It is something about "you can tell the pot is evil because it has an evil smell" and "if it has an evil smell someone must've @#$% in it".
Not up to egoboo standards IMO. |

Yeah, but you can't blame them too much, since the outhouses are already like that.
And I think those can be changed, or something.
I don't understand how people would find what they say now funny.
"Haha, it smells bad!
...lolwut?"
Seriously.

Sounds like a suggestion?

Well, I'm just saying I find "crude humor" (or whatever you want to call it) completely unfunny.
It's not clever. There's nothing to "get."
So it's not really funny at all.
To me, humor has to be either really clever and witty or really random and silly.
For example:
"...and then suddenly, this giant lawnmower came out of nowhere, and said, 'hey, you wanna buy a dozen parakeets for only a nickel?'"
I find this pretty funny. You don't even have to hear the rest of it (I don't even know what it would be), because it's just so ridiculous.
And then:
"Two guys walk into a bar. The next one ducks."
This is funny because it's a pun, and is clever.
I'm not saying either one is "rofl funny." Just "kinda funny."
They were just quick examples.
See my point?
(Oh, and if you haven't guessed, I much favor the sort in my first example. I don't think I used to be like that, but I am now. Too much Far Side, I guess.)

This is my favorite joke. Ever!
I don't think the outhouse needs to be changed. It *is* an outhouse, after all. I just don't think it is funny to bring outhouse humor to this situation.
I was thinking that we could make a monster called a "bad sheep" that hides among the sheep in zippy city and every so often it massively attacks a player. Maybe it eats him and spits out the inventory items or something?
Anyway, the pot could be a "bad sheep" that someone transfigured into a pot to keep it from eating everyone in Bishop City?
Or maybe it is an (evil) wizard hiding from someone?
Or maybe it is a thief and will jump on you and steal you cash when your back is turned?
Or it is a city guard in disguise?
Or a demonic spirit wanted to possess someone named Mott, but messed up the incantation. Normally, demons can't be kicked out unless their host dies, and now he's stuck because how can a pot die??? |

Well, true.
But like you said.
We don't need more outhouses!

| A Cauldron Mimic would be cool too. We could re-use the dog like barking from the chest mimic? |

 I know perfectly what the pot would be...  It wouldn't turn into anything, just spit out messages... BUT later, in Abyss 2 or wherever Dracolich is, Dracolich would say: (In the case player has been sitting in the pot) "YOU sat on me in Bishopia Capital!!!" (if player woul have had enough wisdom/intellenge/dexterity (HUGE amount would be needed) when he/she would have been sitting in the pot) Draclich would scream: "YOU figured out I was that pot!!!" And then attack.

Why would the big baddie transform himself into a pot and hide in Bishopia?

No, not HIMSELF. Boss Lich and boss Necromancer from Wizard starter and Healer starter. Before they got killed.
