Yay!

It's not a long weekend for me, not really, but it still feels like one. I'll be off work this coming Tuesday, so it will split the week up very oddly.

Yesterday - I had a couple of very interesting conversations with friends. You know, those friends who are far away in a different country who you wish you got to talk to more? Yeah, those conversations. It was nice. Very nice.

In RP - Elyse talked to Eufimia, and go figure - Elyse is now more determined about the arches and such. Oceana had a nice little scene with Sorcha, Connor and Evangeline. Now of course, Cea wants to know how exactly Sorcha ended up being Nathael's daughter. Cause well, he's with Elyse, right? Oh, and Jen had an interesting conversation with Khyran, in which Khyran ended up heading to medlab. At the end of the scene, anyway. Good thing Cat started to convince her earlier. ;) Summer on the other hand got an invitation to go out to Signy and Sallir's farm and see the ponies, chickens, kitties and puppies. And she was there when Signy told Sallir she was pregnant. Whee! Gotta love being 5. Oh, yeah, I named Summer's babysitter Lobelia - and she was good enough to tell Summer that no she can't keep a pony in the back garden or in Daddy's forge. Momma should be pleased.

As for Harry Potter - still no comments from me - folks are reading. :)

It is supposed to be nice tomorrow, so I do think I'll make my way to War Practice. I want to enjoy some outside time, but then I'll come home for dinner, and relax on Sunday home alone. Yeah, that sounds like fun.

In other news, I volunteered to watch Mom's cat Merlin for her and Dad when they go on vacation the end of July. This could be quite entertaining, so long as none of the monster cats kill each other. It's Taliesin and Merlin I'm worried about mostly. Chey, Pach and Merlin all know each other.

Oh, and the severe weather for last night wasn't. All it did was change the pressure system so my head hurt, and it didn't even have the grace to rain. Darn it all - I'll have to water the plants tonight. Hrmph.

Some of them could probably become the common info for both Tower and Malkier. Some would no doubt be Malkier or Tower specific.

As for bonding... I think we can assume that the Aes Sedai know how to do it. Although putting it on the restricted list would certainly nudge people to RP at least one scene with someone other than their prospective bond that they're set to take right out of chargen.

Or it could be added to the list of Accepted lessons in +ap? That way I could make the code actually check for it and enforce it. :)

Re: Blood weaving

Mm - but if it's in the list of Accepted lessons, then we'd be teaching it to Accepted students. The idea is that it should not be taught to Accepted or Novices, only to Aes Sedai. and folks don't have to play that - they can assume they are taught it during the first month or so after they pass their Accepted test.

Well, that's how it works currently. I just want to be clear on the fact that teaching bonding to anyone not an Aes Sedai is a punishable offense if you get caught. ;)

Re: Blood weaving

[insaint.livejournal.com]

I just had a thought... shocking as that fact may be.

What if we had lesson sheets for Aes Sedai akin to those of Novices and Accepted? Nobody says we can't. :)

On a completely random note, wolfcat got me addicted to limonade. Bah. Although the kind I got (President's Choice) isn't as sweet as the one she brought on the weekend. Works for me. :)

Re: Blood weaving

[damara.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

Okay then. Limonade works.

And that's true, we could do that - it would make it easy to tell if folks actually know those weaves. Though, I think we don't want to put blood weaving on it. I'd put ... scrying, skimming, travelling, Reshna's healing weave (which needs a better name, really), inversion, bonding weave ... what else? Only the weaves that are permissable to teach/do. Though that does lead me to wonder - would we then have to do a tally to figure out who knows how to do these things? *grins*

Lots of work, but it might keep things straight. At least folks wouldn't be able to say they didn't know!

And it doesn't address the balefire/bloodweaving/anti-healing types of weaves. (If we put them on the lesson sheet, folks will decide they need to learn them, and they really don't.

An excellent point. Hrm. We need a tally of those who already know the restricted weaves. We could have folks @mail the wizards and have us set /something/ on them that marks them as knowing the weave?

It's definitely something to think about. But in the meantime, let's see about creating a lesson sheet for the allowed weaves. And yes, we'd need a tally of those who already know them, too. I'll add that to my todo list.

Re: Blood weaving

*grins*

Or we can just trust them. I'll leave that up to you, frankly.

For me, I'm just going to keep on working on the file that explains what the weaves do, what flows they use, and whether you're allowed to use them, or they're stillable offensees, etc. ;)

Re: Blood weaving

[insaint.livejournal.com]

You know how trusting I am... ;)

To be honest, I don't particularly care either way. It's just that if we're going to create a list of "restricted" weaves, then we should have some means of enforcing/tracking. Otherwise, what's the point of having the list?

Re: Blood weaving

[damara.livejournal.com]

Ah, I can answer that. The point of having the list is so that when someone claims to know such a weave, you can ask who they learned it from OOCly. Course, that won't stop folks from cheating, but it will give them the information that they should learn these icly on camera. So the honest folks will follow it, because now they know.

Re: Blood weaving

[insaint.livejournal.com]

Yes, but if the cheating can be (to an extent) prevented by simply adding a lesson sheet that isn't even mandatory, then why not do it? :)

Honest folks will follow it either way and won't record lessons they didn't actually teach. =)

Re: Blood weaving

*grins*

True. It's definitely a good idea to consider. See what Age and Horizon think, maybe?

Re: Blood weaving

[insaint.livejournal.com]

I will, of course.

Re: Blood weaving

*beams innocently*

See the beauty of not being a wiz? I can just start the ball rolling, and get out of the way. :)

Thank you, Alery!

Re: Blood weaving

Hey, don't tempt me/us, lest you find yourself with a bit one day. :P

Re: Blood weaving

[damara.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

Uhm, no. I have not the time to put towards that task. ;)

Re: Blood weaving

[insaint.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. That's what everyone says. ;)

Re: Blood weaving

[damara.livejournal.com]

*smirks*

But it is true!

Re: Blood weaving

[insaint.livejournal.com]

Everyone says that too. :P *ducks*

Re: wizbits

[damara.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make it a lie, you know!

Besides, remember how little I was able to do while working full time and taking 2 masters' level courses? That is coming up again, starting in September. I still have more Accounting to do besides.

Re: wizbits

[insaint.livejournal.com]

I never said it was a lie. :)

And really... I'm not seriously saying we'd try roping you into wizardhood. You don't need to go all defensive. :)

(And if you now turn around and get offended that I'm not seriously consider you for a wizbit, I'll have to come over tonight and smack you or something. So, don't. :P)

Re: wizbits

[damara.livejournal.com]

*rolls*

The thought never even speculated about crossing my mind. Though now that you mention it ...

*grins*

Don't panic. I don't think I'll take offense. This time.

So, you decided yet on War Practice?

Re: wizbits

[insaint.livejournal.com]

Nope, I haven't. I likely won't decide until tomorrow morning or so.

I might go up there for a bit just to get out of the house and for the sake of keeping up the "tradition" of me going to EWP, but that really isn't a big issue for me right now.

You?

Re: wizbits

[damara.livejournal.com]

*grins*

I'd like to go for a while. I won't be in any rush on Saturday morning, but I'm thinking it would be nice to spend the afternoon there. Maybe come home just before dark or some such. I could practice juggling or embroidery for a change.

Re: wizbits

[insaint.livejournal.com]

Chainmail juggling balls? :)

Yeah, juggling would be nice.

Re: Blood weaving

[eustacio.livejournal.com]

Geesh, I peel off LJ for a little while and you two go nuts posting.

Yeah, it needs a better name. And that reminds me to go put that shadowlore file together. Time to go dig around in the garage for my boxes of books.

Go us!
