Sleeping

[The_Black_Wizard]

I realised in arm.mud that sleeping stuff is not realistic... I watch Pc's and NpC walking around the streets, drinking, chatting in the bars for days and they dont sleep.
I am sure there are some players who use the "sleep" comment not until their hp's go down to a critical point.
Isnt that unrealistic?
players must understand that "resting" couldnt not be an alternative for "sleeping".
I suggest arm.mud must force pc's to sleep. (Loosing movement, stun, even Hp, increase of hunger, thirst)

This arguement, about sleeping, has been around a time or two before. Best  answer, in the past, is most of us don't want to spend alot of time RP'ing sleep. If just ain't much fun.

[The_Black_Wizard]

i've never think of it
so wise.

I don't think that forced downtime is what Armageddon needs, especially with a small and spread out playerbase relative to MMO's that do such a thing.

I think I recall reading somewhere that there -are- some concequences if you go on and on and on without sleep? Not especially severe ones, and it takes a -lot- of going before they kick in. Or, maybe I imagined reading that, like I imagined that movie....

[Armaddict]

I think you imagined it.

[InsertCleverNameHere]

Possible.. Nobody's answering the movie thing either. So I'm just nuts I guess. If you see me in Arm, I'm the one who thinks they're riding the irridescent, winged rhino and not a drab yellow kank... Run. Quickly.

To play devil's advocate, though, taking a ten or fifteen minute break from Arm while your character sleeps would certainly be good on your back, eyes, diet, significant other, etc...

Um, I can back this up.  I periodically go to sleep IG so that I can hit the bathroom, get some food, head out for a smoke...or the like.  It's good for you occasionally.  Just don't interrupt an  important scene.

I will usually sleep regularily if I have a reasonably safe non-virtual place to sleep.  If not I usually assume my PC goes home to sleep while I'm logged out, and sleep very rarely.  Call me crazy, but I don't want to buy new pants every day.

I believe it was established (but am not positive) that PCs/V/NPCs would not sleep everyday, because the days are substantially shorter then real-life, so alot of players do their sleeping in their virtual existance. Like after you've been awake for three days you then go to sleep and do it all off-line.
