We've got flying dreadnaughts. I think the containment of gases would be much more advanced, especially with the trait that allows for more quality ship-works.

Another issue I see is that the only combustible gas thats a base element is hydrogen, and it doesn't have the same power as gunpowder.

The problems is we wanted the grass completely gone. And to be honest I don't really see you apologize that often.

What's more valuable: a compliment from someone who always berates EVERYONE, or a compliment from someone who compliments everyone for everything.

Now just rephrase that and apply it to what I said, and you might grasp what I was meaning.

I was apologizing for trying to make superduperdeadly grass on the non-patrolled areas [besides bandits], and saying that instead of it being deadly, it was actually very extremely healthy unless you make it wilt. And duck has never seen me apologize. I think.

And @Azimuth, not only did I just discuss grass, Duck did right after your post.
My point isn't superdeadly grass. My point is that, hey, I was stupid, I apologized, and then I said that, in fact, it was uncommon to kill, and instead super healthy for your horse! I practically said "No more grass!" except without those words! But there they are! No grass! I will go so far to say that it's all rock! or dirt! or whatever else you want. Rivers? Landslides? obama?

No grass discussion past page 6. Azimuth's poster is law.

I just wanted to say one thing...

Grass.

Looks like me, Duck, and Asura all spoke of Grass after Azimuth's law-post.

Speaking of which, if someone were to just take a random look at a random post, I would think they would assume we are talking about one of those happy-drugs-that-are-outlawed.

And, grass.

And really, if you want to kick me, go ahead. I'd be kicked at one point or another for some reason. Like grass.

It's not as if I am a moderator or imbued with the powers of an angry god and will strike both you and Duck down for daring to speak of grass, I was simply trying to say that enough is enough. We are seriously having drama over grass of all things, and that is very, very silly. I'm not saying turn your nation into a wasteland sterile of any and all vegetation either. I think you're being a bit ridiculous.

Valm's main export is going to have to be thick, fragrant grass now.

Good for feeding cows and warding off invasions.

I've no use for grass. in general, not the johnson grass. My nation is supposed to be more of a steam wonder, those who burrow into the ground with hydraulic steam doors and stuff. Big steam engine giving power to open and close blast doors, and to lift objects that would not normally be lifted. To pound metal into shapes that previously were unattainable; to flatten and bend steam faster and harder than before.

And you missed Asura. She spoke of grass as well.

I already said I was sorry, and since it was pretty much ignored, why should I stoop lower and ask for forgiveness? I said sorry, and I would've left it at that if people acknowledged it, instead of completely ignoring it and completely focusing on the first thing I said.

And you're not helping. I'm not either, but I'm the source. You're not; you're a third party. Being an ass through sarcasm when people are getting pissed and/or aggravated about something is rarely beneficial. So I am saying, politely, let me and my anti-me gang butt heads. Unless you would also like to contribute to the anti-me committee.

And Johnson grass isn't fragrant. Sticking it in your home will just make a very small amount of cyanide or a small concentration of nitrates. Not exactly healthy, but it'd not be fragrant.

Now, since there hasn't been a post in ten minutes or so, and because I'm tired, I will stop my grasstalk, pardon my grass, provided others stop as well, including sarcastic remarks relating to or mentioning the term 'grass' that may hint or mean the subject of the previous conversation. Good? Good.

And if you wanna complain, note that I'm saying I will shut up and remove the goddamn grass.

Look children, you're making all of yourselves look like a bunch of dinguses. Stop victimizing yourself and seriously stop bitching about FRAKKING GRASS! The conversation ended when the GM said it did, easy as that. All y'all are doing by continuing this is creating a probability curve for this RP that is rapidly approaching zero over an incredibly insignificant topic.

On another, non-plant related note, I'm unsure if I should add more traits to Valm. Seems bare bones atm, but I don't wanna get into double digits with the trait numbers...

Thank you.
Tomorrow, I'll edit out all the reference or mentioning of Johnson grass from my application, and finish my city/culture description, and remove what I put for population.

I stopped and Mantido stopped. Read before you post, please. And Asura stopped. Thank you for that, Asura. I'm an ass.

I'd like Kamalao on the southwest of Edoniras. Quite small, smaller than the last time.

That just means you're average at more things. Instead of being specialized, you've got a bit of everything. You won't be especially good in a single area, but you'll also have more choices, especially if you're in an area that has a variety of resources. I'm reliant on trade, because that gets me food. Others, well, I haven't really seen someone that specializes in just resource collection and trading it off. Haven't seen an economic power, I mean.

I have Strong Industry and Fertile Fields, as well as several truly massive manufacturing centers based on the real-life Tula Arms Plant and Izhmash mixed with the Krupp steelworks. With my vast territory I also have many, many natural resources, there just wasn't a trait to take for that.

Good luck getting to the new world, though. :p

With every advantage must come a disadvantage. The point was that Beleky Kurzan is a significant economic power.

Kamalao is a rather small country relying on trade and less on military, not well versed in the prospect of air travel because of several conservative figures in the country (Cough, Lord Byral Dendorine) but also steadily moving towards progress (Lord Cleuer Peresynnian, Prince Orest, Lady Vilynda Anromytan) and of course, a nice rocky relationship with Valm.
