Can we have an Bored/disapointedquit thread the same way there was a ragequit thread? It's tiresome and demoralizing to come on to the Salem forum and every third post is either about leaving or hnh.

I believe it is all in the eye of the beholder. I think this thread is a perfect beacon for players to realize the dedication and commitment required to be successful here. Clearly you can tell by the screenshots that this player failed to establish a decent base, failed to raid or siege and single player, and failed to do anything meaningful in this sandbox environment yet he has still become "Bored" despite not exploring hardly anything Salem has to offer. The sooner players realize that the game is what they make of it and that others quit before they have ever amounted to anything the sooner they too can decide if they have the gaming expertise and skill level to be successful here.

Similarly, all the Haven threads are a great reminder that one mans trash is another mans treasure. Some people see a super ugly girl making out with somebody and vomit. Others use it as an opportunity to realize that there really is somebody for everybody. Not everybody can take home a "10". Salem is very much a survival of the fittest. For those not fit, there is always Haven.

That wall you showed can be smashed in about 2-3 min


The city of the tribe even less protected. Example, Tah-le-quah(As I understand it is a city of the tribe.)

Tah-le-quah's strongest defenses are its citizens, not its walls.

I hear a wizard lives there...

Not to mention the sled-o-pede that has been known to swallow entire squatters whole.

Is the hill on the pic intentional or natural?

well its natural.
when me and cheif built the Town we did not understand how to get bigger areas flat so we built Everything on the uneven ground.
now that we played a long time and understand abit more we can build up to 50x50 Square areas totally flat!
We never left, We just lay low and the lower we lay we stay connected and make dough.
