Thank you, Nitram. -- Cromwell's take on things. I can tell you that my experience with magical theory is limited to helping PO Taeryon translate a name of some book into English. However, reading certain one-eyed stuff makes me want to facepalm. Let me make 'my' position clear (and I know several p...

Very good RP with Ashayen. A lot of circling around, a whole spectrum of reactions, interesting talking, excellent #me's and last but definitely not least; A dramatic ending.

It was very impressive and enjoyable RP with Ashayen today.. and I can't wait to see how that continues.

Shessidyr, was very fun to run into her again.

I liked Ashayen's RP yesterday. A nice encounter.

Thanks to the ones in the crypt.

Aegohl, you filthy noob. You forgot to add that favoritism of Cromwell is excluded from being acted upon or finished. Sheesh.

Solution:
Maps drop 90% uncut gems, 10% cut ones?

For tonight, I'd like to thank Ashayen and Rugh'toh.

I would like to remind everyone again that you always have to take into account what is feasible from your char's point of view. CAn you really be everywhere in the world, to respond to every single piece of paper attached to a wall? Will everyone respond to your little piece of parchment attached ...

As for treasure hunting, I'm sure that the treasure drops can be altered to a mix of cut and uncut gems in a matter of hours.

While I understand that gemcutting is arguably the hardest profession, I actually like the high value of gems.

The Administration The administration takes care of the City, and is made up of the highest civilian and military functionaries. They are responsible for the day to day operations of the city, as well as the strategic decisions involving law, foreign policy, economy and military. The Administration...

The Archbishopric The monastery has been falling into disrepair, and for a pious land such as the Archduchy, it has been a stain of shame. Recognizing that the Archduke should not meddle with divine affairs, the Archduchy of Trollsbane has turned over the administration and ownership of the Monaste...

The voting has ended , and the votes have been counted. Julius Rothman: Seven votes. Fayne Furnir: Two votes. Abstaining (empty): Two votes. Didn't vote: Two votes. Lord Rothman, Lady Doral, Lord Cromwell, Lord Ross, Lord Farron and Lord Travinus casted their votes. Duke Julius Rothman of Eastmark ...

"..in the case the old ones do not return." Old ones have returned. Good to see the Knights of Gobaith as their usual neutral selves, trying to justify the theft of land which has actual owners. The irony. Well, we all knew that the knighthood is all about talking the talk but not walking ...

Anyone can obtain leather, anyone. Obtaining iron/coal is also quite easy. Problem is, I don't ever find anyone selling it. Now new (and poor) players can earn quite a bit of money selling leather and iron/coal (3 coppers a piece gives you some good cash), but nobody appears to want to. What's the ...

How about: (heavily) diminishing returns over a long period of time? So effectively, the longer you do X within Y amount of time; the smaller chance of finding such a gem you have. You can PG all you want, but the only way to quantatively maintain a high chance of finding such rare gem is to spread ...

Why not leave the gems just for very rare case scenarios, and GM quests? That would make them very very rare. Because distributing expensive items through quest is the most unfair, arbitrary and imba way you can come up with. The most ruthless and quick-cliking shall inherit the land. For clarifica...

"Sir" Marescot, Considering your amoral exploits with Duke Rothman's daughter, I find it laughable that you are lecturing anyone of ethics or the "people's will" on the walls. You're a one-track, honorless, spineless and lecherous idiot. Shut your mouth. You, for all your boastfu...

And Crommie, do you have anything conclusive to propose as to what to do to get bigger in and out-"flow" of silvers? I'll just comment this before going to bed, hopefully I have time to craft a more thorough response later. Anyways, what is important to consider is that: Even though the s...

Voting begins! Candidates are, in the order of most powerful title: Duke Julius Rothman of Eastmark Countess Fayne Furnir of Oakwoodshire Voting: Each noble shall cast their votes here, or send a letter to the archduke if they do not wish to make it public. The voting ends on the last day of the cu...

The Nominations are over.

Duke Rothman and Countess Furnir are the election candidates.

Discussing is fun, but let us use some real numbers and facts here. I through cloak and dagger operations, bribery and extortion (=Nitram was nice, thanks) I was able gain access to some statistics. These statistics include the total active wealth in the game, excluding quest characters. Thus, the s...

Holy damn. Soon we have more GMs than players!

Just kidding. Welcome!

Nominations Dear nobles, citizens and whoever else it may concern As I pledged in the very beginning of the reforms, there would be time when I shall step down, handing over the responsibilities of the Archduke to someone else. Though, some of you may have doubted this intitially, I am glad to anno...

Announcements

Joxia Doral and Fayne Furnir have gained the rank of Countess, and shall be known henceforth as Countess Doral of Riverside and Countess Furnir of Oakwoodshire.

Lord Cromwell

Edward hasn't raved that much for a long time now. A lot of thaks to the Overgrown housecat , Na-Chaya, Eyda and Ashayen I look forward to seeing how that develops.

I think one of the solutions would be to create "opposing skillgroups" and add a malus (or bonus!) to the skills of the other group once the player progresses far enough in the other. The easiest way to do this would be to divide the skills into "production" and "damage"...

It was a bit confusing when I logged in, but the situation turned into some very good RP. A big thanks to Eyda, Ashayen, Lacy and the orcs!
