Legate of Mineta Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 1) No, Students only see them when they have been certified. 2) That's correct. She's Wetgenish- von Wetgen. 3) You'll have to ask her. 4) It would depend on her thoroughness. 5) [Redacted] 6) As a joke, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 No, but she joked about Wetgenish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: 1. So is Wetgenish not the adjectival form of the noun Wetgen? 2. Is there a tradition of third year students at the Academagia making a big deal out of their first licit dates as students? Not that all students would do such things, but the more status conscious, such as members of the Chard family, would I imagine be all over such a custom, rather like the Quinceañera of certain Earthly cultures.

Legate of Mineta Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Rhi; 1) No. 2) Certainly within a group of Students, yes- there's a little bit of prestige there. You're definitely right about it being more among the status conscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: 1. Are there people who categorically refuse to interact in certain capacities with people born in certain astrological circumstances? Is this considered tro be extreme paranoia, perhaps insanity, or merely great caution carried too far? 2. Pauper's Bane: What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 1. Probably: All of the above. 2. [redacted] On a side note, I did a quest in Fallout Shelter that involved [redacted].

freespace2dotcom Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 'Tis what I get for spending too much time here. I probably know more about the setting at this point than anyone but BCS and am likely only tied with Schwartzbart and Metis. I can't even think up many more questions, which no doubt is saving you, because If I could, I'd load another block of questions on the team while waiting for the current one. *hint* *hint* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: Is there any fear among any level of government that the Empire of Man might be invaded by a human army, perhaps analogous to the steppe invasions of Eurasia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Rhi; None, in that regard. Edit: Of course, there are constant internal conflicts within the boundaries of the old Empire, and Dragon-backed humans have historically been a major concern.

Rhialto Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 1. Is it murder to kill a goblin deliberately and without justification? 2. Is it murder to kill a troll deliberately and without justification? 3. Is it murder to kill an ogre deliberately and without justification?

Legate of Mineta Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Rhi; This varies by local law, but most places would regard at least the latter two as general menaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: In honour of Rōhatsu for those Buddhists who choose to commemorate the World-Honoured One today, some questions. 1. Are authorities within the Empire of Man aware that Aminþia Que’la is regarded by some Gates mages as a deity/quasi-deity/saviour figure? 2. Was Aminþia Que’la-veneration known before the ban on Gates Magic? 3. Would it be legal for a scholar to research whether a mastery mage had created any cult dedicated to him/herself (as well as the course of such a cult's development) so long as no mastery spells were casted? 4. How wide-spread are pacifistic ideologies within the Empire of Man? Are pacifists regarded as draconic agents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Rhi; 1) That would certainly be [Redacted]. 2) As 1. 3) Quasi-legal. Certainly the research itself would invite suspicion. 4) Some of the New Gods' teachings are pacific, so that is not by itself suspicious. It's regarded as holy, if not practical.

Rhialto Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: I take it that the suspicion is that researchers might want to learn about the Mastery spells that were used, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Any news on the question block? Also, can we please get an update on y2 on the 25th? pretty please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Free; That seems very unlikely, but you never know what Santa might bring. Questions should be out next week, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 1) Is it planed that in one of the next years spells and other effects can heal X% and / or temporary reduce maximum health, stamina etc. by X%? (I think the first is great for powerful healing and the 2nd for curse and mixed blessing effects) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Schwarzbart; It's still integer based, although there was some discussion about percentages early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well, the integers are larger, right? If I'm going to be defending the book of deep shadows from hordes of Mastered undead(?) creatures, I'm gonna need a decent healing spell to spam on me and the undead.

Rhialto Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: Since the root of incantation includes cantare (sp? - I was never good with vowel-R spelling) meaning to sing, I was wondering - does incantation involve singing/chanting in addition to writing phemes? Flore Yveulliet's adventure suggests such, and it would explain why Godina College has music as a core subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Rhi; It's not required. However, in Y2 you will learn quite a bit more about why Music is a core subject...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
