A Brave New Salem

So when is the wipe?

I just lost my whole village to bug abuse

Welcome back lol. So many old faces.

That's not a surprise, I am reflecting the delusion inherent in all of this ****. Have you seen a single game that this character MushMouth has created?

No I haven't but someone mentioned earlier that this game is just as much a baby to Jorb and Loftar as Haven is and to a point I agree. If this whole scenario turns out to be what it looks like, and the game has indeed been sold to a new development team, do you feel that Jorb and Loftar would leave their baby in incapable hands? It's a serious question as honestly I'm uncertain myself.

First, I have to say thank you for giving my words some consideration. I'm playing with this forum because it is more fun than Salem. I am being aggressive with it because I think that in the end people will come to understand what I was saying. Obviously I don't know if I am being effective in communicating it and maybe I am completely failing and subverting my own effort.

I'm not just typing nonsense, I am calculating my responses. You will notice I have not addressed MushMouth as if he is a real person, and that is intentional because he hasn't proved he is a real person. My delusion will continue until some proof of capable person-hood is established for the character MushMouth.

I don't want you to be associated with "Crazy Champie," but it would be cool if there were a few people who saw things from my perspective, even if they think it's strange.

Could jorbtar make a mistake? I think there is sufficient evidence to suggest that jorbtar is making a mistake, but ultimately they have to decide what is important for them. I'm on jorbtar's side on this. I want them to do the best for their baby, but I think they have deluded themselves, probably fueled by the delusion of the character MushMouth, into thinking they are doing the best thing they can for Salem.

Hi there!
I would like to see your vision on some game aspects:

1.Time gaps, i mean the time that boards needs to get oiled etc? are you planning to adjust them in any way?
2. Same about fertilizers and field boosting. Some special fertilizers as a rare drop?
3. More food recipes/more diversity?
4. Animals(we saw horses there!)?
5. Profit from profinencies(except slotting gear)?
6. MINING?!?!?!?!?
7. Market Stalls?
8. Darkness?
9. Alchemy?
10. And the last one, will we still have to look for the best stuff we could find on the ground or we will be able to produce decent stuff(upgrading materials)?

I think I will enjoy your tears most of all.

You know I missed the subtlety of this comment when I responded to it earlier. Our character MushMouth doesn't really seem to understand how tears are made.

jorb, you should rewrite this aspect of the character MushMouth, or your audience may eventually realize that a developer who wishes to elicit more tears by his effort to contradict my assertion of his flaccid resume is threatening to fail, not succeed. Why would I cry over the success of Salem by this characters hand?

Unless, this really is autobiographical and your propensity to desire tears over cheers has slipped into this characters development.

edit to add: jorb, I am also flattered that you have chosen to include me as one of the sub-plots for your character MushMouth. Maybe it would be more interesting if he were driven by a deep hatred for me. Maybe this could drive him into an irrational fit at some part of the story? That would be fun to tell my family about!
