If you see something you like but prefer a slightly different wording, vote for it too.

Edit: Voting for all the name options makes it easier to find them in the discussion.
Even though none of these votes are final.

In honor of arguably the best chapter of this story:

Might I suggest
[] Riches Unremembered and Unused

Also, is there a time limit for gilding/awards, because I remembered the Wind Thief chapter being a lot more blinged out last time I looked it up?

Well, I wasn't going to bother voting until Yrsillar picked out their choices, but if we're already doing this to collect them I might as well hop on the bandwagon.

[X] Riches Unremembered and Unused

 

[TimEd]

[X] Miserly Affliction

or

Affliction of the Miserly

I don't wanna use folly, but I do like Miser/ly

other examples:

[X] Feast of the Miserly

[X] Vault of the Miserly

 

[Privation]

[x] Pot of Greed

 

[Killer_Whale]

[X] Miserly Affliction

or

Vote for all the options. This isn't a final vote. Yrsillar will be picking his top 3 from our suggestions. Which will be curated by this vote.

 

[dpara]

[X] Throne of Misers
[X] Unyielding Ego Technique
[X] Selfish Heart Sutra
[X] Severing the Collective Heart

Also like this one
[x] Pot of Greed

 

[SleepyCaterpilar]

[X] The Dragon's Curse

I like the reference to the Wind Thief story and the Dragon's Vault

 

[fictionfan]

[X] Riches Unremembered and Unused
[X]Death by stagnation

 

[pidgie9]

[X] Purse Strings Noose

This would be a lot easier if I had more context of Chinese culture than I get from xianxia/wuxia stories

But for suggestions....

I like these
[X] Pot of Greed
[X] Miser's Folly

As for what I can think of....
[X] Poor's disease
Because the less you have to spend the harder it is to do so.

[X] Weighted Purse
Because we all know how heavy it is when there is a lot in it suddenly.

[X] Sin of the Weak
The greatest sin of cultivators, finding a treasure and not being strong enough to protect them.

Though, I admit, Weighted Purse is the only I can see LQ using from my suggestions. The other two are not something she would use, even if she understands them.

Edit: on further consideration, I like these too.
[X] Budget Cuts
[X] Plucking the Purse Strings
[X] Tightening the Purse

Edit 2: a fine addition
[X] Weight of Want

 

[Gigler]

[X]Teapot at home.

 

[PowerLeca]

If this will be one of those techniques that has a slight name change as it evolves and powers up, Tightening the Purse Strings might work better for its current form, and a later more versatile upgrade can become Plucking the Purse Strings

 

[Alectai]

[X] Pot of Greed

What does it do?!

Gets banned in every official format, and even when it isn't you only get one of it per deck?

 

[ChronOblivion]

[X] Plucking the Purse Strings
[X] Pluck the Purse Strings

Hrm, apparently I'm picky about this because this is the only one I actively like. Feels nice to say with the alliteration, is used as a verb, describes the effect of the tech pretty accurately with only a tasteful amount of poetic flair, and contains a music reference. Anything with "greed" or "desire" in its name feels basic.

 

[Killer_Whale]

[X] Budget Cuts
[X] Austerity Measures

 

[Aliya]

[X] Plucking the Purse Strings
[X] Pluck the Purse Strings

 

[Juugo]

[X] Riches Unremembered and Unused

 

[ALostMortal]

[X] Pot of Greed

 

[Redoran]

I would like to keep the name more general than to lean on the miserly aspect of it. Since our other mind intrusion skill is Intrusive Thoughts, I would propose the following:

[x] Subversive Whispers
[x] Compromised Desires
[x] Tainted Desires
[x] Delusional Desires

The name should indicate subtlety since the effect is ruined once discovered.
