::::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) | ::::1) Plants can still be "stripped", no?

:::::Well, for the sake of completeness, regarding point 1: No, they can't entirely, hence I've included the word entirely. Point 2: There is no issue with -not- including this year either, for reasons I've already stated. However, I agree it would be entirely beneficial to include this specific year, even if the lack of it isn't harmful either. Anyone is free to add that if they want. Point 3: To be frank, I don't think the readers could care less since the point of the phrase remains successfully conveyed. Point 4: The ability to harvest could be revoked, yes. This can also be looked up via documentation.

::::::I'm not sure what you mean by "entirely". If you mean plants can no longer be harvested down to zero, well of course they can (hence the "This plant is already fully harvested for the season." message). If you mean entire removal of the plant from a room (i.e. "stripharvesting"), that was something that ceased to exist long before the big overhaul with PLANTS. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 02:26, 2 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
:::::::Ah! Ok. My notion was that when you "harvest fully for the season", the plant is -not- stripped/removed/eradicated entirely from the room: It will return to grow back from "sparse" independently, unlike before, where if it was harvested down to zero, it would stay that way. (Even if it was isolated apart from others in its environment whereby plants would "diffuse" across the rooms if unharvested for longer periods of time.) Thus you can no longer strip a room's plants entirely, because you do not need someone planting to make it return (it's always there). Am I making any sense?

::::::::You make sense, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. For a long while, harvesting down to 0 did not remove the plant from the room entirely; this used to be the case ("stripharvesting"), but long ago, herbs were changed to always grow back from 0 - because Oakstone did not apply its laws to blueberries, they perpetually being harvested down to 0 (but always growing back) is an example of this, not an exception. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 18:10, 2 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
:::::::Eep! Ok let's see. I'm going to try and grab someone to verify that, and if that's the case, I'll remove that phrase entirely and replace it with something else. [[User:Asara|Asara]] 20:58, 2 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
