Hooray for being 5 posts too late and triple redundant.


Your beard cannot hide the redness of your embarassed cheeks.

But your beard is so long and pointy - does that mean you're flipping the bird at us right now?

Are you hiding a live bird in your hat?

I'm stunned Tapper didn't find a way to convert Mud and Something or other into Mushrooms for recreational purposes.

Ruse, can I ask why I've received a message saying I've been added to your friends' list?

In the Northern Desert, a philosopher claimed he had found a way to turn 5 times 3 plus 1 into 18. Merchants across Madeena immediately jumped onto these so-called 'new economics', but more conventional minds said that there is no way 3 five dinari pieces plus 1 one dinari piece ever become 18 dinari. The philospher profusedly apologized and joined a convent, where he tried growing an eighteen inch beard to hid his rude gestures behind. But his research found an unimagined application in the magical community, and his thesis proved wildly popular there in making connections to the realms of the Djinn, thereby easing magical resonance. Many summoner cults dusted off their neglected summoning altars and a noticeable increase in magical activities was reported.

A Place of Worship has been built in the Northern Desert.
Whenever a player produces Magic or Worship, he produces 1 extra Magic and/or Worship. This includes Magic/Worship generated by Retainers and Items.
NB: this goes once per action, so Dawn only: once per day/night cycle, produce 2 Magic (Mystic Altar) would produce 2+1 = 3 Magic.

Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.

I also won't have much play time between now and Thursday morning 8 gmt due to RL issues. Path-Shaper has been informed.

When you first posted I was thinking your avatar kinda looks like a curvy jesus - whatever that thing around your shoulders is being the cross.
And now you post that you are leaving and will return in 3 days...

Not leaving. Just going to be low activity until then. 36 hour game day. I will be around more come gameday 3.

--

I'm off to bed. I'll check the thread in 7 hours or so, my apologies to those who cross over.
I'll be in the cinema watching some Adrien Brody arthouse arthouse movie - probably until after resolution - but I'll try my hardest to not annoy the lady and still post a short 'day is ended' message. I will resolve night tomorrow night, and I'll be off from work on wednesday-friday, so I should be able to put in quite a bit of time in modding.
Mod-kill timer is 36 hours but I do hope all of the sign-ups who were unusually quiet in PMs will actually contribute.

Anyone else think that the latest contract - immunity from theft - is somewhat dodgy-seeming? It says 'for the duration of this phase': This is the day phase, and thefts, as far as I'm aware, happen at night...

Okay doesn't look like anyone else is around. Gives me time to wrap my head around all the behind-the-scenes mechanics, at least.

I'll be around for the next couple hours if anyone wants to hang out with me. By my count there's 4 people left to check in now, with about 6 hours available for them to do so.

i'm here off and on. It seems this game is kind of falling back into the same pattern of the previous game.
