    Victory, we made someone who was coming to RP with us decide it wasn't worth the effort to even bother.

    I'm never talking shit about Mhaldor again. At least they try.
    Oh, don't be a baby. It was funny and you know it.

    Come talk to me! I generally don't mind talking if I'm not busy doing whatever.

    Of course, usually nobody's around when I am, either (clearly timezone abuse). A couple of weeks back, I'm pretty sure I was the only Eleusian online at all, unless there were a couple offplane for over an hour.

    Do we actually have rubber in Achaea? D:


  • RangorRangor

    The more relevant question might be, not "Does rubber per se exist or fit in in Achaea?", but "Does the familiar rubber duckie, as anyone seeing the title will envision it, whatever the intent, fit in in Achaea?". I would say no, but it's no worse than most of Pranks, so meh.

    I always thought of rubber in Achaea as some vaguely Erisian material bestowed upon jesters from farflung realms. Eg a mythical material, not made by mortal hands, but used by jesters all the same.

    @Aktillum bring back the Cookpot of Doom too, if you're bringing back rubber duckies
    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

    Bring back obliterate, too.

    Ok, but should require at least 2 lit firecrackers.

    Only two? Too OP, anyone can light two firecrackers. Make it at least 3.

    There is rubber in Manara's room descriptions, and rubber trees in Zanzibaar, and a rubber stopper in the Fontis Wine sold in Hashan. There are also things that are described as rubbery (though that doesn't necessarily mean anything, just like things being described as "herculean" don't mean that Hercules is IC), and Xith's "squeaky rubber shield" customisation got approved.

    Rubber duckies still seem pretty OOC though.

    I'm fine with two.  But they need to add a requirement where you have to grind up a dragon adventurer corpse's bones into a fine powder to make a firecracker.

    This is an OOC clan, in case that wasn't obvious.

    (The Vota Aeterna): @Saeva says, "What a poor fishing venture for the amount of time I was out."

    (The Vota Aeterna): Saeva says, "19 fish."

    (The Vota Aeterna): You say, "Aww."

    (The Vota Aeterna): You say, "Clearly you need me there."

    (The Vota Aeterna): Saeva says, "No joke, my mommy brings all the fish to the ship."

    (The Vota Aeterna): You say, "To steal and entice your fish."

    (The Vota Aeterna): You say, "Hahahaha."

    (The Vota Aeterna): You say, "Oh fuck I spat out my drink hate you."

    (The Vota Aeterna): Saeva laughingly says, "Hahaha."
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking
    Shown in this shaking                                                             Though crazy
    Lately of my wasteland, baby                                                 That's just wasteland, baby

    I did a little research on this (ie. typed 'rubber' into wikipedia) since jesters are fucking stupid, their implementation is as out of place in Achaea as a Gaia Online avatar is in Middle-earth, and I wanted to be more informed to better rebut their existence.

    Natural rubber was apparently used by Mesoamericans since prehistoric times, including some kind of curing process analogous to vulcanisation. Natural latex has been refined from tree and other plant sap on a large scale since the mid-1700s. This fits with the timeline of Achaea's generally pre-industrial-but-still-metropolised fantasy setting.

    Modern vulcanisation was not developed until the 19th century, and the process is important to give rubber a less tacky surface and make it resilient against temperature changes. I don't know how flexible or resilient this type of crudely refined latex would be, without developments driven by industry in the 19th and 20th century, but balloons seem plausible. They become more plausible if you accept magic as an explanation, which is why I like the theory that faerie magic ("I wish") has some unknown involvement in jester props. Balloon giraffes still stupid tho.

    I actually really liked the 'srs jester' titles... I thought it was a good way to take the silliness I could see a lot of jesters being and framing it as something that isn't just... way over the top. Still, Rubber Duckies are cute.

    I don't have a huge problem with rubber as such, with magical explanations replacing some of the technology, nor with a certain amount of mundane anachronism (c.f., bras). I'd probably even go as far as rubber balloons, depending on the context. My bigger problem with Pranks is that so many of the abilities evoke so much specific ooc context (modern clowns, slapstick comedy, etc) that they clash terribly with the setting. One of the Pranks abilities I don't particularly mind is bombs, but it would piss me all the way off to see a Jester fashion a Holy Hand Grenade; it's not so much about anachronistic technology as about glaringly ooc references.
