About the alcohol/bouquet question:
I decided to do a little research on this on. I believed it was correct for all alcoholic beverages, but it turns out that is not so.
I'll start with a few quotes from the web
"Bouquet ( /buːˈkeɪ/, French: [bu.kɛ]) : The layers of smells and aromas perceived in a wine"
"Bouquet, bottle bouquet
As a technical term, the smells that develop with age in the wine bottle, as opposed to "aroma," the smells associated with the fruit."
A long list of quotes
Reading further leads me to the conclusion that bouquet only applies to the smell of red wine, and according to some sources only to the smell of aged red wine.

That might be so, but your blood consists loads of iron, in fact it's pretty vital to your survival. Hydrogen is also abundant in every cell in your body, so calling it poisonous is the same as calling water poisonous, literally. Titanium is used in most sunscreen and loads of cosmetics, as well as in jewelery, and body implants, precisely because it's non-toxic, that leaves mercury. I sure wouldn't want any of that on my skin or in my food.
Which of these is poisonous?
Iron
Mercury
Titanium
Hydrogen
Obviously, you wouldn't want to be drinking mercury. But I'm sure the other options would do pretty much the same thing to you if you ingest them.

I have "lost" a few adventures due to no responce from the server.
What happens is that I press the buton to do the adventure, but nothing happens and eventually the browser times out, when I go back to the adventures page the adventure I failed to enter is inactive so I have to wait till the next day to try it again. But the "your last adventure" button shows the result of the adventure before the one that failed to load.

Yes it does. My apologies. I misread!
Advantages of premium membership:
much quicker hit point regeneration
if you lose in a duel, less soul-energy is taken from you than from mortal fellows
25% more action points is available for premium players
the number of action points is restricted to 400 instead of 250
I think that settles that one

What was the loudest event to have happened on earth?
Volcano – Krakatoa
Tunguska Meteor
1 Ton TNT Bomb
Blue Whale
The earth have been hit by a lot of much larger meteors since it was formed, so the question should be: What is the loudest event to have been recorded on earth?
I find sources saying that it was Krakatoa and sources saying it was Tunguska. Haven't found any scientific sources though.

Pirates
Wolves
Vikings <- marked as correct

And a "misspelling"
Which is heavier: 1000 dkg of cotton or 10 kg of iron?
1000 dkg of cotton
They are the same weight
It can not be said
10 kg of iron
There is no internationally recognised unit called dkg. The unit for 10g is dag, but dag is not videly used anywhere, so I guess it would be better to change it to 1000g and 1kg respectively.

Regarding how the Tower of Power works:
As long as you NEVER possessed the highest level ToP, you get a bonus to building it. If you possess it - even only for one day - the building cost will be normal.
This rule was invented when on the primary servers some clans has reached a ToP level 400, and lesser clans had no chance to catch up with them. This rule does very little on a world where the ToP is level 2 or something like that, because the moment you build it, you will probably own it very soon.
If someone owns the ToP, it will lose 1 level every day. On your world, someone build up the ToP to a level, but did not care about upkeeping it, let it lose its levels day by day. So let's say, they built it to level 30, and it lost 1 level each day. When it went down to level 2, they get to the same level as your ToP. because at that moment they already possessed it for 28 days, in that case of tie of course you became "possessors".
Rest assured, when ToP of level 2 compete with each other, it's completely impossible to keep the building bonus, because you will possess it in an eyeblink. But as good news, building level 2 takes only a minimum amount of SE so it doesn't matter if you have building bonus or not. It would matter if you had to catch up with a level 400 ToP.
This is all clear and according to the description, but what is not is what happens when two clans have the same level of ToP and neither have ever had possesion of it (or had it for the same lenght of time). The old description said neither clan would gain the benefit/penalty, the new description simply doesn't say what will happen.
What happened on W2 was that one clan had the ToP for 28 days before it reached lvl 2, while two other clans each had a ToP level of 2 while neither had had possesion of the highest ToP. In this case it's aparently either random or the clan with the largest Soul-well, the most players, or some other unknown factor, that decides who gets possesion.

Several of the buildings have descriptions that are wrong, here are two of them.
Dimension Gate:
Level 1 DG gives 1 dimension gate [point] once every 8 hours, each additional level decreases this by 20 mins. You can use these points as you like, but you can't have more points than the level of the Dimension Gate, and you can activate it once an hour.
The dimension gate can be activated every 20 minutes not every hour.
At level 1 you get one DG point every 2h 40min, this is reduced by 6min 40sec per additional level.
Edit: You can still only store as many points as the level of the DG, but it should be 3*level, not one per level.
Catalyst:
The soul-well is normally charged from 0 to maximum during 1 week (it does not depend on size). The catalyst is speeding up this process: each level decreases the charge time and thus the regeneration speed by 8 hours. Maximum level: 15.
The base time for charging the soul well is 3 days 8 hrs, if each level decreases this by 8 hours, level 10 Catalyst would cause the soul-well to be instantly filled, allowing the clan that get's there 1st to instantly build all buildings to max. So that should be "... speed up by 2h 40min."
