I know that when this sort of thing got discussed before, there was talk of having factions be more malleable than guilds. Specifically, that if enough players got together and did a factional type thing, it could become a mechanical faction. And of…

I cannot speak for any other author, but if you mention specifically which Portius things you like he will have a tendency to write more like those.

Thank you, anonymous administrator, for approving books in time for prestige submissions.
-
Fun fact: Colonial expeditions that consist exclusively of poets are particularly vulnerable to getting killed by lions.
-
Ordinarily I would do the same thing. But this one appears to include poetry, and I am not waiting to fulfill my dreams of a fortress founded by a part of seven poets.

Human eyes, assuming that kephies have compound eyes like I think they do.

I figured it'd be easier to give the number for the first room in the Enclave rather than the sea room right next to it. I'm assuming that you have an autowalker that could find the place?
-
It's in the Inner Sea. Third level, I think. Room number for the entrance is 37525.

Gather 'round, kids, and Portius will tell you of a Black Friday miracle.
Once upon a time, he attempted to add more memory to his computer. It then failed to power on. He put the old memory back in, and it still failed to power on. He th… -
Literary submission for this cycle remains to be seen.
Scholarly: 13995 SCH Public*[*] Portius On the Warriors of the Vassal Packs

Is there a way to have characters speak in a play without them appearing to be on stage? Like a voice-over type deal.
Prompted by the request for a radio play. I know exactly what I want to do but am not sure I can do it.
-
The ideas in past threads about more flexible organizations based on ideology that can change based on player interest and are distinct from skillsets appeal to me. I would like the increased flexibility and not needing to worry as much about advanc…

I didn't get any entertaining divine scholar comments when I submitted it for lit, though. Which just means that I need to write a sequel. Which is sanctioned by virtue of the original winning prestige.
Glory be to Portius and puns, essen… -
Submit. A submission that loses still gains some library weight, so you always want to submit something if you have anything at all that you can submit.
Strategically, if I remember to check what other people are submitting before I subm… -
RE: Godly meddling
I would rather see animated NPCs complaining about alliances and whatnot than gods. When a god comments on politics, there's a lot of pressure for people in their order to comply. Even for people outside the order, it's… -
Dear Grandmother,
If you're gonna get sick enough that you need to hire assisted living aides, maybe you should try not to offend them so badly that they quit. You're going to run out of agencies soon.

Will be more useful next round when submissions open again. Will attempt to remember this thread for then. For posterity:

This might be the NY upbringing talking, but I'm fairly sure that applejack is distilled cider. It's like northerner moonshine.
-
Pretty sure that there's an implicit Dixie after that American, specifically. Big place, pretty variable over large distances.

If bonus power is enough to make a wonder item worth getting (and I don't know that it is) something like this could be cool for a tiny one focused on long term org gains. I'd have liked them as independent artifacts for credits, but wonder item wor…

Illithoid should be able to ILLDRAIN ALL to illdrain every corpse in their inventory at once, so they don't have to wait for balance after eating each one to build up their buff.
-
I'm just going to shove a meeting with Crys about fixing Trem in here, because it's cool and Crys is my favorite god. Extraneous chatter that is not my favorite god has been excised with extreme prejudice.
The faint presence of a woman ma… -
Dear Crys,
If you had an order, I would join it. You are a heartless perfectionist, and that's all I've ever really wanted in an art god.
Please love me,
Portius

If you're implementing a choice of buffs to put on armor/robes, it would be a nice convenience thing to let people make more than one set of splendors/masterarmor. That would allow people to change their customizations without having to go back to t…

I am reasonably confident but not certain that a theater score of zero doesn't show up at all in the culture scores, rather than being listed as a zero.

Aides cannot submit books for prestige.

Context is a crime punishable with death.
Salome Nightshade, the Sublime Aphotia says, "Perhaps, a magma of precious gem-like fluid."
Chairman Pejat Shevat, the Shaper of Systems says, "This does sound worth seeing.… -
LIBRARY LOG should have a note for when other libraries submit things for prestige and what those submissions are, because it's a pain to find prestige submissions manually.
-
I don't think library log includes books being checked out from other libraries? My perspective on it might be warped by Hallis just tending to check out a ton of books in general, though, so other org's checkouts might get lost in the heap. I think…

Today I learned that my Latin students have been saying that Snape is real, and that he is an American. I am calling this a victory. To rule through fear is to truly rule. Plus I can just do whatever at office hours because nobody ever shows up.
