The title says it all.

Hunger should be very slowly progressive.

Thirst should be able to kill people in a relatively short time.

I like that you come up with ideas, but what's wrong with RPing hunger and thirst, instead?

In a game where people dislike death traps and wandering aggro NPCs, Anjin is determined to kill everyone with THIRST.

Making hunger and thirst be a real problem would make the game suck. There are already plenty of ways to die from a simple mistake in SK, do we need one more. Also if you ever lost your connection you would likely come back to being dead, worse still your corpse would likely be in the void. I see no positives from this idea and all negatives.

I actually think the current hunger and thirst is a well designed mechanic for a game. When the effect hits your game play suffers a significant amount however you can press on if you really want too its just going to be harder for you. The player gets to make the choice should I complete what ever it is I was doing well making life hard for myself or should I solve my problem of hunger and thirst. Then the choices of how to solve it come to the for should I risk eating something that could get me poisoned or not.

And once a month all female characters who have not reached an age tick will get a message... "You feel a sharp stabbing pain in your lower abdomen. You need to find some chocolate. Now."
