@Academia Nut, what do the various peoples of our chunk of the world think of Crow now? Do they respect him and his clever knowledge?
Do they live by his ways now?

Hey @Academia Nut what type of clothing material do the People have available? Wool and leather I think you've mentioned and we recognise cotton, but do we have it? What about flax? or hemp? Silk? other types of animal fibres like mohair, camel or angora? And how do we make our fabrics, is it felting? weaving? a combination of both? If we do have weaving, what type of weaving do we have?
Source? We've gotten bonuses off of that schedule before. The x/3 has been removed, it represented our longest uninterrupted streak (and is now going to be 0/4)
From a pure efficiency standpoint the secondary gives +2/action and the main gives +1.5/action. However, due to the -3 initial cost I think I agree that we should main it unless we have a massive surplus (also it's likely not repeatable. The upgrade is +1 econ for 1 action, which is the standard rate.)

@Academia Nut ,if we do choose The Greater Good, would it be like the old one or would it be an upgraded version ? Also, does choosing to retain the The Greater Good solidify its position among traits ?

I read most of the thread on my phone or late at night, so I missed most of the questions, but here's a recent one I caught 
Wool and leather, plus flax and hemp, and tend to process either in weaving or felting.
Not through the LoO, no.

Hmm... basalt when they're in the middle of a flood plain...
I'm quite curios as to where that came from, but it seems likely they must have gotten it from well outside of their immediate territory.
I'm also not quite sold it is basalt. Looking at the description, and considering they'd want it to be as durable as possible, it might have been obsidian. I don't believe we've seen that yet. That said, making a carving out of obsidian would be... I'm not sure how easy or hard that would be in this day and age.
If it is obsidian, holy shit is that thing valuable. Do they have a back up of any sort for this knowledge?
Can't be obsidian. Obsidian is GLASS. You can't carve it without shattering.

@Academia Nut, would there still be ecological damage from doing Copper Mines? The description implies there is but the lack of a Stability cost implies there isn't. Also, did we fix the health issues? It didn't seem like we did based on the text in the update.

There's a lot of copy-pasting going on and I rarely catch it all on the first pass

You know an interesting detail but we seem to have sulfur vents underground I do not know what uses there are for such a gas it is interesting to note
Well, let's hope our people are right.
You can polish it though. If you put enough effort into it one could make a flat surface, though I'm not sure the realistic technology needed to do that.
My main point is that I wouldn't call most rocks smooth, especially most igneous rocks. I mean, certainly possible depending on how fast it cooled, but I wouldn't really count on it. That would be much more indicative of a metamorphic rock. Perhaps something more like slate?
Edit: I fully admit that they could have just polished it immensely, but I'm trying to figure out other possibilities.

@Academia Nut , has sharing our knowledge increased respect for Crow among our neighbors?

We had a fight over this because we didn't know how the system works. Do we have to write in Don't kick to not kick or is merely not voting to kick enough? I've always that it was an opt in decision

It's opt in, and I can check to see if the idea has sufficient traction.

Actually you can carve Obsidian and glass now that I think about it.. you just have to do it very carefully. Glass doesn't shatter when you scratch it after all and if you can scratch it than you can carve it. actually here's an example of it or this one of carved glass.

Slate sounds like an immensely reasonable choice to me. I think if they'd been obsidian plugs we would have heard about it, and while one can both grind and polish obsidian into a nicer shape any micro-ridges as a result of carelessness would be damaging and dissuade people from its use. Plus, it's just better as a cutting tool.
I assume they're not precious stones e.g agate due to a lack of mention of value or color, in addition to the fact that that would be ostentatious in a way that contravenes the robes.
@Academia Nut Spirit Chief: How were the tattoos made? What kind of stone are their earrings made out of? How cooperative are they? What are their opinions about our land? About their own homeland? Where do healing priests stand in the hierarchy? What is your opinion on the value of the Book of Life in comparison to our body of knowledge?
