    Agreed.
    Oh, that explains your patience, then. Well, Uncle, we have told you in this thread that you have the patience of saints, so it was an understandable mistake!
    (Also, not cool, and headdesking).

    At least, I'm glad you managed to calm your BP, and didn't have to do something entirely understandable.

    Somehow, that reminds me of something I've seen on the screen...
    (And it shitting on your second wife's mat means mayhem would ensue, no matter what!)

    It varies, with the size of the traveling procession and the status of the traveller. A small palanquin, or somebody on foot, would be on the second layer while their mob scene of baggage, bearers, etc., were all on the bottom layer. A large palanquin, and a larger party, will usually be on the bottom layer as they simply won't fit on the middle layer. I, for example, despite being a relatively high official, went on the bottom tier as I had a pretty large baggage train that I wanted to keep an eye on. This did cause some scandalized comment, especially as I didn't have a palanquin; I couldn't afford one, at that point, and anyway I wanted to be a lot more comfortable then ostentatious - or obvious, for that matter. A few 'inducements' to various people, and we had a very nice quiet trip. By my standards, anyway...

    Well, this isn't my party; this event / track is run by Brett Slocum, and he maintains a very strong position of keeping things civilized and polite. I am not going to slaughter anybody in his clanhouse, as it were, and ruin his party. So, I kept my mouth shut, and moved on.

    That's good advice for Tekumel as well!

    Agreed; as Gronan has commented, courtesy is not dead.

    Sigh.

    I don't need a three foot long model of the original Starship Enterprise.
    I don't have a place to STORE a three foot long model of the original Starshp Enterprise.

    You do not store a three foot model of the original Starship Enterprise- you display it in all of it's glory! No room? Get rid of the couch, kitchen table...

    Goddamn. That would be cool. A D-7 would be awesome too. If I got a Bird of Prey I'd have to get a local artist to airbrush the feathers.
