Ok, I may be an idealist and a bit naive too, but I really resent these
"powerhour start" suggestions or whines how something triggers them, or
how some people refuse to party so they won't "ruin their powerhours".

When I proposed and introduced the power hour system, the goal of it was
to motivate people who play Bat only occasionally, so that they could
feel that they are actually gaining something. The goal was never (tho I
did realize that it will happen) to boost already active players in
optimizing their exp patterns.

Now, I realize that some of you active players already use the power-
hours for your benefit, and that's fine. But please, don't request us
to somehow optimize it even more for you, by adding commands that let's
you chose when it begins etc, because that whole system wasn't even
intended for you. Personally, my motivation for adding such features
for you is close to zero, and I'm more likely to just disable the whole
system in that case. As mentioned, the reason the system is in place is
to support people who have very limited time to play bat, and/or only
play bat sporadically, yet don't want to be left too far behind our
addicts.

I'd like to add that in addition to what Gore said above, the power hour isn't
solely because we want to be "nice" to the people who cannot devote their
entire life to bat. It does however help prevent tune issues that in turn
cause the game to be a game which requires total life devotion (hey I'm not
against that, just don't want to require it)
