Title: Lumberjack Song
Post by: Aqizzar on December 02, 2008, 05:25:18 pm
I was looking through the weapon list and I had an idea.

New creature - Lumberjacks.  They appear in the Industrial Apartments like Hicks and Yokels, probably similar stats.  They spawn with Work Clothes or Overalls, and carry Axes or a new weapon, the Chainsaw, a melee weapon with low hit rate (maybe strength based?) but ridiculous cutting power.  Appearance rate is tied to the Environmental Issue, and when Environment is L+ they're replaced by rare liberal Treefarmers.

What do you think?  This is mostly just for the Chainsaws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8_dY4rpjOc&feature=related).

Would it be possible for the Lumberjack foreman to sing a little song, and thus covert LCS members to conservatism?

Why farm trees when you could do the Liberal method and farm hemp instead? For everything! What better way to make your product smell like roses and cannibas?

Lumberjack sings, "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay..."
BEES remains strong.

I had a slightly different song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKSJLop26yI) in mind...

I was going to suggest that when issues went L+, Lumberjacks spawn wearing an Expensive Dress instead of Work Clothes or Overalls... but if *that* song isn't the inspiration, it wouldn't make any sense.

Sorry, but that video isn't available in my country. What song is it?

"The Lumberjack" by 80's hick-rock band Jackyl, the only song in music history with a chainsaw solo.
