Wait, what? People are complaining about "- When a druid forests in a room with a tree from an opposing druid, there will be a significant increase in the equilibrium time required", right?

Because there's no RP event to announce the change? What the hell?

Why is that even an RP issue?

I invented it on the spot. It means: in a manner redolent of Ixion.

Because some hartstoners poured time into creating and maintaining propaganda about said trees, propaganda which is now being seemingly refuted. Simply put: they feel robbed of the time/effort (whether rightly or wrongly, and how to cope is what's taken up so much forum space lately).

While this is a fair point, I don't believe any of those druids used these saplings as a basis for this opinion. I also don't think that their opinion necessarily has to change. It did propose a vague gray area which cannot be easily proven either way (see: is the wyrd tainted?)

5 pages for one sentence. Well, talk about exchange rates.
If you are so seriously peeved, just take Estarra up on the offer of coming up with an explanation...but so many changes didn't get explained, why should this one be special?

because people like to bitch

what?

How do you create propaganda about the equilibrium time of a skill?

We don't. We made 'propaganda' about the trees not actually being Wyrded unless living in the Wyrd for a great many years.

Again. It's being dealt with IG. This can really come to an end.

At the very heart of it, I'm pissed off because I fought for the Hartstone to not mindlessly mulch Glom trees, and things actually turned out that way for a while. Now, everyone I ever argued the point with can turn around and laugh in my face. On a personal level, it's like being handed a fancy letter with the single gilded word "LOL" on it.

That's why I'm arguing about it. If there had even been a strange freaking flash of light when saplings suddenly changed, I could go IC and say, "Wow, some strange just changed how saplings affect our magic." Without that, it's easily possible to just give me the finger and tell me I was wrong the whole time and that I wasted my time.

That's the puzzling thing. You're usually one of the lucid ones, which is why I keep asking people if you're not just pulling my leg. If it's not that, then my best guess is that you just misread something and attributed someone else's words to me, and either haven't been arsed to go back and find your mistake, or just refuse to admit it to save face. None of these three outcomes seems entirely satisfying, though, but at least they beat the inexplicable possibility that you really aren't following the relatively simple distinction here. That is something I'd expect of or (names have been omitted to protect the guilty, but everyone can probably guess whose names I didn't just type), but not from you.
