Memorable quotes

Cahin

Entrance to the Monastery of the Black Lotus (indoors).

This darkened corridor is illuminated only from a series of glowing red stones set directly into the 

floor. Barely visible, a mural on the eastern wall depicts an Elder monk clutching his head while 

levitating a few cubits above the ground. In stark contrast to this peaceful scene, the western wall 

holds a series of murals illustrating the same monk practicing the forms of ancient masters. The air 

here is unbearably cold, carrying the wild scent of lotus blossoms in from the south. A runic totem 

is planted solidly in the ground. A beautiful metal plaque hangs on the western wall. A giant, 

obsidian scorpion stands restively, its two huge tails overhanging its head and its huge pincers 

flexing and clicking. Stretching its wings in an impressive display is an ebony pegasus, its dark 

coat absorbing the surrounding light. Standing still as a statue, a blood steed has fixed its fiery 

red eyes on some movement in the distance. Resting here with a haughty expression is a golden 

gryphon. Wings flaring, a pegasus tosses his regal head impatiently. There are 2 ruby hydras here. 

Miniature hands clasped patiently, a diminutive homunculus stands here, its features bearing an 

uncanny resemblance to Dragonknight. A chest is here. Blade Aspirant Valden Lichlord, Ward of Black 

Squadron is riding on a golden gryphon. He wields an ornate steel rapier in each hand. Blade 

Aspirant Teela, Sentry of Red Squadron is here, shrouded. She wields a darkbow in both hands. Blade 

Aspirant Khalaz, Ward of the Red Squadron is here, shrouded. He wields a Soulpiercer in each hand. 

Tyrannus Ruth Yuridja-Keyte, Sartai Navarch is here. Magister Dragonknight Lichlord is here. His 

face is partially concealed beneath a raised hood. He wields a Shield of Absorption in his right 

hand. The Black Dragon Arador's imposing form looms. Lady Katzchen Lichlord, Disciplinarian of the 

Maldaathi is here. She wields a Soulpiercer in each hand. The soul of Chapel roams the land, 

bodiless.

You see exits leading north (closed door), northeast, and northwest.

Sir Arador Aristata, Knight of Mhaldor says with a guttural, trollish accent, "Would anyone like some tea?"

Dragonknight

Eld doesn't like tea.

It'd be funnier if it wasn't someone who wanted to change sides who then decided to fuck his own side over first.

Nobody would have given a damn about Benedict Arnold if he had just walked over to the British and said "Hey dudes. I'm on your team now. Peace."

Jarrod

Arditi, I promise you'll make a relevant post one of these days, but today is not that day.

Sorry that our converts actually bring RP with them instead of "Oh, I just want to be on the winning side. Um, go Chaos."

Cahin

You have a complex.

Jarrod

Benedict Arnold was found out to be a traitor because in the real world there's physical communications, and American forces found these communications.

In Achaea someone decided he wanted to change sides so he let you into everywhere he had access to so you'd take him in.

Screwing over your own faction isn't new and inventive, and pretending that this makes him a better RPer than the people who've converted to our side (many of whom had visible conversions over RL weeks) just means you again, have no idea what you're talking about. It's ok though, this is pretty much expected for par for the course for Mhaldor given the past few weeks.

Let's not let @Illyose 's conversion over years via speaking to Mhaldorians and growing tired of Hashan get in the way of winning the forums, shall we?

edit: In before your agree/disagree ent @Kaitali.

Jarrod

Conversations with Mhaldorians.

I'm glad you proved my point. Both that you have no idea about conversions to our side, and that your previous post was useless.

Arador

Do not worry. I am sure Mhaldor will all praise the amazingly deep RP behind fucking someone over when it happens to us next time.

Pretty much bound to happen when you take in that sort of person.

@Bonko (PBUH) has pretty much exceeded all of my expectations, @Chapel's been a decent guy, all in all, I'm somewhat happy with our recent questionable converts.

It's already happened to us quite a few times.

I don't mind the role of betrayer, I think it could be done better... but it's still a thing. Might as well respect it for what it's worth, and in my case it means I won't like the person even as a Mhaldorian. Once a traitor, always a traitor in Aepas' eyes. That in itself is a form of RP, there is always RP to be had. There is always room for redemption, but that takes time and effort.

I see conversion as itself a large leap of faith and I respect that. I honestly fear the person who goes all out, assuming that they will think they deserve an elevated status in evil's eyes. And for the people who have done full on "betrayer" status, I've actually normally seen them go dormant.

I just hope that this is actually what he "wanted" to be known for, and didn't just do it as a second thought. Many hardships will be coming, and not just from your former allies, but new ones as well.

I personally prefer to do the do my best before leaving. For my previous two houses one was donate a tun before leaving and the other was milk 2000 vials for venoms before leaving

I'm still waiting for you to make Bonko HM of something. disgonbgud.gif

We have a better cat, all your arguments are invalid.

Shirszae

Oh, look, someone disagrees with something that happened ig... Well, now, thats novel.   :-<

Rangor

No one likes a @stabber.

Let us delete the Serpent class. Them filthy backstabbers, all of them!

Some betrayal can go over the top, and from what I've seen I think this might be one of those cases.  It was over the top (per the admins, based on what they did to recover it) when ... I forget her name, but some HL left the Crown Merchants and took their whole bank account with her.  Letting people in to an area to raid they ordinarily couldn't is cool and can be fun, but helping them clean out a house's whole stockroom is a little over the top: that causes lasting damage and the loss of realistically unrecoverable items.

Tesha

Why do these sorts of things always end up in quotes?

Basically every thread is a rant thread now it seems

Shirszae

Because people whine and gloat and somehow need to discuss things with every idiot that disagrees. I don't really get it either. 

Hasar

Because Mhaldor griefs simultaneously on many mediums. Teehee.

(Don't hurt me I wasn't at this raid.)

Tesha

Well. Looks like Cahin is the donkey in quotes, and Ruth is the donkey in raves. Go to rants, people!

Mishgul

I hate you @Hasar

I replied to this in a different thread (read: raves). Someone had to take it there.

Ruth said:

It was me. I said yes to him allowing us into BL estate. The estate stockroom was the BL's own fault for not having an eye sigil. Illyose couldn't even open the door. If he withdrew gold from the BL as HoN, then I didn't know about that.

Mannimar

I hate betrayals, i do , but I think this one would have been easier to swallow if there was a shout, a wretched insult on ct, or if he actually participated in the raid by attacking rather than just standing there making everyone think he's afk, and being used.

I get it. He rped his betrayal on your end, but he sure as hell sat around silent on our end, and didn't have the courtesy to do it while his HL was on... Instead everyone waited Until Eld was gone and there was no one capable defending. this kind of betrayal needs an audience, and you took the smallest one possible.

Tesha

Get this nonsense out of quotes, and raves.
