It would annoy Aeromancers, though, by making another of our staff effects worthless.

Which hurts aquas, but really it's only deluge that gets stopped by that? You've still got currents, whirlpool, and stun (feel like I'm missing something) for movement hindering. Sucks pretty bad, and I'm in support of some sort of change there, but it's not the end of the world. I have a surfboard and still get totally stuck in an awua demesne, and have a hard time breaking due to all the movement.

Permanent levitation would do zippo to druids. We have no way to strip normal levitation anyways.

It screws us demesne wide for areas we are not present in. Deluge is the only thing stopping someone from easily walking out after waterwalking is stripped. Other problems I've pointed out in my deluge report, with one other specific ability also screwing with us. I never said it screwed us fully, but it does affect us in a big way.

Can we make it so Culture Minister and aides can MARRY people?? That way you don't have to rely on Divine and Orders?
Lendren2011-09-28 15:49:04
Well, we could make those called "civil unions" just to force people to complain about them being separate-but-equal...
Enyalida2011-09-28 16:05:31
If not culture aides, perhaps the Minister, or the CL, or GM's?

Yes please. One has to assume that people still go married before Estarra & friends started showing up anyway.

No, they just had giant orgies to reproduce. With gender and species numbers being chosen by the overall makeup of the community.

Such that swords have scabbards, let instruments have cases please. So that instruments don't decay if they are placed into a case.

edit: fixed my mistake.

Artisan Racks do that already.
Sakr2011-09-29 20:27:35
And if a cartel submits a public or private design, let that be mentioned on the cartel log please.

And yet there is a hand-held version, called the scabbard. Let instruments have such.

Doesn't the decay time increase as you play it anyway? So if you use it daily, there's no need to preserve it; if you need to go away and store it for a while, there's the rack.
Sakr2011-09-29 20:33:23
And rp-wise? Shouldn't instruments have cases for them? Imagine you are a novice and you're going to get your first instrument from your guild. Wouldn't you rather it given in a "useful" guild emblem emblazoned dark case, with a shiny exterior, for you to hold and keep safe? On the off chance you don't buy thousand credits when you're starting out and go get that manse and room just for the rack.

... scabbards don't stop swords from decaying.

Weapon racks do.

Neither QL, L or LOOK will resend Room.Info.

If it could be made to, I would lovelovelovelovelove whoever implemented it.

Orrr, just a client message like Room.Request.

sad.gif I'm guessing the likelihood is low because other IRE games don't have this?

I think HELP DINGBATS needs to be separated into different categories, like how artifacts have HELP ARTIFACTS COMBAT, HELP ARTIFACTS UTILITY, etc. At present it's rather unwieldy.

Do the other bard guilds not have a rack in their guildhall?
Sakr2011-09-30 00:57:46
Bah. The point is that instruments should have cases. Just like swords have scabbards. A bard should be able to take their instrument out of their case and be able to play it, not consistently holding on to their instrument or tossing it into their inventory. That is the point for the instrument case. You can sling is across your back if you need to, and as you can flourish your sword from the case, you could sling the case forwards and pop the instrument out.
Lendren2011-09-30 01:40:10
It's possible that what you say makes sense. If so, then it can never, ever be.

But please, if you're going to pick on something that makes no sense, and there's ten thousand other ones you could be picking on, don't pick on the one that takes business away from the worst tradeskill. Go pick on Bookbinding -- they can still remember when they were the worst, and they need to be taken down a peg.

You can't just sling the case forwards and pop the instrument out, if we're talking realism. If not, I will direct you to the ability bards have to summon their bonded instrument to them from a distance, which is just as realistic as whipping it suddenly out of a case, except cooler. I've occasionally roamed about an event with my mandolin slung across my back, but that's with just a strap and no case.
