Yeah im just throwing ideas cuz what J&L imagined was a beautiful game, but reality turned out to be much different and I cant understand why just not abadon parts of game that are not working and throw in some stuff that will benefit game in long run ...
Snail will be snailing no matter how hard you try to fight him, but there is always point in this game where all hardtrys are leaving and you finally have a community of 30 ppl who would actually enjoy this "social mechanics" but they are left with abadoned world meant for 2000 bots. Why not make this 30 ppl become hunderd and keep game alive all year round. Winter for hardtrys, summer for hermits or smth.
And btw - real life social mechanics align perfectry with events, how tf you meet people in rl, you run thru fuckin forest naked for a week before you encounter pali and you wait there another week until someone pops up on minimap ?
