Not my problem anymore. I've stopped playing, I've resigned from staff.

And I know I shouldn't quit or else the anti-players win. But after 7 years of staying positive with no positive (and in fact, several negative) changes to fix the combat system, I've no more time to waste.

Thats what I don't understand. From everyone you have/had the position to talk about change and you don't and stop? Ah well I understand in some way.
There is no rule that says I can't post as much I want. I asked my lawyer.

For everyones information:

- We are actively discussing limitataions to how much you can ingest over time, so called "Saturation".

- We are actively discussing how to change the combat system. There have been many suggestions and ideas over the years.

The problematic thing is to balance whatever changes we make, so that the game still is fun and challenging, no matter what kind of character you play. But at the moment I think everyone agrees it is too easy to attack, given you have the right resources.

Don't overestimate my influence.

I have been anti-energy foods and anti combat skill for years. Look at the difference I made, eh?

Yes tea should be just taken out of the game.

My mom is so annoying with all her whining. :evil: Well, I should be going back to my own place tomorrow. It's been damn hot here all week and it's getting on everybody's nerves.

A thought for myself to remind:

Things can always get worse. And they often do.

1. Update travel every two or three Cantr minutes and with proportionally smaller increments in the position of vehicles and people so that people using cars actually spend at least one Cantr hour in traveling most roads. All travel speeds may be scaled down too to increase travel time.

2. Make land vehicles within a range from a town visible, if not to everyone at least to those who have a binoculars or a telescope. Generate events when a vehicle enters the visibility range and half the visibility range much like what we see for docking ships.

3. Allow gatehouses to be built at each entrance/exit of a town. Gatehouses should be similar to harbors. They can be kept open when there is no danger and closed otherwise. They should have a lock which can be picked. Also, it should be possible to start a sneak in/out project that lasts about a day and has a non-zero probability of failure.

4. Limit per day tea usage to about 700g.

Well it's been fun. I hope I made a real impact in Cantr and I hope you all learned from my reign of terror. I will try to be online to keep my characters alive, but I doubt I will have the time. For the record, I really don't hate any of you, it was just my way of role playing on the message boards. Take care everyone. I'm out. 8)
I did it cuz I hate you.

Yugooo, don't leave us. There are so many more towns yet to be massacred. But if you are really leaving, which I am not yet willing to accept, I would like to say I enjoyed playing with you except for a few zero rp massacres.

Did you really need the reminder? This thought has a way of constantly reminding itself. :evil:

Well done with removing the effect of tea. It's at least a start.
