This woman also has curves in all of the right places. :P Undoubtedly. Yes I have seen this in so many descriptions it makes me sick.

Well now I kind of want to make a very hairy, muscular woman who scratches herself and spits and smells like onions and has curves in all the wrong places just to counteract all these troubling stereotypes.

She will of course still flutter her eyelashes and coo and giggle and flirt with every man she comes in contact with.

There was a woman like that! I loved having a char near her. Can't remember her name and I've no idea if she's even alive still. Last encountered in Olip West sooo long ago. She had a picture of herself: hairy legs, sexy pose, maybe a rose in her mouth? and something written on the picture that was like "eat your heart out, boys". I know I'm probably off with half that description but it was fun and I loved the char/player for doing something different.

I've met a very Plain Jane character once, even the description said there was nothing interesting or appealing about her, something like that. Cudo's to you gurl. And one day a guy showed up and said she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. And she didn't just leap into his arms after that either. Brilliant stuff. :)

So, I've got two characters that have had serious attention from multiple parties at once.

And yes, one's attractive, but I haven't dedicated a single word to her curves. No mention of being perky or hourglass. Called her slender, assigned a height, and said she had decent posture.

The second one-
I described being plain except for having bright eyes. Called her scrawny, a waif, timid and jumpy. Also, she was dirty, mostly her hands. Her hair was matted and knotted. There was more, but that was the gist of it.

Edit.
Can't complain about the quality of suitors on either. The first one gets more attention now, but that hasn't always been the case- and is likely partially because the second one's happily settled.

Annoyance: Pointing, knocking, entering building and vehicles I'm not suppose to because I hit the wrong buttons on my phone while trying to scroll, then have to figure a way to RP it.
You can only trip and fall into vehicles so many times before you look like a thief checking to see if they were unlocked. :)

Forgetting to get in your vehicle before you leave a town, then having to turn around and come back for it.

I do this too much for it to be funny anymore. :roll:

I haven't done that in forever. Knock on wood.

I do however tend to go on resource trips, or try and trade, and drop nearly all resources I'm holding to facilitate this only to realize later I'm still holding eight to eleven kilos of tools, shields and weapons... Always fun after you spend a year walking somewhere to gather something.

What! I can't believe some would do such a thing. I'm sure glad I don't ever do that *fingers crossed* (it's not a lie when you cross your fingers, right?)

Tandem bikes are just so dang goofy looking but still travel faster and somehow carry more than the much more dignified rickshaw most of my younger characters would prefer to use.

That's weird, wonder what the reasoning was on that.

A cask needs to stay in a controlled environment (temperature, humidity) over a long time. Only stone buildings can provide this.
I guess that is the reasoning behind it.
I think ...

Regarding casks: Why can't we build them in alcoves? (Both marble and stone ones, and too bad there isn't a brick alcove, while we're at it) Are the alcoves supposedly too small for them?

Oh no, let's not start going down this realism route. Not in a game where you can build a smelting furnace in a grass hut. (and then use it with your bare hands...) :P
