    When mailing an origami package, CLOSE it first or else the mailman will say "You can't mail that!" :|

    That may be semi new, because I've never seen it.

    TIL that @Krackenor is an Illithoid CENOBITE. Time to take him to the breeders!

    Make sure he has a lichseed first!
  • Today I learned that the commodity wax is actually bookwurm bait. It blows my mind that I didn't know that, but I've never been able to figure out where wax comes from. And it turns out to be incredibly easy.

    Now to start shoehorning it into all of my designs!

  • Diamonuts are actually coconut-shaped diamonds, the size of a human head... :O

    Human heads aren't all that big! If they were Igasho-head-sized, then I'd be impressed.
    I used to make cakes.

    Today I remembered that I have to look at what people are wearing before our RP, so I don't accidentally ignore the fact that someone is wearing a shirt.

    You weren't ignoring, you were just... skipping that part. Right?
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Today I learned that the shovel and bucket you get from the gnome stonemason on Smoke Mountain disappear if you take too long to do the quest! And that he won't give you any more, no matter how many times you ask! And that violence is a much more effective way to convince him to drop another shovel and bucket!

    The takeaway: Ask nicely first, but if you don't get what you want, then start kicking faces! XD

    EDIT: The smiley was slightly creeping me out so I replaced him with XD instead >.>

    Every quest item in Newton/Lolliprin/Smoke Mountain decays faster than it would in other places. It's like they're training you to be quick :D .

  • Today I learned that when someone suggests searching the shops in the Aetherplex for an outfit, they don't mean the small list of shops in the portal room in Glomdoring.

    Ooooooooooh.
  • BONUS LEARNED!

    The commands PORTAL and PORTALS are extremely similar, easily confused, and the latter works regardless of other arguments!

    Accidental uses so far: 3

    DOUBLE BONUS LEARNED!

    Not one of these shops wants to sell me shorts or a skirt. :'(

    This is probably more because greatrobes (armor for most people) takes up the 'normal' clothing slot that shorts/skirt would go on and thus most people don't wear things like that.
  • Oooooh, interesting! That would explain that.

    FORTUNATELY I am a monk, and I am told that that means I can cheat and not wear greatrobes! I think.

    So the quest for pants continues!

    It's one of my novices.  Inevitably, I'm going to blow a bunch of comms on inking them up and attempting to get them to stick around.

    Sometimes, it even works!

    A DESIGN PERMIT IS NOT THE SAME THING AS MAKING A CLAN INTO A CARTEL.

    Hallifax needs to assign someone to Sylandra and Phoebus to remind them of how to Lusternia.

    You can also get wax from the kepheran hives, but that wax requires three loti mushrooms apiece. Bookwurm bait is just the easiest way to acquire wax.

    Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

    Get bit by an aeonically-augmented spider, let your uncle die, and wear a funny red and blue suit.

    ...BEAST SUMMON and BEAST WHISTLE are also not the same thing.

  • TIL: The command is SCRUB!

    I was too embarrassed to ask on the public channels and tried SO MANY THINGS before figuring that out :'(

    I have no idea what that is, and was hiding from people because the game kept telling me I stink :(
  • Nature Rain removes stink (and a bunch of other bad stuff) from everyone in the room. You can also get a Cleanse enchant to do the same thing individually. Or stop by the Master and eventually someone will pearls and point cleanse. It's also faster than scrubbing in a body of water.
