Cannibalism

[CHR3S]

I think that eating human flesh should be punished ingame, a human eating another human should result in a sanity malus or sickness.

Why ? I just dont see your point..
Sickness can be cured, sanity is not in game. When people are desperate they eat one another, its better then dying.

Why sickness? Its just meat, like a chicken or a cow

Id say the sickness will be addressed later, if not actual cannibal based then raw meat eating. Which can be treated. If you have the stuffz. :P
You already can suffer a hit to fame if your killing randomly for whatever reason, that would apply to hunting humans for meat also.
So, the base is pretty good. Now it just needs rounded out.
My thoughts on it.

Exactly, its just meat with no effect, unless that meat was your friend, it have no effect..

Well, how many of those diseases would fit in this game ?

I'm all for a sanity meter. If we're able to get down to as fine of detail as how many teeth we have for what foods we can/can not eat, the same should go for our characters mental health. Granted these are "the worst of the worst" prisoners on the planet, so they've probably done some eye-raising ♥♥♥♥ like shank somebody with a toothbrush, but no human could skin and eat another and not have that sit on their conscience unless they were already mentally ill. Maybe mental stability could be a vice like smoking, drug addiction, alcoholism etc? Humming to oneself, manic laughter (both of which would give your position away) subtle things that aren't a direct punishment but rather a slight disadvantage. I think it would be really awesome.

EDIT: I like to RP as the prisoner butcher/chef. My character is huge, fat, basically a walking tank with a meat cleaver. He can cook you delicious meals such as pasta, vegetable soup, human steak, sauteed guts, etc. If I were to be able to have my character hum, or some other weird stuff, that would add such a layer of depth to who your character can really be.

Diseases that infect your brain functions would fit nicely :)

Getting shakes, problems with your vision, vitamin deficits....

Well that would be great IF you could force feed people :D

Well eating human meat gives your the wrong kind of proteins to your body and might cause you some hand shaking and whatnot. Don't fully remember what is what called, but if you keep eating human meat there will be physical AND mental health issues in the long run.

Id say, and hope since we are all not the cream of society here.. that some nasty things will be allowed. Force feeding, tie up ( and encourage that leaving helpless vs killing is better ) Soooo many things that could evolve the overall game as far as interaction. And disease can play into that. Imagine a ( random disease ) person running around infecting people? Pure evil.

You could get Prions Disease, or Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease....
