  • Mhmm, I don't think that contractions automatically worsen the flow of a sentence. There certainly are cases where they are over used, but it's probably not for the best to go back and find/replace contractions in old designs, or to completly ban th…

    People who can use mask cannot use thoughtstealer, nor can people who can use glamour.
  • With my suggestion, you could deed your manse to an org completly, and it would be reasonable for orgs planning to expend credits to require that.
  • Players would still be able to transfer primary deeds to whomever they desire to mimic the existing system, if they so desired.
  • (Quote) Why? The point there is that it would make it less "giving up the thing you paid for forever" and more "Loaning it to X organization" so that you can deed personal manses and clans.
  • I would make a good editor (I think), but I'm a bad from-scratch writer - I over critique my own work before the draft is done. I cannot become a mortal reviewer under the current system in Trades and a suggestion Comment by Enyalida July 2015
  • Sort of. Right now, the holder of the deed can do whatever they want with it. What I'm suggesting is letting the actual owner always hold a better deed. A better way to put it would be separating 'owner' (purchaser) from operator (who is 'owning' it…
  • That's the thing... in my experience it's totally and exactly the opposite: Aetolia at least has many more well written designs than Lusternia has available publicly. All in all, I'd rate their designing much more highly than Lusternia's, both thema…
  • Secondary deeding. Allow for two tiers of deed. Primary deeds will work as they do now, allowing full control over the clan or manse. Secondary deeds will function just like primary deeds, but will not include the ability to alter the deeded status …
  • The kind of system I'd like to see would look something like this:

    -Use the general designing paradigm of paperless crafting/crafters guild. 
    -- To make a design, you go to the hall of records and submit your design (u…
  • Ideally, that would be combined with changes that would make the non-profit/supply trades (like tailoring, artisanry, jewelry) cost fewer lessons, to defray credit debt. This is how it is done in some of the other IREs, and I think it works very wel…
  • Afaik, Acorn is no longer in development, and isn't updated for the recent overhaul changes.

    This. Some of the designs are great from a technical standpoint, as well as being tasteful pieces of clothing all together. You can have a dramatic piece of clothing that is written sensibly, and simple clothing that …
  • Lusternian designers evidently have really bad fashion sense. Most of the public and cartel designs I see are hideous, gaudy, or both. Generally, fascinators fall into both categories for me. There are a few gems, and a few designers that regularly …
  • I suspect that the balance on ice is going to need making faster, if it's not intended to be totally swamped from the get-go by at least three ice cured affs per round of combat. 
  • Easy answer: Just gloomtide to avoid bar aggro.
  • There is a help file for auction artifacts, it's just not well cross-referenced or updated
  • (Quote) I'm bad at reading ipa, that's "feef - butts" right? :P
  • I've never received anything from you, so I don't know what you're talking about. Enya certainly doesn't give a fig about what Lisaera had decreed, about anything (unless She's right). Totally open to talking to non-aggressive Magnagorans, albeit co…
  • Haha, what? No, chopping elders does not reduce forest defense. By definition, the only totems that can possibly be chopped are those that are not runed and cannot be runed. Runed totems don't revert. You appear to have no understanding about how to…
  • And seeing emotes!
  • It's pretty laughable to blame long term, hugely player driven animosity on specific quotes from gods, especially recent quotes in relation to old situations. There isn't any chance at peace right now between Mag and Seren, but it was that way long …
  • Rave and a rant at the same time: my new computer arrives next Wednesday! This is great news, but next Wednesday is a while off, which sucks. I haven't been able to work on a lot of things I would have liked to, or participate fully in some social …
  • (Quote) That would just make it worse, not better.

    I had to explain to a novice today that we (the characters) don't protect the trees because they generate power, but because they represent an important part of (Seren) forest lore. A…
  • (Quote) I don't think this is really the reason Seren is anti - mag. I have always pushed back HEAVILY against overt admin meddling, when it's unfounded. Hell, a major part of my character is being disillusioned about the gods who (in her view) ab…
  • Think over my point there: people have trades they don't necessarily have interest in, with no investment in making them profitable. If they don't know you personally, what incentive do they have to stop whatever they're doing to come use that trade…
  • The problem with the economy is NOT that there aren't enough people with trades. The problem (in short) is a combination of the following:
    -Certain trades give combat benefits
    -Trades cost so many lessons
    -Mercantile trades like her…
  • Iirc, the mudlet mapper has a function in the utils that either outputs the first potential area name based on the room number, or returns a table of areas containing that room.

    You can also save the room area (grabbed from gmcp) when y…
