Why is this bad for the game though Larry? To me it sounds like it's only bad for the players like you at the top of the food chain, which is basically what you said in the other post and left me to assume I had the gist down. I'd like to think you guys really aren't everything Insidious has you cracked out to be, but you're kinda making it tough now.

This is bad for the game because witness statement drops protect more people than they convict. 

In the coming weeks/months you will see a slew of deaths of people who haven't proven themselves and no longer have a lack of witness statements to fall back on for protection.

If people had no hope before, they will have even less hope in the future once this kicks in.

In an ideal world, people would be motivated by this and go out of their way to prove themselves, but I highly suspect people will just do what they've always done and cry about it when they die instead. 

Indubitably - On another note, purchased w/s are still giving npc statements.

They will continue to be purchasable until all of the Statements prior to this change have been fed into/bought out of the system.

this is too good to pass up, prepare for the incoming obligatory block quote

because witness statement drops protect more people than they convict. 

Hahahaha.

If people had no hope before, they will have even less hope in the future once this kicks in.

I didn't realise it was possible to have negative/minus hope.

You lot ain't even trying any more are you?

I don't think game mechanics should be implemented or withheld from the game based on a power structures way of running the game for a limited time. And all you're giving me is stuff that relates to how you guys are holding shit down. What happens when you guys are on the other side? Wouldn't you want a fighting chance no matter how slim it is? 

Submitted too early.

The game becomes inherently "harder" for you guys at the top with info being cut off, and you're out here saying these changes are bad for the rest of us all because you guys as the powers at be refuse to adapt and you're going to kill us. I don't understand any of this "logic" if you can call it that.
