What is this business?

We need an explanation please.

I just got the message:


Attention
You are dead and cannot battle, please go to the Shop.


Am I the first to die?

I must go shopping!

Well, I've figured it out. It's all part of a game called Battle. It has no real purpose, as far as I can see, other than to kill monsters and fellow members.

I've killed several members and heaps of monsters. So far I'm not very impressed, but maybe it gets harder/more interesting when you get to the higher levels...? :-\\

And before that, others finished off Cat and Luke (FussBudget) - but I revived them. ;)

I thought this Attack/Defense thing was all about the trolls and how to kill them so they never come back again.

Hmmm. Something is not right (yet) with this game.

Once you reach level 5 you can go on a quest. I'm not sure what's supposed to happen, but all I got to see was the rules of the quest (all two of them), and a button that said "continue". So I clicked continue, and then it said: "Quest completed. You won $50. All settings have been reset" (or words in a similar vein).

Which means that everybody has now lost their points and stuff, and all settings have been reset to default values. Not what's supposed to happen, I think. :-\\

What's more: even though I'm now level 0 (again), I can still play the quest (although that should require level 5).

I had like 5000 gold yesterday and my total attack was 101 because I ha got something with my stat point.  I feel there is no reason for this or it's to complicated for me to figure out and I'm upset.  Maybe if I could figure out the quest, but the exploring and everything else seems pretty worthless to me.

I don't know what we could really use it for either.  We already have karma and eviler karma.  We're also penguins here not monsters. 

This has really made me think about the game room and the fixing up it needs.

I liked killing someone I killed.  This part of the program I can figure out and with the resetting no one would stay dead.  I've done the explore thing and think it's boring.  I haven't figured out how to start a quest if I can and don't really want to anyway.

I agree. Killing other members is okay (although nothing to get overly excited about), the Explore thing gets boring pretty quick, and the Quests...well, they're not even quests at all!
I say: get rid of the Battle thing.

yeah, it's run it's course at this point.  Maybe it'll get more fleshed out by the author at some later date.
