[ Kid hasn't really minded the eclipse insofar as he can still see perfectly fine, but he can definitely sense that it's wearing on other people -- especially those who are new, and there seem to be many of them this time. He's already done one general introduction post a few months ago, and since it seemed to help new people then... ]Anyone who

Thank you for this. If everyone here is this helpful and considerate, it shouldn't be too hard to get used to Splendor.

[grimreaping]

You're very welcome.

[ what a nice compliment! Kid glows; it's nice to be appreciated ]

[falloflight]

Is it alright if I ask you some questions?

[ yes, very appreciated...for how easy it seems pumping you for information will be. ]

[grimreaping]

Certainly.

[falloflight]

What do you know about the wishes that were successful?

[grimreaping]

Everything that I know, I've laid out in the aforementioned guide.

[falloflight]

Sorry. I don't mean to be a bother. I just thought maybe there might be something linking together the wishes that were properly granted. You said no group is more skilled, but maybe something in the wishes themselves... It could be interesting to research.

[grimreaping]

It's no bother. If anything, I've noticed that clear and concisely worded wishes produce the best results.

[falloflight]

If that's the only stipulation, it still seems pretty broad. Certainly there are multiple ways something that one person might see as clear and concise would be seen by another as more subjective. ...Though it sounds like that's the whole point.

[grimreaping]

Hence the experiments I've been conducting.

[falloflight]

Your guide doesn't mention any limits on how many wishes a single person can make or how often. I guess that means there isn't any.

[grimreaping]

There aren't any reasonable limits, but moderation should be encouraged.

[falloflight]

Everything in moderation, isn't it? [ LOL NOPE ]

I just have one more question, if that's okay.

[grimreaping]

Certainly.

[falloflight]

What happened those times some people wished to have others brought here?

[ the tone of his voice hasn't changed. still mild, still polite. yet there's something different... it's difficult to qualify. this question is the most important. ]

[grimreaping]

Nothing, of course. The city won't grant wishes like that, just as it won't grant wishes to return ourselves home.
