I'm with Q.  I use that to update my prompt a lot... or just to make sure that the game or me isn't lagged.

You plummet to the ground below.

Way to make me seriously miss one of my favorite characters.

Asshole.

I always read this as Random Tiny Warts.

Lag removed for skills attempted in impossible situations.  The echos usually say you can't even make the attempt, so why are we lagged? i.e. trying bash while mounted

1. Kill a crow (or find a dead one).
2. Set said crow atop an anthill. (may be necessary to cover the carcass and hill with some sort of box and a heavy stone on top to help keep away larger scavengers)
3. Return 24 hour later to claim your prize.

Boiling them works just as efficiently but your way is more pro-nature.

I would think that would make the bone brittle, but I don't know.

I would think that would make the bone brittle, but I don't know.

I found a bone, how do I clean it?

First of all, don't boil or bleach bone! Boiling causes fat to soak into the bone, resulting in a greasy, yellowish specimen. Superficial grease can be removed with ammonia and certain industrial solvents, but this is an unpleasant process and cannot remove deep grease which will eventually migrate to the bone surface. Chlorine based bleach irreparably damages the bone itself, resulting in chalky, weak, extremely porous specimens that will turn to bone meal with age.

So, how do you really clean bone?

Maceration - Using bacterial action to clean bone
This is the simplest method of cleaning bone.

   1. Remove any remaining tissue or hide from the bone
   2. Immerse the bone in a container of water.
   3. Leave the container in a warm location where you won't mind the smell.
   4. Periodically pour the greasy, smelly water out (gardens love it!) and replace with fresh water.
   5. When the water runs clear, the bacteria have run their course.
   6. Soak the bone in regular drugstore strength hydrogen peroxide until it reaches the whiteness you prefer. This also sterilizes the bone.
   7. You're done!

Dermestids - our favorite beetle.
If you're going to continue cleaning bones, or are working with very delicate specimens, you may want to start a dermestid colony. Dermestids or museum beetles are a group of small meat-eating beetles whose larvae do a marvelous job of stripping tissue from even the most delicate of bones. This is the method used by professional preparators. Dermestid beetles can be obtained from biological supply houses, local natural history museums or university zoology departments. Once a colony is set up in a warm place, they require minimal maintenance and are capable of stripping entire skulls in a day or two.

I suspect that the second method would be more commonplace on Zalanthas due to the limited supply of water.

A code designed where finally, after a 14 hour RL hour stint, your character at last decides that it's time to snooze a bit.

Or is that called player logging off >.>?

Yeah.

However, as said frequently in the past, optional tavern bedroom rentals would be amazing, for those who do want to sleep briefly, but not pay vast amounts of coins to rent an apartment for a week or so.

I'd even design 4-5 bedrooms for Allanak + Tuluk if staff gave the good ole thumbs up.

On pain of losing stuff, why not sleep in the commons xD?

I've had a few characters sleep in the commons.
