Going with Kinaed's thoughts, indeed a cigar type roll of tobacco into other leaves is originally how Columbus reported the Tainos of Cuba smoked tobacco when he first encountered it. Smoking in pipes actually came after, arguably, historically/technology wise. I think one thought would be - could w...

One of the current problems with playing priests is played out on this thread. OOCly, people consider attending such functions boring and a waste of their time and will freely say so. That confession is a risk (true) and well ... speaking to someone might not be able to help, so why bother. I'm not ...

I can assure you it's possible with a Greenhouse. If tabac is meant to cost that much, either the helpfile and/or on grid prices might need a peek. There's on grid NPC places that sell a pinch for less than ten silver. There's some PC shops that have had them for five. And each pinch is worth four s...

Tabac is only arguably at insane prices if people are buying stuff from the NPC shops. One can indeed plant and grow their own tabac - perhaps not in huge endlessly quantities but still. And why you'd want something more expensive is the same as why people want to drink brandy and not cheap 1 silver...

Seems like a thing to come out of this is perhaps we shouldn't let people make characters younger than the IC age of marriage/consent of 16. There are policies against certain types of RP anyways, but maybe for reasons listed here it's just a bad idea if people can and will twist/misconstrue things ...

Otherwise, is there anyway to allow folks to set what their idle timer is?

*bump*

With Assets now soon coming in to play - was the two week turnover for metrics decided on? And was the bug with the current timer on them fixed, as currently it says:

The current cycle will end in -17328 days. [-17328:-2:-41]

Does this mean people are going to be able to set up and create their own Guilds?

Hmm, if only staff can change the coded name on Assets, how do people who use an alias in RP sell assets?

Do assets no longer work over a name change like houses/shops? (If so ... how does that work?)

If the goal was spreading out some of the ranks a bit at the top tiers - adding some of the exotics from other cultures - Farin avocados for example, would be cool.

There's some items on grid currently that can't be grown that would be cool to have the ability to grow.
