Why isn't the first sentence in past tense? The second sentence is grammatically incorrect. "harvesters found that they could no longer strip a room's plants entirely" is not a true statement (for more reasons than one, given the multiple definitions of "strip"), and "rooms" is an OOC concept. This article also doesn't mention when the rules of overharvesting were implemented, so to call it "one of the most longest-standing Achaean ordinances" (which is, incidentally, very awkward wording) makes little sense when only the end date is provided. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 01:18, 1 May 2008 (GMT) | Why isn't the first sentence in past tense?

:Ok. The first sentence isn't in past tense because the definition of overharvesting hasn't changed. I don't personally see anything wrong with the second sentence. The third sentence is true, because indeed harvesters can no longer strip a room's plants - "strip" is used correctly within its boundries of definitions, i.e. to possess/deprive/plunder. The third sentence makes sense because it is indeed one of the longest standing ordinances and you can verify this information in the realms. [[User:Asara|Asara]] 02:32, 1 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
