Jal Stuff

With the introduction of Jal, I had a multitude of ideas.

Squids
So, one resource we don't have is ink. Which doesn't make much sense with the quill and all.

What if there were squids in Jal? But the different thing is, they like to roughhouse. You can do the following actions:

Noogie - Upon selecting this action, you will have to press the left arrow and right arrow alternately in quick succession!

Arm Wrestle - Space, enter, or ctrl will appear on your screen. Mash that button like there's no tomorrow. Soon, it may change to a different one, which you'll have to switch to mash crazily as well.

Now, depending on your performance roughhousing with the squid, it may give you some ink for your time.

Seaweed

Pet
Harvest
???

Oysters

Maybe sometimes, it will be possible to find an oyster in a boot. The oyster may contain:
Nothing
Currants
Tiny Pearl
Shiny Pearl
Large Pearl
A bead! (SUPERMEGAULTRARAREOHMAH)
Seaweed

Marine Transmogrifier

Essentially, this is a machine that just takes pocket salmon and turns it into other marine life (not releasable) like:
Shrimp
Tilapia
Anchovies
Others?

How's all this sound to you guys?

    +1 for turning salmon into other marine life for food (think of the possibilities)
    Not too excited about the seaweed or oysters though. They feel kind of...expected. WE don't want TOO many cliches. I think if they are going to be implemented, they should have something that really sets them apart from their real world counterparts (can't think much right now though). I also think it would be good if there are more "meaningful" interactions with the animals (for example, some back story, anything beside simply clicking to  "pet", "feed,"
    "nibble," etc.) which is why I liked the squids idea. It sounds infinitely more interesting than a mere "resource".  Animals shouldn't always have to be "resource" pools.
    (On a side note, I think people should really be discussing how to interact the world of Ur rather than more resources. New resources are not quite the way to go, methinks. )

  • +1 for transmogrifer

    I am not keen on the other idea's to be honest - If they added sea weed and a transmogrifer there would be a huge demand for sushi in the game though I bet....

    Instead of oysters and that id like it better if the boot contained map pieces that when you gather all 3 of them a chest pops up for you at the bottom of the screen that might contain stuff or something like that.
