*Suggestion* Make Bone Piles Curseable

Problem: Someone dies before you are old enough to say their name (especially bad when griefer teams give each other very long and difficult first names). They may have earned a curse but you can't curse them anymore. Another problem: Being a mother and having babies do /DIE on you over and over. It wastes your food and your time. Plus for me at least, it often causes me to crash the game. This has gotten me killed to animals as well as starving before I can log back in. I don't want to be forced to birth players that spam the /DIE command. and currently I have more babies die than choose to live. I'm tired of such players messing up my game. But you can't curse a player that kills themselves in less than a few seconds.

You should be able to stand over a grave and use the curse command to still issue a curse to the player who lived that life. Perhaps better is you should be able to curse a defiled bone pile. That way it takes extra effort, but is still possible to curse the dead who deserve it. As far as I know, there is no reason to make a defiled bone pile. This would give that a use.

Thank you.

Gotta defile them to be able to transport baskets of bones in a cart. Non-defiled bones in a basket can't be placed in carts.

But yeah, it'd be very convenient having the ability to curse recently-deceased bone piles.

Babies that aren't named can be cursed with the "Curse my baby" phrase which curses your latest baby alive or dead. I do think it's a little annoying to only have five minutes to curse someone who has died but at the very least the curse range has been raised from 32 to 200 (this is about the distance someone stabbed can travel before dying to their wound.) This change makes it so you aren't trying to play corpse hide and seek since a corpse stays bloody (aka can't be moved) for just as long as the duration lasts for someone to be cursed after death.

Fug, are you saying that you can curse someone after death, because I thought you could not. I hope you're right!

You can. Up to 5 minutes after someone has died. For named players you have to be within 200 tiles of their corpse and say the full name "Curse John Doe." and for babies who have died you can curse the most recent with the "Curse my baby." phrase.

I believe you can also stand on their bone pile and say "Curse you", can't you?

"Curse you." targets the closest living player.

Learn this has changed my life! From now on, all curses are reserved for SID babies. Maybe soon I'll hardly have babies anymore at all! I don't mind stopping what I'm doing for a player that wants to live, but the little jerks who just waste your time are getting cursed. Especially any that are runners because they die and hurt mother's genetic score.

Shoooot, I've been accidentally cursing players I didn't want to curse then. Thanks for letting me know, fug!
