Playing Cards (Highest Possible Priority Ever, Totally Game Breaking)

Post by Ping » 19 May 2017, 01:33

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The deck of cards has 54 cards in the deck, with 2 jokers, instead of a normal 52 card deck which can be used to play card games such as blackjack and poker. The suggestion is to remove the jokers from the deck to make playing card games easier.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It will make playing card games easier (for the one person in the world that plays card games) and will overall save us from the apocalypse.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It should be as simple as finding the code for cards, and then removing the two useless cards from the deck. Some problems with doing this include the following:
-Actually finding the code for cards in the first place, because I'm 90% sure that the majority of the server doesn't even know cards exist
-Finding the willpower and cause to give even the tiniest of shits about the cards and card games played by about 0.5% of the population.
-Finding someway to not have this suggestion closed immediately.

+1 neat, but still won't play blackjack with you.
Careless, as usual.

A very important and necessary change. The game is essentially incomplete without it.

We already have card decks, just add them around the canteens somewhere and make them attachable to the helmet +1

Your comment confuses me.

Also, I swear to god Ping, this is either the greatest shitpost I've ever seen in the suggestions forum or by far the most interesting tweak that needed tweaking.

Anywho...+1 just because you actually use them for playing games and actually RP with them. Probably leading to a more enjoyable round and immersion.

There's already card decks and playing cards in the code.

We just don't have them anywhere and I don't know if you can slip them onto your helmet, vietnam style.

Did you actually read the post? Also, we do have them in the rec area. I usually take them.
