Quality of Life Wishlist for MD
It would be nice to have a list of what marigolds ive picked while dead, and the timer until the next time I can pick each flower. I already have my own version of this info I keep updated, but having it client side would be a kindness I would appreciate.

Gotta Train em all - PRI-MOR-DIA-ALS
Tamagotchi, by any other name. How odd, that history repeats itself indefinitely if we simply wait long enough. I rather like your idea on this subject. It has my upvote. Here is my own. A Primordial Update Idea If numbers or details need to be adjusted, that can be left up to Mur and Mur alone.

Tax the auctions!
Let's look at the mechanics of the Auction House plainly... from the perspective of those who actually manufacture and sell goods, rather than just those who buy them. The Real Pros of the Auction House 1. Asynchronous trade. Matches buyers and sellers across incompatible time zones without requiring both to stand at the Gazebo for six hours. 2. Liquidity & Fair Value. Public exposure allows natural market competition to determine the price of rare items. 3. Transaction security. Eliminates courier trust issues, multi-step trades, and escrow scams. The Real Cons of the Auction House 1. Zero bulk trade support. Moving 40 candies, 20 pickles, or resource crates one lot at a time is completely unviable. 2. Escrow paralysis. Currency and assets are locked in limbo for days during active Sudden Death 12 hour bidding cycles. 3. Zero trade discretion. No blacklist or privacy options to prevent bad faith bidders from tying up your lots. 4. Information exposure. Public ledgers expose merchant margins, inventory volumes, and supply lines to competitors. ~~~ Regarding the Proposed Tax: A Transfer is Not a Coin Sink: @Chewett claims this tax is meant to "remove coin from the market." Yet the proposal states the tax is paid directly to the Treasure Keepers. Funneling gold into the pockets of a player role is not a currency sink... it is an automated tithe. A true coin sink removes it from the realm outright (IE the Pickle Man or Willows Shop). Furthermore, the Treasure Keepers exist to handle realm events and distributions. When they need backing for official events, quests, or holiday rewards, they are already directly funded by other more reliable sources. They do not need, and should not have, an automated commission siphoned off everyday player commerce. Paying a player role for an automated script they don't even operate makes zero sense. The Only Logical Destination would be Sovereign Land Treasuries. If an automated convenience tax must be implemented, it should serve the geopolitical reality of the realm, not a player role. Route the tax directly into the Land Treasury of the citizen paying it. - If a Golemian conducts the transaction, the tax goes to the Golemus Golemicarum Treasury. - If a Marind Bellian conducts the transaction, it goes to Marind Bell. - If an Easterner conducts the transaction, it goes to the Lands of the East. Etc and so on. And if you need to make new treasury's, make them. A lack of capitol or Treasury is no excuse. This solves multiple long standing issues simultaneously. it actively funds the Lands and the theorized building expansions we've talked about sparsely over the years, provides rulers with resources to finance land projects and citizen initiatives, and ties economic productivity directly to land allegiance. It turns an annoying administrative fee into meaningful factional fuel. The Producer's Reality. Else pointed out that 1,615 Gold moved through the house in 30 days. A 10% tax would have extracted 161 Gold in a single month. Chewett admitted he accounted for a third of that purchasing volume (~538 Gold). If this tax is implemented on the sellers, high tier producers and bulk craftsmen will simply close their stalls. We will walk off the auction floor and take our high value trade back to private, direct exchanges where there is no 10% penalty. The Auction House will become an abandoned lot hosting nothing but sub 10 silver scraps. If buyers want the convenience of an automated matchmaker and are willing to pay a premium for it, make it a buyer's surcharge that funds their homeland's Treasury. But do not tax the producers to subsidize an administrative role that is already backed by the System of the Realm. I'm still against this tax overall. But if you feel a need to implement it regardless, that is the only form I would accept.

Tax the auctions!
I'm not tipping the mcdonalds worker for the fully automated mcdonalds ordering machine. I'll go back to trading person to person if this happens. It's all the same to me.

I'd like to be able to sell stacks of consumables using a single auction slot. If I have 10 Rainbow Candy for example, instead of selling 10 candy separately for 1 silver each, I'd like to be able to sell a stack of 10 candy for 10 silver. As long as all consumables align with remaining uses etc, it seems apt.

This is quite nice. Could we get an extra section to block Auction comments? Or just one box that "blocks everywhere"? The listed + mood panel reactions, etc?

Draining the MDA basement
Hrm... I like this idea. Small fractions that don't actually accumulate any technical growth, means we'd have to train our waterhandling elsewhere if we desire to do so, and only use the fractions as milestone markers... Fascinating. As long as collecting the waste water doesn't drop my other leanings, I'm in. Honestly, between me and @nadrolski alone we should be just fine.

Draining the MDA basement
I've finished testing both pressure plates. Neither seems to affect the flooding, sadly. Both paths take 2 days btw, not a week, my apologies. I would recommend 10,000 at least. If we genuinely come together as a community, it shouldn't be a problem. All I ask is this be the one time gathering doesn't raise or lower any leanings. I want to help, but I'm not about to flavor blast the rest of my leanings just to get my waterhandling from 89 to 100 while tanking every other leaning I actually care about.

We already have SilverTongue. I don't think we need a stronger version of SilverTongue.

Could we get a total after our count for certain items with worldly limitations? Like the candy, imprinted darks, etc. If I have 40, I'd like to be able to see 40/x where x is the maximum allowed in the realm. It would also be nice to be able to see how many are in the realm currently, so I can tell when I'm allowed to make more items.

Currently the system also lets you know how many over max heat orbs you have stored. As long as that gets ported too, this seems like a fantastic compression layout.

Mine actually auto compact 2 by 2. I'm on mobile Brave Browser. Maybe try using the Brave Browser? 🤔

At the moment, the Spammer Score only seems to read the Reactions. Could we have it adjusted to also read the auction lot replies? And on that same note, could we have the mute function for a player be permanent and not just session bound? As well as have the mute function deny the muted player access to the public logs, auction logs, mood panel reactions, etc of the player who muted them?
