Guys, please. Keep it in the bedroom.

Don't interrupt the honeymoon.

EDIT:
This revision relies on the F44 design, or anything else implementing the can wire telephone wired Linkgem.
Future Revision: Wireless Linkgem

We've already created the Linkgem, a slightly modified Magegem that turns audio into magical signals and vice versa, for travelling across a wire. This was the easy part, as we had already done magic and audio conversion and the only real addition was keeping the signals tidy and adding a wire between two gems.
But now comes the real challenge. A wireless Linkgem.

There exist uncountable types of ambient magic not normally of consequence to the real world. Through Mathemagics, certain frequencies that don't interfere with all known applications of magic (including anti-magic of both sides!) can be isolated.

Then we can apply a slightly different form of the sound-magic conversion method already employed in the Linkgem to convert the sound to that magical frequency and transmit it throughout the area. Other Linkgems set to the same frequency will absorb these waves and convert them to sound, creating an effective wireless method of communication.
This being a revision, unfortunately we don't have time to implement ideas such as another AAA Magegem "dial" that changes the frequency on the go. While we should b able to implement this in future applications of the Linkgems, for now our Linkgems will be set to certain frequencies at production.

Ultimately, this is just a tweaking of our current audio<->magic conversion methods to work with certain magical frequencies and removing the wire so these magical waves transmit freely.
TL;DR: Make magical radios. This is only a revision if we make wired Linkgems first. And as wired Linkgems are effectively just can telephones, that part should be easy and able to be done as a minor element of an existing design or maaaybe a revision. Otherwise this is probably a design.

Looks like a tie between saving the credits and expensing mage gems.  Coin flip in an hour or so.

Looks like a tie between saving the credits and expensing mage gems.  Coin flip in an hour or so.

But it isn't a tie. The vote is 3-1 in favour of using them on magegems.

[helmacon]

I think the votes are to save one credit and use one on mage gems.

Expense Credit: Magegems

We further cheapen production of magegems, decreasing the cost by 1.

AAAethergems are Cheap.
AAethergems are Cheap.
Aethergems are Expensive.

We create a new type of gem to fill the Very Expensive slot, referred to as a D-level Aethergem, or "Dethergem".  It has storage equivalent to two Aethergems, and recharges fully in five minutes.

The AS-R1 is Cheap now, as are all our special ammo types.  The Mundane goes down an expense level.

[Andres]

Do we also get greater R and E on our shells? You gave an affirmative to that idea on the Discord.

[evictedSaint]

No.  The gems just became cheaper, and you'd need to design/revise new shells to use better gems.  It's just an expense credit.

[FallacyofUrist]

Was this credit used on Magegems, or Aethergems, or does doing one improve the other as well?

[evictedSaint]

They're pretty much the same thing at this point.

[evictedSaint]

Expense Credit Withheld.

How will you deal with the Saint this year?

[RAM]

As terrifying as she is, we must not show them our magic. For surely they could learn all our spells just from seeing them! So everything has to be performed from obscured locations...

[evictedSaint]

Combat Report in an hour, finish up deciding how to deal with the Saint guys.

[Draignean]

Seduce them.

[helmacon]

Serious proposal,

Show the saint our magi-tech (trains, tanks, assembly lines) but not any of our actual magic.

[Gwolfski]

where's that text from the discord?

that sounded good
