There is also the desire to kick Marienburg in the teeth for being Marienburg.
Just a caution - similar statements have led to warnings before when it came to Tileans and other fantasy racism/nationalism rhetoric.
Best focus on what they've done/would do.
Looking at that thing, it's suddenly completely understandable why the Dwarven word for human means "shoddy."
I would also have severe reservations about teaching engineering secrets to people who turn around and use them to make that.
I'd have severe reservations about teaching carpentry to people who'd make that.
Presumably because Enchanting already involves Channeling, or some other 'spend more time and effort to get a bigger effect out of the same level of Magic' technique.
We know this one. You can 'channel' enchanted effects.
Thats kind of how the Tower of Burning Shadows works? The relatively modest bound item spell is turbocharged with a large amount of stored Ulgu to achieve strategic scale feats.
Looked at like that Heidi must have done some very impressive things to get her immortality. I do not thinks she and innocence are on the same plane of existence these days.
Heidi got a bodyclock reset as I understand it. The Shallyans just rewound her body to 18 and from there, with divine magic, and the excellent living conditions of being Empress, she's just well preserved.
I mean, I have only ever won one outright, though variants of plans I proposed have won more often than that. Besides, I only got to the point of "credible turnplanner" by passing through the stage of "brash upstart"; I didn't start out credible, I just kept annoying the thread with my own suggestions until they started being taken seriously. I really do think that the power of turnplanning has become more democratized with time; I could go through the K8P-era turnplans and list the winning planmakers (as well as if they were a variant of someone else's) to demonstrate this.
Likewise...though my spate of leading the plans was straight out due to timing - the vote dropped at times convenient for me to plan, so I got plans out...or the vote drops 6 hours before I'll wake up and I probably won't get anything anywhere.
That said I'd support Enchantment studies(Powerstone class, Enchanting class, Arcane Runes class) and getting the scrolls for MMAP and Cloak Activity, in no particular order, so long as they're done.
Also want to process the coins while we have slack time, but I'm not picky which approach gets taken for those. Just my inner historian looking at the pristine trove of history that'd be slagged for raw material value..
It's not like the Sevirscope could only be used for Bok - that's just the thing that immediately prompted the idea. Personally, I expect giving Runesmiths the ability to see magic would have applications to the Waystone project as well, given that the Waystone were a joint Elf/Dwarf project, so I'd like to prioritize the Sevirscope project while we're waiting for the Okral to leave.
Not just for runesmiths either. Even for wizards with keen Windsight they all perceive magic differently.
If we could make the Sevirscope present what we sense directly and let them compare how their own magic's action senses, it'd make cooperation far smoother.
Ehh. It's certainly something that might happen. But Dwarfs aren't necessarily going to look at a Dreadnought and think "runes will protect our expensive weapon of war". Not to mention there might flat out not be any runes that work for them. And you'd have to convince a Runesmith to do it and be prepared to spend the gromril to make them. So it's definitely not a given that they're runed either.
I think the issue is more that a Dreadnought is mainly a work of engineering, and Runesmiths are notoriously difficult to work with when something isn't very traditional in their opinion.
And also that most countermagic runework we've seen need a runesmith to work them. Without a runesmith on the crew, the dreadnoughts can be runed for durability and strength, but not for counter-battle magic.
Well I'm sorry to have come across that way to you.
Perhaps you missed the part where I would be checking what was acceptable for both sides - an acknowledgement that what I had or would have done, could well be as bad or worse from a rules and/or etiquette stance?
Perhaps that was merely obtuse, or rang false to you - my fault for being unclear.
Otherwise, your complaint seems a little nebulous as to what, exactly, you suspect me to be planning so maliciously.
If it's meant to be more of a warning that you'll be watching for attempts to use the rules as a weapon - well yes, I do recall that being, in and of itself, against the rules.
A somewhat insulting assumption from someone who has no idea on way or another how I interact with the reporting system, but - since you do find some combination of me, my behaviour, and what you believe my future behaviour to be, so unpalatable - that forewarning could be considered quite generous.
Thank you, then.
But what other behaviour do you suspect of me, which is neither against the rules nor trying to use them against others, yet still so disagreeable?
The fundamental point is that nitpicking at other players is a significant portion of the time, being done by the person perpetuating misinformation, because once people engage antagonistically they quite lose the ability to back down and consider alternative view points.
If someone is incorrect, then correct the misinformation, or seek GM clarification.
If someone has a different opinion, deal with it.
The previous vote is one where GM has clarified the specific assertions that the trade compensation would kill people like a war would(which was technically based somewhere in what might happen but then got inflated beyond sense), but which one being worse is a matter of judgement and far too many random factors for Mathilde to predict.
And votes aren't gotcha traps but ARE very often, based on Mathilde's own limited and sometimes plain biased information.
