I'm personally just glad to get rid of the yellow upgrade button.

The big advantage for a vampire queen in LA Ulm is that you can give her paths your nation doesn't normally get much of and then bring those into a communion. There's a lot to be said for 1-3 pips in Earth or Nature on a vampire queen for boosters (Earth Stone, Armour of Twisting Thorns), communicant buffs (Earthpower, Personal Regeneration) and big Earth/Nature combat spells that can be cast in a communion.

The usual way to balance it is to generate N nations per player and let each player choose only from their own pool.

So, do you already have a userbase for your forum? Or are you hoping to draw them in with the forum mechanics?

Life Advice / Re: How do you indicate to a girl you like her?
« on: February 22, 2018, 02:18:33 am »
So, my advice is a lot less complicated, but.

Say to her that you like her and want to hang out.

Do so with your words, from your mouth, in person.

Regardless, I'm out. A game this big can potentially go on for months, I'm not going to commit to that if everyone else is going to TL;DR and half ass everything. Give me a full ass, or give me death!

Changed my mind about playing; if we can't even discuss what makes for a good map without it being called 'drama' I can't imagine that the rest of the game will be any better.

Please put me down as LA Abysia! (so glad that I caught this in time to get in on a game)

Is the crawl wiki broken for anyone else? All of the pages are blank. The history pages shows that they weren't blanked, but the read pages still don't have anything on them.

Lidocain injections aren't very dangerous. Neurolysis is a bit more dangerous, but only about as dangerous as donating blood.

So gender dysphoria is a thing, or at least it is debatably a thing. Could someone have dysphoria over being a person? Could someone just dislike being a person, or being human so much that it develops into a mental disorder? I haven't been able to actually look up any examples, but there's that whole "otherkin" thing that has been going on in tumblr and such for a while. I kind of want to disclude them but that'd be a horrible bias, even if they do just want to be snowflakes.
Theoretically, yes. But there's no useful treatment to recommend, so there's no point diagnosing someone with species dysphoria or whatever the technical term would be, and no research done into that sort of thing.

Honestly, I find the whole "otherkin are cringey special snowflakes" meme kinda terrible. Maybe they really would be happier as an tiger or anthromorphic manseal or whatever. If we had the technology to make that happen, there'd be no reason not to let them make use of it in their pursuit of self-actualization. We don't, which is vaguely sad in the same way that our ongoing lack of flying cars and robot maids is sad, but that's no reason to mock someone for wishing it was possible.

Rather poorly. It does transfer, but it doesn't work if your fatigue is greater than 100, and without Fire magic of their own, the communion slaves get a lot of fatigue from the spell itself. Expect no more than one explosion per mage, at best.

Not really? They get the same high end angel conjurations. Blood Inquisitors are superior to Fire Inquisitors, as they can join Sabbaths and lay down absurd amounts of Banishment. Goetics are leaner than Witch Hunters, but I don't consider that a disadvantage - paying an extra 70 gold for H1, Leadership and a Patrol bonus isn't really worth it, and F1H1 and leadership isn't worth the extra 105 for the StR versions. LA gets much better Air access (for owl quills, water breathing, winged shoes and bows of war) and Water access (frost brands and boots of quickness on your angels) at all.

Sure, the stealth and 40 leadership on Friars is better than the sailing and 10 leadership on Missionaries, but they're still recruit-anywhere H1s to bless your Flagellants. Sure, the Hand of Justice is dreadful, but it's not like you were going to seriously base your bless around expensive the Cap Only units instead of your angels or recruit-literally-anywhere flagellants?
