The OP made me grin a little, i give you that.
The starving kids in the end are a pretty tasteless addition though, even though i have gotten a very high immunity for such pictures along the years since they get overused quite a bit.

RuneNL makes an excellent point.
Perhaps you should work with "the filthy squatters" and not kill them or chase them off by threatening to kill/raid them if they do not pay you inedible silvers.
It seems you have reached your goal.
Chars you can't sustain on a server made empty by yourself.

Also lol, comparing starving children to a videogame. Doesn't really sit too well with me even though I know what you were trying to portray...

I am amused by the thread, so kudos for that :P An original way to whine. I personally like that first line in bold, because it expresses exactly what was wrong with the old system, and why the new one is at least slightly better. "It takes 400 leaves of colewort" , surely if your most viable option to feed yourselves are raw veggies, something must be wrong. And on the same note, in an effort to make actual cooked food more relevant, I agree that water purity should gain some versatility, and hope that the next patch will balance the new purity system a bit. We'll see what "The Great Spirit" TM brings forth, and all the while keep wondering how we're able to shove a bible, pumpkin, and so many other large objects into tiny test tubes, but we can't seem to figure out how to pour water in them. I'mjustsayin'.
Edit: This is how I feel when I think about the test tubes and water : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRLHXNBqi9s

We pray for meaningful alchemy and a clear and logical path to Purity.

Yeah, I get the feeling the Great Spirit isn't listening. But I guess we'll see tonight. It would be nice to have something that will actually allow purity increase, however slow, from 0%. Even with high purity stores to work with, no one seems to be getting very far on purity and it's looking like it's going to cap out at 10% at Best and then start dropping again when the high percent humus is gone. :cry:

Maybe that update is working? hmmm.... I argued against it also, but maybe I was wrong.

The people of Salem have ignored it in their hearts and minds but now feel it in their stomachs. The Great Famine is here and the painfully realization that your lips may never taste that sweet sweet nectar of a 100 humour food again is beginning to set in. The Tribe continues to fight for justice but our food storages have dwindled and our limbs tremble as the nourishment we need becomes more and more scarce.

FACT: Did you know it can take over 400 Leaves of 0% colewort to fully feed a brave?

The entire farming operation of a small village does little more than quench the appetite of ONE brave on ONE run against the Criminals of Salem. The Famine fights for evil and thus, it must be stopped.

Please watch this public service announcment from the Tribe:

And please, If you are interested in ending the Great Famine please pray to the Great Spirit with us in this thread. Only he can end this suffering. For just as he shall giveth us life he shall taketh our purities.

Perhaps when the Great Spirit visits Plymouth with the Loftar to inspect whatever catastrophe that will surely be unleashed onto the unsuspecting populace in a few hours, a vigil can be held near the church so that He may take notice and understand our plight. Surely then He, in all his wisdom, will be unable to ignore our emaciated, unwashed bodies. I recommend everyone prepare a jute outfit beforehand.

This is a thread for worship and prayer. Please keep your ugly colored text and restrictions on how people choose to pray out of it unless we are really regulating freedom of religion on moderation level now. If so the please updatw the rules to reflect acceptable prayer methods.

"F*ck the treaty" has been copied and pasted on these forums countless times so your "spam" claim is biased or inconsistant
