Unreasonable Demands
« on: August 17, 2011, 05:25:00 pm »
Is it a bug that nobles may make impossible to fill demands?  My current noble wants a bismuth bronze bed in her tomb, I didn't think you could make beds out of metal.

Yep. This happens. One of the best excuses reasons to kill nobles.

Failed demands don't result in the wrath of justice - they just make the noble angry. Feel free to ignore them.

Fail joke is fail, mostly due to the pun using a word that isn't real.
A better phrasing would be:
"You could almost say meeting them isn't... mandatory."
It works even better, because mandate is the base of mandatory, but not as much for demandatory (which isn't an actual word).
Of course, it's still not funny.
And there's your interjected English lesson for the day.

Oh, and you could've just repurposed this topic to the other one, if you wanted. That's generally easier/less cluttering.

Given the tendency of people on this forum to clutter topics up themselves, I don't think it really matters.  (ie, 80% of posts in this thread not tangentially being about the OP, including yours.)

Yeah, I know. The forums are hopelessly cluttered; I just wanted to make sure that you knew you can edit your posts and whatnot. Some people don't know that.
And my justification for an off-topic post is that the thread was dead in all but sinking already. Although, who needs justification to post in a dying, topic-ended thread?
I just found another reason to repurpose topics: There's not a wild thread thrashing about on the first two pages.
No offense intended to you or anyone else, in case I came off as kind of harsh here. Just posting without significant content.

I'm not fussed, the reason I don't browse here regularly is the sheer amount of off topic garbage that's piled onto each thread, so I've accepted it's going to happen.
