CASINO BOAT
One of the things I wish we
had in-game, is the opportunity to go on the casino boat and blow off
some steam. You'd have to pay to travel there (perhaps a fast travel
post-looking thing near the docks, or talking to a ferry man or
whatever.) The price could be high enough for it to not be something
you'd do all the time, but not high enough that people wont bother. And
you should be able to pay in cash or gold. Maybe there would be a
seasonal lower charge sometimes, or the fee is waivered (like fast
travel sometimes is, etc), a coupon sometimes, you name it. When you go
there, you can stay as long as you like.
The casino itself functions similarly to the moonshine shack. No guns
or nothing, obviously. Only whatever you have in the item wheel like in
your moonshine shack.
However, you should have your own cabin in the ship (perhaps you can
pay higher for a deluxe suite.). In there, you should have access to
your wardrobe, so you can change your clothes while on the ship, and
you should have access to some washing water and a bath tub
(yes!). Ideally, there would be a chair and a bed in your cabin as
well. Yes, beds have no function other than to give you some rest, but
it's for immersion sake. Your wardrobe should also have a spot
dedicated to a "casino outfit" that you cannot store on your horse (no
point in that). You can go to the casino boat in any outfit you
like, but you should be able to swap into an outfit that is available
in it's own casino-boat slot, if you wish.
On the casino-deck, there would obviously be poker, blackjack, dominos,
etc. Maybe even more betting games from the era. There should also be a
deck for music, where you can listen to a band play time appropriate
classy music, and you should be able to dance - in pairs if you wish.
You could dance with an NPC or another player.
There should also be a place to eat, drink and just sit and relax. The
food could be from a buffet for example, and it should give you golden
cores. There should also be a bar that serves something more lavish
than beer/whiskey.
Below deck, however, you can join a secret fight club, where you can
play against other players or NPCs, no weapons, just bare knuckle
fighting. NPCs would be cheering and hollering around you.
In the weekends, at 11PM/23:00 o'clock, players (or single player) can
vote if there should be a fireworks dislpay sent up from the outer
deck, which can be seen outside the map as well.
