"Huh. Wow, lots of time has passed, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it feels like it's still Orientation Day. Mostly because of a lazy ragnarok."

Electricity spells are aquagnostic. Or maybe the water's surface blocks line of effect, I don't remember.

*begins skimming rules for ways to radically change the spamgirls*

Which reminds me.

Is there some way we could balance out the number of people we get from colonization with the number of people we can employ? Everyone has 4-5 unemployed people, somewhere around a third of the total population. Unemployment was better in the Great Depression!

((If you mean can you make another character, yes. It can even have the same stats, but it can't be Grate.))

((No, I mean could Feyri and Jim have a new kid for when this all settles down. When I make a new character, he's going to be something different. Or maybe she. Might be a coin-toss.))

((Let's just say Flint is down at the tunnels fighting against a trained assasing, instead of up there, waiting for Stephen Hawking to unleash little Timmy from the void and have him posses Grate's body.))

((That could be...amusing.
If Timmy controlled Grate, could I control Timmy controlling Grate?))

[speech about Feyri's reaction to Grate's death]

((Well-written.))

((I wondered what would happen if you threw LurkerTracker at this thread, but I was afraid it would choke and die.))

((...What's LurkerTracker?))

Quote from: Xan->Dumbass Cat

I didn't, you dumbass cat. Plus I can't exactly read.

((Um...you're using the text-based messages of the wristpads...))

*stuff implying Xan's guilt*

((Prepare to add a new tragic death to the list...))

((I take it that The Roll is waiting until someone extracts whatever's left of Grate from under the rock?
And if Feyri and Jim are really lonely, could they have a new Grate cloned, albeit without memories or anything like that?))

Given the wording and the lack of him doing anything like this before, I'm pretty sure he's trying to use the mutation I listed.

Allied factions consider you one of their own-you can usually call upon at least 1000 Gold worth of favors per favor level, and you will find yourself benefiting in many non-direct ways, as well. Of course, such a position also comes with responsibility-and dangers.
Friendly factions trust you implicitly-you have proven yourself, but are not yet beholden to them. You gain at least 500 Gold worth of favors per level, and all members of this faction are likely to help you in battle if they spot you in trouble.
Neutral factions don't dislike you, but they have no reason to aid you either-not that they are barred from either. There is no reward at this level, but the members will usually refrain from attacking you. Most unlisted factions can be considered neutral or worse.
Unfriendly factions are beginning to dislike you. They will not aid you at all, and will make trouble if you wander into their territory. They may not openly assault you yet, but they are certainly keeping an eye out. It is difficult, but not impossible to make amends-usually by undertaking a quest with no open reward.
Hostile factions will attack you on sight-for whatever reason, you've been marked for death. They will actively hunt you, even outside of their normal territory and devote resources to ending your life. There is almost no way to repair this level of reputation.

All of those except Allied correspond to levels of personal trust, ie for the Diplomacy skill. Was this intentional? Would similar mechanics for (say) Diplomacy checks apply?

What does this stand for? Is it supposed to be a measure of how the characters are viewed by the factions?
