Rarely. Unfortunately, I could believe that that was a sincere question.

That would explain all the crude sexual behavior from a lot of newspawns during that time though... :lol:

A little PG, but not much worse.

Seriously though I'ld like to see an update on how we are going, I am not seeing good things for the English speaking population in the PD reports, and without shaking the doom rattle again, I'ld love to track our real progress.

I am a little bit concerned when I see people drop dead of heart attack to conclude a confrontation that they didn't like. Are these people then quitting the game? If we had an option to just hear-attack specific characters of ours, perhaps that would keep them from quitting while still giving the dramatic exit these people obviously crave?

I don't know, but these are the things that keep me up at night.

You really need to find some more important things in your life ;)

Suicide is a much debated topic, and I'm sure you'd have no problem finding it in the suggestions forum, where you can read about all the complications and issues that have kept it in the discussion stage.

Does anyone know if this trend is reversing at all? My town has exploded from about five people to twenty in just the past (Cantr) year or two... :shock:

Two of my towns have had people dropping dead like flies in the past twenty-something days. So not that I've noticed...

I have been seeing the same, not only new spawns but new vibrant spawns. Getting people into the game is one thing, people who are good to play with? At least one third of my characters have been blessed.

People have been spawning characters. The ones who haven't unsubbed, anyway.

Probably due to summer and students having more free time.

Thing have been hard at home lately and I don't have as much time to play. I am thinking about cutting 10 of my 15 chars...but it's hard...
When people tell me that great minds think alike, all I can do is look at them and think "oh you dirty, dirty bastard"

If I were to cut ten of my characters.... I'd have exactly zero characters.
