>!My theory is as follows: Caeror says that you cant wait too long after a persons death to turn them into an Iunctii. I think it's obvious that there is some way to preserve the dead bodies (how else would those 80k dead bodies at the end work logistically?). So I think Vis Father was preserved after his death until the Hierarchy questioned him. then he got put on ice again so to speak. then this world hopping scar face guy brought him back and send him to Luceum. When he gave the Amulet to Vis there, there was no way for his body to be preserved, so finally, after 5+ years, his body started his natural decomposition process. when Vis tries to put his Amulet on, that process is to far along for it to work. But maybe I didnt think of something.​!<

Caeror mentions to Vis that breaking someone's neck is most often (it sounds like there are extremely rare cases where it's not enough) doing enough damage so that the dead cant be turned into Inuctii. We also know the Hierarchy wanted to kill Vis' family so they can question them and get 100% truthful answers.

If I remember correctly, Vis is told they died quickly by hanging. A quick death by hanging means the neck was broken, which would mean the Hierarchy is both extremely lucky that the broken neck wasn't enough damage on all three hanged family members and they are stupid for killing them this way.

The other option is that Vis was lied to and that it was a long death by hanging, meaning the were strangled to death. But strangulation can causes damage to the brain tissue and it seems like the brain and nervous system need to be intact for Iunctii to be function (cause that's what gets damaged by a broken neck). so even if the hierarchy made sure that they died of strangulation, it would still be a dumb option. Why not just stab them in the heart?

Are the dumb?

So I (329 m, half Orc) was invited to a Party last evening. I am normally not the party kinda Orc, but my homunculi needed an other night to ripen (I grow them by using Daisies as a Host) and I had nothing else to do. So I went. The Party was hosted by a good friend of mine I know from wizard college.

At the start the party was really fun and I got along with everyone but then I met Gurmluk (I would guess 120 m. though he is a dwarf, so you I cant really be sure abt neither age nor sex). anyway, there immediately was this tension in the air, but I gave my best to ignore it. after all this wasn't my party.

But then Gurmluk said sth abt how he has switched from granite based rune stones to crystal based ones. I said "that doesnt really matter, rune stones are not really that effective anyway (which is true, look it up. Only 14% of Grandwizards use rune stones.) and that he should maybe switch to Blood magic." He then said that every way to cast has its advantages and disadvantages and that I should not be so judgmental abt other dwarven culture (which doesnt make sense, because my great grandmother was adopted by dwarves. so I know abt dwarves culture). I then said that if he thinks playing with rocks makes him a wizard, then maybe he should consider looking into zodiac tables too. That got the elve beside me really pissed off and suddenly people called me ignorant. I dont really get why, I only stated facts and facts dont care abt your feelings. also, I cant be ignorant, since I have many elven friends and, again, my great grandmother was adopted by dwarves. so aita?

My goal is not an objectively true map, but how the world feels to the character making it. thats why the mountains are so huge. in total there are 8 dukedoms and one area controlled exclusively by the king. the capital is Rotio.

Also, what happens to people that dont have a mate (not me tho)? And do they just fake checking in in their mate (asking for a friend)? and how does the app even know wether i checked in on my mate (who is def real). are they listening like the cia?

Hello guys, I wanted to share my project and how far I have come.
The Game is a mixture between Checkers, Chess and Tak. It is not yet finished, but I thought I would show you the basic placement and movement mechanic that I have finished.

There are two players. During their Turn they can perform three actions:

1. Placing a Stone on an unoccupied Tile. I know in the video Stones are placed on occupied Tiles too. This is only for easier testing and debugging tho. the final program won't allow you to do that.
2. They can perform a Checkers-style capture. this is not yet in the program.
3. They can Collapse a Tower similar to Tak. This is also not yet in the program.
   The goal of the Game is to capture your opponents Kingstone (also not yet in the program). If there is no move available for either Player, the player with the most Stones on the field wins.

So what actually happens in the video? We start with both silver and gold already having placed some stones and its currently golds turn. they place a stone at C5 (since that's the only option that's currently implemented, they can only choose this action and not 2) or 3)). But placing a Stone next to an other Stone of the same color allows waves to happen. It is the players choice to trigger them, but once started, waves cant be stopped. Gold chooses to accept those waves and the golden Tower on C6 jumps over the placed stone at C5 and lands on C4. Now it's Silvers turn.
Silver places a stone at B3. He could trigger Waves, but he refuses.
Gold on his turn places a stone on top of the stone at C5. this will be illegal later on, but I wanted to show the icon change that symbolizes a stone vs a tower.
Silver places a stone at C3. this time he triggers the waves. C2 and B3 jump over C3 and land on B4 and C4. A stone lands always on top, so silver puts its stone on the golden tower. A tower is always treated like a stone of the same color as the towers top stone. But this isnt it. after all it is called waves and not wave. Stones that jumped bring a Wave will trigger Stones next to them to jump also (next to always means orthogonally in this game). Stones that have already jumped or were placed this turn dont get triggered a second time. So the stone landing on C4 triggers the Stone at B2 to jump to D4, and the Stone at D4 to jump to B2, but not the Stone that was placed at C3. The stone landing at D3 will trigger the stone at D2 to jump to D4 and the Stone that is at D4 to jump to D2. You might have noticed that D4 gets triggered twice at the same time. in such a scenario the player may choose with trigger applies to the stone. Silver chooses that D4 should jump to D2. But there is a second problem. Both D2 and B4 land on D4. so wich stone (or tower) should go onto the other? again the player chooses. the player chooses that D2 goes under B4. But we aren't finished. Remember D4? he landed next to a stone at E2. so E2 jumps to C2. Since there are no stones left to trigger, the turn ends and it would be golds turn.

Rn i am working on rewriting the code and then implementing the other rules. after that I want to implement it into Alpha Zero General, so that I can have a competent Ai to play against. Ofc visuals will need to be updated. What do you think? Ans also, do you have ideas for a name?
