players, The Seaborne Confederation has a glut of unmarried folks, old and young. Any takers?

Prudence “Spitfire” Jarrow. Female, mixed ancestry. born 483. 2nd Cousin to Skipper Elizabeth, would become your character.
Katherine “Kitten” Jarrow Female, mixed ancestry. born 485. 2nd Cousin to Skipper Elizabeth, would become your character.
Silene Onerogin. Male, Quill. born 495. Eldest son of Kina. Wife would become my character.
Li Mako. Salterri, Male, Islander, and Cloudiz ancestery. Born 497. Skipper-Emeritus Percival’s grandson, ties to Salterri Qzare's family as well. Would become your character, or not (your choice)
Darrel Grant. ale, mostly Islander. Born 503. Skipper Elizabeth’s son. Would become your character, or not (your choice)

I have one quasi-marriageable young lady I'd forgotten about: Selwyn FitzJarrow, illegitimate daughter of Prince Aldin (and thus Tempest's great-great-granddaughter; niece to two kings, one queen consort and one princess consort, and sister-in-law to the heir apparent to the Isles), born 507. Following the IC suggestion of a Sphynks I've asked Kasa about that, but if that doesn't work out I'd happily send her to the Confederation, for any of the last three.

For added incest value her father would likely happily enough marry Prudence or Katherine, although children are probably out of the question at this stage.

I guess that's what happens if you get all your history from Caercian textbooks...

That and a bunch of hype about the Glorious Sterk Navy, yup.

They're receiving wider print than I could have ever imagined!

The Sterkest Book Company is responsible for printing a lot of history books for academic use. They can't help it that their version of history is the most correct one.

"'Sycia' is spelled 'Sicily' throughout this thing. -_-"

And for some strange reason, Celero is referred to as Celery!

[Reggiejam]

Who the hell gave Sterk Sailors access to a Printing Press!? Don't they know every single book is going to discuss one minor battle in the Wars of the Mandate?

[Ophidian]

Nice new OOC, I must say.

I like the new carpeting.

Very fluffy.

What percentage would you rate this added incest value at? What's the currency?

[HalfTangible]

I'm gonna be gone most of the day tomorrow. Just as a warning to anyone waiting on me to do stuff.

[Morph Bark]

Btw Durk, could you slap an "empire!" tag on the Grand Ball thread, so it's easier to find later?

[QuintonBeck]

Round will close in approximately 3 hours.

[Kitsanth]

awesome, I can do a lot in 2 hours.

1 hour you say? I better hurry! :P

I physically cannot type faster than I already am.

Requesting GM rulings for the following:

• Do Crescent Jellies (the resource) count as a viable [Poison] for the Aquatic Cloud tech that Way has?
  - - - As a form of Jellyfish, they do have a certain amount of poison within them, but we are uncertain if this would fill the tech requirement.
• Can Shintouite be used underwater, or is the material corrosive within Sea Water?

These are not time sensitive (don't need to know before round closes), but would be nice to have the official information on.

The technology is for poison specifically so will work unaltered for Poison resources but animals with poison would likely need to be Cur 5 adapted since they have a potential for broader applicability and were not the intended resource.

I see no reason it wouldn't work underwater but if Way wishes to object he can.

Also, while the plan is still for an hour and a half from this post round close it may be somewhere after but I would advise getting edits done before then.

I think a new post with a "If in b4 lock, this posts takes precedence" statement might work. But make sure it is mistake free.

[QuintonBeck]

Y'all have 18 minutes. I'm closing it down on the hour mark.

Depends on market rates. Currency: local.

Round 42 is open!

Round 42 is open!

So very very interesting...

Murgen, I've posted a tech this round that I think you might be interested in, specifically in what it does. If you'd be interested in having the final breakthroughs having come through some international collaboration, or w/e really, I'd love to hear it. I'm asking this mainly because you've used Thundersheet Plant speaking trumpets a lot and I'm guessing you've had some ideas for a tech for them. Amplification doesn't have to be that, but I thought it would make sense.

I don't really mind talking in the OOC, but if you'd prefer PMs I have space free.

[Rain Dragon]

I'll be busy over the next couple of days, so I've already put the Games thread on the forums so there's less waiting around if I'm busy for longer than anticipated.

[SamBurke]

Did some photoshop work; composited some new images for EMPIRE! The first is issued by the newest ruling house of Guilder, De Luca Investments. It's not a government-issue florin, but with their power so great now, it's usable for goods and currency.

This second is part of a series I want to do; postcards from various locations around Telluris. If you're interested in one (and only one) from your nation, send me some details on vacation spots. This one took me about 12 hours though, because I built basically everything in the "picture" from other pieces. Thus it will take a similarly long time for me to do your favorite scenic location.

One or the other on bonuses there.

Sam I really like the coin, it's very cool!

Really?

Ah well, diplomatic colonisation it is.

Hey Snow, the Caragita roll is busted. RollV doesn't take +x. So all of those rolls are low by 5.
