Legate of Mineta Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Rhi; 1) Yes- almost too many to count! They differ from region to region and from city to city. In Mineta, they differ even from neighborhood to neighborhood. 2) They are certainly interested in learning about the rites of the Imperial Temple. 3) Not presently, but in the past this has happened.

Metis Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Speaking of which, has the Team cooked up a response to these old related questions of mine? On 6/9/2018 at 5:05 PM, Metis said: 5) How, if at all, does one convert to the New Gods? Say that a student from some far off place with no real religion to speak of comes to the Academagia and wishes to convert, what's needed/what happens/etc.? 6) Is there a fancy(/ier) term for the New Gods religion, or is it just "(worship of) the New Gods"?

Metis Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Is Professor Strom's first name, as well as exactly where he ended up (jailed? Hanged? Fled somewhere?) after the whole smuggling debacle, known to Academagia students/faculty/what have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Likely to faculty. Students...much less so, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 What did happen to Professor Strom? Just in general, was he arrested and jailed, did he flee to places unknown, or do he genuinely fall off the face of the island to the point where he could be chill'n out as a lumberjack in Mineta with no one being the wiser?

Legate of Mineta Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I will ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I like to imagine he's somewhere nearby the Academagia looking to turn the tables on Sixt. From the sounds of things, I believe that the artifact smuggling thing was never formally proven, and Strom quietly resigned and disappeared before things got too hot for him.

Schwarzbart Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Are you willing to share what guilds we already can join in year 1? (i.e. I think we can join the thief guild but so far never found out how) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'll ask, but I can at least confirm the Thieves' Guild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 For reference, unless I misremember joining the Thieves Guild is done through Spoiler Miya's student adventure. Though I've never actually gone through that one (stealing is...not my shtick), so I can't confirm whether there's anything special you need to do during the adventure to do it.

freespace2dotcom Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 So, out of curiosity I searched for Academagia at Wikipedia. It got a hit as an entry under life simulation game. saying: "a fantasy magic school life simulator made by a father for his daughters, and released to the public due to demand" Is that true? That makes a lot of sense, considering the dedication picture at the opening. But if it was supposed to be just for a family, how did word of it get out that it existed? That sounds like a part of the story we have yet to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 And how did such information about Academagia get on Wikipedia but not, for example, this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 You know how many Infos got buried in this forum of the many years Academagia is already out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Mmm. I usually have a good memory of factoids posted on this forum. If that was posted here, I think it must have been really early on. Honestly I would bet that it was never released on the forums, because I asked once about Ann, Janelle, and Kim, and the Legate mostly deflected the question. To be fair, it's usually not a good idea to release too much information on the internet about one's family, so I just dropped it, but I must confess it remains a point of curiosity.

Legate of Mineta Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 That's not correct, although I think everyone has children now. Those are the wives, and it was always made to be released to market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Bahaha! So, the Wikipedia entry is false! Well, when anyone can edit, you get cases of false assumptions like that. I would try to edit it myself, but every time I try to edit a Wikipedia page, the edit gets reverted because I'm not one of their super editors. I just gave up in trying.

Rhialto Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 How many people live in the forest around academagia? Have they ever caused problems of any sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Rhi; Not very many, and those that do keep to themselves. There hasn't been a formal census. They have definitely caused problems- from time to time there have even been interventions by either the Guard or the Academagia itself, but that's rare.

Rhialto Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 What kinds of problems? stealing? illegal or improper use of magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Rhi; All of the above, plus more sinister crimes. Of course, how much of that is true versus perception is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 1. Are any students at Academagia from Malkstrang? 2. Where is Selamor? 3. Are the libraries of Selamor restricted due to containing texts about dragon anatomy? 4. Where is Malkstrang? 5. Is the precise distinction between mastery spells that teach people skills and revision spells that improve people's skills understood? Is research into this topic restricted?

Schwarzbart Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 6) Is it planed for year 2 to have CoD also related to other schools our char attend and resulting from this even punishment from this other school(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Rhi & S; 1) I don't think I should answer that. 2) The Salt Tower? I'll ask if they wish to reveal. 3) No comment. 4) As #2, above. 5) Revision alters a thing, whereas Mastery takes control of a thing. That's the basic split. 6) It is planned, but not yet implemented. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 1. What would the reaction be in Vernin if a non-Vernin student were to gain highest marks in Y1 Vernin courses? (maybe I have asked this before) 2. You have mentioned that sugar is old in the Empre of Man, but where is it grown? Any in the Empire? 3. Is it common for pious students to offer prayers to Rostra before leaving Mineta? 4. Is the worship of Aemean tolerated in Mineta? Conversely, has such worship ever been associated with a heresy?
