Hello!
Thank you for the beautiful game. I have a suggestion, to make the game more viable. You should manage a way to avoid the exploiting of the Something Awaits You in port, waiting a minute next to a port and triggering it multiple times to acquire potentially infinite goods (some examples, and not the most dangerous ones: infinite supplies at the Mangrove College, infinite terror reduction at Visage, both at Pigmote's, terror-fuel-supplies at Frostfound).
Some ideas could be that the SAY cannot be triggered in the same port twice (this will reduce, but not eliminate the problem);
or that the SAY needs a minimum requirement of distance voyaged -not just by circling around the port, but by absolute distance from the point in question (same here, less exploitation but still not the problem eliminated in toto);
setting a fixed number of other ports to visit before making the SAY work again in the previous ports (this would eliminate the problem but maybe render the game counter-intuitive);
a combination of the previos ideas.
Hope this may help you. At the present moment im roleplaying this by not triggering the SAY in the same port twice, but its kind of making the game less feeled, spoiling it.

Do people really do that? It sounds like a very tedious way to play.

I do go back to the same port sometimes. Not to exploit SAY but because I am hanging around to hunt a beastie that spawns in that area.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.
