I have tried winding the gears back to starting position but now whenever I try to predict the solstice it is incorrect, causing great embarrassment at the local sect. I bought this because those young men in white robes drawing mystic figures in the sand convinced me it would help me with my predictions, and that it was a lot easier than traditional augury or lining up rocks like the celts do. I call bullshit, what the hell is the problem with traditional birds entrails telling you these things? I spent a goat on this and it isn’t working, and I released all the birds because I thought I wouldn’t need them anymore and now I am freaking out, if I don’t get this right Zeus know what the initiae will do to me.

Anyways, any of you have experience with this issue?

    Have you tried removing the crank and putting it back in again?

    Sorry, you voided your warranty by dunking it in water.

      That’s a brilliant idea. I think even better I leave it in a spot I will remember, like a shipwreck.

    I don’t, no, sorry.

    Maybe try asking in [email protected] ? The people there are not like us, but they are (probably) not to be feared.

    My neighbor has one that I covet, but getting one for myself is out of my price range as long as the blight continues to take one-fifth of my crops, and the priests another one-fifth as payment for their anti-blight sacrifices (which so far have yielded no result).

      See this is the problem. All of this machinery is supposed to make us freer, with more time to tend to our crops. But then you end up in places like this trying to figure out if what you are reading is the lunar calendar or the solar one, and if it is gregorian or babylonian and what not. I don’t feel much freer than when I hunted birds and gutted them for answers. Now I am stuck in my living quarters rewinding the gears over and over with madmen online telling me All Hoplites Are Bastards (they are not, in fact I know no hoplite born out of wedlock). Maybe you should join another cult to deal with the priests from the first one? I hear Dionysian Mysteries are all the rage these days.

      What the fuck is a Linux? Is it one of those Non-Dogmatic Open Schematic Hardware cause I am a firm beleiver in the rule of law and won’t abide by that classless nonsense. Soon you will tell me my slaves can build their own, and then they end up learning and see how well that went with Spartacus for the Romans.

      How can an apple tell me when the next solstice is? Do I take the pips out and do something with them or do apples have some previously unknown psycotropic effects maybe? Tell that Stephanous that he should stop inhaling the volcanic vapors of Delphi because it sounds like his wheel has got a pin loose.

    Nanni sells bad copper, never pay him in advance! The auguries didn’t help me avoid this man.
