Reading the replies, I get the sense my suggestion has been largely misunderstood. Let me take responsibility for that and set the record straight: the suggested change is pro-salvage. By all means, players should recycle useful stuff abandoned by those gone AWOL. In fact, the whole point of this suggestion is to make the salvage experience just a bit more likely to happen for everyone. The current auto-announcement of disbands incentivizes a dreary style of metagaming and excludes players who are unwilling to engage in it by tracking deed locations, planting alts, setting alarms, keeping calendars, etc. By making the announcement trigger only when the deed area is visited post-disband, more casual players will at least have a chance of stumbling onto an El Dorado. Hardcore salvagers would still have ways to secure an advantage (and arguably they should), but the advantage would not be as huge and exclusionary as it is now. TL;DR Salvage good; rewarding salvage metagaming bad.

Sample size: 50 Displayed creation chance: 57% Success rate: 100% (0 Fails) Probability that the displayed chance is correct, and this is due to random luck: about 1 in 1.6 trillion. In other words, the chance shown is simply wrong, wrong, wrong. Mind-boggling that this still hasn't been fixed. The actual creation chances must be dead simple to derive from the code since they determine the output. Either show them accurately, or remove displayed chances altogether. Why have the interface literally lie to the players?

That derailed quickly. Posts related to the OP welcome; others, not so much.

I think you might be lost. There is nothing in my suggestion about a no-build zone.

Over 114,000 favour for Nahjo or Libila priests. Equivalent to around 18.3k chopped corn for same. Asking 20s ***17s50c*** delivered to Freedom outer coast.

Currently, the moment a deed disbands, a green-text announcement appears in the 'event' tab and the info goes to Niarja for all to see. This leads to salvagers swooping down immediately on the deeds to loot them, camp them with alts, and/or lock them down in various ways to block access to other players. In essence, it's not at all unlike what happens with uniques. Suggested Change Instead of announcing disbands automatically the moment upkeep runs out, let them disband quietly. An announcement is still made, but not until a player actually steps onto the former territory of the disbanded deed (example event message: 'Player X reports that Deed Y is no more. It disbanded on ...'). Not only does this feel more natural, to me at least, it gives everyone a better chance of stumbling onto the ruins of an old settlement, which for me was some of the most fun I've ever had in Wurm. Even if only for the prestige of being the one to discover the disband (and see one's name in green text), this would give players more reason to venture off deed and explore.

Umm, [20:56:34] You explain how Magranon is strong but still needs you to work faithfully so that he may manifest his powers. The favour pool still is not full so I can't see any point in planning this just yet.

Count me in! That time works for me. I hope it does for everyone else who posted in this thread too. My Mag is 100 faith, 94 channelling. Going with the highest-stat Mag as caster will probably make the most sense.

I may have read your post too hastily, but the red flag for me is the measuring jug. These take up the volume that they are set at, so if you changed its volume while it was in the satchel or after removing it, etc. this could lead to different results when trying to put it back in or move it to a different satchel.

I have recent experience verifying that this does indeed work as it should. Good luck with the service!

Auto-completion problems like these could easily be prevented by making the reward trigger a pop-up window with drop-down (select cluster of choice) or a no-drop token that exists in both Epic and Freedom inventories until consumed in either cluster.

This is now the third time I've been excluded from this cast on Xanadu, not by shadowy players, but by friendly ones who, though aware of my desire to participate, do not wait or make any attempt at contact. So sour grapes (of which there are certainly some) aside, I'm a bit confused about what the point of this exercise has been. As I understood it, the plan was to wait for the favour pool to fill, and then agree a time and place so all willing attendees on the list had reasonable notice to make sure they could participate (a few hours is not reasonable, unless we're to give up sleep, quit our jobs, abandon our families, etc. etc. for Wurm). Instead, you've gone and cast the rite immediately and involved only those people who were available at the time; and for that much, I commend you. But there were no PMs, and no waiting. What real difference is there between this and any other group that has 'sniped' the rite in the past, i.e. cast it immediately for fear that someone else would cast it first? Not a whole lot from where I'm standing. Don't get me wrong, I still believe the major fault lies with the devs for contriving such an obviously flawed system that is anathema to fun and cooperation. But I am rather disappointed as I had thought this thread was an attempt to take the high road: plan and organize the rite in advance, and if someone snipes it ahead of time, then that's on them and at least we have some evidence to point to when asking the devs for changes. Instead, we're left with the same desperate grabbiness, the same inevitable acrimony that bubbles out in the aftermath, and no clear answer as to whether cooperation can win out over 'sniping'.
