  • I'm sure that we can find a sword in Hallifax if we try really hard and maybe import it.
  • I want to emphasize that I first wrote that as a joke for HA before like all of them encouraged me to actually post it and run. It's like an entire clan of shoulder devils.

    I also secured oaths of polite and OOCly civil opposition before …

    I've always treated Old Celest as Rome, broadly speaking. I've mentioned Old Merian in a few of my books that would put it as an analogue to Latin.

    EDIT: Also the message for hearing Merian when you don't …
  • Psh. It's not Greek, it's Archaic Lucidian. Which just happens to look a lot like simplified Ancient Greek. It's a complete coincidence. Really.
  • I wanted to be more pompous but the game wouldn't let me.
  • How does one go about adding in timestamps to mudlet logs? I usually just highlight copy and paste out of mudlet when I want to save something, so I'm probably missing a really easy way to do it.
  • On the alcohol artifact note:

    Hallifaxian Intoxication Modulator: Lets you MODULATE INTOXICATION to set your drunkenness level to whatever value you want. Once per day, make it consume a decently long balance and whatever else you need to…

    I cannot believe that actually got approved by the Board. Also, I want to reiterate that it was really Zitto's idea.
  • Now write more and give Hallifax more competition, please.
  • I dunno, I always took cleaning up the archives to be code for not having anything to give us right then, but reserving the right to "discover" it in the future, possibly after a chat with Esty. That's how I use it for the library, at least. Damaged…
  • This is what happens when @Zitto is not around to make us behave ourselves in our secret clans. We turn into monsters.
  • Hallifax people sometimes need help killing the joules, depending on the level they do their collegium stuff and (I presume, been ages since I helped someone with it) if they rejected grace or not. Most people do it late enough that they're fine, th…
  • If we're asking for design nouns, I would like ponchos to be added under coats, please.

  • So if someone has a log of the Bloodfaire auction, I would really appreciate it getting posted. I forgot to save one.
  • Is there a ballpark estimate on when this is getting implemented? I am very excited and it has relevance to alting plans.
  • Now that books can be bound for stores, can we loosen up the design restrictions so that any design can be bound for a person or for an organization? Like being able to bind pamphlets and codices for players instead of just for orgs.

  • What pains me is that a librarian did not get the top price. It would've been a huge triumph for our profession. But it was nonetheless fabulous.
  • Seditionist @Kalnid murmurs to you, "I blame this miserable infection on your nation, by the way."

    Victory, noun. The state of a city being so famous fo…
  • Dear library admin,

    I'm pretty sure that's record time for approving that much book. Nicely done! I appreciate the speed.
  • So it turns out that Magnagora is unbelievably metal. Hat off to whoever wrote it. Especially that bridge of bodies.
  • Rant for broken bones that lead to missing things. Am hoping meds wear off and leave me coherent sometime soon.
  • Welp, I'm graduated. Wore the expensive dress with delusions of grandeur, the plate that pretends to be a hat, and everything.
  • Alternate titles for this log:

    I like big taints and I cannot lie.

    Keep your friends close, but your test subjects closer.

    Tainted booty to spare.

  • So here's a library thing that I don't understand even after all my years of librarification. What causes the growth score to go up? There's been a bunch of approvals in the past day, both for Halli and Glom. Both of our growth scores on LIBRARIES a…
  • (Aclanwhereinshadeisthrown): Zitto (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Shedrin, you can't actually toadcurse
    viscanti. They're too similar, the magic gets confused."
  • Confirming that Zitto remembers correctly, and that as far as I can tell all other variations on WRITE BOOK either write on page 1 or don't write at all. Am not sure if this is working as intended.
  • Tiny fringe thing: Finks and gnomes don't have racial languages listed in their column. You should give them some.
  • (Quote) I take my wagers seriously and also had nothing to do for a week.
  • Speaking of culture:

    I just published epic number two, epic boogaloo. Most orgs will now have to scroll if they audit publishing.

    This epic is near and dear to my heart because I wrote it on a bet that I couldn't do a whole epi…
  • I do not know when this letter arrived. I did not notice it get delivered. But it contains the greatest comment on my books that I have ever read.

    "Your own work at least remains well made, even if you do insist on measuring your words as…
