    I also like to believe that being this offensive is also "antithetical to Western Culture in general" and that you do NOT represent the majority of us. For those offended by this person's statements, I apologize.

    As much as I dislike riverbummers posts, i dont think his post was meant to be offensive.

    Whatever complaints he wanted to state about the star system can be done so without involving race or culture, but he deliberately chose to do so and wrote it in a way to imply that non-western cultures would do something sleazy like this and foreign equals bad.

    You are reading it wrong, because there was no implications like that.

    He said the concept could be viewed as sleazy OR foreign as in "strange and unfamiliar."
    You assumed he meant foreign in an ethnic or cultural way

    What has this forum come to that I am defending riverbum?

    Pretty sure Riverbummer was simply joking.

    One of my guild members tells me Gimli was in the Tynon story; The quest with the dwarf and he died.

    I also notice that there is no consistency with star success %. You can get to 18 stars within 6 - 10 turns... while you may spend over 15 turns and not even able to go from 13 to 14.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to make the % to be more accurate, and the % for 16 - 18 stars go to 5%, 3%, 2%, and 1%? This would make it much harder to achieve 1% yet allow others to achieve 13 - 14 stars in a more consistent manner.

    Thank you again for addressing this issue which was long needed.

    I also noticed that the stars stack to almost 100. This allows the crazy congestion on Saturdays to be addressed. Also it allows you to accumulate a lot of stars from CW and not force you to spend it all the same or next day.

    50% does not mean that every other time it will work as an example. It is just a matter of luck. If you want proof, flip a coin several times an see if it comes up heads every other time.
