Alert! Alert!

[Doublepalli]

So, you're sitting in a tent. Resting up. You know, getting some shelter from the sun. You can't keep watch outside of your tent because you're sitting. So you check outside periodically with look. Then you fail to check outside for a minute or two, and poof, your mount and maybe all of your stuff is gone!


Idea: When in a tent, be alerted when something enters the room (unless stealthed) because lets be honest, we'd hear someone trekking through sand and what not, or a big old beetle, inix, w/e approaching.

[Inks]

You can watch outside while sitting just not while resting, for future ref.

Other than that I would be happy with this change if it was fairly non-specific as to what approaches. In the mean time simply sit and watch out instead of rest.

[RogueGunslinger]

I like this idea.

[evilcabbage]

a stake object, to be used with a stake command, that allows you to stake a mount to the ground with varying levels of skill.

this will facilitate protection of mounts by preventing anyone from unhitching the mount without first cutting the rope, which takes a few seconds.

enough seconds for someone paying attention to stand, leave, and scream at you.

or shoot a poison arrow at you from inside.

one or the other.

[WanderingOoze]

Oh, I like the mount-hitching idea.

[evilcabbage]

alternatively, when someone goes to steal your mount, you can

get stake

stake elf

You take the bone stake, and slam it into the elf's heart!

The elf collapses, exploding into ashes!

Nah. If you're gonna rest in a tent you should be vulnerable. Tradeoffs.

[Hauwke]

Honestly, If you arent silly (see traveling with a tent while alone because reasons) Then you shouldnt have this issue. But hey guess what ic it does at least you still have the tent

I like it that if you're resting in your tent, someone can come take all your stuff. If you're sitting watching out, then it's a nonissue. It makes sense to me. Resting is really taking a load off, and people already go days and days without sleeping because it's too vulnerable.

[evilcabbage]

even if you're watching out, it takes all of five seconds to run into a room, hitch a mount, stand that mount, and run out of the room. if you mount the mount, it's even less time. n;mount beetle;n n n n n e e e n n e n e n game set match my friend.

I don't see anything wrong with this.

Only thing wrong with it is the lack of individual mounts. I can't spot you with MY beetle later on and make you pay.

There's the hunt skill...

It's been a while, but doesn't the mount remain hitched to you even while you are inside a tent?

A delay to hitch might prevent the twink grab-and-steal, but I like to think this is just part of the dangers of going out into desert elf lands.

[Desertman]

I like it if it is tied to the listen skill.

[Raptor_Dan]

It'd be cool if things inside a tent could be heard outside, and visa verse.

Or maybe: You notice: blah blah

Or one of those things where it's like your on a balcony, and get the message "Outside of the tent, the blah blah grabs your shit and runs"

Jacking people's mounts is a time-honored Armageddon tradition.

It would be a damn shame to see it go.

[Dunetrade55]

Mount jacker spotted, give back my beetle you piece of poo.

[evilcabbage]

but can we all get behind "stake elf"?

[Dunetrade55]

but can we all get behind "stake elf"?

No, because staking elves from behind doesn't work. Then they get pissy and suddenly a whole tribe is trying to kill you.

[Akariel]

You can currently WATCH OUT while resting, all while the mount you left outside the tent remains hitched. The listen skill will allow you to hear things going on outside.

Tents are already too useful in my opinion.

[evilcabbage]

so the mount is hitched, what good does that do?

i believe you can actually hitch a mount if the mount is hitched from inside a tent, and steal it anyways.

[th3kaiser]

That is not correct. If a mount is hitched, you cannot simply hitch it and take it from whomever is inside the tent. I'm on the tents are fine side of this.
