Exactly what I was about to say. It may seem like a good idea at first, but you have to think about what people may do with it. Fake their being handicapped to scam some person out of something.

nothing against your idea but, if there is a new item everyone will want to have it >_< even non hadycaps

i can see it now:

"ill trade you my wheel chair for your crutches"

just my opinion

the wheel chair idea sounds nice but people on vmk(not everyone) will start and abuse the power of it by making it into pity parties.

look, i suggest for the idea that when the person is making there character and everything for the first time, vmk asks a few questions that involve wheel chairs that only a person in a wheel chair would most likely know, so then that person is given a wheel chair in vmk. of course people STILL might abuse it, it is just to limit it down. maybe make it in a form of a magic pin like the magic carpet pin.

i would definately pretend to e handycapped if that happend i think it would be a bad idea bc the ppl probably dont want to be handycap and ppl could be inscencitive or be mean

Down side: People wanting stuff because their pretending to be handicapped.
Plus side: Racing downhill in wheelchairs is FUN! (Don't ask.. but it is.)

how about this: when u make an account, you have the possibilty of getting an account with a perminant wheel chair attached to your character.



that may work


this way, only thing free is a wheel chair, and its not right to fake an injury or illness just to get that. Also, you cant take off this wheel chair, cant trade it, etc. However, it does disappear while on a ride a player created, doing magic, etc.

ok so...like

When you join you get asked Qs about handycap
You get an option if you want a weelchair or not
if you click yes you cant change
if you abuse that,you will get warned about being banned its kinda like begging
and maybe turn it into a magic pin later?

I Like the idea! I've Popped a Wheely in my Grandpa's Wheel Chair! it was fun! I did that with my cousin and it was crazy! anyways, I'd like to race a wheel chair! oh and to get rid of the " Give me free! I'm handicapped!" Problem, just not put the word Handicap in the dictionary!

It would definately be a weird thing to add to VMK (not necessarily a bad thing). I think that it would be a little bit unfair to people who actually use a wheelchair in real life, because other people might pressure them to use it. They come on to an online game because they don't want to have anything negative to think about (like a disability) and to bring an item like that would bring them shooting back towards earth. On the other hand It would be cool to have it like an item you could put on as pants though. Mobile Chair!, Woot Woot! Long live laziness!

People who aren't handicapped would buy a wheelchair anyway and beg for free stuff... "I a new worn baby i hand cap!!"

This would also cause those horrible players to make fun of those handicapped :S

Stannef
08-12-2006, 08:49 PM
In a way it would be interesting and fair to sell wheel chairs for people with a disability - But on the same note, there would be those who would buy the wheel chairs and what not who have no disability, and I don't think that people with a real disability would want to tell everyone in VMK to receive pity and sympathy treatment.

I dont use a wheel chair, but most people who do dont like using one I believe. I dont think they'd like to tell everyone they meet that they use on and also the whole scamming thing as well...

~twinklebyte~
08-13-2006, 02:45 AM


No offense, but I mean..Its a virtual game.

I SO agree with PirateTod, too. Then people would be asking for free, more. "Please, im handycapped. Me need free." So lame, dudes! LOL

Good thinking, though :)

Thats the first thing that would come out of anyones mouth on VMK.

As long as the people with wheelchairs don't automatically get to go to the front of the queue for a host game.

LOL thats all i have to say



This would also cause those horrible players to make fun of those handicapped :S

exactly and it would just cause total chaos in one way or another

Misskayla
08-13-2006, 03:01 AM
Yes but you could have a quiz in the beinging asking if you want to use a weelchair in VMK all times and if not they push no and they dont get one and if yes then they cant take it off is that bad?

The disability is not part of the person though - it's just something a person has to live with so there wouldn't be a purpose of wheel chairs really.

Because it's fun to dress up but I am sure no-one with a disability finds it fun.. It's just something they have to live with, why have to advertise it online as well? ;)

I would be afraid of getting run down by virtual wheelchairs. You know everyone would buy one to race with and go crazy on.

I dont get this. Why would you want VMK staff to stop fixing bugs, and making costumes and stuff, so people can have Virtual Wheelchairs? I would rather more hairdo's and more Furniture then a wheelchair. Anyways it would promote those sick 'doctor' rooms.

Umm...
What is the point?
Anyone with physical disabitlies, has nothing to do with virtual disablities.
Thats just kinda pointless to me.
And maybe some ppl like that play VMK just to get away from that.

Let's see... If people buy or create a character with a virtual wheelchair, then go around begging, "I'm in a wheel chair! I a new worn bay be and hand cap. Give me free!" they probably figure, "Oh! Well, sometimes it works in real life, so why not in a virtual game?" People will fake disabilities just like they do in the real world.

There is a couple that stands by the highway every day, and they trade off medical devices. For example, she will have a neck brace Monday, he will have crutches Tuesday, she will have a wheelchair Wednesday, etc. They actually earn money doing this, though it can't be much.

But there is hope. If one were to buy the wheelchair, we could all think that they chose that, so there is no reason to feel sorry for them because of their decision. I'd hate to talk for people, but I believe that most handicapped people just want to fit in, and they don't want pity. So if one were truely handicapped, when they played VMK, if they choose to get a wheelchair, they would be the only ones with a VMK wheelchair that wouldn't beg.

I know I can at least speak for myself when I say I don't like to be pittied. Only the people who can achieve it without effort don't want it. Ironic.

Good idea!

I dont think that would be too smart..since it would be like singling them out, making them not blend in. Maybe some do not want to admit that they are handicapped. Sorry if this seems weir im just trying to show how people have different opinions.

Well, there's a difference between not thinking of him as "the kid in a wheelchair" and not noticing he's in the chair at all.

honestly,
i don't think we should have to be even thinking about adding wheelchairs to the game because
well, everyone in vmk can walk perfectly fine.

however, i guess having the option of a permanent wheelchair would be a good idea for those who are interested.

Why shouldn't we have wheelchairs? Because there are a lot of stairs in VMK, and it's not fun to fall down them.


In all seriousness, though, I agree with mogwog. No wheelchairs, because there are some people who will be offended and/or put off by it. Segways, on the other hand, segways are cool.
