Guys, admin coloring here. Please make sure to move past discussing the terminology/etc as Sarosh stated. Much appreciated!
Also, unrelated, can we get the cap on forging things lifted? Or at -least- raised? I have no idea why a normal person would be limited to holding ten skysilver or shieldbark or ogrebone or what have you. The cap makes no sense at all. They're expensive enough that you're not going to have a bunch of people flocking to the merchant to buy them all at once just because they can. Even if they did, isn't that the reason they're so stupidly expensive? To be a goldsink (not that forging needed to be more of one)?
Edit - And let me add to that. Some things spawn, which there are a few items in this category that are cacheable. They work differently, since they don't reset, but we made the ruling to only allow shop-sold items cacheable from here on out to make it less confusing.
Could we get garnet added to the colours we can use dyekit for? Went to use it on an alt, for a tunic and discovered it isn't a listed colour.
Trying to go through all my designs and tag all the things I designed before tags were a thing is super hard. Would be infinitely easier to be able to do newd list tailoring tagless or what have you to pull up the ones without tags.
Meaning you'd see the ascii art if you look at the painting, and then read the description when reading it, perhaps? If Admin needs an example of what it might look like, Chakrasul has one of the calendars!
To clarify--the firework code doesn't really bug me that much. It's everywhere else that it bothers me--in news posts, letters, help files etc. It's extremely immersion-breaking in most cases.
As for the firework code, I've not worked with it, but I get a sense that it's a bit limited in terms of number of lines?
LOOK PAINTING would give the normal descriptive text, like this:
This painting depicts a battle scene, where reds and grays compete for dominance. Shapes of mortals clash against one another in the middle of the scene, featureless yet fierce. A bright white stroke of paint resembles a scythe bearing down on an unfortunate victim already covered in crimson blood. Dark, thin arrows stick out at odd angles from the ground and the people littering it. To the side, a dark tangle of criss-crossing lines brings out the shape of a leaf-less tree, expertly shaded to bring out some nuance in the bark. In the forefront, a black-clad Syssin is crouching, whip secured within easy reach while the bow is aimed straight into the fray. All of it has been framed by simple blackened wood, blending seamlessly with the dark image. Just above the frame, in the right hand corner, the painting has been signed with an elaborate "T".
while VIEW PAINTING would bring out an ascii image if available, like:

or giving a generic line if not, much like taste/smell, like:
You consider the painting thoughtfully.
And no, I didn't want it to show unless one wished to view that option, and not everyone wants to add (or can make) that kind of thing, but it's fun for some of us and I think good ascii art can look really nice.
Tangentially related: Pots in floristry? Shrubs? Trees? Trellis (if not in floristry, then in furniture)? Pretty please? Decoration is an unnecessary ten characters that makes it stupid hard to properly write an sdesc, and I don't want to make 'a flourishing apple tree decoration', it's a tree, not party streamers.
Example: I transferred several designs (templaruni2) tag to the guild's ownership - which means that massproducing that tag only produces the designs I have full ownership of. I'd transfer them all over if I could, "MASSPRODUCE (owner) (tag) IN PACKAGE", IE, "MASSPRODUCE TEMPLAR TEMPLARUNI2 IN PACKAGE". or just ACCESS. I know there's some complication with the accessibility and having to check..something.
Did it get shelved, is it still being worked on, is something else being worked on therein?
Edit: Oooh. I got ninja'd by Areka. That would be spiffy.
Also, unrelated, could we have a config to sets autopay as the default maybe? I know some people don't want them as autopay, but it's a pain in the butt for the rest of us.
Like. If someone's like. HEY KIRA. I WANT A BLUE DRESS. Instead of searching by dress (86 dresses) or blue (currently 106 and I'm not even close to done tagging 'cause it's really hard to tell what's tagged and what's not), I could be like, NEWD LIST BLUE, DRESS and it'll pull up...a much more reasonable number of things that are actually what I'm looking for.
...also maybe the ability to clear all the tags on a design? Sometimes it copying the tags is helpful, if you're working with the same colours/materials, but then sometimes, you shift gears and you need to copy a birdcage and your only birdcage has 900 tags on it that you don't need. Usually not -that- extreme. But still. Would be useful to have a clear all tags function.
If it's a all possible, it would be fairly awesome and clear up/streamline a lot of the issues that make crafting a bitch to deal with.
Unrelated, similarly, not sure on viability, but having it check your cache for stuff before telling you you don't have any would be awesome. It'd probably be most useful for brewing and cooking, but it'd still be shiny for jewelcrafts and furniture and tailoring and all the rest, especially as more and more shinies become cacheable.
Call me silly, but I said it before...you are not the ultimate answer to everything that is crafting, accept gracefully when you are wrong and alot of these issues would cease to be issues. Just my two cents.
I'm not just talking about that one instance in any case. I'm talking about this is a thing being a thing that happens all the time. Person A has an issue, Becue addresses it on a personal level, none of the approvers know what's going on because they didn't look at the queue that day, or maybe it was on a woodcraft design and they don't have it, but it still applies to their own crafts--there's no way to go back and reference these things later. So by the time Person B gets around to having the same issue, some people are convinced it's fine, because they weren't aware of the last ruling saying it wasn't, and some remember the last ruling and are therefore convinced it's not, so Person B goes and asks Becue. Sometimes the answer is the same. Sometimes it's the exact opposite in the exact same scenario. A crafting log of some kind that logs rulings would fix a lot of the headache and confusion as well as a lot of the inconsistency.
Edit: ...and you were agreeing with me when I suggested a changelog-type thing in clan yesterday, so I'm not sure why you're suddenly up in my face about it.
