Reworded, repersuasion: Deletion and Destruction. :) :)

[Thetaris]

Right. To begin with, the inability to delete notes is ludicrus. (this is my first post here ever, it must be important )
There should be a method to burn envelopes or notes. A maximum of 10 a day, so crazy people don't burn all of the notes. This means, the entire town could get together to burn some notes. Mwahahaha! (wierd thought, 'Come on guys, time to burn some notes!')

Second of all, ownership of a home. This means, you own a home. You can chose to destroy it. It takes half the time it took to build it, to destroy it. Only the true owner of hte home can destroy it. Ownership can be passed on to another person.

As another post described, destruction of homes and buildings would be good as well. Rather than <i>burn</i> it down, it would be a <b>brilliant</b> idea to damage it eventually. As in, it is like a person, and you can punch it or sword-stab it until it is destroyed. Of course, it would bear the grunt of about 10 men... or women!

This way, towns could actually be destroyed. MWAHAHAAHAHA!

This would also advantage Rau Nick Blackrock considerably.

It is quite stubborn, not being able to destroy items. I... reckon... it should be looked into. As the 100-document envelope I'm carrying around is getting quite annoying.

First of all I'd like to welcome you to the forum.
Second I agree with distroying buildings but I have some concerns about the problems this could bring.

I don't think that just the owner should be able to distroy a building as this brings about other problems like:
-How will "deeds" to buildings be passed on by a dead character?
-If "deeds" of a dead character can't be passed we're all still stuck with buildings we can't get rid of.

I think the overall solution is to give buildings hit points like animals and people. Make them with say 1000 hit points so that everyone can hit them. That will take a long time but still make it possible to distroy and protect. If it's too much make it 500... Of course the building would then have to be repairable like tools and weapons.

A way for destroying notes will be implemented eventually unless Jos changes his mind.

I'm not so worried about notes...
I mean they can be hid in an envelope which can then also be hid in an envelope...
Unless it's because the useless notes are such a massive strain on somthing important then I don't think we need to distroy notes...

Notes are something important. They would definately clog up the network's bandwith, if not now, then eventually. Imagine all that data that has to be stored!

And it is more realistic to be able to burn notes in a fire or something. Cantr is trying to strive towards realism, right?

Snake, by the way, that's what I meant- buildings having 'hitpoints'. That way, they could have 'value', eg a mud hut would be very flimsy, and a stone building would last the while. Objects, of course, would appear outside the building. But in this case, it would have to be assured that it was easier to unlock/picklock buildings than to knock 'em down, otherwise, you can figure it out yourself from here.

These things have been suggested many times and building deterioration will happen in some point, which probably means human actions (someone bashing the wall with a sledgehammer) are likely to speed up the demolition...

And destroying notes was probably denied because even if there was a limit, in a big city there might be a suicidal newspawn spawned once a week and if one person can destroy ten notes before getting killed then several people could torch the library pretty soon.
