Code: Select all

1.5.88: Richest person in Demographics will appear from now on, only when someone has 50M or more.

This was invented because of a Pouch of Gold issue, where someone was running with a really large treasure at hand and other people were casting pouches on him. We found this tactic incompetent so we invented this stat.

This time, it seems that most people prefer to run with really small hands to avoid Booty Masters which however creates other, more severe issues. This is why we made it this way. Because we want players to run on larger hands without too much fear on Booty Master

So its been, 2 months... Now Demographics is on 610 M not increased by a Vast Amount, as newer player's are beginning to carry more in there purse... Can you decrease it to 25 M per player?

aye, cant recall ever seeing anyone lit under that feature since the change : which indicates to me it was too generous.

Too True Danik, I personally think 25 M is a good number as it would half the amount, not many players use to carry more then 25 M anyway - If they did, it was mainly for Treasury Payments...

Not to forget I have a good supply of Booty Masters and want to use them... And can not be " Arsed " to cast Pouch of gold to find a good target

Aye : I had no issues with the old standard.. showing who was carrying most at any one moment : at times it was a personal nuisance but meant I had to time nation pay-outs and big coin moves carefully : now, 40 mil in, it can sit until whenever and get moved out at my convenience : not sure that was the purpose of the change either : I do think those who carry the biggest purses, or fail to prep for a nation payout, or allow their purse to build up from trade profits should be spot-lit : such folly should never be rewarded with the cloak of darkness...

I remember when I was a wee lad - Joe Boot was always on the Demographics page... I guess the Admins moved it, because Boot can not cover most peoples Asses ( Donkey ) anymore.

We have many shipwrecks of low value ships. Even if we introduce shipwreck retrieval mechanisms (aside from Tidal Wave that already works as such), these low value ships will make it less interesting. Therefore we decided to remove the less interesting ship of all from the sea bottom.

The result was to remove 15 000 howkers. About 150 remain now at sea bottom (out of a total of 41,500 shipwrecks, previously 56,500).
In the near future, we will also remove all Cutters and Sloops.

Expect Tidal Wave results to improve as a result. They already have.

ou begin using the voodoo curse Tidal Wave !

You have created a huge Tidal Wave which has struck the port of Prote !!!
Your Tidal Wave returned with Unnamed (#154457), a level 2 Howker !!!

I guess that was some player's ship out there without crew.

It could be. Tough luck anyway

Inactive fleets will still provide a supply of howkers, not all TW's are dredged from the sea bottom. But its a good move to reduce the overall numbers of low value ships.
