Problems with Racial traits
I'm trying to add a racial trait for a kind of "Enviromentalist/Recycler" race to my mod, and I've hit a snag.
The premise is a race that is environmentally cautious, and utilizes every resorce to it's fullest capacity, thus reducing the resources needed to run the society, etc.
How would I go about adding a thing like this, or can I?

Re: Problems with Racial traits
This recent trend of posting the same question on every forum makes it really difficult to track discussions spanning multiple domains...

So people should avoid using all the information resources they have available to them, so as to not inconvenience you?

Re: Problems with Racial traits
No, they should link everything to one common thread.
Otherwise you're going to waste people's time giving answers that have already been given.
Its like asking someone on the street for directions, and then quietly asking a couple other people in the area the same question while the first guy is getting out a map.

Re: Problems with Racial traits
No, because he added a constructive suggestion for dealing with the supposed "problem", rather than just indulging in self-absorbed whining.
Not that I agree with the suggestion, mind you. If somebody asked a question, but wanted all replies posted to another thread on some other site that I don't normally read, I probably wouldn't bother answering.
When I have a question that I could post in multiple forums, I post it in the one I think most likely to produce a useful reply, then wait a week or so for an answer before trying again on the next most likely site.

Re: Problems with Racial traits
It's a matter of perspective. The guy asking the original question may get his answer a little quicker by posting in multiple threads. However, a post is most useful to the community at large if it can be linked to a single thread.
I prefer the second approach, because it leads to fairly reasonably organized information. The first approach leads to a mess.
