the game, not boss you around. We have taken great care to break
the normal 'immortals ruin your day' syndrome. The Caretakers
are meant to maintain and provide a fair and fun environment for

for they breed overzealous players."

Did you know that one of the most expensive (and best, and rarest) coffee grinds in the world comes from those beans that have passed through the digestive system of the Indian Common Palm Civet? (It's a cat/monkey type thing that eats only the ripest coffee cherries from the coffee trees, and then excretes them (intact). And whatever happens to the beans in the digestive system, gives them a really good flavour. So people collect the excreted coffee beans and thus came Kopi Luwak, US$300/pound)
