OOC Thread

Go ahead and give me an IC post about speeding up the process.
 
Working on it.

EDIT:

As an aside, going to have to dispute Arynne Arynne 's idea that the OCTP zoned anywhere for poverty. It wasn't a capitalist system. It functioned by guaranteeing that currency flowed and circulated, rather than collecting in a few hands and staying there. Zoning an area for poverty would run counter to its intended function of using the flow of trade and white jade to stabilize Creation. The OCTP was like Khorne that way. It didn't care from whence the trade flowed, only that it did.

OK, should I put "the Deliberative's economists" instead?

(Also, Ash probably has very little understanding of the intricacies of the OCTP)
 
Still a jab of sorts at Ink per her concept...individual Deliberators might decree poverty for their people, but the overall trend from what Dreams says was prosperity, with the Outback Prefecture being the chief and crowning exception to that.
 
Except the people on Cormorant, or Okeanos, or the Opal Crags...

"The people of the Opal Crags are a hard folk covered in a layer of black dust. For thousands of years, they have sifted their mountains and mined fine materials for the service of the Deliberative and the Age of Splendor. Little returns in exchange. I AM delivers news and letters to villages and towns later here than it does elsewhere in Creation. Information is often weeks old (if not months). The Order Conferring Trade Pattern relies on some areas’ being less accessible and less viable to civilized living. This region proves how hard that aspect of the Pattern can be on that fringe of civilization."

Also, that was not a jab at Ink. Ash was not thinking about Ink at all, but about the difference between all the hype that was put forth about the Age of Splendors and the reality.
 
Fair. So perhaps better to say the far West and the roughest bits of the North.

I say it ended up a jab at Ink because her whole concept is that she was the predominant overseer of the Trade Pattern.

And she came from hands down the poorest and most lawless place in the 1st Age. She'd not allow places to be zoned for poverty. She couldn't change the policies of every Elder deliberator in their own provinces, but she could affect anywhere that wasn't under Elder Fiat of poverty. Even if her intimacies permitted her to ignore poverty, her Virtue Flaw wouldn't.

But point taken and fair. She'd have tried to improve those places, but well, inertia is a thing.
 
Right. And Ash, who also came from one of the rough bits, and has never cared to enlighten herself about economics, saw only the inertia.

That's the funny thing. Ash and Ink are both sufficiently strong personalities with a tendency to make snap judgments to butt heads, but they both are the sort that they'd actually probably get along really well should they ever actually get to where they understand where the other's coming from. :p
 
We'd all do better to spend less time analyzing the thoughts of other players and focusing instead on what they say or do. Or this is going to be a rather strenuous game! ;) Especially given how differently a lot of folks see Exalted (or prefer their Exalted).

As for dice, you make a post. Then you edit it and you'll see there's a 'Throw Dice' option right between the Preview and Cancel buttons.
 
Thanks for the heads up on that. I'm working on the post. I know the effect side of things, just trying to come up with a proper unifying narrative for it.
 
Ok, the first part of the write-up is done. I posted up a narrative for Ink's pitch / Gathering the Congregation.

Oh! Is that eligible for a stunt bonus, Sherwood Sherwood ?

I have my computer back, so I can get to posting shortly.
 
Sorry. Been waiting to see if anyone else is going to post. I'll have an IC post up soon.
 
I have some errands to run today, but I can make a post up later on to move things forward a bit.
