Hi guys!
I'm just the regular lurker who all of a sudden thinks he has something 
to say.
I haven't so much as looked at the code even once, so I may be sooo 
wrong. But it's a simple suggestion so I'll give it a shot.

Why not just halt the game time instead of changing all the events?
Make a simple wrapper for the current timer implementation and it's done.
Hope I'm not taking up your time for nothing.

And by the way..
I played through Wastes Edge, and it rocks! So I'm really looking 
forward to the next release!
I would join your effort, but I sortof have enough projects on my hands 
already :P
