I try to be a staunch supporter of the unpaid immortal and their hard, valiant work on this mud. I get that nobody pays you, you do it for some odd and masochistic urge to help people who mostly just insult you. I try not to be one of those guys. That's why I deleted the first two posts about this topic before posting them. Too angry.
Still... by 'fixing' the stat system after 2 days playtime, you've just invalidated a full weekend's play (commonly, actually a full weekend, with 4-8 hours sleep total) by your hardest-playing constituents. You've created an underclass of the uselessly statted who have a choice to either a. stick it out knowing they're missing 2-4 points in stats on their *primary stats* they would otherwise have had you not bapted the dog originally, or b. re-roll and consider the wasted 48+hours online as a sunk cost.
There needs to be a third option, whereupon you admit that you bapted the dog, and that your players shouldn't have to give up time and work because of your failure. Right now, I, most of my clan, and I imagine a *lot* of other players are so angry they could chew cars and shit nails.
