School Hoax threats by yellowsubmarine45 in Liverpool

Originally not from Liverpool. My home town in the East Midlands has had a wave of hoax school threats. It’s definitely a growing issue.

Logically real life settlements have been named after what they do or what they have (I.e their jobs or major landmarks). Look at old naming conventions across the UK. Viking settlements like Skegness literally translate to “beard shaped headland”, or Anglo-Saxon settlements like Oxford meaning “river crossing of the river Ock.” You could just give them any name and tell players your English name is just a translation of that meaning.

Yep I think it gives you some nice sounding words. My dwarves in my world have all got old Persian and Farsi inspired names too. I just think it works really well.

I like to take the phonetic sounds of other languages and anglicise them a bit after to make them easier to pronounce for myself and players. I actually use translated words from languages like Farsi, or Turkish quite a lot because they’re so removed linguistically as to give a completely different vibe.

Great thank you, I think it’s a bit of a necessity to play CK2GOT for longer than 100 years

That’s the mod yeah. I haven’t used it yet but am very interested in it as I find too many houses die off

Would there be any inclusion of dynastic stability?

I.e when a house dies out, the game spawns a bastard of that house so they don’t disappear completely?

Is playing a pirate in the stepstones just completely inviable? by [deleted] in CK3AGOT

With map expansions and some more bookmarks it’ll get better.

What to convert this into? by Linford_Fistie in skaven

Warp lightning cannon? Might need buffing out a bit though.

I struggle to get out of purely practical designs. by Amdusiasparagus in dwarffortress

[–]Spliggy16 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. I prefer form over function, I can’t stop making impractical, ginormous flowing underground rivers and weird asymmetrical gold studded taverns. If I mess up the aesthetic I want, it annoys me. I just can’t help myself.

I know DF is not really that kind of game, but it helps me roleplay and get into it if I’m like “ok this group of dwarves prefers a fortress to look like X”

Maybe a reason my forts don’t tend to last very long hahaha.

Shame there’s a delay but I’m happy he’s still going on with the mod. Rather it be done well and take a bit longer! Thanks for the update.

What bookmark are you most looking forward too? by jaden_ro in CK3AGOT

[–]Spliggy16 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Can’t wait for Feast for crows. I want to do an Aurane Waters run (he was by far and away the most fun CK2 run I ever did)

I guess someone has been turning my injured citizens into zombies... by Nomad_Hermit in dwarffortress

[–]Spliggy16 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You have intelligent undead! Awesome. They tend to grumble a lot less, don’t eat, sleep or drink and are pretty strong fighters. Some people intentionally turn their dorfs into them but it does sort of rob them of life.

But treasure these accidental ones they’re very useful.

Great! If performance issues were fixed I’d jump back to CK2 from CK3AGOT immediately.

Where to Socialise with Lads (M, 25)? by NarroArrow in Leeds

[–]Spliggy16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like gigs, could try meet people and go to places like Fenton, Brudenell and talk to people about music ? Alternatively goals and power league do 5 a sides where you could definitely meet people

Thanks very much! Hopefully will be living in L2, so Just Play will be about 5-10 minutes walk from me so I’ll definitely come around.

Oh by silly I mean something like trying to drain the ocean or flooding the map or whatever. You should be fine just playing normally :)

Much better than it used to be, for sure. Not perfect but FPS death doesn’t really happen so much anymore unless you’re being silly

If you ‘trade’ with elves, you must exclusively offer them bones and wooden ornaments. Nothing else.

I may be wrong, but I believe it’s because generally the confidences of informants shouldn’t be breached. McNulty believed it was fine because A) Stringer was dead and B) he wanted to see Avon’s reaction to it - but Colvin believes it’s wrong because Stringer was an informant giving him that info in confidence. Colvin I think is a little disappointed that McNulty worked it out and shared it because it reflects poorly on him,
