DANG IT YOU'VE GIVEN ME IDEAS

Quote from Drewfro

When I saw this in the forum, I was sure it was a joke thread. But now that I read it, it's not all that bad of an idea. Though, just a suggestion... why not use the long-held-back Pigman mob as the store owner, instead of using wither skellies?

Either way, support! :3

And I'm glad that part was removed, the idea is, admittedly, better without it, but it's still a step too far away even without it.

I did not mean to imply I thought you wanted it, I was merely providing an answer.
I understand and respect your judgement x2 combo.

How so? Minecraft was already a fantasy game long before either of those dimensions were added, what with zombies and skeletons, I don't see how either dimension breaks the game's theme.

If theme is what you're getting at as opposed to laws of the minecraft world, (which is what I was under the impression of what you were referring to) then yes, that is correct.

You're right, they can't destroy your defenses once you've protected your defenses from... that's because at that point you've protected your defenses from them. At that point virtually no mob can hurt you, anyway, but they are still necessary; to not have a destructive enemy in a game about environmental manipulation would be a huge waste of potential, it'd be like not having an airborne enemy in a game about flying.

They can't destroy your defenses if you put yourself in a dirt hut.

I touched on this at the end of my post where you basically dodged the question, but I'll reiterate: can you give some examples of existing features that drastically break the game's atmosphere? I can't think of any barring joke features that were removed the next week, and I've already explained in detail in my first post and in this one why creepers aren't a good example, so don't use them.

NPC villages, if you want a direct example.

The fact that there is a society of sapient beings in minecraft breaks the games atmosphere of being lost alone and having to create the world around you.

No, but you do need sentience, and wither skeletons don't seem to have that.

Are you really trying to use emotional appeal? Really? It's a line of code assigned to a model, it doesn't have dreams. Yes, I get that that was a joke, but it's annoying and tacky to read through. Anyway, what would honestly make you think that's their dream? Yes, it might be, there might also be a giant, naturally formed teacup orbiting the Sun as well, but there's no reason to assume it. This justification of it being their lifelong dream is like a brooding antihero in a bad action movie suddenly running happily through a field of flowers in one scene, for no reason, and then never bringing it up again.
Like I said in my first post, I could get behind this if it was a pigman selling potions in a cave or tent, that would fit with the theme, since pigmen have sentience and considering the environment anything bigger would be too hard for them to set up.

Emotional appeal.
Really.
That's what you think that is.
Nope.
Nope nope nope nope nope.
It was sarcasm. You can blame homestuck for my tendency to do that.

TT: File's clean as a whistle.
TT: A whistle that overcame a major substance abuse problem. Trying to get its life back on track.
TT: The whistle is holding down a steady job now. It's taking things one day at a time.
TT: Eat a dinner off that whistle.

As well, the word you were looking for is "sapience", as even spiders are sentient. Regardless, one does not simply question the logic behind a video game. They are skeletons. They should be incapable of both thought and movement, and yet they do both. They wield bows. Unless you'd like to tell me that skeletons are smarter than wither skeletons, (take a moment and think about that action) they seem to possess enough intelligence to understand transactions. Monkeys can, and they can't wield bows.

I'm really not sure what the point of these two statements are. I know we're talking about Minecraft, you don't have to remind me.

You were talking about the purpose of nether fortresses and the ridiculousness of a coffee shop inside of a nether fortress respectively. Those were my rebuttals.

Not real life, but Notch himself said everything is supposed to make sense. Anyway, I'm yet to see some bizarre addition along these lines, and simply telling me Notch added some doesn't help. Provide examples, then maybe I'll see how this fits in, but simply asserting it does without explaining why, with evidence, doesn't prove anything.

Make sense within the minecraft world. Really, withers inexplicable liking coffee and being civil enough to perform transactions in regards to it is bizarre, but in a game where villagers have inexplicably large noses, there are abandoned strongholds with no explanation of its origin, destructive green kamikazes are afraid of harmless cats, and zombie pigmen exist, it just seems to match.

The "Lava Java" itself (Concept. Doesn't have to look like this)

The Wither Skellington "Coffee" Sales-skelleton

And trading with him

Nether Brick Mugs being used in place of Water Bottles on a Brewing Stand

The Mug, Lava Java made Potion, and player made Potion

Mug


Lava Java Potion of Healing


Player made Potion of Healing

(Zora Inspired shop in fortresses) (Like the zora shop in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time )

For "atmosphere", play this while viewing the following images:

Just walking through a nether fortress when you see a light (On the right corridor). "What's that?"


"Is this what I think it is...?"



"Why, it's a Lava Java™ sales post!"


"All my 'on the go potion needs'™ are solved!"

This doesn't really make much sense.

I like this RP. I like the story. But somthing is telling me to quit.

First, I'm getting little or no respect from you guys. You will ignore my IC posts and will continue on RPing with others. The only thing that has been said to Wilson when he was involved with Matt's dragon slaying stuff was "Hi". Same goes with Boberts little adventure with the fake spider and the living tree. He just went talking to Sai and left Wilson alone in the rain in the middle of nowhere!

Second, this whole OOC thread is becoming crap. I live to go somewhere for an hour. I come back and 10 pages have gone by when I get back. Most of it is Ryiks stupid home stuck advertisements. What's so great about saying "page claim"? You don't earn anything, you don't get an award, so why post random crap to say it!

There is a 95% chance that I will quit before next Friday.
