I for one like the update. It doesn't reduce the game to daisies and roses, no way. Just be patient, wait your 12 hours and then rinse the guy. There's plenty of people out there to mug, why target one person?
You know what, you raise a very good point, one that was particularly relevant to me.
I was subjugated to incessant bountying on start-up, which subsequently caused me to become inactive for some 1200 days. That's 3-4 years or so, 3-4 years where I would've been donating to the game. I think that's the 'business' aspect you are referring to?
Why was I target? Just a vendetta some lady had towards me after I approached her with some nooby questions. I would actually concede that I may have been deserving of some punishment, but the perpetual hospital stays made logging in pointless. What a shame it was that there was absolutely no protection to me during this time. I can't be the only case!
My only reason for returning is because I always loved TC - I had an account in 2006 way back when.
Nevertheless, bountying is part and parcel of the game, and so, there really was or is no grounds to complain. But a little protection, or etiquette, as aforementioned, would've prolonged my participation, benefiting Torn as a business.
I personally couldn't care less what beer people drink so long as they aren't the aforementioned 'pretentious'. In my eyes, drink your posh ales, but bring a grounded personality along with it!
I like it - one thing I'd change, although this may not improve it in any way, but it would be ironically comical if the criminal, mugged the same balding bloke in the evening.
Moreover, have you been to the church and seen that dodgy look on that priests face? Always makes me smirk that, he's dodgy as hell that one. If you emulated Mr Priests face into the comic, in some way, then maybe the Torn Gods (pun) would accept it.
Incidentally, I've just got my forgiven merit so....... PRAISE THE LORD! >_<

Tbf, I've donated a few spondoolies during my time playing. I'm not to fussed about the colour of my name, but for the sake of not sitting on the fence, it would be pretty cool to have. Makes you feel a bit of love dunt it ;)
I would say I've donated a sum of around $50. Not a lot, but does any donation amount really warrant a blue name? The perks of donating are the E and points, no?
