Sorry Achernar, I am sure well all know that free time is a luxury these days and we do appreciate you and other imm's trying to make the game better but I agree with this hero business.

Instead of hero coins being made every (what 1/2 hour is a day in SK) game day, it really should be just one coin OR at the very least once every week (IC).

The problem is that you could loose a a few of the main competitions and still win because all your buddies have given you 400 hero coins each ( I know I am exaggerating). Get like twenty people to make hero coins and I doubt you even have win any of the regular tasks.

My opinion, make the coins that are won in the main competition worth a lot more (line 100 times more) then the ones made from that belt.

To Apophis the reason why someone that plays for 48 hours will have a leg up on someone who doesn't , if someone stays up for 48 house they can make 96 hero coins vs someone who plays for 6 who will only make 12.

Thank you. This is exactly why I asked earlier for someone to outline the basics of the tournament for me. I can see why being online more means you have an advantage now.

At this point, I must ask, are these coins lootable? For example, could someone simply gather a pack of 3 trusted friends and take all 96 afforementioned coins from a player? If so, I see no problem in how much time someone spends in the game.

Additionally, I agree with you Trexor that coins, or whatever, earned in an actual task or competition, should worth more than those gained purely from being online too much.

Well. Like I said last time. Things would change based on the events of the competitions prior. They have changed before and have changed again. I'll let everyone find out the changes ICly. The tokens issue is solved. Period.

I am just not competing due to IRL issues that happen to fall on this weekend. I curse the gods for this, as I really wished to compete.



By chance if there is not much participation this weekend is there anyway it would be moved a few weeks into the future?

Wasn't that just the problem people were just complaining about, having to spend so much time on sk "48 hrs" is what was said to get hero.

Increasing the time that they need to be on will just make them complain more.

Truely its all about who has the most friends or can bribe the most people, they will always win. Thats why Emet, Aldric, and falgos(isnt it?:P) won.

I challenge Emet to try to fix this competition like the last.
