I would like to inform
everyone that, whilst spamming the Devout pelt may well be very fun and amusing, especially because the statues are moving, but I would like to ask, on the behalf of myself and many, many others, that you don't.
This is because:
1) It causes a huge amount of lag just under normal circumstances, let alone when there are so many players and with the ABIOGENESIS effects. The terrible lag can force people away from the action, or cause the frame rate to plummet to ridiculous levels. Casting the devout pelt on people has even been known to make TEF and computers crash.
2) The devout cast noise is so sharp and that much louder than other noises, that when it is cast a lot the effect of the ABIOGENESIS music is ruined, not to mention the horrible glitchy noise of devout being cast in quick succession, and it can give people a headache.
3) If the Player Effects are turned off in an attempt to stop the Devout pelt, then the Abio effects are lost. If Other Players Visible is turned off to escape it being cast on you or seen to be cast, then you lose all your friends and the Gods.
4) Anyone trying for the BAN pelt have their chances ruined, as the Devout pelt, when it wears off, takes any temporary pelts with it.
I hope that everyone can understand this, and that this is not a personal slight against
them, but for everyones benefit.
Thankyou!
(bumped this because I had to abandon the Harvest Moon Gathering because of Devout lag, and it reminded me of this)
Is it working for you guys? 
Anyone that knows that?
