    there probably will be no part III. Two reasons: 1) my computer won't play this game, and I can't afford a new one, so I've wasted $65. 2) An objection to one of my posts caused its deletion.

    thank you fans. if I get over being so....hmm...pc term pc term...."annoyed" I may come back some day. The post deleted went something like (edited version follows): --Gerta sniffed, "I can say the letter 'r' and 'l' don't be insulting!" but then she grinned and winked again, muttering under her breath....."Eskuerel....Sk-wirel...****phooey." --I wrote the moderator after doing a quick search for the offending word (**** not phooey) that turned up many many uses in the forums.

    I have not been here a long long time. And I do wish - after all this time - to add my comment...

    There certainly is some level of, err, let's call it randomness, in the moderation...
    Also, the objection could've been voiced at you directly, and you could've changed it. No need to report or delete!

    I *do* hope to see you posting a Part III again!

    Even if we did crowd-fund him a new PC... He'd never know, because he's not been here since January! ;(

    29 Sept 2019.... I have a new computer now for about 3 months. I am in SOTA as "Mingo TheBard". My home is in Veritas Sanctuary, 1st player city south of the Blood River Bridge, 2nd house from the SOUTH Oracle. I have a vendor and sell pretty songs, cheap, 250g each. I have only now come back to the forums, and re-read the entire line of posts (well, I liked it!) ....I make myself laugh... -- if any of you are still around, I will check this forum more frequently now, probably not every day.

    Welcome back, Bodhbh grins from a dark corner... I've been waiting for your return and was warned by a little bird *Bodhbh grins while glancing at the blood red raven next to him* that I should come here and have a look!

    *Bodhbh offers Mingo some pipe tobacco*

    OOC: DO you have it now for the next 3 months, or have you had it since 3 months now?... Just trying to figure out what you were trying to say... Just want to know: Will you be gone again after 3 months, or did it take 3 months to find your way back here? :D

    I have been playing SOTA for 3 months. I got the cheap monthly subscription. On my account I have Mingo TheBard an alchemist/mage/farmer and Frida the stealthy rogue. Neither is very powerful. "Prime Meridian" is our guild. Apparently I misssed the "glory days" of building the world, and I see very very few players. Good to hear from you Bod! Do you play much?
    --at that Mingo lights up his pipe and nods thanks at Bod for the tobacco.

    Alas, my obligations in the other realm keep me from being here very often, and yes, the population is sparse and may be declining, which is very sad!

    After such a long absence, you need Rum!

    Here, please, take my tankard, I shall fetch another from my ship The Tempest.
    You are invited to join me on board for a refill when you are near Port Dragomir Mori.

    so, trinity and bod, I missed the last four years of SOTA growing the world.... the player cities being built...the changes. The first two parts of "Tale of the Red Hat Gnomes" was based on supposition and guesswork... many of the things in it are not found in Novia. So, if I did continue writing about Gerta (time lord's cousin and adopted Apsara) and Kozue (Krisskar's daughter???) I don't know whether to make changes to the "setting" of the story or leave in what now proves to be erronious surroundings. what would I do with the Gnomes in the story? Hamster and Bluebell had much potential. Shall I do like Luke and just throw the lightsaber away?

    "No Gnomes!"
    "I think the designers have just not released them into Novia"
    "That does not mean they don't exist"
    "Just yesterday I saw a tiny person in Soltown"

    (it was only an avatar using the shrink potion )
    "Those guys are as cute as gnomes but not nearly as smart or mischievous"

    "I suggest you continue your story/journey, life is always changing."
    "If it was always the way we wanted it to be, think of how boring that would be!"
