But most people (world-wide) prefer to spend more time indoors when it's cold, and more time outdoors when weather is good.
Don't wait that we will return someday. You have no idea how much we were pissed off by sneaky patches for major mechanics (destruction of payed authority objects) and, most important, lack of punishment for abusing unintended game flaws. And the latest I've heard about is touching Popham:
Originally, you can't move your cannon after it was loaded (and lit, but most important - loaded). But if you're already moving a cannon, you can load it, lit it and deliver it wherever you can. This allows you to fire cannon at one place, but have your waste scent in another, distant place, where you had to lit a cannon, and of course your scent will be covered by undestructable cheap object like Pilgrim's hovel or kiln. Guess who abused that right after he come to Popham(a hint: that's how Frugality statue was freed).
Once (or not once) JC said something like that: "In this game, you're reporting bugs instead of using them, or I smash you". I, and people I used to play with, cannot accept exceptions for certain people.
User banned 1 Month. Players who have an issue with how in-game disciplinary actions are handled may PM me. Players may also make threads or posts about bugs they think are bugs, abuse they think is abuse etc. etc. and as always I will make my ruling public as to why I feel it is or isn't and if there will or will not be a reversal of damage etc. Players may NOT slander the reputation of Mortal Moments insinuating, stating, or implying that there is any favoritism in the enforcement of said action.
Darwoth has no access to the test server, takes part in 0 Skype or Teamspeak conversations between myself and testers, vets, Profession Masters & Masons and as a result has my ear far less than others, evidenced by the numerous hissy-fits we have all witnessed him having during crucial changes he would have advocated otherwise. To my knowledge he has reported in a PM and asked for permission to use every unintended mechanic he finds. THE VAST MAJORITY of them never being changed because i have thought of said unintended use and deemed it in the realms of acceptability long before he finds them.
In the case of this incident, Darwoth did not pull a cannon and leave a scent elsewhere. There was otherwise an issue that allowed a 5/5/5/5 to fire a cannon without a scent. This will be fix'd next patch and is not URGENT given that a 5/5/5/5 alt will make the cannon fire at "Max time" you are really only punishing yourself for doing so. Keep in mind that the fix will not change it so that a massive investment is required to fire a cannon, it will only change it so that the nub cannon fire alt drops a scent, which will have little to no impact on this or future situations unless you take pride in collecting scalps of small alts with no skills.
Effective now until I say otherwise, players will be respectful of the extremely fine line and difficulty that exists in balancing an MMO with complex and ever-changing systems. They will understand that in ALL situations I will do what I believe is the right thing to do for the health of the game and the betterment of all players involved. Should they choose to not respect said line, or believe in said actions from members of the dev-staff then you are entitled to your own slanderous and untrue opinions that are contrary to the fact. Just keep them to yourself or eat a banstick.

In the essence of fair. I've also applied this ban to Argentis. Who I generally like far more than LOMS. However, it does read as though he is implying I will make a different decision on the future of the game depending on if Darwoth wins or not. He is free to PM me if I read this wrong. Until then... The same banstick as LOMS.
