Horseplay mode should happen in Fortress mode
« on: April 19, 2018, 07:30:16 am »
It should be via a [HORSEPLAY] tag, or perhaps [HORSEPLAY_CHILD].

The two creatures (eg cats) would fight harmlessly in horseplay mode until they are too tired, or become hungry.

...

Why?

I can see adding the ability for non-militia to occasionally spar harmlessly with each other. Children, animals, visitors, hunters whoever.
But why would you want a tag? What would it control? The ability for a creature to be able to playfully punch another without harming it? Surely anything can do that?
Indeed anything can do that right now. They just don't outside of arena.

I'm saying that it would just be a tag for modding and such. It doesn't make sense for everything to horseplay. (eg. vermin, some livestock)

Do horses engage in horseplay? Now I'm wondering about it.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?
