No Vantha PCs anyway... and Deliath, if you really wanted to, you could always poison their drinks. :P

No worries, Kal! I'm pretty sure nobody wants you to burn out on us, so take all the time you need to make something good. I'm already pretty excited for this season, so I don't mind waiting a little longer.

I've been awful slow recently here! *shakes head at self*

However, I think I have got everyone's PMs answered. If I've missed you, please re-send it and I'll answer as soon as possible.

Also, thank you to Ornea for her recent spate of grading- it's much appreciated!

Hope everyone's well. Happy writing!

~Kal

P.S. If it hadn't already been noticed, there is another quest-open this time- about the poor Vantha cleaner and cook of the Solar Winds. http://www.mizahar.com/forums/topic67656.html This is also where the seasonal clergy are listed.

Thank you for hosting the Lhavit leg of the seasonal plot, Kal! It's so exciting!

That said, how exactly do we participate? Can we simply post IC in the thread you linked? Also, I was wondering where Zintila stands regarding the hunt? As the resident deity, I'm assuming she will have something to say about it.

A note to graders and our ST Kal: I'm pretty sure all valid grade requests posted in the thread have been taken care of. Urkut's thread seems to have been continued despite her grade request (Titus replied to my PM, Urkut herself hasn't yet). Dust still needs to deduct living expenses for Fall, as far as I know, her threads can only be graded after she has done so. (I PMed her as well.)

Here's when grades should and shouldn't be rewarded:
Should
  • If the seasonal expenses are paid in the season the thread was written in,
  • If the PC looks inactive, but is otherwise up to date.
Shouldn't
  • If the seasonal expenses aren't paid in the season the thread was written in,
  • If there are any interventions on the PC's CS,
  • If, during grading, you notice any site rules being broken (such as meta-gamings etc).

I hope that clears things up. Thanks Estrellir and any other graders, as usual, for your work grading in the city. You do an excellent job at keeping the queue small.

Whilst I'm here, I wanted to ask a question or two. What are people's viewpoints on quests and moderated threads currently in Lhavit? Be brutally honest- are they to people's taste, are they too easy, too boring, is there not enough of something or too much of something? What would people like to see in terms of moderated threads?

Hmm, I guess we have a bit of a misunderstanding here, now I'm not sure myself. Here's what the grading guide says:
The second thing to check on the CS is the ledger. If a season-end has passed after they started, make sure their living expenses have been deducted. If it has not, politely PM the PC and ask them to make the change. Do not award any grades until this change has been made.

Before you start to grade, it is vital that you read the CS of the person or persons you are grading for. Make sure the CS is up to date. If it is not, you cannot grade, so send them a polite message that they can't be graded until their CS is corrected.

I always thought the "after they started" part was referring to the PC, not the thread in question. Also, it says the CS should be up to date. Surely that includes their ledger? I know grades were awarded to PCs with outdated CSs before, but those exceptions happened mainly because the list of outstanding grades was just too long (as far as I remember, eg. in Syliras).


As for quests.
Yes please! Haha. I love quests and I love it if they're related to city-wide plots! I'd really enjoy an opportunity to influence Lhavit (politics, but that's just me) as a whole. The Gilded Truths thread is moving slowly, but obviously that's not your fault. Since there aren't many PCs in Lhavit at the moment, I think personalized quests would be a great idea, with just one or two PCs per thread - guess that'd depend on your workload as an ST? If you say that's too much work, I'd totally understand that.

Also, this is OOC and people might disagree, but I think it's a great idea if the ST posts in a quest thread, say, every Saturday or every other Saturday etc. It keeps the thread moving and I know I would be more motivated to post on time. Ideally, threads are finished more quickly and the outcome can be plot fodder for the next season (or maybe more realistically, the one after that).

And I better finish my ramblings here, that's what came to mind. :) In fact I've been meaning to PM you with a thread idea I've been thinking about for a while... some personal character development. I should probably do that.

I personally really like quests and moderated threads, but at the moment my university work is taking priority due to deadlines and exams coming up
I also think Del would avoid anything to do with the Vantha hunts as much as possible

I am hoping to get in and post after my exams though
So sorry to everyone I've left in the lurch
I thought I'd posted but it turns out I hadn't
