Just a side note - this reminded me of the pretty life-like scenario -
every second Friday, on a payday, shortly after 12:00, hordes of orcs
craving for a dwarven spirits (alchogol drink, for those unfamiliar with
Dragonlance) invade the town, breaking everything on their way and
heading for a nearest alchohol store...
At least, something like this (well, translate it to RL) had been
happening befor my eyes for almost 30 years within a former Soviet Union
- I happened to live next to that store :-)
Well, I remember also in 1988 a friend of mine proposed the idea to keep
the drug store in a game (that was not multiplayer yet) open 2PM-5PM,
real system time (obviously, without any mention of that to the players
- that was a quest! :-)
