Both in-game and forum drama would be nice. Drama topics could include
That's quite a list. Let's go point by point:
Why does such a vocal crowd hate Claeyt? What brought the level of dislike from a minor annoyance to full blown hate?
There's a thread or two out there talking about this right now so let's skip ahead.
Who is this Darworth and why does he have several thousand mentions on the forum? Is he good? Bad? A god?
Hard to say if he's good or bad. You can deal with him and I've known him to keep his promises, but if he decides you've been dishonest with him, you'll likely end up heartily screwed. He once was the sole raiding force on a server called Jamestown before we bought the game. He is currently becoming the dominant force in Popham, or perhaps he's already there, or perhaps it's all smoke and mirrors. Time will tell!
Why do none of Judaism's kills count? Will they ever count? What even makes a kill count?
I don't know! I'd be inclined to say all kills count. They like to accuse each other of making alts and killing them, then pretending they were real fights, but does that ever actually happen? The forums may never know.
Has Heffernan's base ever be raided? Will it ever be? As it seems it would make his dreams come true if someone tried to raid it
You know, I don't think it has. But he has gotten killed a couple times with some really nice things on him. Still his base is probably a treasure trove of awesome loot if anyone can find it AND get in.
Speaking of raiding, is it actually dead? Is the brick wall I built nothing more than a pretty looking wall now? Or will it actually protect my secret box that holds a secret from the Christmas party?
It's not a popular thing to do right now. But you shouldn't neglect your defenses, we're going to rebalance things soon as recently announced by John. We've been erring on the side of Carebearness for a little while, better than then the Apocalypse, but now we think we're ready to inject some life back into it.
What is the political landscape like currently? I see mentions of this mysterious tribe, was that the last real political power in the game? Are there rumors of another force seeking to gain control?
There are a few strong towns right now. Some peaceful, some raiders. Darwoth is one of the main offensive forces. Kristians is another. At least those are the vocal ones. The tribe is an old group that dissolved awhile back. That's a very long story I won't get in to right now, but it's funny to me that they are still talked about so much and there are even a few who refuse to believe they are gone. Darwoth is sometimes mentioned as being associated with them, but I believe it was more of a 'non-compete' agreement than any alliance.
Will anything ever happen with witches? They are all mysterious and whatnot but nothing seems to ever happen in game besides the occasional blood moon. Will a witch force ever seek to gain control of salem?
Like all unfinished mechanics, it is subject to change. We agree that it needs to be more dynamic and we have some sketchy plans for making it more fun for everyone but not enough so that I can talk about it here. As for whether or not a group if witches will ever decide to try to dominate Salem, that's up to the witches.
