Titonus says to Hataru in Mhaldorian in a raspy, draconic voice, "You were a woman."

Hataru says to Titonus in Mhaldorian with an icy, old Hashani accent, "You only just learned that?"

You say in a multifarious voice, "Well that armor makes it a bit hard to tell."

Hataru says in Mhaldorian with an icy, old Hashani accent, "The hair should be a hint."

Hataru says in Mhaldorian with an icy, old Hashani accent, "Its not as if I wear a helm."

You say in a multifarious voice, "And that firm, pronounced adams apple."

Hataru blinks.

Titonus blinks.

Your bug report (detail: Hi there, does willpower no longer return to 100% after dying from starburst? Mine was still at 44% on burst. Thank you) - has been assigned to design category.

Hmm, didn't think it was a design matter, but thank you?

Antonius

Did starburst ever restore endurance and willpower to full? At the very least it hasn't done since I started playing again, and that was about 10 months ago.

Wysteria

In all honesty I can't even recall anymore. If it can clear out your defs like a regular death, then I figured it would make sense to have it restore the willpower too. I'm not sure about endurance though, as I don't really diminish that stat.

Blujixapug

If starburst refreshed your endurance and willpower, people would just kill themselves all the time so they could starburst and start bashing again after they ran out.

Don't some people do that already inside their city?

You'd lose the xp if you kept killing yourself for that purpose, so wouldn't that make the re-bashing thing redundant then?

Antonius

Unless you're Mark, you don't lose experience when you die within your own city, so it's essentially a free endurance/willpower reset for most people if they're willing to do it already. With a starburst, personally the loss of experience dying to another adventurer is less than I'd be able to earn back in the time it takes to regenerate endurance and willpower after a prolonged hunting session, so even with some level of cost involved I'd still end up ahead.

I'd be OK with starburst filling endurance and willpower. Nowadays it just seems to be a relic from a time when dying for free wasn't an option.

Nemutaur

Yeah people ask to get killed in their city during greathunts since it's faster to pray than it is to regen wp/endurance. I don't think starburst should give you full wp and endurance though, it'd be too easy for monks for example to just return to the next skirmish with full willpower. Telepathy does need the wp limiting factor.

Wysteria

Ah right, I guess it varies for different people. When I burst due to a raid or just hunting, that's a good two hours of bashing xp I lost there. When you have a dial-up connection and only so few hours to play, that's pretty much a week's effort really. That was why I wondered why people would want to risk the constant xp loss for the wp/end.

Then again, I'm a soldier so getting killed in the city walls could be an option, but I find that rather awkward merely because of its (now apparent) convenience. Meditating and sleeping might be faster than embracing, if you can borrow a circlet of the Will?

Quotes! Back in old Shallam when I was looking for some clothes and chainmail (was running around in Viridian so noone could tell I didn't have clothes); felt a bit awkward afterwards:

A well-lit atrium.
A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A crisp, folded menu rests on a nearby table. Nirah, the hostess waits here, looking chic and friendly. Lying flat on the ground is a key-shaped sigil.
You see exits leading north, east (closed door), and south.
Nirah, the hostess says, "Ooh, you're looking rather slender, Wysteria. You need some pastyl, I can tell."
Nirah, the hostess winks knowingly.
You cough softly.

I have good form.

So umm Lukan. What did you search on google images..and was it worth it?

Unless, uh, you know, the picture was already saved on your computer.

Lukan

I took the facebook version of that picture, found the base, and redid the text to make it Achaea forum specific.

For some reason, I feel driven to point out that Memorable Quotes should be for exactly what it says on the tin: funny, impressive, or thought-provoking quotes from in-game. Please, please, please do not try to use the thread as a weapon. I promise, you just look silly when you do. If you feel driven to post something here solely to make someone look bad, I suggest about five minutes of fresh air and perhaps some warm cookies.

Berenene

Like for warm cookies are always good and for the TVTropes reference.

Kresslack

Well, it was a quote, and based on the responses seems quite a few people found it to be a funny one indeed.

22:30:35 Dolaron, the Cygnusine Mystic says, "Dibbuk is the angel of madness. One must not take him too seriously... but on the other hand you would be wise to heed what he has to say."

22:30:40 Dolaron, the Cygnusine Mystic coughs softly.

This amused me far too much. I suppose it's harder to turn off scripting for denizens. XD

Evil Xeno says:

Pst. Hey, doofus. Yeah, you Xenomorph. Babel just posted, why don't you stick it to the man and say something crass? 

Good Xeno says:

Don't do it, jackass! You really wanna get typhus in the prison ward again? Don't do it!

Bllaaaaarrrgh!!

Babel

Trust me when I say that, in Achaea, there's worse than typhus in jail. Remember, that's where the Siren sex alts go.

The CIJ performance at the Festival of Dreams in an HTML5 client log. I started to get the cooking contest after, but worried my browser was going to lock up trying to actually process the log (it didn't even hiccup when I saved it, which is nice). I didn't start the log early enough to catch the absolute start, and forgot to turn off various channels, but live and learn. Being able to watch it 'live' is still pretty damned cool.

Kyrra

Aww, cut off right before the end of the culinary contest Couldn't attend because I'm at work.

Nim

I found a bug in the HTML5 logger thing, and spent way too long looking at the javascript code figuring out why it's doing what it's doing and how to fix it.

When you toggle timestamps during playback, it kind of forgets that they were toggled, and new lines are missing time stamps. This is because the toggle timestamps function only affects timestamps currently in the HTML document, and because playback literally removes and re-adds HTML elements to the document, without checking to see if timestamps have been turned on or not.

It's pretty easily solved just by checking to see if timestamps are on (although the current method of seeing if timestamps are on or not is kind of sketchy, since it relies on there being a timestamp element in the document to begin with, which means that it won't be preserved if you rewind playback all the way to the start)

also, for some reason, a vestigal div tag gets added to each log block, inside the actual div tag that contains the message. I think it's supposed to encapsulate the messages (I dunno why, though, since there's already a div tag that does this), but Firefox sort of doesn't see it that way, and just adds an empty div tag to the beginning, apparently.

(also I am judging whoever wrote this so hard for using an eval-style setTimeout call, to call an argument-less function, when the function itself could've just been passed in)

I was bored, ok
