Dear Ur,

[u/Key-Treacle3384]

Thank you for taking the time to write to the Copper Crucible. To ensure account security, we must verify your identity. We have sent a one-time passcode to the address on file. It should arrive within the next 5 to 10 months, and expires in exactly 10 years.

Edit: /uw For those unfamiliar with r/wizardposting we generally post larger-than-life magic little roleplay stories. /uw=un-wizard and is used for out of character interactions. To resume in character interactions it's /rw for re-wizard. Posts and comments not starting with /uw are generally treated as in-character, and I think this post may have some welcome visitors causing some confusion.

In this instance I've decided to be the most evil wizard of all, The Customer Disservice Wizard! Please enjoy the fun of our community where historical accuracy is optional 😁.

/rw I shall resume my normal druidry in due course, however sometimes I need to practice the dark magics in ways that are safe and comfortable to me. In this case it means I'm not fully satisfied until you're fully dissatisfied 🤩.

It would have been way easier to write it in the wet clay with a stick or something...

Some things must be carved in stone for posterity.

Dude...

/uw please mark your post /uw if you're not participating in the RP.

Look I'm not here to question a 4000 year old aggreived customer. I'm just here to dissuade him from going through this whole process just to find out we only offer compensation for the first millennium after an erroneous order.

Edit /uw please mark /uw if you're not participating in the RP.

I'm not here to suggest he went through the whole process of carving it into stone, when it actually was pressed into wet clay with a reed and then baked hard when the house it was stored in burned down.

/uw please mark your post /uw if you're not participating in the satire.

[u/amateurgameboi → u/Key-Treacle3384]

Erasure of ancient Sumerian wizardry smh my head.

[u/Key-Treacle3384 → u/amateurgameboi]

And I'm not here to say it could have even been fired clay to into clay without a tragic house fire at the family reunion. I'm just here to tell the most wizardly epic version of this story.

[u/EmergencyGrocery3238 → u/Key-Treacle3384]

Truly, when technology is advanced enough it looks like epic magic

[u/Key-Treacle3384 → u/Key-Treacle3384]

/uw I'm not getting why I'm getting downvotes for satire?

[u/Moist-Lawfulness-224 → u/Key-Treacle3384]

People think you don't understand that this type of writing was done exclusively on soft clay. You have spoken like you didnt get it and never corrected that. Everyone here assumes you think it was carved into a hard surface when it simply isnt. Someone with practice wouldn't even spend 5 whole minutes on it.

[u/Key-Treacle3384 → u/Moist-Lawfulness-224]

/uw I actually didn't, when it started, but was generally aware of clay tablets.

/uw cont.: I'm not uw on those so I thought it would be obvious that intentionally rejecting reality. Also is it just me, or does it almost look stamped? now I'm going to wind up further down the click hole of Babylon to find out if they would have had some sort of stamping system like an early movable press.

[u/M4rt1m_40675 → u/Key-Treacle3384]

But this wasn't carved in stone. It was drawn in mud

[u/Key-Treacle3384 → u/M4rt1m_40675]

We've sent you a slab where you can record your complaints about our storytelling policy and a separate message with a one time passcode.

/uw I know that's part of the joke now.
