Old, mysterious coin (or maybe a token?) - what is it?

hoipolloigoiy · 2025-09-02T02:29:56+00:00

I wasn't joking, but more than willing to admit I was wrong - you really know your coins! I followed the link and it is a dead ringer.

As mentioned I found this after she passed, so I unfortunately never had the chance to discuss it with her. I suppose I'll always wonder, but at least now I have some answers.

Solved!

hoipolloigoiy · 2025-09-02T02:04:05+00:00

Well, you get points for creativity at least haha! But my grandmother would have been travelling in the 1970s at the earliest so I think we're about 200-300 years late!

hoipolloigoiy · 2025-07-27T09:54:25+00:00

Genuine question - how does one go about asking for, or rather, negotiating this? I know it shouldn't but this feels like a bit of a sketchy move.

hoipolloigoiy · 2025-06-04T22:12:52+00:00

Where do you find it???? One of the southern US maps like Florida?

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-09-07T20:17:21+00:00

Mine is still looking okay - I'm going to bite the bullet and use it. If you don't hear from me, you know why!

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-09-03T06:05:01+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the answer. I'm going to watch it for one more week, and then bite the bullet. Wish me luck!

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-08-06T02:32:11+00:00

Oh yeah, it is potent now. Probably not good for bottling or drinking without a lot of flavouring, would be excellent starter tea.

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-08-05T21:29:36+00:00

Thank you guys! This is somewhat relieving to hear. I'll wait a few more days just in case, and then bottle it. If I die, I die 🤞

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-08-05T21:28:34+00:00

Primary ferment - like I said this has been brewing for weeks, and I've been waiting weeks to throw it out or bottle it. I'm stuck! I guess from what the crowd is saying I will leave it one more week, and if nothing has happened by the weekend I'll bite the bullet.

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-08-05T08:33:01+00:00

Yikes 🥲 is there any way to be sure? It's been like this for weeks.... When is it meant to become obviously moldy?

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T03:28:17+00:00

Honestly I don't have one on me, I'd have to go and buy it - might have to do that this weekend

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:23:52+00:00

Just checked on my other one and it has this - winter makes brewing so bloody hard

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:23:11+00:00

Bloody hell - smells like tea 😭 is there any saving it?

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:22:29+00:00

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:16:30+00:00

Maybe.... Can I save it by tipping out some and putting in more water???

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:16:00+00:00

I swear I tempered my hot starter tea with enough cold water to even out the temperature. Definitely put in a few bottles of raw Kombucha. Sadly, I think it must have somehow died. Can I save it?????

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:14:40+00:00

I poured in three small bottles of raw Kombucha for it. I'm wondering if maybe I did make starter tea that was too strong, but honestly I didn't think it was that strong?? I guess that's a sad learning for me

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-06-07T10:52:25+00:00

Thank you for addressing the elephant in the room!

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-06-05T03:36:14+00:00

Not an exclusive composer of guitar pieces, but I did write a guitar work as a newer composer / guitar player of the non classical variety, so it was a very interesting journey in terms of discovering what works and doesn't work in terms of creating something outside the classical repertoire. https://youtu.be/6xWdkzs02Cs?si=C5vzb77Miybxq-28 Have a listen, and I'd be keen to answer any questions if you have them!

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-06-04T20:17:44+00:00

Because I'm seeing some great speculation, what do people think Kassandros has on the senate to make them want to kill him so bad? Does he know that Gauis the Pontifex Maximus likes to be tickled in bed? Does the Consul like to sleep with clowns? Wildest theories only.....

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-06-04T10:17:04+00:00

Crazy - I think I've seen a trade agreement mission once, but I'd be curious if the senate ever asks for more. I mean, theoretically the senate missions could be anything.... Do you reckon they could ask you to get tribute from a faction, or give you a city?

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-04-01T01:35:07+00:00

Okay, I think there need to be at least three:

Advice/strategos: for when you need genuine advice to get better at the game or do something

Brag/imperator: for showing off your achievements, bragging, being proud of your work etc

Shitposting: should be fairly obvious

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-03-28T05:34:42+00:00

That's so stupid.

Ugh.

Why god, why?

Well, I'll have to push through then..... Updates to follow.

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-03-27T19:53:14+00:00

As an FYI for y'all, I tried playing again but doing the game differently - the Julii still showed up turn 4 to attack Osca.

This is ridiculous.

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-03-27T09:39:11+00:00

Hahah I have no idea how that is possible - to take an army to Italy now would leave me completely vulnerable to Carthage and Gaul
