Skillset: Crow Skill: DarkRebirth
 Org: Blacktalon Status: Completed Apr 2011
Furies' Decision:
Eggs will now decay after 15 months (from 5 previously).
Problem: As an organization's resurrecting ability, the fact that eggs, when
created for others, decay in 5 RL days and cannot be picked up if it is dropped
in one area and the user dies in another means that the skill is never used by
anyone who is not a Crow-user. Considering that a dark egg is costly to keep
making and is a hassle to find a Crow-user who can replace your egg whenever it
does happen to decay or get used up, it just needs a slight change to make it
more actively used.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Substantially increase (30 months?) the decay length
 from eggs created for non-Crow users and give those
 with eggs created for them the syntax RECALL EGG to
 be able to get the egg from anywhere.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: As above, though add a note that if the Blacknest
 construct is active for the Glomdoring, carrion cost
 is altogether removed for newly made eggs and that
 eggs are able to be made anywhere as long as the two
 participants are together. The latter addition would
 be nice so that Crow-users will be able to make eggs
 for others without having to run to their nest or
 breaking an ally meld to summon a nest before
 summoning an egg (a complicated affair to say the
 least).

Either of these solutions would be nice. Another possible idea might be to have
people revive at the nest of the one who made it, if they die on prime. (Same
effect crow user gets)

I'm good with solution 1. The basic fact that it only lasts 5 months makes it a
real pain to use.

Solution 1 is fine, though it probably should have a maximum time of 10-20
months. (Seems that's standard for org-items of that type)
