcasm] around my smartass posts. ;)

I thought this was an old wives' tale..

While we're at it, rocket should implement horrific colon damage as a result of a diet based entirely on beans and soda

[esaciar 1]

Yeah, yeah.

Course it was a sarcastic parody...

Rocket should add a mechanic where your keyboard stabs you in the hand every time you die.
