You know, I'd be willing to bet that lots of people in that time period knew what was actually going on in regards to how tiny things had babies, it was just that they were too poor to have their ideas published. I mean, farmers see things give birth all the time; why would they think that mice did it differently?

Well, I doubt that "Where Mice come from" will ever come up as a plot point... *Cue us having to deal with a new type of mouse that breathes fire or something and having to find out where they're coming from, and the boss is a slightly larger, really cute mouse queen or something that a Wizard made as a joke*

yep, medieval science is a shit. doctors also wear a mask that lets all disease through but smells nice due to lots of flowers and perfume, cleaning their equipment is unheard of, and blood letting is the go to solution for any malady, and tooth care was scraping your teeth with a brick and then rubbing honey on that.

... @Dark Ness, can you provide us with a list of education books available to be bought? That should solve some problems.

I would, but there is way to many books. I don't want to spend two hours just coming up with books, and I would probably miss some even then.

Yes, but not by much. A tenth of a second, or around there.

Considering that it takes about 0.6-0.7 seconds to cast the spell, and just a little less than a full second if you don't want to get your tongue twisted, that's actually a pretty big improvement.

Compared to what that specific spell would be focusing on both. So, if you voted to do only one, it would be a tenth of a second improvement on one over the regular improvement on both, but the other spell would get no improvement. Also, doing both spells would make this easier to do with other spells of the same type in the future.

I don't mind the addition.
Can I ask what you mean by this? Also confused by what's being tallied. The last threadmark was at post 2391; the request for major actions was at post 2441... Ah, the request for action choice had major and minor components, and you're partitioning by block.

Plan: ◈mrttao
>>> mrttao created an entire base plan, which means it stays together when partitioned by block. Normally this isn't an issue, but because he incorporated both Major and Minor actions into it, it isn't easy to break it up by task.
Note: This is also not an appropriate use of a base plan. A base plan is a group of proposed lines that other voters are expected to add on to. In other words, a common core component of a larger vote. Given that this vote must be entirely comprised of a Major and 2 Minor actions, and that mrttao's base plan is exactly that, there's nothing for other users to add. It's not a base plan; it's just a complete proposal in and of itself.
Also, he did not actually vote for his own base plan, which means it just sits out there with no support. Also also, because he named his base plan after his user name, referencing it becomes a bit complicated.

--[X] While buying the books, inquire -subtly- about that guy. Did the shopkeeper see him when he was in town? Any interesting news? Don't appear too interested, but heroes tend to be the talk of the town, considering that they're basically demigods, so he's bound to have heard something, and with us being away for a while we'd want to catch up on the gossip (this assumes that we know the shopkeeper only barely; just enough for him to know our name, or less. If he's more aware of any of our habits, don't include anything that would make our questions stand out from how they'd have been worded before our father died).
No. of Votes: 1
>>> The above appears to be an attempt to reference Arkatekt's vote, but done improperly, so Arketekt's proposal is not incorporated into it.
Total No. of Voters: 5

Almost everyone is voting their own thing, they aren't agreeing on one thing.
I should have left out the bit about consensus in the quote, I guess. I wasn't asking about that, I was asking what you meant when you said that the program didn't like ◈mrttao.
That's normal. No one voted for the plan named "mrttao" (not to be confused with the user "mrttao"), including mrttao himself.
But he DID vote for it. That's why it's even included. Yet it's also saying he didn't vote for it. Just including his name in the title shouldn't throw it off like that.
No, he didn't. In his post, he created the plan, and that's all. He did not actually vote for anything at all. User votes are separate from base plan definitions. He would have needed to add another line in his post, after the plan definition, that referenced that base plan. For example: [x] Plan mrttao.
The reason his name is included in the title is because that's literally what he named the plan: [X] Base plan mrttao. Something like [X] Base plan Privacy would have been more clear.
You can create any number of base plans in a post, name them whatever you want, and you're not required to support any of them in your own vote. The choice of naming a plan after your own (or worse, someone else's) user name only creates confusion for other users. The tally program can always come to a conclusion about what's meant, but that doesn't mean it's not confusing to other users (such as in this case), which is why it's discouraged.
In any case, all plans are included in the tally results simply for reference, even if no one votes for them. It's useful to know what plans exist, and which ones are being modified in which ways, etc.
