How the $#@! am I supposed to LARP a winged reptile with white eyes?

Word is the little diaboli has recovered from her tummy ache and wants more cookies.

Incrementing date and time could enable other features. Char who age. Mobs that have seasonal behavior changes. An ability to record history as it occurs IG. Time limited quests. Seasonal changes to harvesting and plant gathering. Some lakes and streams could be seasonal. (impassable in the spring, dry in the winter) The ability to schedule crystal eclipses. It would also allow for holidays and other calendar days that events could be hung off of.

Wow. Time is useful! 

All right then. Can we agree that a new player left because they were treated rudely, but without malice on the part of the player? And that this was mentioned with what was intended as constructive criticism? Maybe then we can get to lessons learned and stop focusing on hurt feelings. The suggestion on adding a [bracketed] line at the top of the main desc was useful, and was accepted by the player who inadvertently caused the noob to leave. But the core issue seems to be just how IC do we need to be when dealing with noobs. Can we extend ourselves OOC to encourage and train them into good PS RPers and how much OOC is too much? I suspect this will continue to be a contentious discussion but I believe it to be one worth having.

Hope you had a happy ANZAC day then.

A tall female figure approaches the board. She is cloaked, hooded, masked and gloved. She appears to read the items on the board, then pins one of her own up. It reads:

The One Guild continues to advocate discussions to refine and improve our laws. We also continue to await the response and input of the Octarchy in this matter. Together we will make Yliakum even stronger and more just than it is now.

I was wondering if a flat transparent graphic (editable outside the game) could be created as an item for decorating spaces and public postings. I was thinking the identical item with different names could serve as mosaic for decorating guild houses, posters to be hung on walls, and graffiti that can easily be scrubbed off walls. I don't know how achievable that is, but it seems like a good way for players to alter the look of the game without touching the underlying artwork.
