I don’t think LANGUAGES will get you killed but neither of my characters have the linguistics skill so it is possible there is a secret cabal of tongues about which I know nothing.

[Jennkryst]

@sao Just… Noah posted an ad for ‘come teach me languages!’ so I did not want to accidentally go ‘Sure, I know these languages, which include HIGH DEMONIC’ or something like that.

[sao]

@Jennkryst it’s ok, Noah’s no fink

on the other hand, do we really need to be teaching him high demonic

[sao]

@helvetica i think high demonic may have been the friends we made along the way

To add to this - I would love a list of languages that one can learn. It could be marked if they are secret languages and not taught.

I would just like to know the common ones or the helpful ones to have.

[crawfish]

@RightMeow It varies so much on the character it’s better to ask us via +request and we can tell you what we think is appropriate, or you can offer suggestions and we can let you know same.

Society of Explorers is really long, and I hate that every time I try @org Explorers, the game yells at me that it isn’t a real boy organization.

I get it. BUT IT IS A MINOR ANNOYANCE.

@Jennkryst Try Faith of the Pantheon

[Solstice]

Use your client to alias it! Works wonders.

[Snackness]

@Solstice But that’s woooooooork

[Solstice]

@Snackness

You’re not wrong, but… oh just look here!

peeve: there is somebody using one of my top 5 favorite names in the whole world on Arx now and they aren’t my best friend already

eta: I CAN’T EVEN FANGIRL BECAUSE IT’S CREEPY.

You can do this in game using the ‘nick’ command, too! For example:

nick $1faith=$1Faith of the Pantheon

Once you do that, you would get the following result to the following inputs:

@emit Fairen thinks faithy things.
(Fairen) Fairen thinks faithy things.


@emit Fairen thinks faith things.

(Fairen) Fairen thinks faith things.

@emit Faith
(Fairen) Faith of the Pantheon

@org Faith
(The total vomit of @org Faith of the Pantheon, I'm not pasting it. You get the idea.)

Stuff like work/score, etc, also works that way. There might be more elegant ways to do it, but that is ONE way to do it pretty easily directly in the game.

Twelve months! Thirteen gods should mean 13 months!

… but 12 means this bullshit conspiracy-theorist who wears (setting equivalent to tin-foil) hats character idea I came up with is just chef kiss

The real question is do they have leap years and leap centuries?

[Jennkryst]

Equipment, I can tolerate the eye-stabbing Ansi colors, but holy shit does the explosion of color make reading your inventory that march harder, when each item does not have it’s own line.

[Pavel]

@Jennkryst This is why, when I played Augustus, if the items weren’t light and dark grey, I didn’t use 'em. I’m a grumpy old man, I don’t need eye-stabbing ANSI.

[Duke Whisky]

@Jennkryst -

Use a bookcase for your wardrobe. It then adds each line into a drop down. Downside is that you end up then with a lot of scroll.

If you’ve not already looked into it as a command (so another for your ever growing list)
