Re: Echo Bazaar
So, I have a suggestion for you Mr. Gardiner. I'm giving it because I'm tired of losing turns when I miss a single day due to internet connection problems, and the suggestion is inspired by a text-based online war-game I used to play called Earth2025. The suggestion is this: Instead of only allowing 40 actions, why not take a page out of the aforementioned game and implement a type of "storage" for turns. It works pretty simply: Since we have a max of 40 actions a day, if you miss a day or take your free actions right before the day turns(which I did yesterday), instead of losing them all, half of them are put into storage, and are then doled out every time you gain a normal action, ie: If you have 40 turns, and 20 stored turns, and you use 2 turns, when the normal 7 minute wait time is up, you gain 2 turns, and this will continue until you've exhausted all the turns in storage. You can never store more then 20, but that would be a HUGE boon to those of us who aren't always able to check every day, or make a mistake and get action refresh right before the day turns and then don't spend them quick enough. For those who are "Exceptional friends" you can allow them to store 40 turns instead.
After that, I have to really compliment you all on the Cheesemonger storylet. I just finished it(I chose to side with the Cheesemonger in the end). It was a very interesting storylet, and I certainly enjoyed the conclusion, even the fact that with all that I did in the end, it still only caused a momentary pause in "The Game" ^^
Edit: Can someone who is a bit further along then I am, perhaps explain the purpose of the dreams? I have like 5 or 6(maybe even 7) different dream qualities right now, all between 4-7(except my chess dream), and it seems as though their only purpose is to raise my nightmares :-(
