A wonderful summary there, Tylan. How are you not in politics or something similar? (Maybe you are and just haven't told us!)

You appear to fit all of these categories, and while I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, I'm very sorry that it came as such a surprise that something like this happened. I don't believe in killing noobs for the sake of killing noobs.


I like the way that this is stated. A player needs to be willing to learn how to play the game and do some legwork from outside the game. Heck, there's even room here for people that just want to play a farming and crafting sim casually. There's just the restriction on it that you'll need to find a town that will help you along and protect you.

Yeah, I can testify to this. You can play this game casually, but dont expect to rule the world after 4 weeks. I have played for about 3 months, and have almost nothing to show for. Still I find the game relaxing and quite fun.

I'll just leave this here for anybody who was curious what a dead guy with 3 walls and 10 braziers looks like.

It became "impossible" for everyone it seems. The lack of high quality water and high quality wood is going to make it harder to grind high quality food, putting on the brakes for crazy gluttony. This is good. Now we must kill all those high humoured types, and all is set for evening out the playing field. :mrgreen:

Nice find. Expect to get a bit of competition for this spot. Better than my 50%.

I sure hope you claimed your entire lake like I did.

Not only that, I built a plank fence all around it.
