Generic chat thread
I noticed we don't really have a thread just to talk with each other about random stuff--just threads with specific subjects. Figured we could maybe use one of these. Or maybe not, but in that case, the thread will either die on its own soon enough (if no one's interested) or Sami will lock it (if there's a reason I've overlooked for not having a thread like this; if so, Sami, my apologies) So yeah, hi folks. *waves* How's everyone doing?

Re: Generic chat thread
The Netherlands, and you? I think we have a fairly diverse (though probably still mostly North-American and European) bunch here on the forums nationality-wise, from bits and pieces I picked up here and there. Considering what time you posted saying you had lunch, UK or West-Europe for you as well I'd guess? And a random question for whoever pops up here next: what is the last song you listened to?

Re: Generic chat thread
Damp. Fairly warm for the time of year (~14C; just last week we had several days well over 20C which is ridiculous for mid-October) but ugh. Makes the wrist I broke twice a tad achy too. Yup. Several small-scale metal concerts and a couple of times to a free yearly outdoors festival in the city my boyfriend's originally from. Festival grew far too large the last few years, though. No longer fun to go to, just a huge mass of people including many, many obnoxious ones. Music selection went down the drain too. How's the weather where everyone else is? And any other concert experiences? October 28, 2017, 05:33:15 AM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
No opposition from me as long as you put a quick note along the lines of "Lyrics by Silenia at UnReal World forums" or "Adapted a poem by Silenia at UnReal World forums" somewhere.Just a quick note which hopefully doesn't get things sidetracked;  If you need to make some small changes to improve the flow, that's quite fine too.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Lessons at the campfire Oh young hunter listen well to the tales I will here tell For you can't hunt if you don't know The behaviour your prey might show Big goshawk often flies up high She hunts through the vast blue sky Ringed seal splashes up the shore then dives below the waves once more Grey seal, well, it's hard to hunt her she too has a habit of diving under Badger may look slow but beware When fleeing he's as fast as any hare Big squirrel sitting in a tree Thinking 'ha ha you can't reach me' (Catch him with a well-aimed throw or shoot blunt arrows from a bow) Beaver is gone in a flash Diving under with a splash Put a turnip in a loop snare and some day you'll catch a hare Drop a turnip on a trap pit You might just find an elk in it Forest reindeer next to a tree There must be a few more I can't see Set up a light lever for a bird Wake up to hear one getting hurt One remaining feather doesn't match An eagle owl made off with the catch Oh young hunter listen well To the tales I did here tell Learn their habits, quirks and all And to your weapons they will fall October 30, 2017, 08:25:16 PM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Then we're good.No opposition from me as long as you put a quick note along the lines of "Lyrics by Silenia at UnReal World forums" or "Adapted a poem by Silenia at UnReal World forums" somewhere. And aye, UrW is awesome and so's the community.As for knocking the thread off-track, hardly; it's pretty on-topic is it? Besides, it's easy enough for me to nudge the thread slightly back on track even if it were to get a bit off-track: just post a new poem. Speaking of: Lessons at the campfire II Oh young hunter listen well, to the tales I will here tell. All around us does food grow but do not eat what you don't know Pink-purple flowers, nary a leaf bring to dirty wounds relief Or in a pot of water heated For coughs or poison to be treated White or yellow flowers on water sit A big round green leaf with a slit Oh! Water lily nor river pig should you eat Or you'll have poisoning to treat Around freshwater shores grows common reed It will serve you well in times of need Harvest in summer, then in autumn pound to in winter bake bread if no food is around Growing on tree roots near the ground White as an egg; while young just as round Leave them be; don't eat it at all Sand mushroom poisoning is oft lethal Big broad leaves and long thin root Flowers stick to clothes and good Eat raw to remove poison through your sweat Add to wounds to guard against infection's threat Oh young hunter listen well; Of many plants I have yet to tell you but the night is growing late So for another day you'll have to wait (And if you can't wait that long, oh, please do not eat what you don't know) October 31, 2017, 08:35:10 PM |

Re: More kinds of structures
"Giant's Church" is the name of prehistoric stone enclosures found in the Northwestern coastal area of Finland. It doesn't actually have a thing to do with Christianity, nor were they--as far as anyone can tell--built by genuine giants. November 05, 2017, 04:36:27 PM |

Re: Rain + about to drop + no shelter = ARGH
Alternatively, it could also work to take surroundings into account for calculating how soon a character is likely to wake up from the rain. If you're under the canopy of a large tree, it might not be as good as a proper shelter but still protects the character from the weather a bit more than trying to sleep in the rain under the open sky would.

Re: Bark stuff, birch-bark stuff
Perhaps they could accumulate wear and tear much like nets do? (Well, clothes/armor/weapons do too, I guess, but the mechanism of fishing nets where it's strongly tied to the object being used rather than being hit seems the closer analogy to me) Would be a good balance between "this dried meat? Oh, it's a mix of deer and cord, my dear. Yes, I always add in my cords. It adds a little something to the texture, wouldn't you agree?" and "Sure, this cord has repeatedly been hung outside in the snow and frost with weight attached for weeks at a time, but it's still as fresh as the day I made it", I think.

Re: Bark stuff, birch-bark stuff
I really don't see a problem with the loss of cords during the smoking/drying process. Yes, they are a regrettable loss in the early game, but, with the coming additions of new bark harvesting and uses, and after a character has even moderate success at hunting/trapping/trading, the game, at present, provides more cord material than will ever be needed for the limited practices requiring it.It's not really a problem as far as availability of rope/cord material goes, true. In so far as it is an issue (and a fairly minor one, in my opinion), it's one of immersion/realism. June 06, 2019, 01:48:00 AM |
