Something you can drop, place or plant that can hold a lantern at working height. The idea is it would be something portable and would be used temporarily, as opposed to lamps which are generally set up permanently or at least long-term.

It's also a handy way to shortcut long journeys on Indy or even Xan. Say you want to sail from the north of Indy to the South, but both on the east coast. Sail east to any 8x8 then south then west again back to Indy - cut your travel time by close to 50%. For Xan it saves almost 75%.

You can put a whetstone in your backpack so the damage number isn't orange, but otherwise, yes across the board for this. Whetstones, pelts, ceramics - not really improvable but should be repairable. Tents - absolutely should be repairable, AND improvable (and really should be tailoring, not FC, while we are at it).

That.

It isn't about credit it is about coherence. Oh, nevermind... I surrender.

I am really starting to think there is a language issue here.

Anything to get help get rid of the Moment of Disappointment.

My point is I had already suggested "Sheffie's solution" before your first comment. I don't think the intent of the OP was to take over before the Mayor's upkeep had run out, but once the villagers had been paying the upkeep for a period of time. It wasn't explicit in the original, but I took it that way and it has since been clarified as such.

Ah, cool. It's been a while but from memory I think the dialog on creation is for a "permanent democracy". Prob just needs updating. EDIT: 2004? From when "dictatorship" could still be elected out? Actually, that could be just the mechanism you are looking for. Nonetheless, I wonder if that is still accurate, regarding switching. Will see what I can find....

But in-game "deed" is generally used for the settlement, not the paper.

One consideration: normally, as I understand it, switching to democracy is a permanent switch. Should this be reversible in this case?

🤨

Or read the next couple of sentences where I mentioned exactly that. That doesn't protect them, as they are then the ones paying and the mayor is the one who can just come in and clean them out. The rejections are basically saying that even if a mayor leaves for some long period without any communication and without paying any upkeep, others should keep paying upkeep while the mayor is gone specifically to maintain the deed FOR the mayor who gets the benefit of everybody's time and money without having to put their own in. The logic just doesn't hold water:- the mayor is entitled to what they pay for AND what others pay for. Others are entitled to neither what the mayor paid for NOR what they paid for themselves. That just doesn't make sense. So, if I deed a location, that location in Wurm is forever mine? If I walk away from it, I can expect that others have to keep the deed going until I decide to take it up again, at which all of their investment is forfeited to me. Okay, sign me up for that.

So what about after anything the mayor paid has run out and someone else has been paying for it?

I don't fancy the chances of this getting up. If so many players can so completely misunderstand it, then it doesn't bode well for the devs to see it clearly. This is NOT about taking a deed off a mayor. It is about protecting the villagers from deedfall due to a mayor that has gone inactive. Most of the naysayers seem to think that the citizens are some kind of serf class who have no right to keep what they have built unless they keep tipping in upkeep to maintain a deed in such a way that what they have been protecting could be taken away from them, despite their time and silver spent, by a mayor eventually return to take up again a deed to which they may have contributed nothing for a significant period of time.

I have decided to go ahead and nominate Lupev as my mentee. Lupev can object to this at any time, but I figured that as this is someone who is fairly new not only to Stormfall but to Wurm, I might actually have some wisdom to share. 😁 Also, my first day in Wurm - with its five bear-related fatalities - is not so long ago that I have forgotten the sheer frustration of knowing what I want to do but having no real idea how to do it. (Holy suffering dooley: having to mine iron ore so I could make an iron lump to make nails to make a leggat to make thatch so I could plant grass instead of steppe, because in my head I "knew" I needed grass to feed my sheep - and THEN discovering I could have simply planted one of the many bush sprouts I had foraged! Mind-shattering frustration at times.) I have edited my nomination post.

He had come looking for a slice of the Goblin Pizza he had heard about, but when he realized that he had misunderstood and people were gobbling regular pizza, he was mighty unhappy.

The is only one graphic for the quiver, sadly. Full, empty, dyed blue brown or yellow, they all look exactly the same ☹️

Oh, yes, I get so tired of 5 point turns. Can you imagine a Wurm barrel race? 😅

I think that would be the toughest part of solving this.

Oh, yeah, I agree. The thing IRL there isn't a whole lot that can be done to make stump removal less of a chore. In Wurm, it already is easy; but making it rewarding would encourage people to clean up behind themselves.

Yes, that is exactly what this suggestion is addressing, so that when the current mayor's upkeep is gone instead of the deed falling the newly elected mayor takes it over. I would presume that some kind of upkeep escrow would have to be involved.

No, I just want to be able to get my stuff and leave in good order. However, I can certainly see how you would take it the way you did. In my head I wasn't thinking I would be the new mayor, but now that I think on it, the citizens apart from the mayor and me are all alts of the mayor. Maybe instead of full democratic election of a new mayor there is election of a steward - who can keep the deed going but can't cash it out and if/when the original mayor returns, they can take over again (although how you make sure nobody simply profits someone else paying upkeep, I don't know).

I can confirm that. "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." 🙁 Can also confirm that clearing stumps IRL is typically very much unfun - unless you go for burning or blasting.
