Maybe - that's why I suggested to put it into the open instead.

Cherek wrote:The intention was not to catch players and then punish them for botting. Not at all. The idea was to prevent them from botting in the first place. So no punishments are needed. I don't like punishing anyone. If we keep people from breaking a rule it's much better than waiting for them to break it and then punish them I think. So nobody broke the rules yesterday, and nobody was punished.

Ok - achieved. I still think a carrot would work better.

Yes - my few lines about control and self-combat were a stick, but at least a different one than the same number challenges but packed differently. They'd not need you comming down and talking with an angry Irk for an hour. The issue would auto-solve. Whenever any solution requires the intervention of a protein-based-agent it's prone to be flawed.

So a carrot for all of yous cheating idiot friends?

How about.. no?

I still think its ridiculous that we need an incentive to play the game according to the rules. the incentive for following the rules is not getting punished because you didn't follow them...

A game that does not incentivize any of it's players' types in any way is dead.

You're incentivized by the fact that you gain exp/items/money when you kill stuff. thats the whole point. you're asking for additional incentives for doing what you're already supposed to be doing. When, in fact, most people don't have a problem with the current incentives. Just you.

Here's a thought. Why not forcefully log out anyone botting like you do when you idle too long?

I do? I just ask times and times again to tackle the issue people seem to have (I don't - I think the game is harmed in a multitude of different way much more severely by players and wizards) with "botting" in a positive way instead of another number game with wizard's personal decision involvement.

Is that even in game anymore?

Jar says "I will be silent for a while"

This is the only truth you wrote. Yes, I said this once.
And I meant to be not talkative rather then afk.

Amberlee wrote: Jar never returns and is dropped off in sparkle church when team disbands.
4-6 hours of teaming there..

And this is complete lie. I was talking a lot just from joining, mostly with Bonk, for several hours.
Also I was talking probably more then your character did...
Those interested can always ask Bonk for confirmation.

And this is interesting part - I never teamed with Amberlee... Now I understand more.

haha.
The fact that you dont think you teamed with Amberlee sort of proves my point


And for a quick edit.
We didnt team and I talked less than you did in the team.
Hmmm...
