@Jennkryst I’ll give you a spoiler. It’s not a regular clue. Like – it’s not “here’s a piece of information that you have evidence of.”

It’s

i wish i had spoiler code

It’s a thing like “you’ve seen someone do blood magic so you know it’s real.”

So tbh I don’t know if it’s even shareable, because it SHOULDN’T be shareable, it looks like it was just a thing that feels very much like Alpha/Early Beta Arx where this sort of exposure came about a lot more slowly. But at this point, a lot of PCs could probably have it. I think I just learned what it was one day and was like “hey that applies to my PC can I have it” and they were just like “oh sure.”

@Rowan I know I plan to do some stuff during daytime hours on the weekends. We have staff from different time zones so there should be ways to accommodate.

[Rowan]

@Herja Amazing. Thank you.

@Herja I always get his name mixed up with the Thrax crown breaker king, whose name I can never remember when I try.

Logging in and immediately opening messengers with giant war-related invoices attached, but also happy to feel useful.

It’s been several days but the man getting up on the table and screaming at the top of his lungs is still making me laugh.

Evander Darkwater. My vassal, lol. One day I will build a lighthouse in his honor for telling Anders to fuck off (maybe).

[tsar]

@Rucket It’s honestly just nice to provoke such a passionate response from people lol

[Herja]

I sort of wish that people would stop making that insinuation that staff would ever permit or GM a story in which children are killed. Repeatedly. Despite staff being very clear as to the boundary regarding that sort of story.

Honestly, I fuck this up sometimes without intent. Men, women and children rolls off the tongue rather absent-mindedly when describing a broad toll of casualties, and it’s a phrase I need to stop using.

[icanbeyourmuse]

There is a lot of games that also say that ‘children dying’ is part of war/ a part of a dark setting/etc. Same with things like abuse. So, it could just be hold over.

[Solstice]

Yeah, that’s certainly part of it. Too many grimdark settings in the past has not improved my writing’s muscle memory, but I certainly don’t enjoy when I mess up and make someone feel uncomfy, either.

[sao]

It’s not that bad things aren’t going to happen to children because war, but the narrative insistence on child involvement when staff has repeatedly said hey we’re not doing that anymore is pretty frustrating.
