Item concept: Tether

[flimflam]

The basic idea is an item called a tether which could link two players together. This would serve to carry linked players through z level changes, teleportations, and restricting the mobility of one or more of the linked parties.

In terms of practicality this might be difficult to implement. Ideally the players would be able to have at least one space between them to give them both mobility, but people fighting for direction (pulling the other linked party) might be tricky to work out (what happens when two people pull eachother?)

It could also be interesting and still useful if one person was given pulling power and not the other. In this way prisoners could be transported, and maybe you could even with this mechanism create a chain gang of prisoners, with each prisoner pulling the next (hopefully with some sort of security officer at the lead!)

Maybe you could have security tethers and space tethers to work in the different pulling mechanics, but i think just being able to teleport two people safely and to safely travel space with someone is worth-while. (including recovering bodies from space) Maybe even you could tether crates or closets to yourself... So many possibilities...

I am in favor of rounding up all the miners and forcing them to work at gunpoint while singing catchy songs
