That'd be an interesting experiment, though. "I will pay you this much to refuse an equivalent amount of donations." Or an ebay alternative that let you pay them an amount relative (or equal) to someone else's bid to cancel said bid. I'd be terribly surprised if either system could stay fiscally viable, but it might be neat to check...

It's been entirely stable on my side of things. Performance seems to degrade after a while (though reloading the world seems to help, for a bit), but I haven't had any crashes yet, despite leaving the game open for, like. 24 hours straight and stuff like that. Haven't actually noticed any major memory leaks, either. Seems to be staying in the 600-800 megs of ram usage area, from what I can recall noticing so far.

Grandfather has somehow managed to get an entire rug stick in the lawnmower blades.

Now I get to pull it out. At least it's only 85 out there...

Finally offed the twins in expert. Wasn't that bad with buffs going and a nice asphalt runway to charge up and down.

... there's also now a railway from the starting spawn point (where I built all the NPC housing) and the western ocean. Took... something like 1400 track, I think? Full stack, plus about 4-500. Super minecart maxes out 102 mph according to the speedometer. About to test and see if swiftness potions effect it :V

Also yeah, going through that many chunks that quickly makes my FPS plummet. It's kinda' hilarious. You can feel the game going, "SHiiiiit what are you doing stahp"

Fakeedit: Swiftness potion does not, in fact, effect the minecart. Sadness. Also it takes about 22 seconds by rail to get from far west end of the map to the middle of it ^_^

... less, to get from the middle to the west. Booster tracks <3

Actual edit: Oh hey, I didn't know you could get multiple flying dutchmen in a single pirate invasion! That's neat. Also the minecart laser thing kinda' shreds -- hella' damage on the thing, if you can keep it pointed in the right direction. Just blew up pretty much all of a pirate invasion by chucking possessed axes at pirates from my railway, occasionally burning one to bits with cartlaser, which managed to cut off something like a quarter to a half of a dutchman's health off in one pass. It was interesting!

... 22 fish fished before one bait gave out.* Including 5 (wood) crates! Still don't have angler's pants (or whatever they are) and wasn't using fishing potion. This... this is getting silly. Golden bug net's amusing, though.

In news beyond that, my jungle can just go jump of a gorram bridge. Freaking thing's high enough up it gets wyverns. Regularly. Harpies come down to play just walking across the damn thing. Viciously irritating, had to terraform the "underground" (i.e. several dozen blocks below the jungle's top, but still in the surface layer ) just so I could bloody fish.

... in other news, I have discovered mimics in the hallow can teleport. And they do. Directly on top of you. Repeatedly. *#$%.

There we go. Actually remember the medicare and clear skies things a lil', now that you mention it. That's a bit more clear cut, so thanks.

Not quite sure that makes 'im as close to center as Obama is, but that better explains where some of the fuss was coming from.

And ironically, both are much closer to the other side than they're ever given credit for.

... what did GWB do that was crypto-leftist, again?
