I would just like to say, in JC's defense, having been a player who definitely had a huge impact on crushing Plymouth, he has a fairly unique perspective on how the game mechanics can be taken advantage of. I think everyone who played on any of the old servers can agree, the game had the propensity to be ruined by a single over powered faction. Each of the 3 former servers was basically shut down by a particular player or group of players. If anyone would have insight as to how to proceed in the future, in such a way as to balance out issues like this, I think JC would be one of these people.

He has already taken massive steps towards making players 'safer.' If you don't leave summonable crimes or hunt beavers outside of boston you are probably not going to die very much or have any substantial asset raided.

#5: While it is true that ALL the little boys and girls of Salem will be receiving presents this year, they will vary depending on the buffs you acquire (or don't) leading up to the holiday. Players are encouraged to do something that will mark them either Naughty or Nice in the next 36 hours.

Wait, are you saying that being naughty is better than being neutral? Better doesn't mean it makes one's life harder, BTW.

Well, Santa is hanging out with Mr Puggles, so my guess is that all the naughty people get beheaded as their "gift".
