#### Bladder metabolic - a way to add realism to Glitch

Inspired by a fellow Glitch's woes, I thought a nice way to bring more fun and realism into the game would be to introduce Bladder as a metabolic.
It would basically work like the Mood bar but in reverse - your Bladder fills up gradually as you're in the game, up until a certain point (say past 80% at 1% per 30 seconds) when your screen begins flashing bright neon yellow and it won't stop until you Relieve yourself. This can be done by finding a bush, tree, or hole to interact with and by choosing the Do Duty verb, which takes 1 minute and you can't do anything else while you do it. Perhaps in the future we can build toilets in our houses (reduces the time to Do Duty), or if the devs are feeling particularly adventurous, allow the action to be performed on other Glitches as a negative verb like Splank or Moon (but I could see how that might be too risqué...)
If you neglect your Bladder and allow it to fill up to 100%, your Glitch is affected by a debuff called Debilitating Embarrassment lasting 40 minutes that continually drains your mood and energy, and the only way to counter it is by logging out of the game. Therefore, this not only helps to reduce the number of AFKers in the game, but is also a nice way to get people to remember to step away from their computers from time to time while teaching people about the importance of hygiene and sanitation.
(EDIT: Too bad it's not April 1)

- Could probably work if this is an optional quest.
  {{ Then again, I'm wishing that there's a sort-of library where glitches can go to try out optional outrageous quests/levels, but that should be part of a new idea post so as not to derail this thread.... }}

- I dont want to be 'pissy', but i would be a 'wee' bit annoyed if this was added, though to 'relieve' the tension, I guess this would give an alternative use for paper! Oh, and don't be de'turd' from making suggestions, this is the idea forum after all!

  Haha, this was just a totally spontaneous joke that sprung to mind and I wanted to have some fun mocking such a ridiculous concept and see what other people could come up with. I hoped that by making the idea so far fetched no one would buy it. Alas, I think I wrote the post too seriously =p
