I mean, what counts an actual people? You're pretty sure they were initially items, yes, but if your supposition that they are items to which Hylena granted awareness just so that she could enjoy their terror as she turned them to stone is correct... is the difference really meaningful?

Food for thoughts, I guess. If the question was "the statues were actually crafted from the material provided by the contest organizers, even if it's possible that she bestowed life on them once she'd crafted the items", then yes, you're sure the statues were not living creatures before the materials they're composed of made its way to Hylena's hands.

In reply to September (msg # 4):

Referring to the list September put in #4, I have added in:
Beehive, web, egg, iris, magnolia, grapes, cloak, chest.
Still missing: Heart, Club, Scarab, Clover (these are all special in some way), plus:
Bridle, Banana, helmet, glasses, vest, gauntlet.

We now have the complete set of Greenhouse/Alchemical contests, and one other unknown area.

I believe you only rerolled four times, when you should have rerolled five, so you're missing one token. You also got 2 Strings, while you only noted down one. Also, at the end, it's 2 Chest (not three), 2 Maps, and a Knife - you have them listed one by one there for some reason.

Also, have you included the tokens Nàr brought along in your count, and the two Banner just earned?

In reply to Supervisor of reality (msg # 35):

Thanks for the re-rolls, I mis-counted them. Reroll added an extra belt.

The duplicate rows were also mistakes, correcting now.


I did not take into account Banner or Nar's tokens, I just compared what I added to what September had listed in msg #4 on this thread.

There's a misconception that Verik can create a mind-bridge - because earlier I was referring to something someone else could do and it came across like Verik was doing it - but in fact he can only mentally communicate with other Munavri (absent some other effect).

Ah, ok! I will update my Buffs thread entry and post, thanks

So, since Banner wants to go to the greenhouse, and Verik hasn't objected, and you do happen to have all five flower tokens, even if you only obtained them recently due to Halasik's last success, I'm going to rule that you distributed the tokens among the team and as a result, by lucky coincidence, the necessary flower tokens are with Verik. That way I can have them be at the greenhouse without problem.

I'm giving everybody ten or so hours to raise objections to the idea if you disagree with me running things this way. I feel like it's the best way to push things forward.

I'm ok with it.

That said, I think I'm also just about done with my current situation, so I could finish up talking with the aeon and then go join Verik and Banner?

That works perfectly fine with me. Banner, Verik, any objections to being joined by Halasik in checking over the greenhouse?

Also, just FYI, my family and I are going on vacation this week. Shouldn't significantly alter my posting rate, but might be a tad on the less frequent side.

In reply to Supervisor of reality (msg # 41):

Fine by me!

In reply to Halasik (msg # 36):

Updated all of this into the list in post 4.  What's this about Banner earning tokens, though?

In reply to September (msg # 44):

In msg #59, the Azata provide a consulation prize of iris and magnolia tokens

Ah, thanks.  I'm so used to seeing the tokens described in OOC color that I missed that.

In reply to September (msg # 46):

That's my fault - I normally do it that way for clarity, but in Banner's post, I forgot. I apologize for that, I've had a few very intense weeks recently. :P

In reply to Supervisor of reality (msg # 47):

Oh, that was not a criticism-- I'm the last person to have standing about real life becoming busy/stressful, and you do much more!

In reply to September (msg # 48):

Maybe in game, but I suspect my real-life stress is at much lower levels than most people here. And so you have my thanks for being understanding. :)

Also, since you were editing the list of tokens, I suspect the new information you got is probably worth adding in, since it means you now know what nearly every combination is supposed to be.

And, in a meager effort to present myself as cleverer than I am, I'll ask everybody what they think the combinations were inspired by, now that the names are known, and why I picked the symbols I did; it'll be amusing to read everybody's takes on my silliness! ^_^

Going to leave some for the others, but the Hero combination is from the Avengers :P

suits are obviously the suits of a standard deck of cards
Elements from the asian five elements (wood, water, fire, earth, metal)
Tarot I'm pretty sure are the major arcana from a tarot deck
Horoscope and Zodiac confuse me. The standard modern zodiac constellations don't perfectly line up with either one. Aries could be either Ram/Hoof, Taurus makes more sense for Horn than Hammer, Gemini doesn't seem to be leaf or tail, Cancer is a crab, Leo doesn't work for either beehive or web, etc. Even if they aren't in order, I'm still not seeing a perfect alignment for either grouping.
Ability combination, based on the name, I'm guessing means the six stats. Boot would be dex, Eye wis, Helmet Int, Spear str (maybe?), but not sure which of lemon and vortex are Cha and Con.
Again given the name, I'm guessing the sin combination could be the seven deadly sins.
Blanket is Sloth, Fist is Wrath, Mirror is Pride, not sure of the rest.

Hero combination I concede Iona's brilliant deduction, not sure I would have come up with it on my own, but yeah, definitely right.

Virtue I got nothing.

Equipment is misc. adventuring gear? No ten foot pole though.

Rolling tokens and I'm confused - the token list above only has 54 entries but we're rolling a d100 (less the rerolls)?

I'll give you the full list, Verik; there's indeed 100 tokens in total.

In reply to Verik (msg # 52):

The best place to look is message 4 of this thread; there's a full list that I try to update when anyone finds tokens or token information.

In reply to September (msg # 54):

Speaking of which, Verik just won the poison-tasting competition and earned two hundred tokens from it, so you'll have a lot of stuff to add to the list soon enough, September.

Is there even any token left for you to earn, outside the heart, club, clover and scarab?

Banana, Bridle, Helmet, Glasses, and Vest, though I was going to have September pick those up from the gambling.

Oh!  Related note-- we have the full set of card game hall tokens now, but does September need to track down everyone else before playing to get the tokens from them?  I haven't been tracking who's carrying what.
