I care about these things and like people to put the effort into paying attention to such details, also to people at least trying to learn to pronounce (perhaps foreign) names correctly if they don't already know, that sort of thing.

It could well just be a regional thing.

Good move! Your wording actually allows that to mean that you didn't even change it until just now but also doesn't specify that you've just changed it as a result of the comment.

So I watched week 4, part 4 before I went to college this morning and mid way through a math exam started giggling to myself as I realised something from the show regarding JP's situation at this point...

He really didn't actually kill the guy! He's been acting so guilty all along I kinda forgot.

+ Show Spoiler +Oh right, easy to forget that the poison, supplied by Abigael, dealt enough damage on its own...

+ Show Spoiler +Funny thing is that Abigael pulls out all these potions while Tudagub is being the one about to be executed for murder (and robbery). She carries around the murder victim's whole pharmacy but no one seems to be able to make the connection.

+ Show Spoiler +First I just wanted to reply in spoilers cause thats what all the cool kids are doing. Second of all I love how JP tries to do so much but it always ends up bad IE. Command confess, talk to the ogre, command fight etc.

I guess there's some back story to why JP's character didn't how any mercy at all. Well, I hope there is.
+ Show Spoiler +Well it feels wrong because you have a sense of morality. JP's character tudagub is neutral evil, so he's not as heavily burdened by silly little things like 'conscience'.

If i remember correctly she took 10 potions from a whole store worth's. Not really that noticeable.
Also spoilers tags are annoying.

Hm, how many prepared potions are there in the average alchemists shop? I'd guess it wouldn't be that many, if you assume that they have a limited best-before date. So i would think that the average alchemists shop has a few popular potions readily prepared and a lot of dried or otherwise conserved ingredients in the shop. Probably also some kind of herb garden for ingredients which need to be fresh. That should allow him to brew you most potions without a lot of waiting time, but depending on what you want you might have to wait a lot longer for the correct moonphase or for more rare ingredients to be gathered. It would be incredibly wasteful to have a lot of random potions in that shop if they go bad after some time, especially considering that they often need quite expensive ingredients.
Of course it also depends on the frequency of adventurers arriving who want potions. If that happens regularly, the alchemist can afford to have more potions prepared because he will usually get rid of them in time. I doubt that a smaller town would even be capable of sustaining a dedicated alchemists shop, since their business is rather limited. Alchemistic potions are usually far too expensive for the average villager, so unless that alchemistic part is only one side of his business, he would be sitting around doing nothing most of the year waiting for some adventurers. In most communities, you would probably have the classical midwife/herblady who might do a bit of alchemic potionsbrewing on the side. And she probably wouldn't have a lot of stuff prepared.
Mr Uglyguy is apparently in a larger town that can support a dedicated alchemist (probably spends most of his time brewing love potions for nobles, though), but it did not appear to me as if the town was either really big or some kind of important crossroads where people pass all the time. Which means that he probably has only limited quantities of the most popular perishable potions, and maybe a few others which stay good for a long time.

Ah yes, I'm sure the whole region was just queueing up to buy a love potion from an alchemist with a charisma of 3 ^_^

You are now trying to describe a world that only exists in Neal's head... in a way that makes you more knowledgeable than Neal on the town... that he is fucking writing in his head.
Nothing about that sounds really stupid to you I am guessing? Seriously, do you work for a DnD writing company?
And you are supposing now, not only contents of the shop in Neal's head, but also the potion market.(the nobles frequently buy love potions). And you are judging about the expiration dates.. of magical potions... in the imaginary world inside Neal's head.
Do you visit the imaginary world in Neal's head often? apparently more than Neal does, since we are now correcting Neal's assumptions as to the imaginary alchemy shop in his imaginary town.
Or maybe you were an alchemist yourself? I didnt know people still practiced Alchemy. Is this what gives you the knowledge about the potion market, and what exactly would be kept in an Alchemy shop on a daily basis? Are love potions being sold to Nobles frequently in your town? Is it a large town? must be if you are a full time alchemist.
You must be a real joy to hang out with. Please point out more inconsistencies of the world that someone else is imagining up, although these werent even inconsistencies, as you are trying to convince that the shop in Neals head is somehow unbelievable, because everyone knows, alchemy shops (granted its a larger town) dont stock a lot of potions usually, Instead he grows a small garden in the back, and will only build them on request.... because if you werent aware of it.... Magical potions have a clear expiration date, and nobody wants wasted inventory in magical potions. Can you imagine a Luck or Love potion gone bad?
+ Show Spoiler +I CANT. CAUSE THE ENTIRE PREMISE IS STUPID.
-.-'' No matter how hard I try to write only positive things... ffuuuuuu You have ruined my month long streak
stepped away, deep breaths
Is it possible that you are wrong? And you are not actually an expert on imaginary towns in magical imaginary lands? How can you judge the credibility of a town... that is literally 10000000000000% impossible... to actually KNOW anything about. A. It exists in an imaginary world. There is literally NOTHING you can compare it to. Literally nothing. There is no single possible way for anyone to know... what a fake shop, in a fake town, in a fake world, would be like.

I think you misunderstood what i wrote, and then got incredibly angry because of that.
At no point was i arguing that anything he described was wrong. I was answering to the guy who said that she only took 10 potions out of the whole shop, and that that would be insignificant and noone would notice. I was not judging, i was explaining how i saw things, and that is that the 10 potions she took would probably be most of the active inventory of that particular shop, which might be noticed. Of course i might have misremembered that exact part of the podcast, since it is a week or two back that they did the potion stealing.
And then i just speculated a bit about the economics of alchemists. For no particular reason, just for fun. Because i like doing that kind of stuff. I like thinking about how stuff might work in a fictional world. Somehow this tickled you in a really bad way and you got angry. I think i even mentioned earlier in this thread that judging other persons play is stupid, so we are pretty much on the same page in this. (In this case it might be slightly different because they also produce entertainment to be consumed, but that really does not matter that much)

I am only saying that carrying potions and being the companion of someone who was seen carrying the body might mean you are to be suspected too.
Just surprised that Tudagub wouldn't implicate Abigael when he is evil and about to be executed for a murder he didn't commit.

Not angry. More like baffled by the audacity of someone attempting to tell someone else, that their imagination and understanding of something that doesnt even exist, is wrong.
