Each year approximately 150 people are killed by failing coconuts. Meanwhile, sharks only account for about six deaths per year.
In real life the coconut is obviously more deadly than the shark. It should be this way in game too.
Please allow us to throw coconuts as a weapon! Even if it only does 1-5% damage to a pirate, it would be a great, fun and realistic addition!
Imagine how awesome it would feel to deal the killing blow to the mighty kraken with a well thrown coconut!
The potential combat coconut commendations would bring this game to new heights of 60 to 80 feet (the average size of a coconut tree of course)!
I wouldn't be against being able to fire coconuts out of cannons either!
Or fish! Or anything really! If we can fit it into a cannon, we should be able to shoot it. But I digress.
Having coconut trees on islands that we could climb and harvest, and fall from with damage would be great too!
If you could lure another pirate under a coconut tree, and shoot the hanging coconuts, they could fall on the pirate giving them a drunken stagger or possibly knock them out (fall asleep) or even kill them.
There is actually an excellent dramatization of using coconuts in such a manner. I refer you to duel scene between Gilligan and Haruki from the awesome Gilligan's Island episode, "Gilligan's Mother-in-Law".
Please watch the episode and enjoy a great laugh!
I hope you decide to unleash the full potential of the coconut in Season Ate: the Coconut Conflict!
Thank you for reading!
