Intranet Calendar

[verdeleonessa]

I guess this is as good as time as any to announce a project I'm working on Intranet.

I'm putting together a calendar. An accurate calendar of what date it is in Liminal Space - or well, as accurate as it can be through created spaces. I know you might think this is impossible, but it's not, if you follow certain readings and edit some coding to match them and make sure your ticks are counted correctly... Currently, it's March 2nd.

That being said, I can insert everyone's birthdays onto the calendar so we can celebrate you accordingly. Of course, this is no way mandatory if you'd rather keep your birthdays a secret. And you don't need to tell us your age either.

It's not completely ready yet, but I can start putting up the birthdays while I make final adjustments.

Though one day I will find a way to count time in Liminal Space proper, just you wait.

[A few days into liminal space] Judged Conversations

[professorwolf]

Pardon, everyone, it's Lyall again. But I thought people might like to hear about my conversation with Judgment, our current Jaunt winner. They were kind enough to bring me into their conversation space for a little while, though I am not sure they will do it again. They weren't particularly pleased with me, by the end.

I asked about the conditions for winning, first, and about why Fool considered her dangerous to leave intruding Travelers with. The first answer was fairly straight-forward: there weren't enough "new beginnings", and everyone moved on with what they learned rather than change things up, I suppose. Their exact words were that the various crises "were resolved within the bounds available, rather than forged into new beginnings."

They were less forthcoming about the dangerous part. I believe they did not consider themselves dangerous, they said they would merely "dismiss" Thorne and Matthew, but they... hesitated in a rather human sort of way before answering. I'm fairly sure that didn't mean they were lying... but they could have been reluctant to reply, or uncertain of a proper response, or else dancing about the truth a bit. Said they would just "dismiss" Thorne and Matthew, but not the method they would have used. They are apparently concerned with us staying in our roles, because "taking action" beyond our roles and "exploiting" our roles, is what killed Fortuna and Hoshiko-- Fortune and Star, I believe, yes?

I know there have been discussions about their deaths, but I had been under the impression that it had been less an issue of anything we did and more an issue of their particular idioms waning too much to sustain them. Am I remembering it wrong, was there some sort of action on our part that was taken to bring about their deaths?

I'm willing to share the memory of the conversation, if anyone wants it. It was a bit frustrating. Like they wanted me to understand them without them ever actually explaining themselves.
