Catastrophies - Set a limit so there's a place for everyone
This might be very Hufflepuff of me, ironicly enough, but I think it would be nice, if you had to wait 2-3 catastrophies before you could take one again.
The way I see it you could have been a leader for a long time and know the answers through your work and after that take all the catastrophies, making it difficult for others to even have a chance, because you have an unfair advantage and others have no chance.
I don’t know if it’s possible, but if you have to wait it would give others a chance. I think, if we shall be open for new users, that there has to be a limet… In my eyes it should be a lot more than just 2-3 but I’m trying to make a way between. I just don’t think it’s fair that it’s 90% the same person who takes it all and it don’t make it very open for other users.
Sorry for bad english

Our rules on WoPDE state that each user (not character!) may resolve only one catastrophe per day. This rule has worked very well, and in recent years such cases have hardly occurred at all. :)

This is a good idea and an easy way to solve the problem without any technical work for the developers.

I completely agree with this, it will make it fun for all users to catch the catastrophes and get the trill, rush and excitement out of them. Great idea with some kind of cooldown!

completely agree with this a cooldown would give new players a greater change to get points when the catastrophise happens
