Schwarzbart Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Now we don't know the location of the school and I think there where Schohanwicht is are complete different laws regarding to gate magic so you cant count this against the school. After all we use portal magic items to get there. And don't tell me that what we can learn with Incantation, Revision, Glamour or Negation is not dangerous also and if not for the law Academagia would teach Gates also.

Metis Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 All fair points...but that doesn't explain the mystery ritual that may or may not involve the resident Cthulhu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadorbg Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I didn't see it that way but it's true that a school teaching young children something completly illegal in their homelands and might cause their death is really dubious in a ethic and moral standpoint. That is without what I already expect might be the potential "fee" for the teaching and the potential punishments by your new "community".

Schwarzbart Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Now couldn't this ritual something that we came across while we visiting this school , just have a look in how many strange and dangerous adventures and events we stumble at academagia and then say such things don't happen at the other school also.

Metis Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 The difference is that in the Academagia those things aren't generally...actually, wait, Orsi. They are encouraged. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair nothing forces you to take risks but this also apply to Showanwhicht ritual. To be honest it's not the ritual that really bothers me. You can't be the ultra secret school of Gates without some extreme "precaution" taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyrhet Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 The world of academagia is on the cusp of an industrial revolution basically, right? Have there been many popular revolutions going on? I seem to recall there's a country next to Meril that had a liberal revolution and is now a republic, but is there any sort of popular or intellectual movement that resembles socialism in any way? If there are, have any of these ideas made inroads at the Academagia itself? I mean the Academagia is CLEARLY institutionally supportive of BOURGEOIS CLASS INTERESTS (note tongue in cheek) but it'd probably be cool to do a materialist or social history of the isles for a class.

isadorbg Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think Elumnia is rather in the early Renaissance with gunpowder only starting to take root in society and a mostly feudal society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyrhet Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I was going off: Sabin;Toxi is more or less correct: their technology is on the cusp of an Industrial Revolution, and in some places, like Ruckmarn, artisanal factories exist. Technology is very heavily blended with magic, which has both benefits and drawbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Actually, Schohanwicht reminds me of the Grey Wardens. Anything is allowed if it keeps Gates secret as it perpetutes through generations. This would mean that they woud have generated a very different moral compass thn most. see Blue and orange morality.

Metis Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I was about to argue that Schohanwicht couldn't have fallen that far, but... that doesn't explain the mystery ritual that may or may not involve the resident Cthulhu. So...carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 dyrhet; That is true, in the sense of artisanal factories. The widespread pressures which led to the industrial revolution of real history do not yet exist. That said, Pievre has undergone a liberal revolution, and espouses a fairly radical philosophy in comparison to the rest of Elumia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 1. When the player is enrolled in Arithmetic the class contains 37 students. So how does Professor Valenta break up the class into even groups ? 2. What is the intended release order concerning Steam, DLC 17 and Y2? That order, DLC 17 included in Steam release then Y2? Something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Metis; I'm not sure the order, but Steam will be evaluated first, I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Say that a corrupted clerk took a bribe to do that and was caught, what would happen? Both to the clerk and the person/people who bribed him. Metis; For nobility, execution. That makes clear that nobility and commoners don't always get equal treatment legally, for better or worse, but what if the noble in question was barely a noble? Say that someone from new money recently bought a title and land that can kindly be called a "fishing pond" was caught doing something that nobles receive harsher punishments for. How would this person be treated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metis Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 How rare are saltwater fish as compared to freshwater fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think saltwater fish are next to unknown because where would they live if all the ocean are unreachable for the humans living on the flying islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Metis; As Schwarzbart notes, there are very few saline lakes in Elumia. Freshwater is almost all that is known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 It is still known that tuning a freshwater lake into a saltwater lake will very likely kill all the fish in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metis Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Does the Tutoring: Grifter background assume the player knowingly took part in the cons even if the PC is a Black Sheep in Y2 and beyond, or will that simply...well, not come up? I'm thinking about taking Black Sheep for my main PC, mostly so that I can make a few other additional changes (read: add Grifter, Artisans of "Skill", Noble...) and put that creative assassination plot I mentioned a while back to use, but, well, don't want to have that happen if people will think I had a hand in it. ...I want to know if the fifteen(-ish)-year old Black Sheep PC will be looked down on and/or suspected of taking part in an assassination plot when his/her thoroughly alienated con-artist parents are accused of death penalty-level fraud and executed by the guiding hand of an invisible person or group for reasons yet undefined. Didn't Paz suggest a while back that Slip the Master's Mark (Ability) was a sign that the team decided on a darker path than what I had in mind with Sync? When did that stop being a reasonable argument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 How much money could you get if you managed to catch a saltwater fish? (also, if you add salt levels gradually, fish can adapt to salt) And what's the update on Y2 now that it has "Officially" slipped into 2015, even though you didn't say anything?
