"Clear" Parchment/Make Tablets

Post by Lordryan »

Hello. This is my first suggestion thread, so no flames, etc please. This is the list I searched before this: Parchment, Clear Parchment, Erase Parchment, etc. so no need to be angry with "Suggested before trollololol".

So, on to my topic. I was thinking that you should be able to clear a piece of parchment so you can write again. This could help with Daily To-Do lists, or leaving notes to people in different timezones than you. You could leave a note saying "We need more bricks" they make bricks, etc, then they erase parchment and leave a note in return when they log-off like, "We made some bricks, but you can start the brickwall" etc. Sounds like a good idea

Idea #2: Clay Tablet
Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, everyone used tablets to write and so on. Greeks used it as a chalkboard sort of thing for math etc. It would cost 3 Clay to make, and you need a Stylus (2 sticks) to write on it. When you need to "Erase" it, you use 1 clay to fill in the stuff you wrote, so it's a flat slate again. Seems like a good idea, instead of wasting precious hides on some Parchment (Unless they are erasable). This would also give a more reliable source of communications for newbs who can't get leather/hides for parchment.

Comments and Ideas please. No flaming.

Parchment is so easy to get, who cares about wiping it

Clay tablets on the other hand sound good, if they make sense with the setting.

Agree with Bro with following stipulation.

Make parchement record a larger message (has been requested a million times already), but Clay tablet retains the current short message size to balance it's easy erase/re-write ability, otherwise it would be vastly superior to parchement.

Erasing a parchment feels kind of wrong (Adding seems ok though). I like the tablet idea, and I don't think it's functionality needs to be limited for "balance".

It would be cool if parchment could be nailed to things. Perhaps clay tablets could be fired to make plaques.
