  • They said we can't have drums because they can't play an interval.  They studiously ignored the counterexamples presented to that claim.

    (Quote) There's only one problem with this approach (apart from the fact that, psychologically, so many people don't and can't get it): when there's multiple auctions for the …
  • In game there's RANKINGS BARDIC and RANKINGS ARTISANAL, though they don't show the points, just the "score" (which only tells you the points to within four).  I used to maintain a score sheet but I haven't in more than a year.
  • I have one that's pretty large, but I didn't think it was bigger than Deepnight.  Songbird is 66 rooms (and has all the modules with all the diamonuts, at least all the ones that existed when I went dormant).  That's why I was surprised to see that …
  • 2013/04/17 03:01:28 - The House's eyes are raised as its honour improves: Our family owns the largest aethership in the land, and people look to us in awe.

    Now I feel bad that, if the message can be taken literally (a…
  • I did say "almost" quite specifically; and the how is because a lot of things you might want to depict won't make sense with the prefix, or will just be terrible writing with a clumsy flow or rhythm and with the prefix dominating over the artistic e…

  • (Quote) That's the last resort "tag" option I referred to at the bottom of my post -- a terrible solution since it almost completely neuters the expressivity of the skill, but still better than the morass the skill will live in forever …

  • I meant a change away the fact that it does show in emotes color, by making it NOT show in emotes color but instead in a new CONFIG COLOR option just for it.  Then you can set that to be the same color as emotes if you like it as it is…

  • (Quote) Were I still playing, I would certainly like this to be the solution used.  It would allow the skillset's balance between flavor and mechanics to be preserved -- so you could still use it for artistic and entertainment purposes …

  • Well, it is taken out of a larger piece.  I only quoted what was relevant.
  • "The same folks who decry that the beauty of a rainbow is diminished if we penetrate its secrets to discover that it consists of ten trillion floating watery lenses, all brilliantly refracting, in perfect synchrony, rays from a stellar fusion pile, …
  • (Quote) There were plenty of bards who wanted to be a support class but when it became clear it wasn't viable most of them moved on. The people who didn't want to be support were certainly louder, but the way deafness works, and the failure …
  • I did a crossword puzzle and a word puzzle collection and both got submitted to bardics, but they did not do well.  (The crossword puzzle in particular took five times as long to create as a typical bardic, too.)
  • Maybe that should be bugged.  There's no point in being able to chill a keg if the chill doesn't go with the substance, so either the fact that it doesn't is the bug (hopefully!), or the fact that you can chill a keg is a bug.
  • Suede's just a particular treatment of leather. 
  • Racks also work for musical instruments, though we were never able to get the AB updated to reflect that.
  • Fountains produce cognac as well.  There are a few other things whose names originally referred to a real-world place, though I can't think of them at the moment.
  • Just the GA and GM can, but they can give stage manager privileges to anyone, so there's a lot of flexibility.
