...well congratulations, because we are 16,000,000 IM poorer after this little Fun With Numbers. :V

Edit: Was it worth it?!

In real life not everything is rounded, or even accurate for that matter. This only exists in a philosophical tract for accountants.

Rounded? No. My issue with using 64 IM would primarily be the inconsistentcy with earlier transactions and only secondarily the unroundness.

But things are accurate. To the cent. Always. Everyone who thinks otherwise tends to be some brand of marketing goblin or upper management ghoul.

Look what they've done to Duesal!

This is what happens when Excel desk warriors become D&D players. They infect everything they touch, even the loot jockies.

We can just take more Efreeti and wring the loot out of their corpses and their souls.

They are the Loot Piñatas of the setting. Limitless Loot Piñatas.

That's what I mean though, these people typically make broadly reaching decision arbitrarily and it bleeds down through cultural osmosis to most other brands because of it.

Look at any store shelf. In America, prices are completely arbitrary based on sensation and convenience.
 
@Artemis1992 seems to be AWOL at the moment, so I'm gonna change my vote. We can vote on the twins' builds later.

Meeting with Crimson Lotus now makes sense, considering all the time and effort we spent in the Reach in the latter half of this month dealing with Court of Stars machinations.

It's a relatively small thing, but one that really bothers me is how we round the prices of gasoline when we talk about it in daily life, when it's mentioned on the news, etc.

We say it's $2.05 per gallon, or $1.97, or whatever, but it's actually $2.0599 or $1.9799, etc. I would rather just pay a flat $2.06 or $1.98.

/isn't crazy!
 
I take some offense on actions clearly labelled as "delegated" or even "backgrounded" and approved to be such (through DP first and two(!) separate votes) being pushed to the forefront as the things Viserys has to weight in for some reason.

Just so y'all know.
... @DragonParadox specifically.
:anger:

This isnt the first time, nor ever the last, but I feel like expressing the pent up annoyance.

This discussion is causing me flashbacks. Bad, BAD flashbacks. And the desire to bludgeon people to death with ledgers.

You are just OCD, it's not crazy. It can be though... depending on how far you take it.

Look, @DragonParadox likes to write. He latches onto opportunities to do so. He is extremely reluctant to pan things forward OOCly or in the background with only a couple sentences.

The only way you are going to change this is to convince him it's not a bad thing to do either.

Edit: This is why the complete elimination of minor actions is a thing that has to be done, rather than a thing that might be cut back on.

It's the only way to remove the temptation of writing non-essential prose.

Hey @Artemis1992, how about giving the twins identical builds? It'd really fit the whole Twin motif.
Mystic Theurge really sucks, and I'm 100% up for sending them both into Arcane Hierophant. Being identical for now isn't a problem. Arcane Hierophant advances Wild Shape, stacks Familiar and Animal Companion while advancing both, and is honestly one of the best classes in the game. You're a Theurge (while losing very little of the Druid's power) and your pet melee brute remains as powerful as ever.
IMO Sorcerer is a better fit than Druid, seeing as they're Volantene and learning from a Sorcerer (Bloodraven). It's not like they desperately need the power increase - they're Druids anyway, the best class in the game!

And can I have a link to Warden of the Wild please?
