Could be, but is a little unlikely, a 32 bit integer maxxes out at 4,294,967,295.

128 bit integers FTW! (Maxxes out at 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,455)

Key word in Zarquan's post is signed. An unsigned 32-bit integer has a range of 0 - 2^32-1 (0 - ~4e9). However, if it's signed, the max value is cut in half, because it now has to store numbers below zero, so can only count up to about 2 billion.

What proportion of experience do you lose when you die in each situation? Or failing that, what are the different situations so I can do some masochistic research.

Vitae, conglutinate, enemy territory conglutinate, prime death, prime enemy territory, loyal territory? Aetherbubble? Immolated? More combinations thereof?

I guess it's probably more complicated than a simple proportion below demi, but a rough guide would be neat.

Answering my own question thanks to multiple deaths for sci... enlightenment.

From what I can tell at my level and it might be the same for all below demi? :
Prime death -2% xp
Planar death -1% xp (with conglutinate)
Enemy territory seems to double the loss, so 4% in enemy prime
Org territory -0.5% and you conglutinate (no need to pray)

Then if you pray you lose an extra chunk - about 8% for praying immediately? I don't know how this works.

Vitae/conglutinate/other rezzes all seem the same in terms of xp loss, they all avoid the need to pray so you only use the initial amount.

So long as you pk forgive me, I'll kill you back to noob. Just sayin' :P

Edit: Never mind, apparently I have been submitting public designs by accident >.<

Is there any way to switch a public design to a cartel?

18426 Public a crude Magnagoran gas mask

Also my Morgfyre cape and Necromentate hat-shaped blanket are public :S

DESIGN # MAKECARTEL and DESIGN # MAKEPUBLIC. Only works before submitting. You could try messaging the Charites, I suppose?

You lose the praying penalty once you step back through the portal again. If someone resurrects or immolates you before the sequence finishes you do not lose the experience (so basically once you PRAY FOR SALVATION your allies have something like 2min 30sec to save your butt.)

You get a line about your familiar hopping over and licking the poison from your wounds or something, iirc. It's very cute.

Is there a minimum length for plays or prestige books? I have some ideas, but I feel as if I should milk it for points for my city. Also, quality over quantity, this could be a good chance for me to work on formulaic approaches to writing. I am pretty good on the fly but have always struggled with longer works.

There is no minimum length for prestige works, other than what your city might set for itself.

Looks like the ambient for one of the guild nexus powers. I'd assume Cantors' Nexus Inspire.

Weird. I saw this fire while standing before the Portal of Fate.

It's definitely nothing Cantor/Celest related.

Looks like a general ambient message.

It's the filling of the air with warmth and blessing by the reverberations through the plane of an exhilarating choir of angels.

So, my first beast recently finished incubation and I'm confused on some things.

What are the commands to name my beast and make it follow me?
For training, I thought training was a choice between spending each train on either a stat increase or a beastmastery ability, but it tells me I need trains available in the stats to train the beast. I've been giving it feeds to get those trains, but it still tells me I need to get them. Do I need to use reagents to get the trains available to train abilities, and if so does that mean it gets the stat boost and the ability from them, or do the trains go away if I add an ability?

For naming:
NAME . Make sure you have 1000 gold in your inventory to pay for the naming.

For following:
ORDER FOLLOW ME

For training:
You need to administer the reagents for the stats to be able to train them. When you spend training points on an ability, you actually spend them and need to get more training points through reagents to be able to train other abilities.
