People will be so annoyed with the new patch glitches in other games. I mean they will demand all kind of thing and talk bad about the devs. Not in Salem though :lol: as we have been waiting so long for the crashes :D

In this case, the compensation would be the chance to get onto the forums to talk about the crashes.

How about learning from experience? Every patch ever has resulted in a couple days of crashes. It can't possibly be so urgent that you can't wait a few days to do whatever you're trying to do. And if it is, if it's expiring scents or something, man up and walk.

Where as there is 16 ounces in a pound and 14 pounds in a stone, so I can see why Americans would rather use that system, it makes so much more sense. Because 13 stone is obviously, 13x14x16 ounces, which is simple maths.

Same with inches, feet and yards: I know lets have 3 feet in a yard, 12 inches in a feet and then we can just divide inches in 1/2, 1/4s, 1/8ths, 1/16ths, hell even 1/32ths if we want. Because thats a really good idea.



yes, that makes perfect sense and the metric system surely is overly complicated


Actually, English type systems were better for a very long time. If you're measuring out a distance, and you don't have a laser-cut ruler or a precisely spaced tape measure, how do you divide up your base unit of length? You're probably going to just cut it in half, or maybe in thirds, because it's easy to eyeball that. Hence, the English foot was divided into 12 inches with factors of 2, 2, and 3, and the inch divided in halves from there. So much easier than trying to make accurate fifths, which is what you have to do with a meter, which factors into 2, 2, 2, 5, 5, and 5. Even in metric, time is still divided into 60s and 24s.

If you look at the history if weights and measures, real, long lasting standards weren't in effect until about the mid 1800s and there was still a bit of variation until like the 1960s or so when it started to become possible to define units in terms of universal constants. So, don't go mocking older systems just because they are old. They were very effective in their time. The only reason the US hasn't converted is the ridiculous expense of the changes over such a huge country. The road signs alone... we don't even have the funding to upkeep our massive road system let alone replace all that. :/

Pretty sure that's how the Sumerian/Babylonian used to do their counting as they have a base 60 number system. They invent the time thing so that's why we use it still. Like calendar, from Roman.
