Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
It doesn't really belong there unless I fold Side Stories and Apocrypha together, which would be a monstrous amount of work to get the threadmarks ordered correctly.
Last December I suggested that you could temporarily threadmark teasers and snippets of chapters that you post early under Sidestory, but you had a good reason not to do it back then. Since said good reason is not a concern anymore, I thought I'd remind you of the option.

That was impressive.
Well done! That's an impressive video edit.
Thanks! Most of the intro was actually done by modifying the game itself, as it happens. However, the Ranald faces looked like crap when scaled down enough to put in the actual cutscene image, so those were added in post instead to keep them higher res. Synching up their fadeout with the scene was tedious, but definitely worth it.

Hmm. We're only 16 posts from page 10,000, now. Should we slow down posting to try and ensure BoneyM gets the first post on that page (post 249,976)?
 
Actually @BoneyM Have you read 4E Patrons of the old worlds 1? (would be happy to lead my copy if you want.)

I'm just asking because it as the most detailed description of a Enoir NPC out yet, (those YMMV, she is an active criminal, so not that representative of 'the average Enoir' and set in the future from now), as well as some descriptions of places in Laurelorn like the Vale of Memories and the Cairnfolk (a clan? society?... mad artists.) that live in it. (arguably the coolest thing out of Laurelorn updates yet) as well as missions that can be seen as a look into the types of things that interest them. and some background characters: most interesting for me being the dead Elasil Brichtorn, hero of the Nordlander village of Kronven. (ignoring the soul stone plot bit) and Ramorarha Bloomheart, an (future?) ambassador in Middenheim, who is 'well loved' at the count.

now, it still has more than a bit of WFRP 'everyone is an asshole deep down', but I would still place it as one of the better reads for how to create Patrons and the type of missions they would create.

I honestly doubt that it'll happen. Someone else will let their excitement get the best of them. But I do agree that such a milestone post should be Boney's.
x2

This quest is without question my favorite, although I'll admit catching up with this quest in Dec 2020 had me spoiled for a bit with new updates rolling out every alternate day for a month or two :D

Problem here is not excitement. For Boney to get it the thread must stop exactly 1 post before the new page. Between accidental ninjaing and the thread being too afraid to post anything (resulting in a standstill 5-10 posts before the milestone post) that is a hard proposition.
 
Doesn't this all mean that Eike is going to have to deal with some massive challenges
I think everyone realized this when she became a WIZARD. Like a lifelong existential battle with the Temptations of Chaos, a lifelong balancing act between advancing her magic and dying horrifically in a miscast, or a lifelong battle between serving the Empire and not killing all the bigot assholes in that Empire that treat you like shit...or any of the other challenging lifelong battles she was born having to face.

Personally I think she'll find the EIC relaxing after all the other bullshit but that's just me.

Edit: also 7 left. Sorry I was catch up and didn't see the page count discussion. I'll hold my tongue for a bit and see if Boney wants to Cap Page 10,000.

We have seen before that Mathilde goes through the EIC records. This together with controling the corporate policy basically from day 1 means that Eike has the advantage that the corporation she is inheriting is fully in line with what the Grey Order would consider acceptable buisness practices. And both Mathilde and Wilhelmina know about the Vow and have several years time to make sure that the EIC can be argued to be of direct and practical use by the time Eike would start taking over.
 
Three left.

This moved fast! I have U-K8P half done, Soizic not started. I'm going to have to reserve post and edit back in.
 
So what do we think Eike's perception or conceptualization of the Winds of Magic will be like? Or if we should influence her mindset regarding it early on, at all, to better groom and prepare her for the role?

She seemed to display emotive windsight, characterizing them by emotional feeling.

Nobody else but Boney post, this is the last of page 9999.

Edit: Thank you to whoever deleted their post.

Edit 2: We actually now have one more post on page 9999.

So now that we're managing to Waystone Project are we our own boss? Will we be getting a council of our own Advisors for the Project? I feel like that would be an interesting progression seeing as this would be the first time we're without a boss, so to speak.

Unless of course I'm simply misunderstanding and we do have a boss, maybe the woodelves since the project is going to be based there? , who we're going to be reporting to.

Also, as long as this post is #249,975 then the next person to post will be on page 10,000, so if you're looking above and are unsure of whats going on, that's the answer I think. If this post isn't #249,975, then another post has been deleted somewhere along the way and we'll need another to get there.

Edit: I'll be honest seeing how many posts have already been deleted just since we've sat at the edge of 9999, I have to wonder how many get deleted in normal operation but ate simply not noticed or remarked on?

This is all to say that once BoneyM takes page 10,000 there will be nearly 250,000 posts before hand, and only one will need to be deleted to shift that page 10,000 post back to page 9999, and it would probably even happen by accident.

Do we? The reason I have been I have been insistent on saying you are wrong is because you said canal was the proof that Mathilde was enriching herself at the expense of the Empire. In fact here I will quite you on that;
We benefit ourselves over and to the detriment of other Imperial institutions and/or individuals, and work to increase that advantage.
Other institutions in the Empire. Not 'The Empire'.

It should be noted though that 'for the good of the Empire' can mean a lot of things for a lot of people. The EIC will serve Eike's notion of what the good of the Empire is so to an extent it will serve in shaping the Empire into what she wants it to be. Power cannot serve abstract concepts without passing though the filter of individual judgement.
Yeah, this. That's my main issue with the thing. _/(^ . ^) \_
 
I'm pretty sure post 249,975 is still om this page. Gonna delete immediately if not.

Edit: Yep. Now we wait for BoneyM.

Your issue is that we have leading role in the Empire. That is it. We lead therefore you hate it because it is not existing leadership and you can't help but consider status quo good and any improvent is bad because it is not status quo anymore.

But we are inheretely a political actor in this quest if you don't have the stomach for the actions that is unmitigated good I wonder how you will handle if we ever have to pick between bad options. Raging against the existental problems of what it means to be a political actor in a nation state like Empire is not revelant.

... that's not what I said. I did not even imply that. I am not particularly invested in who holds power in Fictional Grimdark Germany.

ETA ... did you just double post in an effort to trick me into making page #10,000? Because that's hilarious.
Further Edit: Probably not, okay.
