In the North, Spark has encountered a new tribe of creatures, who are eager to take him as an emissary between cultures. In the south, Iron sleeps off his wounds, with dreams of a new life for himself and a certain zebra. Silver tries to settle in those he saved from the cultists into their own lives. Fantasy play establishes herself in Baltimare, and she too, has encountered cultures unknown to her before. As they all search for normalcy, it remains to be seen just what dangers await beyond the horizon

"Could you give me a route in order to get money?" Iron asks "I do not mean cooking, as I am not one to do that, but... somehing a bit more physical could work."

"Well, I got this place, then there's a matter of getting materials and customers. And with... other business, someone needs to be talked down.

"So either I locate and transport materials, lure ponies to eat here, do some convicing and helping out other ponies to pass through something," Iron tries to surmise as accurately as possible. "How would I go about doing the first two?"

"Oh," Iron replies with a little pout before rising his ears up in realization "...perhaps you could point me to the right ponies in order to understand what I could do better."

"No, I just mean there are some things to do. For instance, the potion shop. I found a place, but there are materials to acquire for it, as well as customers. Then in that other thing I do, you know the thing, someone needs to be dealt with. Let me rephrase that. Someone needs to be talked to. And then so far as business for that other thing I do, well, you already know what I do. It involves a tire iron. Other creatures do more with animals and heavy crates. Customs is giving them a hard time." She looks past Iron, towards Blanche
"Even these are not everything, but I've been helping the Kirin mare."

Iron nods softly, listening intently. "Ah," he answers with a sheepish smile "sorry about that. Perhaps my best choic is to start grinding on the ingredients." Recovering into a normal smile, he turns to Cauldron. "So, what would you need in the short term that I could potentially find? I do have a lot of experience from the jungle to get some of the ones growing on the wild and the time to gather more mundane ones otherwise."

"I believe I can do that," Iron answers confidently before pouting softly "how many of these ingredients would be considered as 'bulk', however? For that matter, how heavy are they?"

"Well.... It just depends on the potion. Some ingredients, like mint for health potions, are easy to find. The bark of New Mareland Ironwood, for stoneskin, has to be imported. Then there's aluminum powder, tiger fur, kelp..."

Iron has a blank look on his face, a bit surprised at the amount of ingredients. "Uh, kelp is... one of those deep water plants, right?" he asks "Mint should be pretty easy to find, tiger fur I may know where I could find, but this 'ha-lum-ee-num' powder I have no idea what it is."

"Well, don't worry too much. A lot of the ingredients I can just buy on the open market and it really isn't a big deal. Some requires deep jungle plants or animals and is kind of hard to find. Some has to be imported from countries that... Well, there are just aren't trade agreements with those countries at this time. And some are chemicals that are heavily regulated now."

"What would you require directly from the jungle or other wild areas?" Iron replies, trying to narrow down the potential ingredients that he can reliably gather with his strength and experience with tropical biomes.

Iron turns back to Cauldron with a happy smile. "We will get both problems covered that way, unless you believe it is wiser to rack up customers more than ingredients."

If you want to conduct sessions earlier, that's actually better. I'll adjust my schedule to make it work.

>It still stutters every 7/9 posts.
Is this when viewing all posts or also just partial (last 50,100, 200 posts), and what browser are you using so I can do more testing.
Just to have asked a dumb question (just to eliminate the basic case) I assume reloaded the page so the newest js gets loaded.

I assume the stutter you talk about is when scrolling. and that every 70,40,35 post you scroll by you get a little stutter "freeze" when "Auto update" looks for new posts. Or is this when you scroll normally, and if you can try to turn off "Auto Update" (uncheck Auto at bottom of page) to see if you still get stutters. If you still get stuttering while scrolling after Auto update is turned off I will have to looks further into it as it won't be related to autoupdate where I found a big bottleneck.
The initial load of big threads/threads will always take a little toll as it has to do quite a bit.
>I tried loading this thread in Dissenter and didn't experience any stuttering (well got the tiny stutters I forced it to scroll superfast (click-hold on scrollbar) but that is due to rendering and I would not expect it to be able to do that fluently, not even notepad will do that)

I disabled the update and moved the cursor out of the way to avoid to render previews; now the scrolling is smooth in every case.
Under the same conditions described above, viewing all posts of this long page, the stutters happens every 500 posts.

Is it so that if you turn on autoupdate the stutters comes back every time it looks for updates (every 5 sec)? Like if you scroll continuously up and down you get a freeze every 5 sec? Or is it usable as it is now, like you can force it to do a few freezes but under normal conditions it won't be a nuance or particularly noticeable?

Correct, with the update ON the scroll stutters every ~10 posts.
It's not a terrible but it might be annoying for some autistic poner.
In desktops, at least for me, it's not an issue but I don't know about phone fags as I don't own a phone.
