Library discussion

Here are my thoughts:

Do we want to purchase tractatus with our starting points?

I thought that the consensus was that we would, even though it wasn't as efficient as buying summae.

If we do purchase tractatus, do we want them for Arts, abilities, or both?

I don't have strong feelings on this. I'll defer to what other people want.

Do we want to make an efficient buy, or spread the points out into a more even library (keeping in mind that silveroak said that books with a L+Q of 20 are just above discarded books)? Another way to ask this question is: do we want only 'sound' books in our library, or do we want a few 'vain' books in it as well.?

Again, I thought the consensus was that we would make a more even library (including both sound and vain books), despite the fact that it wasn't the most efficient point buy. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

That having been said, I don't want to spend covenant build points on books that will be worthless (or essentially worthless).

Do we want to concentrate the library on the the subjects that got three or more votes (8 subjects), or do we want to spread the library out among subjects that got two or more votes (11 subjects)?

I'd say concentrate the summae on the highest vote-getters, and then devote tratatus to the others, if there are points left over.

Do we want to maximize points on the three top vote-getters (excluding Code of Hermes, which we all seem to acknowledge doesn't need to be maximized)? These are (Creo, Vim, and Magic Theory.)

I say yes.

How many covenant build points do we want to put into the library?

I say 299 points, per my latest proposal at Subject: Covenant Design Discussion

If we want to increase build points to the library, where do we want to take them from (specialists or vis resources)?

I say take what we can from the specialists, and keep the vis sources where they are.
