Where does one purchase equine companions of such heights?

It took me 2 days to figure out what this meant.

Would you explain it to my friend?

Ohhh. Thanks.

I shall contribute.

Rangor prowls out to the out, moving like a jaguar.

You pick up a tall bone throne.

(): You say, "Uh."

(): You say, "Well I just stole Rangor's throne."

(): Rangor says, "Omg kez."

(): Rangor says, "Hanging offence."

(): You say, "Oh god i can't drop it."

(): Sarathai says, "THRONE THIEF."

(): Sarathai says, "Rangor, Kez stole a throne."

(): Rangor says, "Oh wow."

(): Sarathai says, "I'm so tempted to enemy for theft right now..."

Prowling like a jaguar, Rangor enters from the out.

Opening his mouth wide, Rangor gapes in wonder.

You give a tall bone throne to Rangor.

Rangor says in a deep, rumbling voice, "Where's.."

Rangor gives you the once-over, eyeing you suspiciously.

Rangor attaches a flame-shaped sigil to a tall bone throne.

Does that make me Speaker of Eleusis?

Datrius

@Rangor, stealing my idea. I said I wanted a bone throne the moment they announced Furniture *shakefist*

Aerek

Is that a euphemism? I feel like that should be a euphemism.

"Good evening, ladies. Would any of you like to come sit one my bone throne?"

The term Bone Throne/Bone Zone got coined on Twitch after Until Dawn came out when people started joking about two of the character who were sleeping together "Going to the Bone Zone" or her "Sitting on his Bone Throne"

Ahmet

"Bone zone" was a thing long before Until Dawn

ETA: Long before twitch, even.

Well that's where I saw it start popping up. Maybe I'm just not old enough to remember other places, lol.

Jinsun

Akrile, War Priest of Aegis tells you, "A job well done upon the seas, Ashtani 

Jinsun. I expect the same dogged persistence within a ship race also claims you 

victory in naval combat."

placed second for the first time in a shiprace today. I know I sail a lot, but I've only raced in one before and forgot how hard it was!

Laniara arrives from the north.
Laniara gives a cup of indigo tea to you.

p tea
Warm sun brewed indigo tea is inside a white ceramic cup. Small indigo flowers decorate the top while a stick of cinnamon inside the cup adds a slight contrast.
It has 6 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 6 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Laniara.

You blink confoundedly before quietly uttering, "What."

You cannot drink from a cup of indigo tea.
You angrily tell Laniara, "Where did this tea come from?"

Laniara tells you in Targossian, "My first recipe approved by the Crafting Council. You eat the cup, but it is tea."

eat cup
Taking a sip of the tea, you notice the subtle floral flavour of it. As you keep sipping, the tea warms you up until you take the last sip and set the cup aside.

You blink confoundedly before quietly uttering, "What."

what

That is madness  

Shayde

I was expecting this. Very disappointed >:(

A male voice resonates with the clarity of Severian himself, "In the name of Lord Aegis, The Commander. I've rejoined the Dauntless whether I am ready or not... Have at me, for the entire Hunt and beyond. Let there be blood."

When did Aegis become Khorne? Oh right Chaos war god.

Kez

Drinks are allowed?
DRINKS ARE ALLOWED?!
When did this happen?

Melodie

What the bloody hell is this madness and how does this happen when you can't even draw words on cakes.

I'm so confused, help.

Greys

You are just jealous that @Laniara figured out how first.

Melodie

No I'm actually pretty annoyed because it flies in the face of a lot of things. Not annoyed at Laniara, mind, she's just doing her thing and that's fine.

Sometimes, even Amarisse can make a mistake. It was not meant to be approved at any time and the offending item has been removed. You can put away the pitchforks, go back to what you were doing before, and give the crafting guild a break - they work really hard to turn around stuff to the crafters in a timely fashion. 

Xaden

The King o' Bling has spoken.

But also, can someone explain to me why people got their panties in a bunch?

I'm not a designer and it confuses me.

It's complicated, but basically when the crafting union shifts whoever is in charge of it from admin to admin, the rules tend to shift with it - which is understandable, this is a different person with different standards and ideas. But depending how the system shifts, it can become fairly frustrating for crafters who feel (whether rightfully or not) their creative vision is being limited by the rules. In some cases those "visions" are outrageous and don't really have a place in Achaea, but many many more are in a grey area of "whatever the admin opinion of the time is". It's not a single incident, but rather a large collection of smaller ones that tend to frustrate designers.

That said, Prospero, there was no pitchforks, just genuine confusion and a mild annoyance. I don't think anyone was insulting the (very thankless) job of the particular admin behind the curtain. It was meant only as an opinion of some frustration.

@Prospero Sorry. I didn't mean to forum yell. I was attempting to express shock, not rage.

@Xaden Drinks have never been allowed in cooking so seeing one is a bit stunning.

Ok... Total n00b question then... Where do all the existing drinks come from? The admin/garden/game itself?

Kez

Drinks are purchased from denizens.

A drink comes in a container and has a number of sips (sometimes 1, but still) and leaves the container when emptied. Drinks do not provide nourishment, but can provide alcoholic content. You use them with drink, sip, or quaff.

Food can be cooked through crafting. It does not leave a dish when eaten. It can provide nourishment but not alcoholic content. You use it with eat.

Yes, as far as I know. Garden (Gods, Celani, maybe mortal builders as well?) designs them or works with requests for them (for example, you can do a House item request to the patron with a drink design).

Xaden

Thanks! Everything is clear now. Y'all are very helpful and shit.

Another explanation would be that whatever you craft has to make sense with the appropriate command. Because cooking only allows food, you can only make things that can be consumed with the 'eat' command, not the 'drink' command. You could make an iced tea sure, but you'd have to turn it into a granita or sorbet to be consumed with a spoon.

Having said that I am slightly disappointed the item was removed, if only because then I could finally finally open an Achaean Starbucks. Frappucinos for everyone!
