Talk:Meaty Bone

I think the page should explain explicitly that if the bone is not retrieved, it will disappear during the attack. Actually, does that happen to any meaty bone? What if you had one in the bank and left it outside during the next attack? Josiwe 22:57, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

All items left out in the World Beyond during the attack remain where they are and can be picked up later. --Mazt 04:03, 14 July 2011 (PDT)

Ok, for some bizarre reason I was convinced this item was different. Thanks for clarifying. Josiwe 08:01, 14 July 2011 (PDT)

Is this 50% chance of infection accurate? Shevek 09:32, 14 February 2012 (PST)

Yes. Mazt 14:05, 14 February 2012 (PST)

Could you provide us with proof of this claim? --Karate9dude 15:25, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Perhaps the status description of Infected including "you have a 50% chance of waking up dead the morning" would clarify? --Nickyh 00:52, 6 March 2012 (PST)

No, it does not clarify the claim that eating a meaty bone has a 50% infection rate in a normal town. Maybe we need to start a stats input table here like on other items. --Neuroguy 17:00 20 March 2013 (EDT)

Oops, my bad. I'll start a table below. -- Nickyh 01:43, 21 March 2013 (PDT)
