The point is that a school frees up parents from needing to provide childcare during the day. This means they have more time to produce an income and this helps lift them out of poverty. You pair this with adult literacy classes to help people use their newfound time to further make themselves more hire able. Over time you lift people out of poverty.

Sure, as long as you do so for all plans which are being voted for this/future turn/s.

@Karmoa, I strongly, strongly recommend we skip Kick 'Em this turn in favour of using a regular action on Dig For Information and pairing it with Lead By Example. We need that extra boost, it's a huge difference in the odds.

@HeroCooky I am placing 55 of my bonus points on Dig for Information

That tag didn't work, probably because of the K. Anyway, why? "Lead By Example" gives only a +20 while doing it as a Personal action gives +35.

………………………………………… no.

I'm overjoyed at the first bit, and have already predicted the latter.
*deadpan stare* She's part of Internal Security, isn't she?
Also, DYK that I almost had a rage-induced aneurysm when I leant that Selene had been attacked?
I'm honestly surprised that Selene isn't near-constantly pregnant with all the 'aggressive snuggling' that she does with her husband.

Silphium, a medicinal plant, grows everywhere on Calynth. It's a spruced up version of the one in RL, and mainly used as a very effective contraceptive.
So even Selenes 'agressive snuggling' has about the same chance to result in a baby as doing it once without taking the plant. And she hadn't had a reason not to take it until she married.
Edit: The same risk as doing it once without, spread out over a whole month of 'aggressive snuggling'.

Warning: Due to a work-related issue (three hours of production haven't been logged), the vote will have 1(one) additional day added to it.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Most people in Slatnan (64%) are capable of basic (2nd grade) reading, writing, and math. Mostly due to their parents teaching them, but some due to the rare teacher doing it publicly for free. Orphanages teach their charges to the same level, but mostly because it gets them better jobs, and therefore allows them to pay back faster.
And Selenes job was "be pretty and allow me to look charitable," as described by Lady Maranica. The rest of her servants took this as gospel and didn't bother looking closer. Not that they would have found anything, of course.
It's not like she could use someone with enhanced hearing, who would be actively ignored, in the middle of high-society gatherings. Where booze is free and secrets are loose.

I can answer that.I think Selene mentioned that kids get some basic-education in the orphanages. I'm going to look for some quotes and edit them into this post if I find some.
Edit: I couldn't find anything. The only mention of the orphanages run by the Followers of Light was during turn 17, specifically that the orphans have to repay the orphanage and that that is the reason why they actually search if any child gets lost/kidnapped.
On the other hand, Selene got a job with a noble so there should be some education. But on the third hand, the A Hoofed Heart Interlude mentions that her reputation was "Sapient Decoration".

It also goes really well with fish as seen when this guy recreate an ancient Silphium sauce. It is a really unique flavor that I am really curious to try myself one day.

Martyris is 28 as of Turn 32. And if people on Calynth had the same level of living as Norway or England, their 90's would be our 70's. Thankfully, diseases, Mutants, and harsh living conditions mean that 60 is already old.
Sooo...
I have a crazy question that just came at me from out of nowhere...
What are the odds we can start Protestantism? I can think of no better way to fuck the Church up hard than to have it schism. The best way to have it schism is for a priest to break away and survive while still maintaining his local congregation. We should keep our eye out for such a priest and if said priest is inclined to dump the anti-mutated part of the doctrine we should maybe see if there is some way we can subtly support them.

...I'll get back to you on that, after thinking how that would mechanically go down.
But... thats a really, really good idea.
(And no, you cannot use Alhas for that. He firmly noped out of the COE.)
