Idea: Two people on the same mount

[ShaLeah]

If an inix can carry a half-giant and their stuff, it should be able to carry two people.

Fuck logic! This is a fantasy world!

[Barsook]

Yes, but should affect speed and endurance.

That too.

[CodeMaster]

Sounds fun to me. But, to be fair, what if stable fees were multiplied by the carrying capacity of the animal?

That is a whole 'nother can of worms but I like that idea a lot (moar realizm).

I've always wished people rode erdlu's more often :3

Love the original idea and also things to encourage diversity in mount use like this.

At least they got rid of the kanks!

The best part of this would be the ability to load your dying but not dead buddy on board.

I think it's only containers that can be packed, bodies, furniture. It would likely require a ton of  coding to be able to pick up someone and then "pack" them. Maybe a separate lift command could work. Lift x, place x on inix. Which could um...automatically make them ride, even if unconscious? Maybe have an unconscious check, if checked it would show "dying best buddy is slung unconscious on the tubby inix" I know next to nothing about coding beyond an old high school class using Basic, so maybe that's not even possible.

You can already pack bodies.

[Saellyn]

You may want to reread what he said, that's exactly what he said can already be done. He suggested code for lifting unconscious/conscious people onto mounts.

Hmm, you're right. Misread.

[greasygemo]

I like the idea of not.. dragging your buddy behind you like a kill..

I've seen an echo on a mistarget that excited me so much once. But it turned out to be just a code hiccup. It went something like this.

>pack large inix

You pack the large, muscular man to an inix's back.

The large, muscular man OOC's: ...Did I just get strapped to your mount?

Me OOC's: Quiet. Luggage doesn't speak.

[armacc]

Maybe it could be made to work only with someone subdued? Which would maybe be cool for kidnappings too.

[RogueGunslinger]

Technically both should be possible. Strapping kidnapped people to them, or letting your buddy ride with you.

emote guides ~sunback to the edge of the shield wall, peering over a moment.

say (glancing to ~amos, with a wicked grin as he slides off the back of ~sunback) So, if all goes well, this will look like an unfortunate accident, any last words?

The muscly, muscled-muscle man says, eyes widening with fear, in mouth gagged with a bedraggled silk sash accented sirihish "Mrrrhhhmph!! Mrrmff Hhhhhh!"

say (after nodding cheerfully) Yeah, I like Murph too, real top notch sort, that.

emote gives ~sunback a firm thwack on the backside with the flat of his blade and watches as it moves off, tumbling from the shield wall, ~amos still firmly secured to ^sunback back.

say (peering over the edge) Ayep, Murph'll wanna hear about this, I can show him how it all went down, think he'll be thrilled to death with the view, too.

[KankWhisperer]

I want to mount all my tribe on one big sandworm then attack the walls of Allanak.

I just had some sweet Dune visuals run through my head. That'd be badass.

[KankWhisperer]

say (striding towards the massive (salt) sand worm) Mount up!

[RogueGunslinger]

The 2000's miniseries dune was really something to behold. I'm sure some people hate that that's my reference for it but damn.. The books are kind of boring and series super rocks.

It holds a special place in my heart with Battleship Troopers movie. Amazing Sci-fi when I was a kid.
