  1. "Ah respec'able folk, as always" says Mimosa Applefoot, reflecting upon her experiences with Doder Dengalberry.
  2. Sweat falls off of Mimosa Applefoot-Nimblefoot's brow as she hopes nobody notices that SHE actually owns the Unification Shovel. "Erm, t'is beh SLANDAH agains' t'a Thain! Lileh Peregrin t'is jus' mad tha' Cyris t'is doin' ah be''er job t'an she did back when she was t'a Thain!!" she'd say if pressed on the matter.
  3. "Seems loike everehbodeh's ge''in' married now. Grea' news!" says Mimosa Applefoot-Nimblefoot, Mayor of Bywater.
  4. OOC: Hello there! This is an event designed to simulate a single day of halfling life as best as possible. Everybody starts at the beginning of the hour, having just woken up. Their characters then go about their day as they would IRP, eventually falling back to sleep at the end of the hour, which ends the event. Working, eating, talking, and other things your character typically does in a day can and should be roleplayed. There will be a single roleplay prompt happening during the hour to promote interaction, but attending it isn’t mandatory. Feel free to do as you wish. The intention isn’t to attract a large quantity of halflings into one location at a time, but rather to create as much immersion as possible. SoL Event Checklist (Optional): -Wake up ( ) -Eat something ( ) -Do some task ( ) -Interact with someone ( ) -Eat another thing ( ) -Go to sleep ( ) RP: [!] A notice is pinned to the Honeyhill Noticeboard, flapping in the wind. "Anyone else care to bake some bread? Ain't much work to do this summer besides feeding the animals and weeding the fields, so we ought to have plenty of time! -Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Bywater" ((7 PM EST tomorrow, Wednesday March 15th of 2023, in Bywater, the home of the halflings))
  5. [!] A letter is nailed high upon the Notice Tree of Bywater In Bywater, Halflings go FIRST! In these times of great population increase, we no longer have room to spare for unhelpful big-folks to live in our village while halflings are left without! I hereby announce we shall be following a policy of Halflings First when it comes to land allocation. New halflings shall get first pick on any new areas opened up for development, and big-folks who wish to continue living in Bywater will have to prove their usefulness and good moral character if they are to take up valuable space for their own dwellings! The following shall take effect: 1:All special exemptions from village rules & customs granted to big-folk residents is hereby REVOKED, except by permission of the Thain. 2: The Sheriff of Bywater shall enforce the morality of the village's big-folk residents more than before. We shall NOT have another darkspawn cultist incident! 3: The lands known as the "Biggun Hills", where big-folks have previously been allowed to settle, will be held to a higher standard of scrutiny. The homes there have been ransacked by bandits, seemingly left vacant, and are prime targets for re-allocation into halfling hands if they are not tidied up! 4: Any big-folk who wishes to reside in Bywater may ask for an apartment in the old Bogwartz school. Burrows or other homes in the main village area will not be granted to big-folks except by permission of the Thain. Visitors are still welcome, as always. Especially Adventurers who have registered with the Quest Office. We must first take care of our own people! A shire for halflings, by halflings, and of halflings! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Bywater
  6. Look at the dependencies. Also why is right click harvest in the pack even though it’s a normal LoTC feature, no mods needed?
  7. “Oh dear. Looks loike Phaedra t’is nay more. T’is ah shame sheh nay tried t’ae clear ‘er name ‘n ah fair trial or renounce ‘er darkspawn brainwashin’ t’ae return to ‘er mother. Weh warned ‘er tha’ t’ae others would nae be as merciful, bu’ sheh did nae lis’en.” remarks the Mayor of Bywater, Mimosa Applefoot-Nimblefoot, upon reading this missive. “May Knox ‘elp t’ae other cultis’s overcome their brainwashin’ ahh se’ t’em on t’a path ter TRUE redemp’ion.”

  9. lots of goods are selling at 0.1 minas per. either let us price things in shops at 0.01 minas intervals or purposefully inflate minas more so things can actually be priced better. Iron used to be 1-2 minas per, yet in Almaris iron can be bought for 0.3 or even 0.2 minas a piece!
  10. brave halflings ride forth to defeat EVIL!

  11. [!] A note is pinned to the Bywater Quest Board TO VANQUISH EVIL! ~Brave adventurers gather in the tavern!~ EVIL still lurks in Bywater, hidden from sight, yet still working its ill-doings on the good hard-working halfmen and halfwomen of the village! It is time to put an end to this! We shall strike forth and destroy evil once and for all! This is an A+ rank quest, significant pipeweed rewards will be given out to the surviving adventurers! Leave no stone unturned! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Quest Office Officer, Mayor of Bywater. ((Event at 6 PM EST, Saturday the 11th of March, 2023, located within Bywater, the home of the halflings on Almaris. Directions to Bywater: ))
  12. "Hrm, oi believe tha' frogs are far superior t'ae lizards 'n evereh way" says a far away frog enthusiast and halfling, Mimosa Applefoot. She pets a frog as she says this.
  13. [!] A note is pinned to the Bywater Notice Tree!! Village Schedule: Spring has sprung upon Bywater! Let us enjoy this season to its fullest! Snow's Maiden ~To those who came before us~ On this day, we will plough over the ol' wheat fields to make way for future planting! ((6 PM EST, Wednesday the 8th of March, 2023)) Malin's Welcome After commissioning some crafted goods from the Forest Dwarves of Heffrum many years back, 'tis finally time to head on over and trade for them! These new tools ought to serve us well!

((6 PM EST (sensing a theme yet?), Sunday the 12th of March, 2023)) ~Mimosa Applefoot, lawfully elected Mayor of Bywater, notable halfling.
  14. Yeah bro if some dead nation still has massive fields you can just harvest them all in one sitting with a /edit roleplay hoe. Fair and balanced
  15. food decay wouldn't even help farmers b/c it's very easy to store food as blocks of hay (which obviously won't decay) and only craft the bread when you need it. better idea is to make farming productivity the same as vanilla and not let people farm the fields of nations they don't even live near with infinite durability /edit roleplay hoes b/c that is absolutely broken and has ruined all farm economy.
  16. (insert unpopular opinion that baits you into replying to it)
  17. my biggest concern with the lotc economy atm doesn't have much to do with how you get minas but rather how it is spent. on Almaris minas has mostly been useful for nation/settlement leadership with everyone else having few to no ways to invest their minas that provide long-term yield. Buying tiles? Nation leadership stuff Tile improvements? that was all nation and settlement leadership stuff Pastes? All leadership Warfare costs? That is also all leadership oriented for obvious reasons. Thus we have the strange meta where players give 100% of their minas to their nations treasury in the form of bank tokens because said treasuries are the only place where minas is A: not taxed at 1% a week and B: can actually be used on useful things. The more you think about it, the more stupid it is. It's weird that everyone gives their nations free zero percent interest loans. Ideally your typical player spends their minas on investments and things for themselves, and if they want to maximise their minas earning they spend their minas on things that return them more minas in the future instead of putting it in a nation treasury. in other words I also agree with @Orlanth we need more things your average, casual LOTCer can spend minas on.
  18. [!] All around the lands of the Cloud Temple, you can sense that something greater once existed. The aqueducts by the lake and the ruined gate of the Northern Pass are not creations from this era, as any scholar of modern halfling culture could tell you. These monoliths of stone that now stand rotting in the wind and rain are but a faint memory of what came before, and of what great civilization must have built them. [!] As you come across the gate, you find a message carved onto it. Graffiti, perhaps. It reads: "What -nce w-s shall be a-ain" What a strange message.
  19. “Ah darn… Oi was hopin’ on conver’in’ some o’ t’ose folks tae Knoxism” says Mimosa Applefoot-Nimblefoot, polishing a pumpkin-mask inside of Bywater’s Knoxist church. I’m reality, she doesn’t even know where Barrowtown is.
  20. bird scavenger hunt!

  21. [!] Something peculiar is pinned to the Quest Board Find all the Birds! I will give THREE HUNDRED POTATOES to whomever can find all of these songbirds in our village first! ~Chickadees~ These beautiful birds are plentiful and their iconic "fee-bee" call is a treat for every ear! ~Black Crows~ These nasty little things LOVE to steal crops. Maybe you should go and shoo them away from the fields, or else they'll keep on eating all of the harvest! ~White-Throated Sparrows~ Almost as iconic as the chickadees, these birds love the colder, more forested parts of Bywater. ~Mourning Doves~ Although technically called Mourning Doves, they might as well be called Morning Doves, as I hear their calls every morning when I step outside of my burrow. Far more pleasant of an alarm than a rooster! ~Seagulls~ Annoying! I despise these "birds" that act more like demons with wings! Be careful of them when you are near the docks! ~Pigeons~ You can find these birds hanging out on the paths. They are used to being around halflings and big folks and thus hard to scare away. Wee-Tech keeps telling me these birds are somehow the same or similar to Doves. I do not believe it for a moment, as doves are far more majestic than these clumsy animals. ~Barn Owls~ They live in the barn. Not much else to be said. Best of luck! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Bywater
  22. I'd be happy with just some custom food recipes added in. Give me my cannolis back...
