"I see... so then If I were to turn a sword to foam, swallow it, and jump out the window, Would it pull me back in?" I say, my words slightly muffled through Cinnamon Struesel Muffin.

Yes it may be considered god-modding. But I am the moderator for this thread. If I weren't the moderator, the bullets would revert to their dangerous material. But they wouldn't be projectiles, and would pass naturally through my system. Not unlike the marbles I had occasionally swallowed when I was younger. I would be uncomfortable until the metal passed through my system, but it wouldn't really hurt me. Maybe a small case of temporary hemorrhoids. But that doesn't sound nearly as fanciful as digesting the potatoes. Or Naro's idea of me just dying because the bullets would turn back into their explosive state. Besides I thought only certain bullets exploded on contact. The illegal type, or militant types only. But I'm not a firearm expert. Phaeton seems to be. He did a whole guide on keeping gunfights realistic.

Look. It's just a rule for this thread. I'm trying to re-enforce it in as creative a way as possible within the story line. The point is. No one is allowed to kill anyone else and weapons can't be used. How would you make it light-hearted and safe?
I'm not sure Naro. It wouldn't allow anyone to be injured due to actions taken in here. So it might pull you back in, or it might cause you to have a coughing fit that ejects the sword-foam from you. I still haven't figured out all the specifics. I just know nothing can suffer permanent damage. Besides if you're out the window, you're still within the confines of the property. I'll have to look into that for you.

I wouldnt. Rules are not meant to be sugar coated. They are meant to keep people safe and informed. The fact you are trying to sugar coat them for children can also be taken as a bad thing. Kids didnt like to take vitamins but then companies like Johnsen and Johnson made them into gummy bears and now children pop them like candy...obviously making them sick from an overdose of iron or anything similar. [Believe me I have been there--its no big leap]

I'm trying to make it humorous for my own sake. I like humor. And people imagining how their weapon has become as useless as a toy, is a good way to get people's brain-juices flowing. It's better that you guys figure out how it doesn't work, rather than have me do it. Like I did with the potato pellets. I'm sorry that's the way you feel, but it is the way I choose to make the rule known.

It does that. I never thought about what would happen if a dangerous element were in someone's body and they left the grounds. So I'll have to try and figure that out. For now, I'll just not eat the potato bullets. Maybe for poisons, just before you leave the grounds the substances purge themselves from the bodies they are in. It's a really good point, and it's got me thinking. I like thinking.
Well, my family is working on some house projects, and they're requesting my assistance. I'll be back later to see what's up.

Potatoes are poisonous....the green part under the skin but before the whites has a toxin in it

I haven't heard about exploding bullets, but I have heard about tracer rounds though, the farther the distance they are shot the hotter they get.

"Well, Wolfy, that's just for raw potatoes. Once the potato is cooked through, the toxics are pretty much cooked out. Haven't you heard of baked potatoes? Only a select few viruses and bacteria can survive such intense heat." I purr, finishing my muffin and grabbing a cookie. "And yes, explosive rounds do exist. They're use to pierce thick walls and armor. The bullet explodes on contact, releasing smaller fragments to continue forward. They are my overall favorite type of bullet.

All mushrooms are poisonous if you eat enough of them too. But with the ones we eat, it takes like 50 pounds or something ridiculous that no-one would want to eat in one sitting anyways.

"I don't get it either, but I did only have one raw potato. I think it goes back to Irish culture. The exact reason, I hav no clue."
