Don't you waste one AP if trying to use a medkit on s.o. who already has max HP? --Excogitation 23:21, 12 July 2007 (BST)
What time does the turn over for viewing the main game 160 times happen?
Although I cannot say for certain, I'd assume 00:00 GMT. - --FengShoe! 18:43, 6 July 2006 (BST)

Actually, you're both right for opposite halves of the year. When Daylight Savings Time is done, BST reverts to GMT. --SirensT RR 04:00, 17 July 2006 (BST)

Just Some Noise about AP Consumption
Why is it that being told that you cannot use an item consumes an Action Point? I don't have a shotgun yet, and it's been a while since I've played this game so I wanted to see if there was any flavor text for clicking on a shotgun shell without one. Sadly, there was none, and it consumed my final point for the day.
In in-game terms my character pulled out a slug, looked at it intently and promptly fell asleep. And I know that I should be viewing it more as a game abstract -- but I like playing games. I like playing this game. A game that, in a very real sense, has a time limit each day you log in. From an RPG perspective, it just feels sloppy when the game taxes you over things that arbitrary —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Punchbattle (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.
