Btw if you get so mad only if a bot counter could become a real thing for the game, this thing teaches a lot about you.

This is just an Internet forum Martin. No one is angry.

Looking forward to the update this week, most likely it'll be interesting: my guess from the hint with soap is that Onep finally wore down the devs with his never-ending request for more tedium so we'll have to clean the toons on a regular basis from then on (soap, bathtub, washboard, clothes line), with the geometric average of water and soap used to clean the character and his clothing, softcapping (no increase, just cap) the stats, attributes and quality of the clothing (including attached gildings) - failure to bath and wash will lead to 'stinking' debuff severely limiting charisma, refusal of horses to carry you and infections with lice and scabies gnawing away your HHP.

That sounds... wonderful.

"Soap wasn't made and use for bathing and personal hygiene but was rather produced for cleaning cooking utensils or goods or was used for medicine purposes".

So i guess we'll have infections...but the real question is how to make soap? We have cauldron and ash but we need animal fats also....so maybe even food decaying and preserved meat?
We'll see, it will be interesting for sure...

Lard from pigs was the most popular and straightforward suggestion here.

Can't wait to contract tuberculosis or polio and have my village spend the entirety of their time online caring for my failing health.

Ahhh, this reminds me of that «Corrupted Blood» fumble when Blizzard added a deadly desease to WoW, and the players took that to heart, spreading it in every town using pets (who were unaffected) and other abuses, causing thousands of deaths. Good times.

Huh, that gives me an idea about the Sevilla...

I its a bathing and cleanness update, yes if you want to make things out you bath a lot. But if your good enough in game then you can look like Pigpen and walk around with a concealing cloud of dirt.

To be honest I don't think I can take any more mechanics on top of mechanics, satiations as one example. That's not fun content.
