I have never been in a game where the outcome was determined by hammers, dousing rods and gem generators. I've heard a lot of stories about how bad they are. I've heard people who have never played in MP games with these items tell me how bad they are. Few have even attempted to explain properly why and how these items have a 'negative influence.' It's like their eyes glaze over, then they start spewing some hyperbolic morality tale filled with circular logic.

Don't use gem gens...
'Coz they're bad...M'Kay?..
So don't use gem gens...
'Coz they're baaaad...




I'm eagerly awaiting totally honest accounts of the Turtle Gods shuffling their hundreds of Clams throughout their dozens of forts while cackling evilly and ruining everyone's fun. No really, I have not heard that story before...
