City patrons or council.

(Quote) This gives me a question. When you had to set aside that last archetype, how developed was it? Did you have all the guilds and their skills plotted out?
'Cause, you know, we do have classflex now so we don't actually need the po… -
(Quote) Stoats. Plural. He isn't some faeling that can get away with making a whole coat out of one stoat. He needs a bunch of stoats to make his coats.

Pretty sure the best way for that to happen is for a diplomatic summit between Hallifax and Tosha to be scheduled. Which should happen, because it'd be awesome.
-
Pretty sure it was Phoebus who put it forth that trill don't have cloacae and thus have to have live young, which is my favorite argument for it. Plus, trill can breed with humans, so going off of that I'd have to assume that they're mostly humanlik…

(Quote) Visit Portius. He likes Magnagora. That'd be his dirty secret, except it's not really secret at all.

I suddenly understand why Daraius likes Quettle so much. Dunno if getting to talk to him about books or getting the absolute optimal answer to my research question is the biggest part of this rave. But it's a big rave. The biggest.

This is a long one. Consider yourself warned, reader.
Portius Finally Meets Quettle
17th Tzarin, 404
Stalking in from the northeast, a Brother of Enlightenment enters the room.
You bow respectfully to a brother … -
My rule of thumb for this is a compromise. I don't do trades for enemies. I don't really do them for allies either unless they know to ask me. But for things that are really inconvenient, like curios, I look the other way and trade to anyone as an O…

There's no player choice and no significant narrative. It's kind of like watching a movie with no idea why anything matters and without a particularly engaging plot. The bothers me because it sets you on parts of the honor quests without any explana…

(Quote) I'm sorry for contributing to your inner death. I've hit the point where I have a hard time caring enough to closely edit anything of mine that isn't likely to get submitted for prestige.
Someone in Halli needs to become librari… -
(Quote) INCOMING TANGENT
If you want to follow the Greek roots (and I don't necessarily endorse that in this case, because language can shift over time) it should be platypodes.
Now, time for the thing that bothers Portius t… -
Also, I'm a fan of inventory consolidation for neatness. So having a wonderwhatever that can function as a cube and/or tarot deck would be nice. In the case of cubes, make sure that cube rubes can go on the wonderwhatever and that people who already…

Random utility skills are good, with the caveat that you don't want to pull so much out of skillsets as to make taking them pointless.
I would like prints, from hunting. This for its questing utility, both for Kiakoda where you more or le… -
If I put a shield rune on a crystalweapon, am I stuck with that specific weapon (like an amethyst void blaster or whatever) or can I switch to a different gem/type (say an amethyst scalpel) and have it keep the rune and not reset to the original typ…

Blame namegen. Blame Phoebus and someone recent who is not me but I forget who it was playing with namegen.

You have longer books and more prestige wins, I assume. Most of Hallis book are pretty short, so while we look like we're ahead by a gigantic margin if you go by book count a lot of the lead vanishes if you look at scores. We're basically the zerg o…

It is a classic which needs to be shared with the next generation. But I'm not going to sully this thread by posting it. You should totally google it, though. It's in a thread somewhere on one of the IRE fora.

Wat when did that happen we were like 300 points behind Mag in scholarly last time I checked.
-
(Quote) At the very least, that one probably should have said which instance of it they wanted to know about. I'd agree that it "prevented" made it sound a lot more like the gnafia event than the sugarplum one, but I can see how they co…

(Quote) There's also the simple fact that nothing I would choose to eat in the absence of need has any significant nutritional value. But time is a big factor, too. Saving even twenty minutes a day on food acquisition adds up to 2 and a third hours…

Wrong Soylent! Not that I'd be terribly adverse to eating people as long as there was no murder involved, but I feel like turning them into a just-add-water powder might be prohibitively difficult.

Lore question: What was Hallifax's role in the Nature Wars, if any?
Stage question: If I want to include a Greek style chorus in a play, how should I do it? I can define the chorus as a prop and use effects to make it do things, but is th… -
@Alaksanteri They can, but you need to buy the race first.
Can you sell printingpressed books in shops or via manse dwellers?
-
I generally agree with @Viynain. I'd especially like a theme to be declared for future beauties. Something broad, like vernal gods.
-
I'd assume that Beauty follows the same pattern as prestige, as @Drocilla described a while back. No rubric, just going with whatever appeals to each judge.
Rave: Just published book number 75. I'm coming for you, Gaudiguch.
Hm. Does this extend to being able to sell books via guild tutors, or only shops?
Wow. That's two library things in as many days. I could get used to this.
Guess this means the Halli library needs to get a shop to stock with subsidized books for our authors.
You should require that they read X important Hallifaxian books and write about them to make sure they understand. Mix some Collectivist evangelizing in with the unenemying.
