@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees Sunken ships are pretty clearly lost or abandoned, but I'm surprised that the Forest King would argue in favour of the Queen of Glass. Maybe it's just a matter of principle. Happy to see it if that's what he's doing, either way! Though maybe he just thinks that wrecks are wild.

@ForestOfWhales I still like Elegy/Graffiti. If only their respective monarchs got along!

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees On the one hand, leaving Nerii to her map gives her some much-needed rest and comfort. On the other, involving her shows we trust her as a member of the team. I went with asking her.

@TheDoubleclicks Meeee! We high-fived in Munich! (gender changed since then though)

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@ForestOfWhales I'm surprised that really liking her is so low. I know these reasons aren't mutually exclusive, but if I'm the only one (as of the time of this reply) who chose that one as the most significant for the decision, it makes me wonder if I missed something.

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees I'm sure that it's so clear that there's no need because Nerii is so good at her job, but I still want her to explain in detail because she is an utter delight.

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees I'm not really sure what's going on, but my first interpretation is that this world's Forest Queen just came out as trans. Admittedly, it's not the likeliest scenario.

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@QuietPineTrees @manhole_s has been working on modelling how that would turn out, though with a bit more optimism.

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@ForestOfWhales I wish we would vote differently. Why are we taking sides and making enemies? It made sense against the clockwork whalers, but we don't understand the situation with these monarchs. We're just backing the King because we met him first, I think. Though the dolls warned us of him!

@ForestOfWhales I don't recall the rules saying anything about not being allowed to see, so at least we're safe from our eyes being turned into noble gas plasma.

@Foone There's a mod for Rimworld, Rimatomics, where radiation is blocked by walls, with stronger walls being better at shielding. Although I think it also has hazmat suits that somehow work almost as well as metres-thick walls despite being thin and light enough to wear.

#MinCup2022 is a celebration of light & colour!

This year’s Champion may be soft but it campaigned hard! #Fluorite charmed many with its cubic habit, octahedral cleavage, rainbow of colours, and of course its fluorescent glow.

Condolences, #Zircon, and congratulations Fluorite!

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

Vote #Fluorite! Zircon must be destroyed to avenge Kaolinite! #MinCup2022

[Mineral Cup #MinCup @MineralCup]

#MINCUP2022 FINALS

After a month-long elimination of many fine minerals, it all comes down to two worthy contenders who need no introduction.

#Zircon
#Fluorite

You have just 24 hours to share, teach, recruit, campaign, and most importantly, VOTE.

@ghostbaby__ @ForestOfWhales I did. I see no reason to withhold information from the Queen of Glass. We've already been so negative about her and poor Graffiti. I want to fix things and being forthcoming hopefully helps with that. We're Fireflies. We should work to make friends.

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@ForestOfWhales I like them already. Graffiti too. Personally, I think maybe Elegy's antipathy is just because Graffiti's her ex and they had a nasty breakup caused by pledging their service to different monarchs. I don't think they're actually bad.

[A Random Stranger @normalharpseal]

@Foone I choose to believe it's because radians are the SI unit and whoever wrote that wanted to rebel against the inches imposed on them.
