But those paying close attention will realize that it is quite easy for me to 'limit' alts now as even a 'slow' amount of insanity gained while logged off would create a fairly real burden for having multiple alts. At this moment in time though I don't feel it is necessary but is nice to finally have an option to put a stop to mass-alts.
Yeah, so if You someday implement such drain, a newbie with 30-40 biles will go out for holidays, and wont be online for 3 weeks, he will permadie... Great idea to get rid of everyone that is not so addicted, that he check salem each day even on holidays, and all of the newbies that dont use forum (most of casual players play for relax, not to spend half of their free time on forum, searching for all patchnotes with ways they can die -> At least make one huge topic, and stick it into the top of the forum with all ways player can permadie or implement diseases,blood moons, and insanity to a tutorial), also most of people arent so addicted to check forum everyday. If not a friend that told me on skype not to log until i read patchnotes, i would not even know about the problem.

Applying some absurd metric to combat insanity like 25% of the playtime would certainly make things look silly. Unfortunately, it would make the person making up the absurd and silly numbers look silly too.
Silly like what? 200 PvP players with swords, halberds, running around to catch butterflies, and gather flowers?
Don't forget to implement rainbow and unicorns -> all PvP players loves unicorns,
And making assumption's... well.. maybe something is wrong with me, but while i like things like witchcraft to be secret, but things that can make my character, that Ive spent weeks/months to make, including some real cash payments at store to be more precised that "a lot", "a bit". I know multiple people (and You can find a lot of such people on forum too) that are affraid to log in, cause they dont know if "TREMENDOUS" mean that you will die when blood moon occurs even while you have small amount of insanity on you.
P.S. You need blood moon to be some maintenance break? Cause You're doing EVERYTHING, that noone would log in, while it occurs.
P.P.S. "Don't Starve" is fast paced game in "nightmare" envoirment, while Salem is slow paced crafting survival based on legends of XVI century pilgrims. I read a lot of history books about those times, and those legends and I dont remember any part about half population beeing dead because of insanity. You should at least spend some time to modify this mechanism to fit the story of Your game instead of ctrl+c ctrl+v ideas that just dont fit here. What now? We will plant butterflies to make flowers?
P.P.S. After reading patch notes i assume, that anyone who is online while stocked to get less dmg from whip will just become insane and die from afk'ing, as he cannot take any other actions ?
