The Lighthouse project in Doryiskom

[mortaine]

Which means, Sociologist, to email Jos about it, since he asked, because I forgot about spectacles.

[The Sociologist]

So are you saying that nobody can make spectacles and suchlike any more?

[...] there's no way to make more of it, so you can't make them from scratch. At least, not until they get switched to something new.

Well, I'm not going to walk around with window-glass spectacles in front of my eyes...

What we need is:

a) change name of the old glass to "antique glass". I presume it has an id-code within the program and that the text name "glass" is just a data field. So at that point it becomes a mere oddity;

b) introduce some kind of grinding/polishing machine that can produce "glass" and change the various jewelry items plus spectacles, monacles, etc to use this new material--ie id-code.

A grinding/polishing machine would be nice because we could also use it for tortoiseshell, currently undervalued in clothing descriptions. Polished tortoiseshell is very beautiful.

Okay, it is now finished.

And it is called "the mystical tower of master heintz". If I'd known is was called that, I wouldn't have built it.

Is there a way that it can be shown on the project list if they have ridiculous names like this? Because this the second time it's happened to me... the other time with a coaster harbour.



Is there a way to get it changed to just "Doryiskom Lighthouse", seeing as that is what it is, and what I that it would be called when I started working on it.

I had the same problem with an old coaster harbour - came up with an unwanted name once completed - from what I gather, more recent projects don't have that problem , their names are listed alongside the project - so just watch out for the old ones I guess...

[SekoETC]

The mystical tower of master heintz?! LOL That sounds great, the only thing I'd change would be the capitalization. Nah, weird names make the world much more interesting. For example we got a harbour in Kiii called Too Bad... And the oldest of my charries is living in a place called MaD mAgEs ToWeR. You get used to them after a while.

[formerly known as hf]

Oh, so you're the mad mage? One of my charries wandered through there some time ago - stayed a bit... Was the only other person there - kept having this old person run in and out of the tower every now and then... not saying a word... made me giggle

[SekoETC]

That must've been someone else, the tower was there when we passed through and on the way back we decided to settle... Always wanted a tower and why bother building one if there is one already? But the history is a mystery, there was some corpses inside but I think we buried them already.

[Solfius]

The tower was built by Gandalf the Grey (it was a Gandalf, not sure if it was the grey though), way back, maybe around the 600 or 700s. He tried to have his own home there, with steel etc being made. Don't know anything else about it, none of the interim uses.

[SekoETC]

Wow, you sure know everything about buildings!

[Solfius]

I knew the player who built it

Back in the day *produces a pipe and begins to puff on it* I got around alright, not like these days, all these young 'uns running around...*trails off*
