Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
This isn't really a pet peeve and I'm not sure if anybody is even necessarily doing anything wrong, but it gets frustrating feeling like the only way to ever get RP is to be the one initiating. I feel like probably 9/10 scenes I've done with people in the past year were ones where I had to more or less barrel into a room and shake them for attention. I don't mind being extroverted, but idk. Feels like nobody wants to bother even if you go out of your way to give them reasons to interact with you. Again, nobody's doing anything wrong and noone's obligated to do anything they don't want; just gets me bummed out sometimes.

I am in a D&D 5e campaign and I based my satyr bard off of Makiah in the Ivory Bough. Behold, my interpretation:

Out-of-place furniture just being dropped in random spots in cities, like the unicorns gates or pylon room.

Re: Make Syssin RP more robust
Counterpoint: some of you may know me pretty well RL, but you may not be aware of the state I live in, and there's an even better chance you don't know what city I live in. IC, Iazamat's been mistaken for Spirean, despite being a prominent Bloodlochian for roughly 3 years. It's one thing if a clan or something else in honours gives it away (or if they offer the information voluntarily), but there's still no need to have it in the API. Do that work IC.

You can't pour a barrel into a cask. You can pour a barrel into a pot or a vial, but you can't then fill a cask from said pot unless there are at least 50 sips/refills in the pot/cauldron, meaning you have to do some irritating roulette of moving things between barrels, vials, pots, etc if you plan to use barrels and then move to casks, or lose however many refills you have.
This is especially so for venoms.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
This is super petty (a pet peeve if you will) but "tidings" or "[good/dark] tidings" is not a greeting. "Tidings" means "news." One can be the bearer of "dark tidings" or "good tidings" but it's not a greeting. If you say "dark tidings," you're suggesting you're either responding to bad news or have some bad news to impart. If you just say "tidings," it's also a bit nosensical, but you might also be suggesting you have news to share.
I have no idea how this became a thing in the game; nearest as I can guess is that someone used to greet their orgs by saying "What tidings?" or something to that effect, and it's somehow boiled down into some goofy greeting that makes it seem like you're trying really hard to sound archaic within the context of the game's world, but are just sayin' somethin' that's absolutely silly and makes no sense.
