Proposal: The Non-Existent Third Status Line

Not a Proposal.  There is no rule that allows coppro to make a Proposal at this time.

Enact a new rule entitled “Status” reading:

Each @ has a Status Line, tracked in the GDNT. A Status Line is a list of zero or more of the following: Hallu, Hungry, Hungry!, Starving, Blind, Slime, Conf, or Stun. Hungry, Hungry!, and Starving are mutually exclusive.

If an @’s Status Line includes Hallu, that player is hallucinating. Likewise for Hungry and hungry, Hungry! and really hungry, Starving and starving, Blind and blind, Slime and slimed, Conf and confused, and Stun and stunned.

I wanted to implement hallucination, but decided to go for a full NetHack status instead, just for fun. I didn’t put some of the lethal ones in because they’re boring, but slime is cool. Also no encumberance. Things that are missing could be added later.

I do intend to implement at least hallucination if this passes, and probably even if it doesn’t.

The title is because this is the third attempt at this proposal, but there are only two status lines

for Looks good!  Hallucination will be great, but wait until we have more mechanics, so you know exactly how to implement it for maximum hilarity.
