Yeah, I don't disagree with any of this. I do like it when not everyone has access to everything and everywhere and doesn't have a network of friends spread out into every single organisation. I'm just fighting the notion that every character needs to sit in one specific, predefined corner of the world and not be allowed to peek out.

I'm saying this for somewhat selfish reasons too, as someone who plays a character who certainly has a quite differing set of traits and influences (Cyrenian, Mojushai, serpent, ex-follower of a nature goddess, fighter for the cause of his race). Yes, that's quite a few even somewhat conflicting interests and influences and yes, we may call that the beginning of a "slippery slope", but making such combinations work and still present a credible character is what makes the game worth playing to me. If, by playing a Cyrenian, I was only allowed to join, say, Phaestus' or Scarlatti's order, if by playing a "pacifist" I was prevented from ever participating in combat, etc., the game would easily become dull for me, because I'd get the feeling of no longer creating a character myself, but simply taking on a pre-defined role.

I'm not saying this needs to extend all the way. The combination serpent+Mojushai for instance, is one I doubt myself, and while it would pain me to quit being a serpent, I would accept it for the sake of a more consistent RP. But I believe that some people are so afraid of said "slippery slope" that they get far too defensive of clearly separated factional stances.

I like to think that most players of Achaea do have some level of maturity and are in fact able to deal with some shades of grey. If we have to start babysitting every single player in order to prevent them from making wrong choices, we have failed as a roleplaying environment already.

Yes, I believe that cities should find ways to discourage assistance of other cities in raid (defence) and I'm of the opinion that it would be better if all classes of a city only accepted members of that particular city. And it certainly won't hurt throwing in some small "artificial tensions" between different cities now and then. But I do not think there's a need to get excessively fearful of grey shades and overlaps in the game world and panic whenever a certain keyword like "alliance" flashes up.

I have friends who do exactly this. Apparently they were bad at PvP in WoW.

(Cyrene): Citizen 2 says, "The cutting is very high."

(Cyrene): Citizen 2 says, "The blunt is just barely over the level that I'd accept to be sold in a shop I own."

(Cyrene): Citizen 2 says, "If I were pricing it, it would be in the 9000 gold range."

(Cyrene): Citizen 2 says, "Bear in mind that as Cyrenians, you all never see the price that I start at, all shops have at least a 10% discount for Cyrenians."

(Cyrene): Citizen 1 says, "Was that a shameless plug?"

(Cyrene): Citizen 2 says, "It was an explanation that you'd see it in the 8000's, even if I priced it at 9000."

(Cyrene): Citizen 2 says, "You decide if me trying to help you is just me trying to help myself."

Is it bad that I'm considering avoiding their shops now? Also math.

This doll is super beautiful and is made to mimic the awesome Goddess Keresis.
You think she is pretty like sunshine! Except she kills puppies. In fact, she's
wearing a t-shirt that says KILLS PUPPIES across her boobs. She is awesome and
you love her.
It weighs 5 ounce(s).

This does not exist. It is in no way mine. Hey, it isn't like you found a copy of 50 Shades of Grey or something. Thank you for finding it, it has now been returned to its rightful place. 

You see Skuld, the Eternal Maiden yell, "Anyone have a well of puppies?"

Thing is she's also in the same house as I, but she did change her name to Elcinae from a different one, so perhaps she's not a troll? >.> But anyways, w/e, my haters be my motivators. :P

I don't know, the fact that she changed her name from another to that one makes her being a troll all the more likely in my mind. That being said, I am tempted to call -you- Elcinae 
:-?

What is far more likely is that Aislin and Aisling are both Irish names with essentially the same meaning. Pronounced 'ash-lin' if I remember right. So, not a troll, just a common Irish name.

Daslin

Intelligence, I no has it.

Both mean "dreaming" or "dreamer". One of my favourite names.

Your bug report (detail: in Adryn's keep there's a quest to retrieve Lord Adryn's dog. He hands you handkerchief139941. The dog is "an Adryn hound" (#59358) and is found "Inside a rundown wooden shack." guarded by Demin. When entering the location before, the dog would recognise the scent and follow you, and Demin would attack. Now neither react, and giving the handkerchief to the dog does nothing.) - has been fixed. The following notes were included: It would appear that the dog previously suffered from a very strong head cold, and as a result could not detect hidden and shrouded individuals by smell. We have administered a hodgepodge of home remedies advocated by our old grannies, which should have resolved the problem, given his expression.

Haha! This is fantastic, whoever wrote it really made my (going-rather-crappy) night! Thank you :x

Saw this in Bitterfork:

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

I happened to walk by together with Eudora, and noticed that you were in
a relatively small gatehouse giving off a rather ghastly stench. Since
there's nary a window to crack inside there, it was rather noticable-
and considering you've been there a while..
In the interest of decency, I figured I'd advise you to take a bath, as
it does happen that people get used to their own odour.

I figured saying "Take a freakin' bath" was a swifter way to convey my
point.


Humbly yours,

Jairo.
