Report #971
Skillset: Hunting Skill: Campfire
 Org: Spiritsingers Status: Completed Dec 2012
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Campfires run on a random timer, sometimes lasting for a long time,
sometimes very short. This report seeks to rectify that and add a little
flavour.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add a new syntax to the Campfire skill, STOKE
 CAMPFIRE, which will allow the Hunter to add 1 wood
 commodity to a burning campfire to extend the
 campfire's timer.

Why should it take less wood to restore a campfire than to make a new one? If I
recall correctly (and I might not be!), the campfire's ambient messages suggest
when it's getting close to dying. Seems like it should either A) cost an amount
of wood relative to how long it has been burning, or B) adding 1 log only adds a
given amount of time, with multiple logs being able to be added. Kind of feel
like I like B a bit more. Thoughts?

I like Eventru's second idea, where you basically use the 1 wood comm to sustain
it for a time.

Eventru asked: "Why should it take less wood to restore a campfire than to make
a new one?" That is my experience. Starting a new fire has a bit (though perhaps
not much) waste, where ashes from previous fires tend to insulate and perhaps
make some latter fires a bit more efficient. *** That said, I prefer the pay as
you go method of adding a log at a time for additional duration.

Maybe some wood is damper, or burns less well than other wood, but generally a
predictable 'pay as you go' adding wood makes sesne
