Make Lassos Great Again!

YAHG · 2018-06-03 18:59:35

Lasso is underutilized and should be more useful around town

Let us lasso grown sheep, baby sheep, and other people. No need to lasso babies as we can
pick em up but I have seen kids on leaches out in public so.. it is weird but meh.. either way.

Lassoing sheep is nice cause we can move them to new pens or put em back into old ones.

Lassoing people is nice cause then we can talk it out with the town why we gonna kill this person etc.
instead of the dumb quick kill em before we can learn more it can be more chill. Trials are fucking
COOL AS SHIT and you all know you would remember your lives with trials in them <3

Lassoing isn't any WORSE than just stabbing people, they can always die instead of being in prison
which just puts it on even with being murdered.

Lasso is NOT a cheap item it is 8 Milks.. so yeah

tldr: YAHG is right! Buff Lasso!

I'm not immediately opposed to it.

Some questions:

Once you're lasso'd, how do you get out? Obviously other people, but is it a basic action (no item equipped)? Do you need a sharp stone?

What happens when you're lasso'd? Are you completely stopped, or can you move slowly (1 tile every 15 seconds, say)?

These are obviously basic questions, but I don't want to assume. : )

I assume you are like a horse or a cart. You drop items in hand and move with your captor.

I also assume you do not get out, you are captive. I GUESS if they tied you to a fence post there could be some sort of escape mechanism
but mostly thinking someone else has to free you feed you etc.

Comparing it to being killed it is still far less harsh even if you can't move. I assume you can still talk, this way we can have trials without
the defendants just running away or just killing them without figuring out what is up.

Also, if you are holding a lassoed person, you have to keep holding the item/them so you can't eat
either.. If you put it down it would like how it works with horse.

I like these two together, because the captor is essentially bound to the captive. It makes it difficult to use the lasso nefariously.
How about adding this
- When you are a captor, you can be fed like a baby (hand to mouth, not breastfeeding).

Then, both the captor and the captive depend on the populace, which I really like.

If the captor drops their "hold" on the captive, what happens to the lasso? Does it go on the ground or the captive has it or...
Sorry, if there's a mechanic already with horses, I don't know how it works.

YAHG · 2018-06-03 19:50:23

With horses you can lasso it and then either tie it to horizontal fence or let it free.

When you let it free you still have lasso, I see no reason to change this. Yeah, might as well be able to feed captive and captor.

Yeah, it is kind of weird you can't use a lasso on sheep. If you can tie a rope around their neck, why can't you use a lasso? A lasso should work just like a rope in the cases of capturing animals and stuff. And if you can lasso a baby, why can't you lasso an adult sheep?

I think this is a great idea.

Seems like this person knows what they are talking about.

If you don't make suggestion about lassos able to catch player/mouflon/sheep, I will do it. But nobody never listens to me, so it is better for you to do it

That is only because I am always right and also infallible and the most perfectest ever and all that Jazz.

That and in OHOL we are obviously naked barbarians and your name reminds us of Rome </3

Lassos aren’t cheap, especially after the update.

Maybe used to pull stones instead of carrying them for speed boost?

+1 for making lassos more useful

It would be SICK if horse carts lost speed if they had to carry real heavy stuff. Strapping a horse to a rock and making him drag it sounds like a good plan.

Horse stronk..

Maybe you need 2 lassos to lasso a person, 1 lasso to first tie their hands together (which they have 15 seconds to break out of) and then if you get a second lasso on them, and only then will they be captured. Or you need a lasso and a rope, with first lassoing them (making them unable to use their hands), and then having 15 seconds to tie their hands together with a rope (basically exchange their lasso for rope), and then you another 15 seconds to relasso them to their roped hands.

Needing just a lasso would make it too easy to grief. Not sure though whether they should be able to be tied to a fence or not.

Tane · 2018-06-05 08:09:57

Nah, make it so lasso's can hold someone and prevent them from quitting or dying without someone having to hold them. So whoever catches them can leave them in a spot to eat and it takes another player to release them.
I reckon that'd be far worse punishment for a griefer than just killing them.

YAHG · 2018-06-05 08:37:30

It isn't intended for punishment...

The purpose is to restrain them so they can't kill for a while you decide as a town what you are gonna do next.
