With the Wolffe Moon event being so successful, who would be interested in another?

May I suggest the Lunar Eclipse on March 13-14, aka the Blood moon?

To me, this just screams for a Fox/Corrie Guard event...

Interest?

Suggestions/comments about names or ideas for said event would be greatly appreciated!

I thought I was the one obsessed with potatoes but it turns out that when you point it out people come with 82493 justifications about why potatoes (and it's always just them, even in my other posts few people wanted to talk about say, coffee in space) are always justified actually and you don't need to think about them

noooooooooooooo I don't wanna think about the thousands of years of civilization and culture in the Andes please please please don't make me think about other cultures pleaaaaaase just let me have my knights and wizards noooooooooo

I'm trying to be reasonable here but when you really think about it it's funny, I'm just pointing out that potatoes aren't from Europe and people instead of saying "huh, you're right, maybe I should consider that fact for my future writing" are like NOOOOOOOOOOO BUT WHAT IF A WIZARD BROUGHT THEM, there's a whole other post about how "we can't deny our fantasy characters the potato" fair, I love them too, but why don't you want to learn where your stuff came from, why do you want for "wizards" to make appear them out of nowhere instead of learning there are real people with thousands of years of history who domesticated and created those things you take from granted

are you so scared of learning some of your things actually came from other cultures that were actually not Europeans who live in castles?

does this scare you?

Weird potato fact is also that they were domesticated in the Andes but then spread to other areas like the Chilean lowlands and THOSE are the progenitor of the varieties most non-Andeans consume. The varieties from the Andes are actually genetically somewhat distinct from USAmerican/etc varieties (and taste better lbr they just tend to be smaller and id guess lower yielding). Sorry this isn't even that related to your post but I just like potato facts

Oh yes, one of the theories is that the origin of the main varieties of potatoes consumed worldwide is an hybridization between Andean (Solanum tuberosum andigena) and Chilean (Solanum tuberosum tuberosum) stocks. Domesticated plants are rather complex like that.

Andean potatoes are smaller yes, but they are used in traditional ways of eating them such as chuño. They also have an incredible variety of shapes, colors and flavor:

But let's go one step at a time. Some people still can't grasp the fact there are people outside Europe, talking about this might be too much.

today there still stands early agricultural labs where the incans would test out new plant/crop species at different simulated altitudes, to see which plants could be grown on which parts of the mountains. literally bioengineering our most beloved carb thousands of years ago with little else besides stones and soil.

A good friend of mine bought a house with his partner and 6 of their friends (8 total)

My bestie and I talk about living on the same floor of the same building just so we could walk into each others apartments like sitcom characters, complete with cellphone-aided leitmotifs and laugh tracks.
