Memorable quotes

Sabiru

Cyrene's devo is the next thing on this thread's agenda, thanks for the segue

Jiraishin

Can we please go back to quotes? I'm looking through my recent logs to see if I have any interesting ones I can actually share, but please?

Silas

Already on it, no sweat.

Vayne

Well, it seems the admins are turning their gaze to Hashan/Cyrene once Targossas is on its feet, which is pretty much seems to be now, so we shall see.

@Kuruvar How could it not be Devos? Cyrene currently has them in its fabric too, but as Sabiru pointed out, I think that will be changing as well.

Cahin

Bard to Cyrene will be the perfect way to balance the tremolo change.

Let's see some actual quotes please, people, lest I find myself bored and decide to go forth and sharpen my scimitars on Silas again!

Sooo...no quotes?

Silas

As You will, my Lady.

You read what is written on an elegant white letter:
Dear douchelord,

My name is Extrum and I would like this to reflect my intentions of
joining your city. I have been a long standing ally with those who are
in your city, and I believe you will find many can vouch for me. I was a
mhaldorian for a short time, but was never enemied to Shallam. My
current class is bard, and because of this, I will make my next points
through song.

Well, he's all you'd ever want
he's the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But he always knows his place
he's got style, he's got grace--he's a winner
Silas's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, Silas's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

Well, he's never in the way
Always something nice to say, and what a blessin'
I can leave him on his own
Knowin' he's OK alone and there's no messin'
Silas's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, he's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

Well, he never asks very much
And I don't refuse him
Always treat him with respect
I never would abuse him
What he's got is hard to find
And I don't want to lose him
Help me build a mountain
From a little pile of clay, hey hey hey

Well, he knows what I'm about
he can take what I dish out, and that's not easy
But he knows me through and through
And he knows just what to do and how to please me
he's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, he's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Silas's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, Silas's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

I can be a Targossan now?

-In fayth to teh light and Her Sexiness
Extrum the Prophetic Choralist

Dartega

Someone buy that guy a drink

Shunsui

God damnit I actually had to sing that out loud as I read it.

Dartega

I was going to do it to What's new pussycat, but that song gets weird fast. 

Vayne

5783h, 4614m, 22330e, 20800w cexdb-sigh letter with signet cyan

You give an intricately embossed letter a pained sigh.

Melodie

The worst is when you get the seal syntax wrong.

WHY do we have a bloody seal emote?!

Silas

The number of times Sothantos has seal clapped letters is just amazing.

Skye

that's why I don't seal letters in public >_>

Runelore as a skill is almost certainly not going to be monopolised by any one faction, since all factions will need access to totems as a major part of current standard city defences. Stick to the other two skills.

The other two shaman skills are curses (which is like a slightly mediocre version of evileye) and vodun (which is the same as puppetry). The only unique thing about shamans is Tzantza, which while cool is hardly enough to make it a factional perk comparable to devotion, groves, spirituality, healing, necromancy, apostasy, occultism, woodlore, domination, and metamorphosis.

Making shamans Hashan-only while keeping runelore available to everyone seems more like a cop-out than a real solution to the problem here.

Well, I mean, if you insist... sure, we'll take runewardens too.

That's fine with me. Cyrene will take monks and magi.

With the other cities having two classes, Ashtan should get blademasters too, because of the void stuff.

Kardal tells you, "Thank you for giving birth to my best friend!! *hug*." (referring to @Aalya)

You tell Neonate Kardal Xanatov-Thorngage,  *snicker* Of course..? I dunno' what say to that!"

Kardal tells you, "Maybe try this 'Any time dear. And if you want another, I'll let you know when one might be on the way!' Maybe ?"

Yes, and I would like to thank everyone who assumed my new title was Grand Teacher Delta and messaged me asking me wtf my news post meant.
You made me feel excited, then very very depressed.

Hashan       
   Spiritwalkers (130)
   Blacklotus (105)
   Serpentlords (94)
   Crownmerchants (80)

...I never thought I'd see the day where Spirit Walkers were the top of that list.

Apparently Aktillum is on drugs too. Public News Board....ever the source of entertainment.

While I appreciate the outside perspective(when it is constructive), it is obvious most of you have no understanding of Hashan. I have as well as others, including divine, been working on Hashan for several years now, redeveloping that identity and position in the world with our blood, sweat, and tears, despite all the flak and negative image we are given constantly on the forums. While, it would be nice to have our own factional class, since we are the only city without one, Tecton made it clear there are no plans for such in the works, but has commented that we will be getting some "tools" to help further solidify our factional identity.

But I thought Akia, Roroan and Jarrod all went back to Ashtan?

Your city has no true identity.  

Starting with you, and down to your last man, Hashanites are cultural parasites to all other legitimate cities. 

Conceptually, you have no true ownership over anything that wasn't shrink wrapped and delivered to you beforehand, be it stolen or gifted. Your classes are all labors of someone elses work, anything on your menu is unsurprisingly borne of another's sweat. The only concept you've had in life was the origin of the Shaman. Which coincidentally, you couldn't perfect until someone did it for you and handed it back to you. Your lot in life is that of a fence-sitter. Forever apathetic in either heroic or cowardly acts as a city -your stagnant nature, which wallows in complacency, is complimented only by your equally unremarkable membership. The Crown's large population is nothing more than a testament to the large trough you have at x-roads: cattle like good feed.

Go ahead and take a step back, let us world shakers and inventors decide what's best for you. Nothing will change, and your neutral approach in life will be attained. If I can leave your city with any one compliment, I guess we could say you are good at being bad.
