Resting (or sleeping) is one of the abilities of a contestant. He/she attempts to lie down and get some rest, temporarily sleeping in an attempt of recovering from possible injuries.

It can be performed willingly, or is triggered by an event.

Causes

  • When performed willingly, the player will play a game of heads or tails. If he/she wins, the contestant will successfully manage to rest. Otherwise, he/she won't be able to catch the needed sleep.

NOTE: Whether the player wins or loses the game of heads or tails, he/she will enter a cooldown period in which he/she will not be able to retry doing certain abilities willingly, for 10 turns. For this specific ability, if the contestant has successfully rested, the cooldown period starts AFTER he/she has woken up.

Effects

Resting causes the contestant to be completely inactive for 12 turns straight.

  • Being asleep causes hunger suppression, which provides improved natural healing effects.
  • Other secondary effects will occur as usual.
  • If the contestant is resting in a proper bed, such as one found in a bedroom, the resting period becomes 30 turns instead of 12.
  • Many statistics will continue ticking down while sleeping, as it would usually by letting time pass - plan accordingly.

Bad Ideas™

A contestant should NOT rest if afflicted with the following conditions:

  • Poisoned - Venom poisoning will continue damaging the Contestant's body while asleep. Cyanide poisoning is much quicker and can very quickly turn the rest into an eternal one...
  • Wounded - Bleeding will continue while asleep...
  • Being in combat. While entirely possible, falling asleep in the middle of a fight tends to be a Bad Idea™.
  • Being on low nutrition - nutrition keeps ticking down while asleep, and if the kcal counter is extremely low, or has reached zero, then the body will deteriorate while sleeping... which is also potentially fatal.
