I admit that there isn't much there there if you don't agree with his basic conception of fairness or believe that fairness is important. But for those of us looking to advance ethical public policy, his work is a more than just a nice place to visit: it's home.
This is how I see @Jacen ... and @Bronislav ... and all the other black dragons...
Speaking of How to Train Your Dragon, I just caught the sequel on Netflix and there was a scene where I thought of @Verrucht because there was this big dragon sitting there all pissed off because all these babies were playing on him. Totally Cyrene...and here is the image..
Made progress in my journey to redemption! Had a conservation with @Tristyn . Charming and intelligent! Really impressed me with your wisdom beyond age.
Made lots of progress on making reflexes for Paladin. Special thanks to @Kenway for the limb counter and teaching me a basic kill prep. Been sort of lost and keep forgetting I need a sword to fight. Ha! Not even close to finished though. Only written 75 percent of the reflexes for weapon mastery. Made it so I could choose the venom I use manually as well as decide if I am rending or slicing.(though I was told slicing is better, this is just in case I find a reason to use it) Need to figure out how to make this limb counter make sense, out figure or how to modify my monk limb counter to for sword and board knight. (That sounds like a pipe dream though. Don't have the skills to, but I can try.) So much learning! So much to do! @_@; I haven't really even started on chivalry or devotion reflexes. And! Still waiting on my Paladin svo.
Got totally shocked when I heard @Aodfionn was defending me against some nay sayers. (Thank you!)
Finished reading all the Diaspora scrolls and prepped for the trial of worth. Corrected outdated scrolls by spamming Aodfionn with messages.
*flop* even though it looked like I wasn't doing anything...Ha! I got a ton done!
Edit: and if this true disfavor world wear off,I could actually properly test things. Gotta wait for that

Cousin, I will always defend you against the Nay sayers. And when/if you rejoin targ hit me up and i'll go over the basics of Damnation and why it's better 99.99999% of the time to just disembowel.
Also Rend is useless for everything I can think of even if it takes more hits to break, slice being faster let's you stack venoms to hinder your opponent while preping and you can easily go for focus locks while preping limbs. (And get them alot too)
@Caladbolg I also get the feeling that carefully envenoming ahead of time is better than doing it individually each time if I am looking to be really irritating. Honestly I simply cannot keep track of which venom I want to use next while prepping for a break. I'm too busy counting to think about which venom to use next. While yes I did set it up similarly to the way I did blademaster, venom and striking work a bit differently and to manually put in an alias for each venom for each hit is a little bit of lunacy. I suppose it's good if I didn't prepare anything and someone jumps me, but envenoming doesn't seem to take balance. So maybe I wan't to think of making up aliases for specific strategies. Been trying to figure out how to make this work and make sense in my head since this class is different than the ones I have played.

Envenoming ahead of time is a no go as far as im concerned. When someone fitnesses, what that herb cured, passive curing, tree is all far to random in this game for just a static venom setup. need to be able to switch it up completely the second you go to hit.

Finished a path for the Heartwood Kin with a recital of a poem dedicated to the avifauna of Achaea. Lots of the Heartwood in attendance and I was lucky enough to be given a strongfavour by @Artemis. I would say it was a great day!
You'd better have made a record of that poem, @Masaryk! I'd like to read it.
- (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place." - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely." - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")." - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish." - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
Had very long talks with @Tristyn (yay Diaspora mentor! ) and a newbie named Aminah and may have put her on the to Targossas. Hunted with my disfavor and nearly died. Bought a level 2 artie longsword!(yay the speed and damage!) Sparred with @Loalaine and realized I couldn't kill anyone because I don't have disembowel because disfavor. *grumble* plus she killed me.:P But I did learn more. More reflexes. Got killed by @Santar. (jerk) Probably got another devotionist in trouble indirectly. >.>;
@Caoimhaen Rend does higher limb damage, roughly 1.6 slices, so it's good for sneaking single hits past parry, especially on torso. Some opponents count Rends as the same as slices, so they won't apply to torso when they should. Just make sure you can keep an accurate count, yourself. Sticking illness via slice is the best torso parry bypass option if you can keep it stuck, but if not, Shieldstrike Low;Rend torso or break leg, Rend torso will prep the torso in fewer hits than slice. (Since you only get one slice in both of those situations, anyway)
You can envenom off balance, so you can do all the envenoming you want between attacks. Bulk envenoming your sword ahead of time is good for fighting in Retardation. (Since in-line envenom doesn't work in Ret) It's also good when you're fighting someone who manages to stick stupidity, since trying to apply venoms while stupid runs definite risks of screwing up your venoms. (Thus bulk applies allow you to envenom several attacks while you're not stupid) It's also fine for static setups that have to be executed a certain way. (Thus not needing to be "flexible") It's also fine for long prep sequences where you're just working up limb damage, and the venoms are a secondary concern. So don't be afraid to envenom in bulk, just have some other keys/aliases for single applies of important venoms, so that you have that flexibility when you need it.
You don't need an affliction tracker to compete. They're good, but they're complicated and often unnecessary. Just highlight it when your opponent eats important cures like bloodroot, kelp, and ginseng. If you give an opponent paralysis/asthma, and they eat bloodroot, you don't need a fancy affliction tracker to tell you that they have asthma. It's common sense.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
@Aerek thanks a ton for this. Will have to reread this when I am writing more reflexes and doing tests. plus I will be at my full potential tomorrow. I should poke you in game to practice with. Need practice so badly and lately since i am enemied everywhere but Cyrene, hard to find someone to let me hit them and run tests. I will try the tracker. I honestly need a better limb counter. I am used to knowing EXACTLY when a limb will break. The one I have doesn't count them as I go, it just says... 11 Hits until break. I am struggling with rebounding and getting past parry.

Svo's got a pretty good rebounding tracker for cheap. and the Svo limb counter is also pretty good. off 1 hit or so at times but nothing major from what i've seen. (Be careful with alchemists though since they get con boosts randomly break points change alot)
For me mostly though, I've been penning a few letters, mostly to an absentee Housemate, finally finished the Crucible and wrote up a bunch of notes about that, talking with many younger citizens or non-citizens to direct them as needed, talking to enemies (well... arguing more than anything!), enjoyed a couple days of just not doing anything too intense while I sort out House tasks... and then got given a new position in the city!
So now nervous as all get out again. But I'm also really excited. I think I'll have fun with it.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
huh, googled that program a bit, seems like a pretty dodgy piece of software
Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!" Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh." Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
Did you log in from a mobile device and spell your password wrong on accident? Because that causes this for the next time you log onto mudlet, just as a heads up.
that's the IP of Shodan's mainframe location though, the program seems to be a combination of scanning a network for devices linked to said network and seems to also specialise in anti-intrusion, but at the same time at intrusion. I am not sure what to think of it that the connection attempt to Aliath came from their exact company IP

Do not DM on forums unless you're ok with waiting a couple months!
Spoke to a few friends and family, @Kei , @Shirszae, and the Nithilar fam in general just to name a few (hiiii @Crixos).
Hunted with @Vivessa, who's pretty awesome! Some newbies are just the coolest, you go gurl.
Spoke with @Herose and @Taraza on House and other things not meant for forum ears.
All in all, a productive day. Thanks to all who helped me catch up on the things going on IG, sincerely appreciate it.
Made lots of progress on making reflexes for Paladin. Special thanks to @Kenway for the limb counter and teaching me a basic kill prep. Been sort of lost and keep forgetting I need a sword to fight. Ha! Not even close to finished though. Only written 75 percent of the reflexes for weapon mastery. Made it so I could choose the venom I use manually as well as decide if I am rending or slicing.(though I was told slicing is better, this is just in case I find a reason to use it) Need to figure out how to make this limb counter make sense, out figure or how to modify my monk limb counter to for sword and board knight. (That sounds like a pipe dream though. Don't have the skills to, but I can try.) So much learning! So much to do! @_@; I haven't really even started on chivalry or devotion reflexes. And! Still waiting on my Paladin svo.
