Wish for a more comfortable bed and roll the dice, then take a nap.

Just hit Print screen regularly? Isn't there also a picture button in spore itself?

Again, sends it out of Spore; and AFAIK only for the Creators. Would you be fine with limiting pictures to the creatures and whatnot, and if not does anyone know what's causing the issue?

Blast! I never knew you could add assymetrical body parts. I could have created a really cool looking creature based off of that idea...

You need one of the patches, 1.004 or 1.005. I remember that on my last computer it kept asking if I wanted to install the patches until I installed GA (which did not include the asymmetry patch, sadly), but it's not doing that now.
If we want asymmetry, we have to answer one question: How?

((Dangit, I thought we were dropping during the last RP thing.))

Oh criminy, new issue.

Where is the Windows 8 version of Paint found?

You consider making a weapon, but decide that there's nothing to use it on. Instead, you decide to make the vending machine better...somehow.

You also check the fog. Nothing. You call it "Hell".

Detail on what you want is nice.

And what's the Soylent Green made from, anyway?

Um...think about it for a sec. What do you put into the machine to make it?

I was thinking "people".

Why did you think that?

Read the Little Red Book.

Wish we had more power, roll dice.

That's the problem--we're not medieval fathers with a "Child deaths are sad but common" mentality, we're modern people with a "Children are important" attitude.
They called you names, but you have to admit that, from the modern perspective we all have, suggesting leaving one's wife and young son to die of plague is pretty heartless.
Oh, and the hunting lodge is Sir Stone's, not Gervassen's. Did you actually build it? Did you send the paperwork to Stone or send the gold? You might feel possessive of it, but claiming ownership of it is just petty.

I'm not terribly interested in Modern Guy: A Suggestion Game

Neither am I, but you need to act as though you're discussing what to do with Modern Guys, because you are. Never forget that.

I never even suggested that the wife and child should actually be left behind. If you check again, you'll see that I did plan for them to be safe in the lodge with the soldiers. I was just challenging the sentiment that Marna and child are irreplaceable and more important than loyal and experienced followers.

You implied it, and again there. Saying that Marna and the child aren't that important.
Stone may have lived in medieval times, but he's still a father. If you're a parent, imagine how you would react. If not...ask someone who is, I guess. I'm not, but I listened to my parents enough to know that my father would put his son and wife above two soldiers.
And, frankly, this isn't modern; this is basic instinct going back as long as it conceivably could, because people who didn't do so naturally were selected for removal from the gene pool. It's something that can't be overcome by much of anything except pure logic, which is frankly something humans suck at in real-world situations.

Our loyal troops are the reason that we remain a medieval lord at the end of the day. That was the realpolitik of the era. We're playing a game while exploring aspects of medieval life. That's the fun. If this becomes entirely about modern perspective imposing a condescending narrative upon the past, then the game loses something important.

It's for a modern audience, however. If half the people reading this turn angrily away because we wouldn't let Marna and Issac in--or even if they didn't, but instead gained more hatred for you for suggesting it--would the game be more or less fun?

Also, I disagree a little. If Ebbor told me, "I planned those ice cellars for something other than ice cream" then I'd have given him the chance to implement his original vision. The initial suggester sometimes has a much more coherent plan in mind for a suggestion than other people, and while claiming ownership over an suggestion is definitely too possessive, nevertheless the original plan for something should be respected and taken into account on some level.

Was the hunting lodge planned for housing troops?

As it is, the soldiers and rangers were originally to protect the wife and child while hunting game for them, with the added advantage of saving some skilled followers. Then someone suggested the soldiers stay home, then someone suggested the forest was too dangerous for a woman and child alone, so everyone should stay home. If you don't see how that idea became neutered into oblivion with each new suggestion, then I'm at a loss here.

I see it, I just don't see why you argued your point the way you did. That seemed to make things worse.

The 1 roll resulted in us, as uneducated farmer, completely believing the physician. I'm afraid we can't just press for modern day quarantine.

Even medieval people knew well enough to keep away from sick people. Scrap the scientific stuff, sure, but removing the sick from the healthy is an idea within the limits of the period.

I suppose a major issue is defining "modern day quarantine". Something as simple as "avoid the guy with the plague" is fine, but is that a "modern day quarantine"?
