Due to recent events, Banger is now quitting the game. As sad as this is, i want to dedicate a forum post to it.
Banger, you have been an inspiration for many in this game, and for me as well. Your exceptional battle skills in this game have been shown and has given many players goals to reach in the game because of it. You were always a very reasonable and friendly player to those who have shortened you in one way or another, and i know this personally.
I know this sounds like you just died but thats not the point.
Players like Banger, players that achieved great heights and awesome skills, shouldn’t have to quit because of 1 player and because if voodoo. This is a perfect example of why voodoo is too influential on who stays and who doesnt. Many times through the history of this game, voodoo alone has crashed guilds and players alike.
What needs to be done is to either add ship and influence mechanics to counter voodoo or to introduce voodoo to a new part of the game, like storing them in ships. Or heck even getting rid of chests all together and having a function to hire witch doctors to do certain tasks like you would hire an admiral or a captain.
Because of this, Tom, you are on my watch and scope for a long time even after you leave. Anyone associated with you is also a target if the need is to get that way. Your reason to play that way is unjust and will be fixed.
Banger, i wish you the fairest winds and wish RL isn’t harsh to you like Tom was to you. Have a great one.
