Talk:Resting
Title
Should this maybe be under "rest" rather than "resting"? If not, please change relax to relaxing! Oh, and either way, make sure there are redirecting placeholders! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Narpas (talk • contribs) at 23:36, 20 June 2005 (Central Daylight Time).
- I changed relax to relaxing. As directed, redirecting placeholder in place! :) --Gymnosophist 21:33, 26 Jul 2005 (Central Daylight Time)
References
The adventure about the fat boy with an parody outfit is a play on the South Park episode 402 "The Tooth Fairy's Tats 2000". Cartman dressed up as the Tooth Fairy and stole kids teeth to trade them for money. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johny296 (talk • contribs) at 11:45, 5 July 2006 (CST).
- Seems a bit unlikely to me. Man != boy, accent seems more Jersey than Cartman, etc.--Dorf 03:34, 3 March 2007 (CST)
- Odd. I always thought it was a reference to the Fat Annoyed Guy in Futurama (many episodes, beginning with the second one) who:
- Talks like that (Adds the "s" to the end of most words, like "I don'ts wants noes troubles")
- Has random jobs (Theme park operator, construction worker, etc)
- What does everyone else think? --Jonzay 07:59, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
Possible Toothfairy Reference?

Dream Occurrences
Think that the rate of each dream's occurrence is worth spading?--Dorf 17:53, 2 March 2007 (CST)
- Everything is worth spading, IMHO. Go for it. --TheDotGamer 02:41, 3 March 2007 (CST)
- All right, I'll start when I can. I may have to set something up like there is for the Klaw game - at most spending 250 or so adventures simply RESTING might still be a bit inconclusive - especially if, God forbid, moons or signs or class or level alters anything. We'll need at least a few contributors, methinks. Write me in-game if you're interested (I haven't done much of this extensively before, but clicking and counting doesn't seem to be much in the way of hard work, just tedious).--Dorf 03:34, 3 March 2007 (CST)
- Has any spading been done on how housing affects dreaming? While not jotting down numbers, I don't think I got a single dream in a NewbieSport tent, but as soon as I made a barskin tent I started getting dreams. Dorf, thanks for what you did, but what housing did you have during it? --Jest Phulin 23:09, 19 December 2007 (CST)
Dorf's Resting Study
CONDITIONS
- Half of the results were obtained with a level 15 Disco Bandit. The second half were obtained with the same Disco Bandit at level 16.
- All adventures spent resting were with few effects, always including Disco State of Mind and rarely including anything else.
- Gear worn while resting remained constant.
- Mouthfuls of loose teeth were always in inventory.

CONCLUSIONS
- Frequency
- Dreams occur approximately (10%) of the time, in no particular order, and can happen immediately after one another or not.
- Each dream has an approximately equal chance of occurring (2%).
- Occurrence of the spooky hockey mask dream is less than (0.1%).
- Effects
- Moons (and therefore stat days) seem to have no overall effect on dream type/frequency.
- Drunkenness seems to have no overall effect on dream type/frequency.
- Suggestions for further spading
- Attempt similar progression with other levels and classes.
- Determine cause for spooky hockey mask drop. Is it mere chance, or are there other requirements?
Corrected your math on the SHM... it's less than 0.1% (1/1000), not necessarily less than 0.01% (1/10,000). --Hellion 17:03, 21 March 2007 (CDT)
- Quite right, I slipped. Thanks for catching it!--Dorf 17:46, 21 March 2007 (CDT)
The Housing Change
Since the recent housing changes have mucked up the use messages for housing items, their pages need to be updated. Moreover, does the "burn down" message apply when you're upgrading from the ground, or do they still use old (or entirely new) messages? I really ought to know this, having constructed newbiesport tents multiple times since the change, but alas I do not. --Flargen 02:27, 3 February 2008 (CST)
Is it possible to burn down your sandcastle for a cottage or something else that's lower?
