RULES

NAME
        pub - Rules on pubs etc.


DESCRIPTION
	This file deals with places etc. where you buy things to eat and
	drink. It also deals with the healing properties of foods etc. The
	word 'pub' is used in a broad sense, including bars, restaurants,
	pubs, coffee-shops etc.


	THE PUB IN THE VILLAGE

	The pub in the village is hereby excempt from those rules. It is the
	one pub that no other pubs must surpass. The admin feel that the
	village area needs this advantage.


	GENERAL POINTS

	* All pubs requires permission.
	* A pub might be allowed in an area with 50-75 locations or more.
	* Keep very long distances between the pubs, yours as well as
	  others.
	* Things sold in the pub should be consumed there, too.
	* Add the property "healing_place" with the argument "pub" to the
	  room.
	* Sell a limited amount per reset.


	DRINKING AND EATING

	All drinks must make the drinker less thirsty, and alcoholic drinks
	must also make people (more) drunk. Food eaten must make the eater
	(more) stuffed. Often the drink/food will heal the player. This heal
	must be less than the strength of the item, and at most equal to 50.


	NON-HEALING DRINKS

	Some pubs etc. sell beverages that have no healing at all, but
	instead jus makes the drinker intoxicated, thus speeding up his
	healing rate. Such drink can have a max strength of 50, and can be
	sold for half the price they would have if they healed the same
	amount. No more than 1000 strength/soak/stuff are allowed per reset.


	THINGS TO USE

	Look at the objects in the /std dir: simple_food.c, simple_drink.c,
	smorgasbord.c, complex_drink.c and complex_food.c . Those standard
	objects are there for your and our convenience. Use them as far as
	possible.


	CREATING YOUR OWN

	If you make your own food and drink, be sure to call some functions
	in the player object when they are used: drink_alcohol(),
	drink_soft() and eat_food(), all with the strength as an argument.
