I'm tired of suicidal newspawns

[N-Aldwitch]

Oh my god, someone kill him now, put us all out of our misery: Fear him, for he is the new Thetaris!!

[Mykey]

I see,Thank you for clearing that up for me.*smiles*

[N-Aldwitch]

Oh my god, rid yourself of the '* *', and use fricken emoticons to the left of the box you type in, god damn it!!!!!

[Mykey]

I`m all original buddy*winks* I`m the new nothing.

[N-Aldwitch]

No, you're not the new nothing: You're nothing new.

[Mykey]

That is good to know,I assumed the world was big enough for only one of me....I guess I was wrong*smiles* and those emoticons are pretty limiting I`ll stick with my * * *winks*

Life is a little less cheaper in Cantr now... which has to be good... and now chasing a thief and killing them is more than just an exercise.. its proper punishment...

No, it's an in-game resolution of game mechanics which makes it possible for someone to enter all buildings in a town and run, if done quickly enough and no-one's awake.

Killing fleeing thieves is almost a universal way of dealing with the issue - I have only rarely seen alternate approaches to the issue, most of them fail and are dropped, as the thief gets away.

I`m posting this here also because I think in the mess of the 40 day rule it won`t be seen.

Could we set all cantr accounts with a remote to alert staff if too many charaters (I suggest 5 but whatever works) have been created within a given amount of time? This way they can check the accounts and see if its a suicide problem or not and they could lock those people`s slots as opposed to mine:) Is this possible?Is a bad idea? Is it impossible to write?
Because this rule COULD hurt new players like me. And I think something simple like this accomplishes the goal and is extremely fair at the same time.

Thank you for your time:)

That is programmable but thats not the problem with this suggestin

There were 132 seperate players who lost at least 5 characters in the past 30 days - The work involved in investigating all these case every month would swamp the PD . Any solution has to be easy to maintain and be as automatic as possible.

Dang it!!! I was really hoping this would be the cure-all that made EVERYONE happy,I don`t suppose changing the variables (say 3 spawns within 10 days as an example) in the equation and looking at spawning patterns as opossed to deaths would make this any less overwhelming?

Oh well I tried,It sounded really good in theory to me.

However, it wouldn't have made the lives of Cantr characters less disposable, so it wouldn't have pleased everybody anyway

[Mykey]

But it would have fixed the problem that this thread was made for.

I suppose I have you to thank for waiting a month after my newspawn starved to death.

[Bmot]

Holy Thread-necro, batman!

dang, starvation shouldn't keep you out for a month!
