  • Some ideas are good ones.

    Okay, disguise still in place? Yup. Sunglasses on. I'm completely invisible. Now, Mira: confidence.

    Your walk up to the maiden. "Hey there!"

    She looks up. Her eyes widen. "Prime Minister T'Vael?"

    ...I really need to talk to Shurna about my intrigue skills.

    I'm dying, this quest is awesome!

    Also, really hoping the planners built some dang cities. Public works + a ton of new cities should mean tons of opportunities for new small businesses in the middle of an Econ downturn.

    Glad you're liking it! New cities have largely been handled as part of colonization initiatives, with colonial population centers being the primary means by which the economy has grown. So, yes, but not so much on Virmire.
    Hello sorry to bother but are you still working on the terminus quest?
    PoptartProdigy

    Hey! Sorry for the late response. I am still working on all of my quests. There's been quite the delay, of late, but I'm getting back into the swing of things now that I've settled into my new job. Next up is After the End, and once I've worked through that, Terminus Quest is up for its update cycle.

    Good to know can't wait
    I don't know if I can properly express how important you've been to my development as a writer and as a person. My family and my church have both been quite good to me, but, well, it took me a really long time to figure out that self-loathing wasn't the sincerest form of flattery.
    I respect you quite a lot. Best of luck in whatever you're doing.
    Seen your post in the quest advertising. Just wanted to say godspeed and stay strong out there.
    I just showed your review of Burning Deadfall to my brother, citing it as one of the best, most hilarious, most scathing reviews I've ever seen. He completely agrees.
    Shouldn't there be an option in Victoria Falls to build a memorial for the war ? That's an idea I just had now.
    PoptartProdigy
    PoptartProdigy
    Er, which war? The one you just fought, or some other? There have been a few.

    Well the one(s) we just fought though we could built another memorial for the war against the nazi.
    Sorry, it was rude to be poking into and making assumptions about your life and the life of your loved ones, it's not my place to ask and I likely came off as harassing in my tone. I can only offer you my profuse apologies in this regard and wish you and everyone around you the best of fortunes in these uncertain times.

    Neg, you're fine! :D Relax. Not unhappy, not feeling pressured. I promise, you're good. :)

    Thank you for your words of support, I just get irrationally anxious when tried or stressed (or both) about the perception of my social conduct. I really need to sleep.
    PoptartProdigy
    How are you doing these days? I must confess I've grown worried for you, you seem to be much quieter since covid-19 really started to take off globally.

    No pressure to respond, just want you to know we are all thinking about and praying for you and the people around you in these most trying of times.

    I take heart knowing that you are always doing the best you can do regardless of the circumstance, and the world will forever be a better place because of that.

    Everyone's lives you've touched whether, through care, the written word or just by your presence has been made better by your conduct and your character, including myself, and I can't thank you enough for that.
    Congratulations on a successful job hunt! I hope that your new job is better in every way! I look forward to getting back into the groove of your quests, you are a QM like no other I've ever seen.
    It felt awkward to PM you or post in the thread, so I guess I do it here. Technically, the non-canon Ranger omake should be in Apocrypha and not Sidestory, right?
    I just noted an old typo on the FCNY omake, but I'm not sure if changing it would affect the narrative.
    Do you mind if I change the date from December 29, 2075 to December 29, 2074 instead?
    I'd enjoyed reading your quests. Thanks for writing them!

    Where's the best place for me to find your professional, as opposed to quest/recreational, works?
    PoptartProdigy
    PoptartProdigy
    I mean, technically it musn't, but it makes it easier on you.

    Ah, so bringing up your professional work would make it harder to distinguish Hanging Out mode from Selfpromotion mode? Oh well.
    On a tangential note, do you keep a current list of story recs? Fanfic or otherwise.
    PoptartProdigy
    PoptartProdigy
    I do not.
    I'd like to say sorry for accidentally starting the whole Religion debate in Victoria Falls.
    PoptartProdigy
    PoptartProdigy
    I am twitching at the assumptions I see flying and the SERIOUSLY uncomfortable attitudes towards my own religious leanings that certain posts are revealing, but I am not mad at you or really AT anybody. Given the thread, this is a subject that was bound to arise. As long as people stay checked once I check them, all is well.
    Is Terminus Quest on hiatus again?
    PoptartProdigy
    PoptartProdigy
    Nah. Writer's block, yes, but not a hiatus. I keep logging in, writing a hundred words, staring at the screen, giving up...
    I'm not really a quest person, but damn, I gotra say, I am enjoying Terminus Quest (well, so far, still have a lot to catch up to). Rock on!

    Thanks! Always good to see new folks coming aboard. Actually, you're in luck there; I'm finishing up an update now after being away from SV writing in general for a few weeks. There'll be new content coming in, once you hit the end.
    Okay. I understand why you lost hope for our ability to improvise a solution, and that it was /deeply/ painful. May I suggest "[ ] Write In - I don't write trap options, and I honestly don't see a way out of this" as a response, if this ever comes up again?

    I don't strictly know if you are, but I've seen them come down on people for circumventing thread bans; the precedent is one that suggests I should not attempt to circumvent a whole *thread* getting locked.

    In general, if a thread is locked, the staff expect posters to not drag the discussions from that thread to other venues. Threadlocks are, among other points, meant to allow threads to cooldown. Continuing such discussions is counterproductive to this purpose. (This seems to have been well meaning, but PoptartProdigy is correct on the general principle.)

    Y'know, I'd forgotten that we had something of an expert in this sort of thing to hand. ;) Thanks for the clarification, Terrabrand!
