Why 7.
« on: July 04, 2017, 09:26:24 pm »
Time to earn me some DCD.

Why Idling for 7 mins. why not 10. Why is 7 so special. You can to much in 7 min but you can do a lot in 10


But most of all it take more the 7 mins to make a proper cup of tea or coffee

I'm classing this as spam, while not exactly written in the rules, a list of 50 random things you can do in 10 minutes adds no value to this post. Repeated behaviour will result in an official warning ~Victix11

They don't want people going AFK at spawners and such. It used to be at 5 minutes without warning, at least you have an extra 2 minutes now. You can always logout and then back in if you need to.

What jj said is correct. The exact reason that it became 7 minutes is because of the rule jj mentioned, getting kicked for inactivity at exactly 5 minutes. When the admins were kind enough to add the warning to that, they kept the 5 minutes that was there before, placed the warning at that point, and then added a 2 minute grace period to allow you to return from afk status. This equals out to 7 minutes (yay I can math! do maths! perform mathification! uhh, mathify... I give up).  Anyway, 7 minutes was not an arbitrary number just dreamed up one day, it was merely a result of circumstances, development, and progress happening across the timeline of the server's existence.

Oh, my guess was 7 is just a magical number :-)
