Difference between revisions of "Talk:Overharvesting"

:::Ok. Form up! First point: "overharvesting" doesn't exist anymore as a physical possibility, but the concept is still understood/remembered/hasn't changed. Thus what "overharvesting" is is indeed the harvesting of plants below an Oakstone defined number, regardless of whether you can do it anymore or not. Second point: if it helps, trying reading it like so: "Those who chose to exploit nature in this manner risked Oakstone enemy status, risked having the wrath of the forests set against them, and risked losing the ability to harvest plants." whereby the elements of the list are follow-ups to the word "risked" and "risked" is not exclusive to the first element phrase. Third point: your argument does not seem to contradict my usage of the word "strip". Can you clarify for me? Fourth point: this argument does not seem to contradict my statement for this either. Can you clarify this for me also? Hope that helps! [[User:Asara|Asara]] 04:33, 1 May 2008 (GMT)

::::1) Plants can still be "stripped", no? That is the basic point. 2) There is no reason not to include the year the concept of "overharvesting" was introduced, since it didn't "exist" from the start of the Modern Age. 3) Yes, I know about "risked". The issue remains that you shouldn't have some of the three be nouns and others be action nouns (gerunds). 4) On a new note, Oakstone doesn't actually have the power to remove the ability to harvest, does it? --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 04:53, 1 May 2008 (GMT)
