Could luck (I know it exists. I do! yes!) _not_ rocket down when you're
just idling. Please? It's kinda funky when I wait for customers (as a merchant
has to) online, my luck drops down to something ridiculous and everything
starts failing with a statistically impossible rate compared to the
skill/spell%

So, could you please please atleast:
a) Make Arches Favour increase your luck permanently, or atleast reset
it to a status quo after death or a few day idling period.
b) Stop luck from dropping when idling
c) Give us a way to increase our luck without killing mobs.
* Note: A wiz told in a public channel that saccing stuff does _not_
increase your luck each time. So even that is futile.

And as a final question: BatMUD is loosing players fast. Why do you
still punish people for idling (with clones, luck reduce and other stuff).
Idlers and chatters atleast bring life, if not economy and assets.

Thank you,

Did it ever occur to you that luck (if such a thing exists!) does
not perhaps work like this?

I don't know better, I've not seen the code. All I know, is that
for example there is such things as melody of the misadventurer
that does apeshit to your "luck". I know that sometimes if you
check your spell/skill-rates, they are worse after multiple deaths
and/or moon phases.

But, I've been here long enough to notice that there is some
factor that gives a random factor for everything. Fine, so be
it. If you're not about to do anything to give us a chance to
control this at any rate, atleast stop screwing with people
who want to idle here and watch the chat when they're not
present at the keyboard at any given time.
