Hold on, hold your horses, wheres the, nope option on that poll? Anywho, onto the critisizim.

First of all, if it rains hard enough in real life for a lightning storm to occur, theres not just going to be a couple strikes then the storm is over. That's just insane. A max of three is no where near realistic. I'm pretty sure if ANYONE happens to be on goldrock/lynx(Whichever you call it) and lightning strikes the island, EVERYTHING is going to be decimated, EVEN IF they are inside the cave. Roblox explosion physics ignore walls. 30x30x30 is way too big, you'll have to nerf it down MORE. I'm pretty sure 15x15x15 is still a bit overkill too. Furthermore, how does a stone building have more chance of getting struck than a wooden building? Basically your logic states that INSTEAD of building a stone warehouse, you want to go with a WOOD one. For effeciency. Thank you. No seriously, anyone else found some broken logic in that? Also, a lightning bolt homing in on a player with armor is just too much for me, honestly. I think thats a bit overpowered. But anyways, heres my main rant about that, you ignored woven vests and rockma armor. Okay, no one cares about rockma armor, but still, IF this gets added, woven vests, quivers, rockma armor, and leather armor should not raise the chances of getting struck. If anything, reinforced versions of armor should have less of a chance of getting struck than their entirely metal counterparts. Here is my example of why this should not be added:

The mithril gods of the server are having a predefence rally


 * lightning strikes them and destroys their armour*


 * noobs with steel charge in*

GG. Need I say more?

I don't understand how having a person's armor be destroyed is going to stop them from ruling the server. *cough cough* RANGED *cough cough*. Even if this did stop pros from ruling a server, why would we want that? If this kept decimating people's equiptment, no one would have decent armor because zeus forbade it. That means little to no pvp for pros. Besides, no one wants to spend their entire day running away from storms and taking cover in caves.

Anyways, in conclusion, I ask that you the community vote against lightning being implemented into the game.

I don't think having a chat message saying that somone died is really worth it, it'll just get anoyying to see after a while. Eventually it will probably get taken down, like the "Ask not who for the bell rings for" messsage did.

All this nerfery doesn't even address one of the problems that most of the community previously saw as a reason to vote against lightning, which was that if a bolt of lightning struck the ocean, lots and lots of people who were swimming would DIE, effectively rendering swimming useless. You might be asking: Well what proof do you have of this?

Here are some quotes from the reddit: KingPatzer

 "Lightning striking the water will generally not penetrate the water but a few inches, it will instead fan out over the surface."

Okay, so now you might be saying, I don't care if he said that, he isn't an expert!

Well... "I'm a scuba instructor and I've frequently been in lakes during bad weather.", says Patzer. EVEN THOUGH he says that "L ightning striking the water will generally not penetrate the water", that still doesn't mean that swimming isn't obsolite. Most people who play S303 swim on the surface at all times if possible, they don't walk on the bottom of the ocean or do a hybrid of both unless neccesary, so that statement is null and void in this case.

Anywho, in conclusion, I hope you the community, vote against having this implemented.
