0002443: Quaffing from water fountains should not provide sustenance

Notes
(0007806) OG17 (reporter) 2010-09-02 20:55	Should rations also be removed? Fountain interface could be improved, though, to avoid the need for repeated inputs - a yes/no/all prompt would work well.

(0007808) OG17 (reporter) 2010-09-02 22:07	Why was this removed? It's only a "no-brainer" for spriggans. Any other race can safely ignore fountains because a chunk is reliably going to come along well before the nutrition would be noticable - however, if said characters are in a food crisis, minor nutrition is suddenly very important, in which case fountains become a welcome feature. Example: starting character equips cursed blunt weapon, character needs food, character finds fountains in temple, character lives to find a scroll. Starting character doesn't get cursed, character doesn't spend turns on a fountain. My interface suggestion needs work, though, as there's really no reason to take a single sip. "Yes" should drink until dry or interrupted - alternatively, fountains could just be drained in one gulp.
