I'm very amused that outing myself as a goon has decimated good will towards pubbies.

Attention fellow lumberjacks--Woodcutting has been completely overhauled, changing the levels required to chop the logs and adjusting the XP given.



The asterisk indicates chestnut will likely be retired in a future update.

Welcome aboard to all the new recruits--if you like pubbies tears, we're about a week to a week-and-a-half away from a glorious victory on the leaderboards (not that we care, but they REALLY care), so you're getting in the right time to have a few laughs alongside your fellow goons.

Flour can use any kind of nuts--no one yet has mentioned pumpkin seeds, chestnuts, or acorns. I don't know if this makes a huge difference on the XP gains, but it's not as if you have to grind pine just to get flour.

16:31:59 From awesomefox8 : can i join your clan honk honk
16:33:45 To awesomefox8 : If you are actually interested, we are accepting new members, but we have a rigorous application process.
16:38:19 To awesomefox8 : We need an essay about your gaming history, with a particular focus on idle, text-based, and MMO titles. We also need a sense of your schedule and availability during the week so we know how many man hours you can contribute.
16:46:07 From awesomefox8 : i can normally play from 5am to 7am and in the afternoons i can play from 3pm to 9pm, and ive also been playing amaranthine for 1 year but ive died atleast 3 times, ive played multiple mmos like stardew valley and terraria and minecraft.
16:48:27 To awesomefox8 : Hmm... it seems like you registered in April, which is only about six months. I know you want to puff your resume, but we value precision and accuracy.
16:49:09 To awesomefox8 : I am a senior member of the hiring committee, so I could put in a good word for you. However, I would need you to write a more formal essay about your qualifications and post it in the guild forum.
16:49:35 To awesomefox8 : We usually set a word count at 1,500, but given that you have some experience I can slash it to 750.

21:27:49 From MadSanta : When ever you leave your guild we will send an invite
21:29:06 To MadSanta : I hope sooner rather than later, but you have to contact Xerol directly about buying me out of my contract. These things are really ironclad.
21:29:24 From MadSanta : your in a contract?
21:29:36 From MadSanta : ok
21:29:42 From MadSanta : how long?
21:31:19 To MadSanta : Variable duration, the amount of the buyout clause changes depending on time served and the membership size and ranking of the guild to which one of our members defects--let me talk to Xerol and see what he calculates.
21:31:48 From MadSanta : ok
21:32:47 To MadSanta : 21:32:23 Xerol : 1380 snail bucks
21:33:48 To MadSanta : He's probably driving up the price because I'm tne top woodcutter in the guild, I've mastered the skill.
21:34:00 From MadSanta : ok have fun in your guild we are not paying that
21:34:23 To MadSanta : Make a counter offer
21:34:49 To MadSanta : You have got to get me out of here
21:35:33 From MadSanta : we just can't pay 100 dollars to get a woodcut in our guild I'm sorry
21:36:50 To MadSanta : I understand... I wish I hadn't signed up for this, I didn't know what I was doing
21:37:02 To MadSanta : How much would you pay for a fisherman? I have another defector lined up.
21:37:57 From MadSanta : the most I could pay would be 300,000 c
21:38:50 From MadSanta : but our guild isn't like that we don't have contract. You can come and go as you please
21:40:48 To MadSanta : You are doing things right, hopefully you can set a better precedent for the new guilds. What about a chef?
21:41:05 From MadSanta : what is his offer
21:41:35 From MadSanta : im trying to help people
21:42:07 From MadSanta : and why can't you just flat out leave coal?
21:42:14 To MadSanta : our chef signed a 2-year contract because Xerol is paying his phone bill.
21:42:42 From MadSanta : really. This guy pays people?
21:42:43 To MadSanta : We sign legally binding contracts, and he keeps account information as consideration.
21:43:05 From MadSanta : for a game? Wow that is poo poo
21:43:18 From MadSanta : why the hell would you sign that?
21:44:18 From MadSanta : when does your contract end?
21:44:55 To MadSanta : He preys on the vulnerable, and the allure of such a huge, fast-growing guild is hard to resist for a lot of us. And as you can imagine, he is VERY well off to be able to bank roll this.
21:45:18 To MadSanta : My contract runs through 2017, but I activate an accelerated buyout provision once I hit JOAT.
21:45:42 From MadSanta : yah does he keep personal info?
21:45:56 From MadSanta : and somebody should tell grumpy about this
21:47:15 To MadSanta : He bought Grumpy off. This runs deep.
21:47:29 From MadSanta : oh god
21:47:40 From MadSanta : does he keep irl info?
21:47:57 From MadSanta : if so this case could go to the FBI
21:49:25 To MadSanta : We don't think he keeps personal info--we don't give it him directly--but some members have their suspicions. We also know Xerol's a government employee, but we're not sure if it's state or federal or what.
21:50:22 From MadSanta : thats hosed up
21:50:37 To MadSanta : But we've also done reverse IP traces and we keep getting hits in Moscow, so we don't really know what's going on.
21:50:43 From MadSanta : if I was there I would quit the game
21:51:00 From MadSanta : loving hell
21:51:13 From MadSanta : hes defiantly pulling something
21:52:21 From MadSanta : does he have a co?
21:53:11 From MadSanta : who is the leader again
21:53:25 To MadSanta : let's just say Xerol follows the path of light
21:54:01 From MadSanta : Why the hell would he do that if he wasn't pulling something
21:54:51 To MadSanta : HI MAdSAnta. I REally appreciate the offer to join your guild but things are going well here at COAL. have a PRosperous New Year and many successes of the PATH to enLIGHTenmentxx3
21:55:15 From MadSanta : wow you got me good

21:56:39 From MadSanta : and why would a leader of the guild spell his name wrong fail

personally I'm glad Grumpy implemented tabbed chat because now I can keep up with the lovely world chat if I feel like suffering (and participate in impromptu amar development discussions) and if not I just don't hit that tab and let the slime slink back into the sewer.

Yeah, this is a nice change. World chat is unbearable to have shoved in your face, but it's fun to poke them once in awhile, or at least be able to check in if other goons mention some shenanigans.
