  1. We've recently encountered a lovely little dillemma with our town on Epic. The village was changed to a democracy due to the founding mayor going MIA for the past 6-7 months. Everything was fine until we ran into a bit of a snag. We had a villager who nobody liked, to be blunt, so we wanted to remove him. Thing is, we couldn't do that ourselves. Not me, the current mayor, or anyone else with villager management rights. When we confronted him and asked him to /revoke, it took about an hour to finally get him to go, which if we didn't keep track of him (or if he logged off and logged back in during nighttime) could have potentionally been disastrous. Because of Epic's low GM-intervention policy, getting the fellow kicked for greifing wasn't a possibility. At best given the worst situation we could kill him, but he could still respawn on deed, or simply travel from spawn, and cause havok once again, since revoking is something he has to do himself. I would like to propose three possible soultions for this problem. 1) Institute a /votekick that functions like /vote but to remove the player from town instead of promoting to mayor. This follows the meaning of democracy and is possibly ideal. 2) Allow the current mayor to revert back to dictatorship. In our situation with the founding mayor being gone we had no options, though this solution might pose some problems down the line. 3) Remove the democracy aspect. I'm aware dictatorships can be outvoted still, (and probably would have been the better option for us if we weren't cycling through villagers left and right), but this political type seems redundant, especially since there's no way to turn back without the founding mayor.
  2. Forgive me if there's something I've overlooked, but... I have 20.21 meditation skill, Level 6 on the path of knowledge. I cannot gain skill. I simply cannot. I meditate 10 tiles apart, with a 32ql fine meditation rug. I've even tried meditating on knowledge tiles. I simply cannot gain skill. I can only assume that this is a bug, unless there's something that I'm doing wrong here.
  3. Virtual strangers? Near my virtual lawn? Activate anti-social mode! /ignore! Kos! /dev! How dare you play this game that's meant for everyone. How DARE you.
  4. No, really. Is the basic economic concept too hard to grasp? I must know.
  5. Game needs money to run. People pay money. Ergo, game needs more people. Why is this so hard to understand?
  6. I'm currently on a college network, and as such, I am required to download software that redirects me to a default website if the software hasn't scanned my computer for an anti-virus yet, or, seemingly, if it just feels like it. I attempted to, accidentally, run wurm while I was being redirected to the school's website, and now every time I start the client it attempts to load via said website. I've tried to delete the local files associated with the game, but to no avail. I also have the launcher application on my desktop, and have tried deleting it and re-downloading it, but experienced the same error. I can assume that the address to contact for this launcher is located somewhere else, but I can't seem to track it down. -Urgent help is requested with this matter, my subscription is going unused because of this. -Sidenotes Launching the game directly from this website does the same thing. Running windows 7 64 bit. Uninstalling and reinstalling java does not rectify the situation. There is nothing wrong with the launch file itself. The coding still points directly to www.wurmonline.com RESOLUTION: By deleting the folder found at C:/Users/Username/AppData/LocalLow/Sun, the launcher now correctly directs to www.wurmonline.com.
  7. Oh looks, it's everything that's been said in every other thread about this ever. Look, mod, can we just lock this and stop threads about griefing. It's the same 3 ideas over and over and over and over and over and ov-They're useless, that's what I'm getting at. It's the same people with their same ideas every time. I'm sure the dev team is working out a solution, especially if this merger may happen one day. In the meantime, just play the game for god's sake.
  8. So you can't move anywhere and you can't do anything. You know, I think normal people call this a ban.
  9. The moral of the story is lock up your stuff. The end.
  10. It definitely does not rot to 100 damage overnight.
  11. Well, that's rather nice of you. It's comforting to know that we can at least sort things out with just a few actions and some talk. Hopefully now we can at least be civil neighbors. Would you have any idea who dropped the dirt on us the other day then? Anything you might know would help us. Thanks in advance.
