Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

"You're certain that this is accurate?" Protector Calderon glanced up from her temporary desk, glasses down on her nose.
"As certain as I can be of anything, ma'am," Commodore Peterson responded, rubbing at the bags...
Just a quick note.
I'd like to remind everyone that Celestia is, as of the START of Turn 22, at Lantern 2.
I heard talk of her being Lantern 1, and I want to make sure everyone knows that is (unfortunately) not the case.
Selene will keep tabs on her for you, if you give her the time for that...
Blake: *mumbling* "I'm a manipulative gaslighter?"
Yang: *mumbling* "I'm a toxic enabler?"
Sun: *cheerfully* "And you took Ruby to a tea shop after she committed suicide with tea!"
Yang: *sniffle*
Weiss: "Wow, I held my younger brother at swordpoint and I'm still the most normal member of this...
There has never been a classical society in history that didn't emphasize physicality and learnedness as an ideal to strive towards. From Aztecs to Assyrians and Egyptians to Norse it's either the arts and philosophy or maybe astronomy and lore, but always some kind of intellectual pursit...
"Warriors and scholars" would likely be a historical equivalent. Probably because in most historical societies sports wasn't big enough of a deal to have a noticeable amount of "jocks" in the first place.
Yes, but my view is that this is already all bad shit, and that’s not going to change.
Softy is a Wolf Apostle and we’ve got a Wolf Cult in Ponyville! If this was turn 2 it would be something to focus on, if it was turn 12 it would be a ball in the air, but it’s turn 22.
Even if we start to...
I'm pretty sure personal Forge Sacrament is cheaper in bits and given how the thread has been insisting on keeping us as poor as possible we'll probably be going for our personal Forge Sacrament.
Our lantern Sacrament could go either way, Baldomare AP are very valuable so going for our personal...
I don't think there was a consensus in which Forge Sacrament we wanted to take, but this is otherwise what I remember the lineup being, yeah.
Technically, we're not locked in to doing it next turn specifically. However, if we don't, then we'll have to pay the binding cost, which will suck if...
You do have to remember though that our daughter and her little friends are on our side.
They're not going to go out of their way to sabotage us or cause us problems which given our job takes away of lot of people concerns.
If anything they're probably going to be able to help with things when...
This, and also this is a period where especially during war time where particularly as we saw during ww1 the cost of ammunition is measured in what rounds are duds in a batch. The shell crisis in England that eventually brought lloyd george to power was not unique to England and WW2 taught...
comments on the "likely to become canon" extra threadmark, for now.
Truly, perspective is everything. And being aware of the lores, or touched by the Hours, can certainly change your perspective
ok, that's actually VERY unsettling. Congrats 😆
I'd be even more impressed if we didn't get her...
All of the other choices sound ripe for 'Oops! All Bad Shit' though, is the thing. Like, do you really want to trust the Wolf Cult, who are already culling their own if they get too obsessed with Soft Sweeps, the ability to summon Ash-Ghouls? Or get up to whatever inevitably awful thing(s)...
I suppose her followers and Names aren’t technically a Cult considering they lack the size for a lot of the mechanics, but it’s essentially acted as one through most of the quest.
We have another cult? We got our first one last turn! :V
But there is an opportunity in taking over another cult.
And it also helps Softy! Sounds like a win to me.
"Let Them See Me As A Demon While I Dream Of Freedom.
Let No One Doubt A Mother's Love."
And all of that.
Come on, you don’t want to try and run three separate cults with everything else going on. We could really embrace that Moth mentality. Think of the shenanigans we could get up to. :V
