But we frequently don't know how many it will take to accomplish a given task. I did post my estimate of how much I was spending, but I also made my intended effects clearly leglible in OOC. Is that acceptable?

This really is a knotty problem. On the players' side, they're unsure how much the effect costs, and so they want to leave it vague, whereas on the GM's side, it's uncertain how large an effect the players want, not to mention that GM-discretionary expenditures like that may result in overbudgeting. For example, Tower lets you double Swords or Chalices at home, Temperance(reversed) doubles the effect of Swords used for ravages, and probably some others I forgot... and if another deity is unaware of these arcana and tries to attack or counteract the deity with them, he might be uncertain of the cost and nevertheless find that it's higher.

When two deities try to counteract eachother, make them both make a bid (in swords/pentacles/etc.) in PM to you. That gives you an exact amount. Otherwise, vague amounts should be enough?

No valid objection from me. As long as you don't speed up the game.

Right. Any objections to me taking over? And should I look for someone to turn Martin over to, leave him NPC, or remove him from the game?

That might be influence from, well, Greek myth and pretty much everything with deities which are large-scale humans. They have an endless set of buggery, rape, bastards, halfbreeds, unusual methods of procreation, cuckolds, etc. It appears to be wired into the genre.

Also, sig material.

So that's what that feeling was. Might want to chastise them - I kept getting a strong urge to accuse you all of devolving the game into buggery and closing up shop.

Good thing those gremlins stopped aye?

All right then. I'll tell my gremlins to stop sending psychic signals to Tarinaky.

I do not. The slowness of the game is the reason why I'm playing, rather than not.
