I won't be able to attend the sessions for the next two weeks

[Theoboldi]

I got a problem with it. Session ended before any sailing back to the ruins was done. It ended before noon the day we arrived in sandsedge, in fact.

I mention it because that Evening Pheron has stuff to do

I added something about that now.
Did I get everything important down now?

[Kogan Loloklam]

Much better. The session ended before they left the mages guild, but I think you split so didn't catch that. Either way it appears to be doing the main tasks.

Journals are supposed to help people understand what happened during the session so that when they come in a few sessions later they can pick up without being too lost. There are always a few discrepancies in how people view the same situation, plus how the events are written in character changing those perceptions, so it can sometimes seem to be quite off for the same situation. I like to add "also happened this session" to mine, so that some of the important things (like quest info) can be carried over even out of character, but I forget and leave things out sometimes.

Anyway, looks good to me now, though I'm not the one who gives judgment on EXP value.

[The Fool]

I think that I won't make it today. I have a final on Monday and I need to study some more.

[Shoruke]

They can relate the events of the day to their teddy-bear?

Shoruke, can i ad a teddy bear to my inventory?

>.>
<.<
Yes. It will cost you 2 sp.

Also, there will be no session today, because finals. Philosophy isn't HARD, by any means, but it does involve a schistload of reading that I should really get started on.

Spoiler: Journal (click to show/hide)

My Sister,

This long journey is unlikely to ever come to a close. I feel that my life will end before Father and I are in Rivershire again, or even before I find word of him. It seems that the endless sands upon which we glide are bereft of life; I slept uneasily in our trip from Ibaea, and took several walks upon the deck, and only once saw life in the form of a few scorpions about eight hours into the trip. This magnificent waste is awe-inspiring, indeed; however, its awe is an awe at how uniform, bleak, and seemingly never ending the sands are; it is an awe of despair which lacks beauty. However, the city of Sandsedge, to which we ride upon the sands, is on the horizon, and it is a time now for preparing to dock. Finally, the time comes when I can stop counting the stars or searching for a semblance of sleep and I can actually do something. I will finish this letter when I have time.

(here the journal's handwriting changes into a neater script, though it is almost certainly the same author, though less asleep and bored)

The city provided some amount of rest. Finally, there are things to do, though the guard of the footpath had no news of Father. We had some time to rest, and then went to the mages' guild. Unfortunately, we must endure that long, wretched trip back to Ibaea. I believe the stars are too few; I will count grains of sand this time.

With love,
Ethan

[Kogan Loloklam]

so ' == " when paired?
(Edit: I assume that this is referencing Nesting.)

[RAM]

I don't really understand it to be honest, but it seems that ' is used as a constant for the string " and that the two are interchangeable in macro language, except in that a ' is recognised as a ' in a string designated by ". What is really weird is trying to use ' as a constant, on its own it is recognised as a string designator, but in "[h: name="+'+"bob"+'+"]
[r:name]" it works as a variable with the value of ". That it isn't recognised as a string designator is quite bizarre...

P.S.
 It seems that a " in a string designated by ' will be recorded as a " within that string, but what happens the the +s in '+"bob"+' if they are in an area designated as a string?

Indeed '[h: name="bob"][r:name]' seems to be recognised as a single string which includes "bob" but that still doesn't explain "+'+"bob"+'+"...

[The Fool]

This might have drawn on a little too long, but can we create a new, more definitive poll for the ship's name? We have something like 23 votes in the original poll and several people changed their minds, and posted new names since then. The list of names is on page 79 if anyone is interested.

We should make a decision of what should be in the poll before we hold a vote though. A new list of names should be made (in an attempt to shorten the list of names). To start this off I'll nominate my choice from the last list, Maelstrom. I'll make a list of nominations and update it whenever possible. To make it less complicated and to avoid a fight over name rejection no names will be rejected unless it's necessary. If no one wants a specific name then it can be crossed off the list as well.

Spoiler: Ship's name nominations (click to show/hide)

Blind Zephyr
Bote
Desert Wind
Maelstrom
If I missed a posted name let me know.

To nominate a name, just mention it and I'll add it as soon as I can.

[RAM]

The lists around the reply#1170 mark do not seem to include any of the original suggestions. If we are leaving it to a vote then I would like to see all options being available and leaving it to the vote alone, unless someone wishes to express a complete personal incompatibility with a particular name. Although the voting system seems a bit flawed, give someone a single vote and the votes will likely be spread out and folk will be encouraged to make alternate accounts and such to vote for something more popular if their original vote is lonely. Let people vote for everything they want to and it will likely result in a tie with a small list of items getting votes from everyone.
 Maybe you could use a multiple vote system to generate a list of popular items and then place only those in a single-vote environment...

[RedWarrior0]

I say just do it informally: have everyone say which they (dis)like.

[The Fool]

There was a voting system like that online, but I'd need to find it again. The idea was actually to create a new list that is made up of both old and new names. The two most popular in the current vote should probably be added onto the new list, my fault.

Anyways, when all the name ideas are in I'll make a poll with multiple votes. Name gathering shouldn't run on longer than a week or two though. We haven't had a ship name for about a month or two now.

[RedWarrior0]

I think Bote is a fittinng name.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Yea, I've been treating the name as "Bote" too, since the issue was never forced in a Session, and it became so hard to come up with a consensus. If we are trying to name it something else, let's take the start of the next session to determine it. That way it's decided once and for all.
