Does anybody get medals anymore?
Got, I just give those medals to people who are talking in the realms and those I found interesting, fun and trusted. So go on, continue talking in the realm and make things interesting in game, who know, someone will reward you with medals
Back on topic though. Roleplay as a Sub-Board on its own is nice, it used to gather a lot of followers back then. Under Local board, people may not read it as people have their own islands preference to read...
About closing island. Do take the Uniqueness of islands into account and each other players input. For example, some islands have like 1 turn a day is good for older players or those who prefer playing slow. Maybe we can drown those rogue regions instead, redraw maps though I know this likely to be rejected.
