Maelstrom Venting

Fucking downtime! I'm fed up to the back teeth with it.

I'm going to give it a few weeks but at the moment the whole co-operative downtime thing (which has to be done in order to gain new Priest skills) is getting me so down that I'm thinking of packing in Jagular and just playing a bland character so I can hang out with my chums.

It's entirely possible that I'll get over this particular burst of disgruntlement but it's an infuriating system that never fails to get me into a boiling rage at some point. Come back Omega downtimes, all is forgiven!

Sympathy

Hi Bin,

I have some sympathy as co-operative military actions are just the same. May I suggest that if the problem that you have are players, phone is far more effective than email.

If the problem is system orientated, get the player id's of those involved and then email or phone PD directly outlining what you are trying to achieve and the problems that you are experiencing. I have found them extremely helpful in the past.

i for one have a massive issue with running multiple gambling dens by finding enough pc's to run them and then have one massive conference call so that we can all create our DT's together in order. If we get one single step wrong the whole house of cards collapses and we ALL have to start again. Then assuming you do it all right you find that I get the costs some other pc gets the moeny and i do not even get a report on the house profits. Now not only do I not know what has been earned I cannot pay rent as it is % based and I am blacklisted because the debts on profitable (barely)assetts.

Grrrr.

I do however agree Matt is willing to help wherever possible. It is old adage give a little and we all just see the problems. "ironic" better to be like LT and give bugger all for a decade!!

Warning : PeeDee Drone Here

Co-operative downtimes are evil beyond belief. I am in favour of them but I wish there was a better way of sorting them out.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Downtime system, from my time as Anaguma Tanaka and beyond. It *should* be helping people do cool stuff without forcing Pennington to read 3,000 multi-page downtime submissions that make no sense. It is *actually* fucking peoples games up completely instead.

I can say that it is [i]probably[/i] worth e-mailing PeeDee about the problem. They want [i]your money[/i] to make you happy. I for one would not like to see one of the people who "gets" the Faith game drop his character because of electronic idiocy.
