  • Why can't you be a volunteer admin in another IRE if you want to be an Ephemeral here?

    I think it has to do with time requirements.

    We need you pure and unsullied by other games.



    I don't really know the official answer, but in my own experience I can't imagine having the time to be an admin on two games (even when I had a lot more free time than I do now).

    Iari said:
    Is there a list somewhere of what creatures Bollikin created, and by extension what races furrikin can be?

    Or does someone know?
    It's deliberately kept vague. Basically smaller mammals are popular(badgers, squirrels, skunks, bunnies...) but mini-Tae-Dae's happen and stuff. THeir players usually avoid canine and feline appearances as we have other races for that.

    But as long as you have fir, I'm not sure many people will complain.....
    Mini-tae'dae happen because Bolli and Tae were bros. *fistbump*

    As for the fur part of furrikin:
    Tomtom Hardshell is a male furrikin who has no fur. Instead, he has a hard shell like a tortoise that covers his back. A pair of small, gold spectacles rests on his nose and, though his shell acts as his clothing, he wears a prim, white apron over it. His hands are small boned and long-fingered which helps him craft the fine and delicate jewelry. He works slowly but surely on his latest piece.

    So, apparently Bolli created turtles and tortoise, too. Likewise, I know one creature Bollikin explicitly made that I've never seen a furrikin of before (has anyone?): Rockeaters! Imagine how cute that would be.
    I knew about Tomtom Hardshell, but there are still a lot of animals left unaccounted for. Like, what's the biggest animal Bollikin created? Are there ferret and rat-kin somewhere? Or going larger say a wolverine-kin?

    I understand that it's been deliberately left vague, and I do love all the little fox/squirrel/raccoon/skunk-kin out there, I've just found myself wondering what the limits of furrikin are.

    @Luce has gained acceptance as some kind of weird jade dragonfox, which I find more plausible than hair trill, boob dracnari, or flesh lobos.

  • How about we not invoke boob dracnari. That description still gives me the shivers :(

    To be clear, Luce himself considers this a mutation or a manipulation rather than him just naturally being a jade dragonfox (His parents were regular-kin, haven't decided what) somewhat akin to a jackalope or woppeltinger.  This and other things led to rural smalltown furrikids being rural smalltown kids, which caused more than a few problems in his past. So caveat emptor.

    On the point of what-kin there are, we know for sure about hedgehogs, skunks, foxes, badgers, turtles, rabbits/hares, squirrels, bears, and I'm pretty sure there were explicit mentions of housecat and canine furrikin. I've had a bat before, which only had a couple of raised eyebrows due to bats being corrupted bluejays (I think?) and a lot of non-standard critters are creations of Bollikin. Essentially, if it could reasonably be seen following a Disney Princess around, it's cool.

    On the other hand, most of the colourful birds, insects, scorpions, crocodiles, spiders, stags, horses, wolves, bears, etc. were explicitly made by other Gods and should probably be scrutinised before selection. I think the only reason Taekin exist is the love that dares not speak its name between Tae and Bollikin, similar to how Loboshi splintered into Volkh's wolves.

  • I just noticed that you can't apply salves to a specific leg or arm. APPLY HEALTH/MENDING/REGENERATION TO LEFT LEG will not work, syntax has to be LEGS.

    Is this a recent change?

    This has always been the case. It is different for ice, for which I changed applying to allow targeting a specific limb, but that's a new mechanic and doesn't affect pre-Overhaul cures.

    I'm guessing since it's a Big Thing That Happened, sort of like how Tzaraziko couldn't change her arm after she picked up the Eye of Illith, or how Fain's mask became his actual face, or Krokano's eyes became one big, truth-seeing eye.

    Right, but the rest of your examples are all connected to the Soulless and Excorable/Divinus energies, and so on. The harm done to Krokano and Tzaraziko was from the Soulless, and Fain's mask is linked to how He Himself became changed. (In the words of @Mysrai "Your outer form reflects your inner self now")

    As far as I know, Crow was simply maimed a bit by White Hart? Is that not correct? Is there some other thing at play here that I'm not realising?

    Well, you could look at it this way: Raven became Crow through Taint, which is an excoroperditio-linked force from Kethuru. White Hart, on the other hand, remained a pure Awakened Nature Sprit, i.e. a divinus-powered force. So when Divinus Hart poked Excorable Crow in the eye, it made a permanent mark. It's sort of just a reversing of the Tzaraziko-Illith scenario (Soulless Illith's eye transforming Vernal Tzaraziko's hand).

    I tried this a couple of days ago, and it worked for me. Maybe there's another thing in your inventory that responds to EMPTY?

    Or Maybe Hart is really a front for a soulless one?

  • Why are the Divine Havens exits like they are?

    For the non-demigods, here's how it's laid out:

    Font of Chaos -> Gaudiguch
    Font of Beauty -> Hallifax
    Font of Knowledge -> New Celest
    Font of Harmony -> Magnagora
    Font of Justice -> Serenwilde
    Font of War -> Glomdoring

    Font of Harmony -> Magnagora
    Font of Justice -> Serenwilde
    Font of War -> Glomdoring


    Well, the Gaudiguch one is fairly clear, and I think that Beauty fits with Hallifax fairly well. The others? Hmm. It might be either a) Some sort of Mechanical decision, or b) Lorewise, have to do with the way the cities and forests were pre-Taint Wars.

    Hmm, just remembered that THE Crow does have 2 eyes. 
    Crows just look like they have one Eye cuz they copy his physical appearance.

    The gigantic form of Crow is perched on a nearby branch here, his dark shadow
    spreading across the ground and his single eye glowing a deep red.

    Unless you mean THE Crow?
    The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!
  • I recall from years ago reading somewhere that that's one of the reasons why the GM of the Blacktalon is called "the Eye of Crow"; Crow has his eye, and then his "other" eye is the GM who keeps an eye on his druids. Or something.

  • The Harmony to Mag exit is probably because pre-Taint Magnagora was essentially hippie-ville (IIRC).

    It's complicated. It's probably the new hit message for influence attacks going through (not missing).

    For those people talking about ATTACH VIAL TO EMPTY, the vial does not stop being empty after it's linked. You have to attach, link, then attach - link, et infinitum.

    It sounds like you're saying that in addition to charisma being capped at 16, influence attacks can now miss. Am I understanding you correctly?

    Also, please point me to the complicated explanation, I do need to understand any changes. Thank you.
