People can still vote for them, but they are too involved to do automatically.

If we end up devoting a significant amount of time to managing the city, can we have actual votes on public infrastructure projects or major events we want to organize/sponsor instead of limiting them to write-in options?

Also +1 university, +1 library, +1 olympics

My current plan is to have a "build stuff" option in a separate vote soon on things you might wish to order built, using the resources available. Unless you vote for G however, you won't become heavily involved in building and overseeing whatever is made and will have far less control on the outcome.

You will essentially delegate it to others.

Whether or not G wins you will have a new vote on Building Stuff, the Capybaras needed more time to set the vote up. Voting G or not now decides how much you are personally involved.

P - Let's deal with the refugees. Declare that the children we rescued deserve the same opportunity we got, as we were also rescued from demon enslavement. To that end we should start training them basic survival skills in order to take the manhood trial and become part of Zepath since many of them didn't have the luxury of growing up here before taking the trials. Declare that as we were made to pay a bride price before marrying into the line of Zepa, so must they. Any Gebeban who wishes to marry a Zepathan woman or any Zepathan man who wishes to marry a Gebeban woman must make or perform some great work according to their chosen profession. Declare that by doing so they are part of Zepa's realm and any who would try to hinder their attempts or deny their successes would be considered the as a thief stealing from Zepa's kingdom.

2. Let's take a quick trip to visit Indor and ask for info on amber and any other things we saw that aren't verboten.

Our survival, and the survival of our family and city seem to me to most depend on our ability to master our terrifying potential. (And the blessing of El and the protection of the Melachin, but they are inscrutable and welp Tanaach) So I say let's hunker down and harness our newfound level of ever swelling ??? and the strong foundations of our training and work on becoming a being that can go head to head with greater horrors.

Yeah and Tudiya does have a reason for not letting them marry ur people but we can. They're not of the line of labaras, a bloodline that ACTUALLY has magical powers that protect ur from demons. If they marry into te line they'll dilute it really, really fast and could threaten future generations by making them far weaker. With Ruth we can see that you can't just obtain bloodedness by being awesome.

We on the other hand, are descended from labaras, something Tudiya confirmed with his magic handshake.

Diog Ruth is getting older. Would Tudiyah let her marry once she's past child bearing age? Just curious.
The issue is not her reproducing. Well that was an issue too, he did not want her marrying a Zepathan but had no issue as long as it was some foreigner. Before 180 Gebebans showed up Tudiya did not seem to think the prospect of Ruth having children would doom all of Ur, he just did not want to risk her diluting Zepath's bloodline. With a single woman to keep an eye on that is a manageable problem if she married a foreign merchant or something.

The issue is homosexuality.

You declared her to be a man.

a) Talk with Jobe, Paebel and Ezekiel (I don't remember if that's his name, the other former heretic, the two sworded badass commander) about making things easier with reintegrating the former heretics into the community/church.
b) Maybe see what Ahaz (the 'black sheep' son) thinks about Lefkandi's cool new stuff and if he's got any ideas for our own new discoveries (paper, improved forge etc)
c) Go see the Orm
d) Talk with Zeb (the old man is not having a good time :( )
e) Short camping trip (or other possible activity) with Triple Dad and Danal (some quality time would help I think)
f) Take some time to practice our dancing skills
g) Talk to a local baker and butcher about making some dog treats for Snarls

Hence the bride price demand. If they want to marry they'd better bring something really good to the table.

Would a trip to go stretch our wings count as a big time investment? Would it also defy the no big adventures? It'd be a 4 month round-trip at the minimum, so I assume so, but I don't want to forget it.

As great as the club is, our archery skills carried the fight with the Gebebians. Let's make sure we improve that a bit. Iron will keep our Balls well protected, and ensure the survival of our troops. Studying with the clergy will allow us to try and find out more secrets, while reassuring the temple we aren''t a heretic.

All in on the bow. I want to be the best bow person ever. gently caress the club. But yeah we also need to up our magic game so Ish time is necessary.

As for extras...


-Confer with Chait about the possibility of iron arrows. (I don't remember if we did this or not during the whole iron section, ignore this if we did)
-Try to spend some extra time with Ruth, as it's likely she's not gonna be around much longer in our lives, unlike everyone else.
-Check in on the fruit tree David's got going.
-Play a prank on Ishamal.
-Try to get a moment with our former heretical balls to help reintegrate the former heretics into the orthodoxy. Also make it clear that while we don't support melachim worship, not ALL their ideas were bad.

I really don't think a bride price will change anything, they are still diluting the genuine magic man bloodline. It's not going to matter generations later that a guy manages to do a thing good once. Like it is a fact that the bloodlines are generally getting weaker and that adding people who are 100% unblooded is going to speed that up a lot.

This might fall into too much time/resources, but:
Start keeping records of the "Bloodedness" of Kavodel's population . Nothing particularly formal, along the lines of "this year X men were capable of doing such-and-such". We've got a long life ahead of us and it'd be useful someday to see if the decline of Bloodedness was ever starting to reverse.

Teach Lefkandi about writing on parchment, once we figure it out. And our sons and Gareb.
Make some toys for the little ones in our family.
Buy Chait a beer and thank him again for the bow that saved our rear end a ton of times.
Carve a sweet looking goat for Azazzel and leave it for him at the goat rock.
Check up on how the former heretics are doing.
Check up on how Jobe is handling the former heretics.
Find a way to talk to Indor about the Amber. Use intermediaries if necessary.
Check up on how cultivating Amok's fruit is going.
Change the coins so that they have our face on them.
Start dabbling in astronomy. Make notes about the position of major bodies in the night's sky.

For the pack!
1.
B. My skill with a club is great, though several in the region are superior in such things. I can parry blows with an enormous club one handed, or two handed perform moves which might be described as "pulping" my foes. My strength is only growing and no weapon tales advantage of it like a club. Yet the gap between my skill and Tudiya and the Old Tales is vast. I work to bridge it.

D. If I ever hope to make true high quality Blooded Bronze I will need years, time and practice. I invented coins. I invented the compound pulley, well, reinvented, it existed elsewhere it seems. Me and Adina made a new and superior forge. Smithing is among the most prestigious professions in Ur and even coming to it relatively late in life I have shown tremendous and rapid improvement. I am an obvious prodigy. Almost as if I was not human but some sort of superior, supernatural being. Even the secrets of the Amalakite iron I have discovered though our working with it is still new. What might I discover, tomorrow? Let's find out. I devote myself to my forge.

E. I have long since known Ishamal is not teaching me for war, he is teaching me self control. My trip to Amalek may give strong hints on why, though Ishamal has hardly made it a secret. For much of my life I have spent considerable amounts of time on Ishamal's training, in some periods, most of my time. Progress has ever been slow. Frustratingly, maddeningly slow. Yet as it has progressed I have learned or intuited "secondary" abilities. Some came in rather handy. Ishamal's training is probably why I survived the fall of Tanaach. Even if I have (mostly) obeyed Ishamal's rules about experimenting I am strongly suspecting I could perform certain fantastical feats, even if not allowed. I could very probably throw fireballs, after a crude fashion. [???] has begun increasing more rapidly since my return from the south than I have ever noticed before, an actual noticeable amount some days! Something I once thought impossible! I keep up my training. This has been a major focus on my time in the past.

On a Hagar note, it would seem that the cult of the melachim might be a rogue faction that don't agree with the Ur worship armistice, which could be effecting the worship flowing to El and thus weakening Ur. Might want to start up an inquisition.
