Fyrd Argentus

If they're not supposed to, the fight log shouldn't say they do...

The box is empty instead of counting down characters left.

I'd love to not have to spend a credit to shuffle, and I would probably buy more actual stuff, the price per item being closer to 1.0 rather than 2.0 if I'm picky. Also, if you have your eye on something and are undecided, the threat of losing it would spur a purchase. I think more credits would get spent with this system, not fewer. This could happen at the time of the tool reset, for simplicity.

Fyrd 187066 iMac OSX Chrome Low priority The numbers that add to the base are in color. This used to be the legend explaining those colors, with little colored squares, now it's wonky.

I have created a character on GWI named Fetch - a dog without human speech (unless OOC). I intend to leave it there, and use it to "befriend" incoming players. What does the official system for crewing GWI look like? Schedules? Shift length? Alerts of arrivals? Feel free to check if I'm available when a need arises. Is there any point to discussing the shared operation of such a character?

Not really. Clay plus straw makes tough bricks. Clay alone makes fragile pottery. These compliment one another.

Marind Bell... Fine grades of clay harvested from the banks of the river Pottery shaping tools for roofing tiles, sewer pipes, pots, cups, and dishes. A kiln to fire any of the above.

Necrovion ....... Get special rocks specifically lime/carbonates using mining tools. Grind & cook in special furnace to give cement. Add rocks, maybe gravel, to get mortar or concrete respectively.

Loreroot.... Harvest bamboo and vines.... using saws and knives Lash them together you have scaffolding.

GG I think... Tar/Oil/Resin => Plastic via some cooking method Plastic through extrusion machine => clear panes (or fiber or nonwoven cloth) Plastic plus sawdust through extrusion machine => tough opaque panels or extruded shape Sand through extrusion machine => glass (or reinforcement fiber which mixed with tar => shingles, with plastic => rigid panels or extruded shapes)

A few comments: 1)How about the death tools not being 100% effective, and that the user has some chance of losing the contest and dying themselves? Absolute power in the hands of players is not balance. 2)We have few enough players without discouraging them with UNWARRANTED or UNWANTED death experiences. The game can be frustrating enough to a newbie. At the very least death tools ought not work on MP3/4. 3)Halloween was my favorite holiday growing up. But now, personally, I am at an age where I have lost 6 grandparents (2 by marriage), a mother, 3 parents-in-law, a wife, a brother, a brother-in-law, a cousin, several colleagues, and a son. I don't need a game to dredge up what will inevitably be an emotional reaction to death. I do not find this a fun or relaxing topic. My apologies if I over-react here, but I will either continue to do so, or will act the jester and change the subject.

[Note from Lasthal, giving his version:] Quite unfortunate, I must admit.Else is indeed under my protection for the week.This means neither samon nor myself would have killed him.Quite the contrary, I'm starting to like him.Consider I offered him my autograph so he could pay for his stay, yesterday he started my spell-doc quest... All in all, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.However, a closer look on Else's public log would reveal this:lashtal about Else~ Day: 273 Year: 15 ~ Found trespassing in Necrovion. ~ Day: 82 Year: 16 ~ Note to self: kill on sight. ~ Day: 144 Year: 16 ~ Necrovion guest for one week.So, Else's death sentence was written over 2 months ago, for repeated trespassing. The fact he met his doom today is pure coincidence.I'll bring him flowers. Others will soon keep him company.All the best, lashtal

Seems to be working for me now in MDA (iMac Chrome OS X) May have just been fixed based on chat...

I am adequately familiar with how bounties normally work. I could well have had an interference thing going on with some other problem blocking proper implementation of the bounty. Obviously this sequence left me confused.

On the wine bottle question, the right answer doesn't work (it did a month ago). None of the allowed answers work.

[Something I wrote in another dream] In reading “The Horse” by Wendy Williams, she points out that very, very few of the animal species in the world could truly be domesticated by mankind, notably dogs, cats, and horses. This is because these animals were adapted to very special ecological niches that required a social behavior. Mankind did not so much change these animals by quote “domesticating” them, rather he learned how to insinuate himself into the instinctive social fabric of these animals. I want to suggest to you that today we hold these animal social models as archetypes of possible social behavior, from which to choose, and that so many of our problems today come from this limiting perspective on how we can choose to treat each other. The horse ranged over arid foothills to find food alone by day, then assembled into herds for protection at night. They learned to constantly talk with each other over long distances about their locations, dangers they saw, and resources they had found -- very social behavior that their lives depended upon. Zebras on the other hand, stayed in herds to feed in lush grasslands like cows, and did not have to develop the horse’s communication skills. For this reason, horses can be domesticated to become mankind’s partners; zebras cannot. The social model of dogs and their ancestors, the wolves, is well known. They hunted in packs to bring down larger game. Their loyalty and status in the pack was everything in their lives. Cats on the other hand have behaviors based on turf and territory regarding resources, personal dignity, and individual relationships with neighboring cats. It is not much of a coincidence that in early Hunter-Gatherer societies, the Hunters adopted the social model of the dogs, and the Gatherers adopted the social model of the cats. And so began the age-old friction between the sexes. But, this conflict did not stop there. The classic example is the clash between the Roman patriarchical society and the Celtic matriarchal society. Roman society stressed rank and loyalty and was well suited to massed military empires. Celts revered personal dignity and bravery, cherished art, and revered their womenfolk, while functioning as isolated tribes or communities. The result was slaughter verging on genocide. You see it today in big business with pseudo-military chains of command, roles, and responsibilities, vs small businesses that are based on making a personal connection with each new customer that walks through the door. You see it today in the spilt between Catholicism and the Protestant Churches. You see it right here in the resistance to growing from a family-size church to a program-based church. And of course, you see it in the politics of the day where half the people can’t comprehend the blind loyalty shown by the other half to their own party. Liberals favor the individual and demand principled choices. Conservatives favor the organization, and the use of rules to control their individual behavior. In all these cases, we are choosing the social model of either the cats, or of the dogs – picking sides and thinking that the others made the wrong choice. But there are more than two choices. The social model of the wild horse or Maverick is still with us. Mavericks work as individuals, but they benefit from the support of community and make an effort to improve it. Pioneer families away from the protection of the fort -- Merchant trading ships leaving the safety of their home harbor -- consultants, computer programmers, writers and free-lancers. Scientists and artists work alone, but then come together to share resources, trade ideas, exhibit space, and seek grants and funding as a group. Social leaders and others who would change the fabric of society are all -- Mavericks. How often could we solve the problems of the world by stopping this fighting like cats and dogs, and instead work as mavericks, trusting each to do the best they can as individuals, to increase the strength and goodness of society? Better yet, we can lift ourselves even further above these choices, using our capacity as reasoning human beings to say to one another, how can we decide for ourselves what social models best fit our needs, without being hobbled by having to choose one that occurred in nature? Why not design our own social system, suited to human beings?

Strange Creatures

Firenado.mp4 Too much fire magic! The elemental got loose....

Fyrd etc. etc. The mouse goes to a hand, and the link works, but there is no color, and no ap cost/route name displayed.

Fyrd Argentus 187066 iMac OS X Chrome. Low to Moderate I got claw3 token essence off something, and it applied randomly to this winderwild. I got the "template error" message in trigger box, and now the image won't load to the creature page. Looking at the specific creature, it got the claw 3 but also a [] with nothing after it. This null token symbol is probably why the thing won't load an image.
