Where do you store it when it's hot?


Madelin: I-it doesn't really get hot here, just warm enough to grow crops during spring and summer. But we usually store them close to the guards main facility. C-can't say much more then that.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>

What you stated defines 'jumping to conclusions'. Also, the humans in the world still live in tribes, so human law is at its infancy, and hasn't developed into anything even remotely totalitarian. Based on his actions, all he's done is try to negotiate rather than dominate. So I'm giving people the opportunity to chat and get to know him. I just feel that given what information is currently available in the game, this degree of aversion is unwarranted. The reason I brought up metagaming it because it can be perceived as if player bias and player knowledge is influencing character behavior.


That's what I was aiming to describe, because though I did forget to think about how humans are in their infancy, people jumping to conclusions is still likely, though maybe not in the way I described. I also didn't intend to imply that anything totalitarian had or was likely to form, just pulling from something earlier to try and support my point. Also you make a good point there, and I will apologize for having jumped to conclusions myself, though my intent was just to help facilitate communication of the issue and have it more cleanly defined.

Is this a good harvest year?


Madelin: *I keep working as I respond.*
S-somewhat. The crops themselves have grown well enough, but keeping the harvests stored for long amounts of time is somewhat difficult. Thankfully the colder weather of winter will help with that, though we can't grow much once it sets in with its snow and chill.

As for what @Stabby said, people keep jumping to the conclusion that Gammaton's laws are going to be rigid. Yes, he may be OCD and desire order in his heart, it's not what he's going to act upon. And are Anu and Dirka promoting war between gods or between mortals/humans?


But the thing is that unless they chat and get to know Gam', most will assume that the laws he writes will be rigid, given that the first thing that comes to mind when they hear "Law" is a rigid system that doesn't always do good for all of the times it intends to do good. Like with what was mentioned in his conversation with Iva, it's hard to write a set of laws that can't be abused by someone who wants to minimise risks and maximize gains. Doesn't mean it isn't possible, just that it's uncommon and poorly represented within the idea of law itself.
After all, the only point of reference most gods would have for understanding law would be humans themselves, and I'm pretty sure most human laws present are fairly rigid right now.

Edit: I will apologize for having made assumptions, but given his domain it's kinda hard not to.

Sure! That sounds great.


Madelin: A-alright then. *Walks over to the back of the Guild building and removes a board like the one the teenager was holding off of the wall, while also picking up a basket of organized little blocks sitting below it. I then proceed to carry both over to a northern garden and start grabbing and sliding the little blocks into place as I check the soil, the leaves, the stem, and any buds if it has them.*
@Stern Algorithm
Just dropping my own two cents in on this, though I might be wrong.

I'd say that though what he offered might have been tempting, he caught her at a bad time in a bad mood. Not only that, but she's made a deal with Anu to promote war, which though laws and order could give rise to organized military governments, it would eventually end on peace treaties, which as much as I may or may not understand her motives, would in the end likely be counterproductive to the deal she made with Anu.

She wants order through chaos after all, not chaos caused by rigid order.

*Shakes my head*
I'm afraid I know nothing about botany.


Madelin: Th-then at best I guess you could tag along and learn a few things as I discussed them with others. I-if you're ok with that, that is.
@A Lowly Wretch - Thank you.

I figured it would be tricky, given how broadly encompassing change itself is, so I started drafting it out once I really began to figure out the idea and have been refining what I have in mind. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it got shot down, so I'll try to think of some other deities I might want to play.

As would I. I'd like to get the idea fully fleashed out, or shot down, beforehand for when the time becomes available. As such I'm wondering if it would be ok for me to pm what drafts I currently have on hand over to you.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>

It's perfectly fine. I'd like to help in any way I can.


Madelin: O-ok. I appreciate it, even if I can't think of anything I could use help with right now.
...unless you know how to document the health of different plants.
Really wish I had found this sooner, cause it looks like a blast! Kinda wishing I had the time to join right now, but maybe later.
That aside, would a god/goddess of change be possible?
