Not yet, that'll be in the next chapter or next+1 chapter of the History when I get round to writing it though rather than here.  :)

Added entries for:
- 4 political parties
- SOTK, Tee, and Othko
- Citizens, Triumphs
- Possibly something else too, can't remember

Any more suggestions please fire away!

And yes, been reading & note-writing solidly for a few days, boiling all the while.

Eep! I've still got a few bits to fix, mostly waiting on Rob but I'll get more graphics stuff done in the meantime. Genuinely I'll get it out as soon as I'm able to.

Banned for breaking the Sacred English Oath and revealing to foreigners our great secret that it's not actually always raining!  :P

Am I just going to get rapidly lynched again? I just get the bad feeling this is going to become a running thing in mafias...

Forwarded the save to you CG. Please make sure we're out of a hole before I bugger things up again.  :P

I don't wholly buy it, you see those videos of impoverished people around the world and they don't look short when compared with the reporter/presenter. And these would be peoples that have been malnourished for generations. But I do understand the whole protein thing and realise it probably is the most likely cause.
Actually the data on averages does back it up strongly: South Korean people average a fair bit taller than North Koreans for example. There are of course other genetic factors, but between groups with similar genes certainly height can vary a lot with nutrition and nurture (and height genes probably haven't been changing as radically within the last few thousand years as diet).

All the things!  ;D

We can also give you like loads of professorships if you want, just to cement our reputation as the best sinecure generator on the internet...  :P

Yay! I need to learn to use pygame properly... AoS just uses tkinter which is a bit crap really.  :P

Cloak making? The Forging of the Rings? All of the maths? Geology? Ceilidh dancing/calling?

All the stuff? :)

As I said above, the most plausible theory seems to be that it's mainly dictated by nutrition.

So trends in the past have included a drop from the Middle Ages to the late C18th, then a rise to the present; there was also apparently a big drop at the advent of grain-based agriculture as people started eating a lot less meat.

Lies and slander! And stuff! I serve only our noble nation and its glorious and blessed Queen and Chancellor!
