I am glad you made an exception and quite pleased to hear my word selection is appreciated by you. The feeling is mutual and i must admit that your particular style and sarcasm has grown on me in my absence from active play.
As you may have gathered from some of my latest remarks,i left Dcity because i was dissapointed in the lack of developments on the investment part of the game and missed opportunities. Also i was frustrated that any input given seemed to fall on barren ground.
With the shifted focus on holding rewards my enthousiasm slowly recovered, as i think that's the economic model that fits the bill perfectly for sustainable growth of the game, as long as it is backed by actual investments with an actual yield. And when i finally realised that the APR in Hive was invertedly proportional to the price of sim (higher apr with lower sim price) i realised that ia better sim/hive peg had emerged. Dcity might not be a dead horse, but rather a crippled pony, in need of a vet and some decent fattening up.
For the first time in a long while i started buying cards again instead of just sellng them off. The investment side of the game is still vague and non-transparent, but there is enough to sustain a balanced peg (not so much on your tax levels) and opportunities a plenty to fatten up the pot. But those will likely remain missed opportunities as i see little happening on idea or investment level.
Maybe i have gone a bit off track wth this comment, starts to look like a post.
My replies are not limited to a format. Still plenty points raised were addressed, if you read between the lines a bit. But i might draft a bulletpoint, direct response to address each pont raised with the attention befitting to non horse manure remarks in a format more to your liking.
