I would say that the math probably hasn’t changed much and if you have already looked into it in detail then I am wasting time. Would be keen to see your original discussion though.

Unless the maths has changed since I discussed this topic online over a decade ago, the amount of energy that a human can generate does not even go close to covering the overhead cost of a gym. I would love to find that this has changed, but I would be surprised.

Exactly like that.

And don’t get me started on the repurcussions of trying to control nature. Flood plains are there for reasons people, don’t build on them unless you are willing to accept the consequences.

like when a nasty wild bushfire tears across the land and burns a suburb. Men go out and risk their lives only to risk being sued because they didn’t stop the fire in time. Natural disasters are natural and people want someone to blame for them. Stoopid hoomans

Well let me see, It only really becomes a problem when man interferes with nature… I mean really live on a flood plain expect to be flooded not suprised when it floods, wake up people, don’t get me started on those people that live near airports then have the ordacity to complain about noise… And the press does nothing but sensationalise it all… MORRONS, my 2c worth of growling…

Comment on Some questions to the Laurels, Pelicans and Chivalry councils. by Syridian

Thanks Portia! That’s great, though I was actually after more specificly answers to the questions I posed. Whilst they can be dirived from that post, it doesn’t actually answer all of them, though it does answer most.

In other news… Email sent to the clerk/secretary’s of the various orders.

“Greetings unto the Councils of Lochac’s Peerages,

With the current Known World discussions on a possible Fourth Peerage I though I would pose a few questions to our Kingdoms current peerage councils in order to further cement my opinion on the matter and possibly provide a clearer understanding of the situation for all of Lochac.

The following questions are posed to the respective Councils as a request for an official unified council response, not the individual opinions of various members.

Does the council currently consider the efforts of Archers (both Combat and Target), Fencers, Siege Engineers, Equestrian and other such participants of various fringe activities to be worthy of their respective peerage (if earned, of course)?
Does the council currently have anyone in their sights who they believe may be worthy of their peerage based on the above activities (Not asking for detail, just whether or not it’s possible)?
Does the council ever receive nominations for their respective peerage based on the above activities?
And finally… What is the councils official position on nominations for their respective peerage based on the above activities?

I propose to publish these questions and their answers publicly for the benefit of all of Lochac as I feel that having a public unified response from each of the councils will help everyone understand where things stand, not just the individual opinions of various members.

I look forward to your responses.

Sveinn inn kyrri Grimsson.
Annoying Pleb of Lochac. ”

Though the Chiv email address on their website did bounce.

Here y’are! We developed this around 2004 – though we all thought an archer would be the first to join us – there were so many more of them!

It is publicly available on the Laurel website, under the tab “How are Laurels Chosen?”
That’s why we have Ibn Jelal – he meets these requirements. And he is not the only fencing laurel in the Known World.

Hi Chris, There are a number of places to purchase bars of pewter. Here are a few links:

http://www.northernsmelters.com.au/index.html – One of 2 smelters in Australia. 20Kg minimum, though may be willing to sell less if you ask.
http://www.aemetal.com.au/Webstore/p-44-pewter-casting-sticks.aspx – Smaller sticks from the above supplier.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pewter-Alloy-1-Lb-Ingot-/170747190637?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item27c1535d6d – Decent price, but shipping would be bloody expensive.

And… http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130644466706?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 – If you are after even smaller quantities. This is my stock that I’m selling.
