Quick Questions

Kendus

Is there a general combat, OOC, mechanics clan I can join please?

Sena

What alcoholic drink is the least alcoholic? In other words, what requires the most sips to get drunk?

Also, what's the cheapest alcohol per sip, and the cheapest way to get drunk?

I've been thinking of testing alcohol and tolerance.

Sylvance

It's gotta be ale; that weak stuff that @Phaestus drinks.

Sybilla

Is there (a), and what is (the), March promotion? I'm worried I'm missing out on something...

Kyrra

I heard there were giftbags. Someone bought credits and got some, I bought credits and did not.

I am really curious to know as well.

No March promotion. 

Mishgul

I got a giftbag

Ada

Say I'm upto mythical in enchantment and I get the trans skills due to truefavour. If I made a necklace of purity during that period, will I still be able to use it once the favour wears off?

Sidonia

If demigod skills work the same way, then yes.

dont the necklaces have a decay time?  You can definitely use the fullplate you've forged, as long as it bears your mark you can use it.

Xith

Oh I have a question.

I've seen certain people submit numerous classleads while I could only do the normal 5. So.. how? Is it level-based?

Sena

Pretty sure ACC members can submit more than 5.

Guessing on this one but. If you stay class Magi your necklace of purity should still work.

Most things like that seemed to be class based than having the skill such as when we were demigods me and Draqoom bloodsworned.. It worked because we both had trans devotion however there was no effect because we wern't Paladins/Priests.

What is the Achaean phrase that is the equivalent for "Pyrrhic victory", if there is one?

Arditi

Assuming you mean "Victory at an incredible cost", I submit "Level three everything with wings, veil, diadem, and a custom pet".

Aeonic?

Iocun

Any victory in Achaea is a Pyrrhic victory, because you'll be ganked for it!

Sylvance

Maybe something about Treasure Hunts? I've heard about a citymember who won 'too many treasures' on a treasure hunt, and then spend a couple of hours getting shitty tells and messages from other citymates.

Garao

How far apart generally are the classleads? The Apostate one just got released, so how long will it be, typically, until Bard, Blademaster, Druid, Infernal etcetera, are addressed?

The Achaean word for pyrrhic is "pyrrhic," much like "spartan," "bedlam," "tuxedo," or "mausoleum."

Too much of our language is borrowed from real-world names to mince specifics. Unless it's something very glaring, like "Grecian urn," "Brazil nut," or "American cheese," I'd say it's fine. (If you reach for an Achaean equivalent, you'll probably just draw attention to the divide and effect the adverse.)

Iocun

That would probably depend on
several factors such as the number of classleads for that class, how controversial said classleads are, how much testing they need, etc. It will probably be very fast for some classes, but take a while for others.

And let's be honest, Neraeos' realm is such a perfect analogy to the classical world, there was probably a triton king named Pyrrus out there somewhere, and he probably won a great victory at the cost of forty tritonic legions.

I have to assume this because I like to use "a Rubicon" to mean "a point of no return," but can never explain it when someone asks.

Iocun

A rub-icon is probably something like a scratch card. It means "point of no return" because once you have rubbed the icon clear, you have either won or lost, but you can't change the outcome anymore or re-sell it.

Answer with the ever-useful: I've never been able to prove otherwise! You're welcome to, if you can.

Does mastering kata have any other benefit besides having a guaranteed pass for a grading?

It's only five, they won't let me buy a sixth or a seventh.

Nah. When you trans tekura you auto-master everything too.

Yeah, sadly no. I think that's why I got bored of a monk alt after about 3 days. It fell short of my expectations as an irl martial artist.
