  • There are some things I like about the new system,  but I had a contract a month or so back on... Tharvis I think?  Snuck into Hashan a couple times to try and fill it, with no luck, not realizing the system had changed.

    Fast forward a couple of weeks, I die to someone who it ended up he hired on me, thinking I was attacking him for no reason.  When I died to his Mark, it not only completed his contract, but at the same time negated the one I had open on him.   Not sure if that's an intended risk/reward of this new system or not, but it was an unexpected turn of events.  I'll have to think of something witty to say next time I sneak up behind Tharvis to let him know I'm not just being a PITA. :smile:

    When a group of 20 Mhaldorians come in and it doubles the amount of Army members we have on, it's not like people really stand a chance defending, so most of the time that's how it goes. For the most part they just raid until they get a room blown up and then leave. It's just kind of a "thinking of you" card.
    Well put, I like that.  I'm going to get some post cards made up that we can drop during raids... a picture of the Fortress on one side with "Greetings From Mhaldor, Wish You Were Here!" written in pink flowing script down in the corner.  

    We're don't want to be mean, we're just looking for new friends, but we're a bit awkward, and trying to fit in.

    @Kresslack those screens are a holdover from the old mark system.You don't know whether or not there's an active contract on you nowadays.
    Well that spices things up a bit I suppose....

    Let me preface by saying I'm new, so this might seem rather flippant. But is it common for everyone to just... evacuate a city during a raid?
    Today Mhaldor raided Cyrene. Our army went in and died to the invaders a few times, Mhaldorians killed stuff, broke stuff, and I guess got bored and left.

    Is this working as intended? It was really strange.
    Also, yes, it is, assuming you mean Cyrene's reaction. It'd be great if citizens didn't need to leave their city, if there were tiers of defenses or something, and defenders could defend outer walls or something instead of basically defending random places in the city, but that's just not the case.

    Cyrene's the city of roleplayers and noncombatants. Some of us like combat to varying extents, and for some of us, that goes as far as the occasional raid defense, but a lot of us don't, and trying to force them into it would be counterproductive to Cyrene's very reason for existing, both ICly and OOCly speaking.

    As far as the whole getting raided thing... supposedly there were divine orders involved. I'm personally a bit skeptical of any orders resulting in heavily outnumbered raids, but again, ideally everyone who's defending in Cyrene likes it to some degree or another, so it's not a huge deal.

    I just wish I represented the true spirit of mischief by yelling back more, personally, but I'm still sort of sick so I didn't have much cleverness going on at the moment.
  • The silver lining to spending half my time meditating is that achaea keeps getting more aesthetically pleasing.

    The new look on my inventory:

    (Just typing i)
    [Holding]: Wielded Corpses Reads Sigils Cures Riftables Weapons Clothes Containers Wearables Misc 
    [Wearing]: Worn Containers Misc 
    You have 1117 gold.

    (Typing i with one of those categories)
    [Holding]: Wielded Corpses Reads Sigils Cures Riftables Weapons Clothes Containers Wearables Misc 
    [Wearing]: Worn Containers Misc 
    [Riftables]: A group of 5 sticks of sugarcane and a group of 18 echinacea roots.    
    You have 1117 gold.

    Overlap (like with containers) shows both held and worn. :smiley:

    I been killed by @Ethoas because someone killed his married friends.

    I also did not whine about it in the forums rants section.

    Nor made any sarcastic comment here (despite the great urge to do so).
    And yet...you still find the time to cry about other people crying.

    If you have something to say, do it in a PM, princess. 

    Edit: That was pretty sarcastic, by the way. If you need a good online dictionary to define the term, lemme know.

    Wow, there needs to be an honours line for winning a 0% odds.

    Srsly. You can't even round it up to HALF of a percent.
  • Yesterday, Mhaldor decides to raid when I'm in the middle of eating a burger at Red Robin.

    Today, I hop in-realms as soon as some of them try raiding again.

    With a victorious exclamation, you succeed in disrupting the delicate balance of energy sustaining a glowing metal tank radiating waves of heat, causing it to crumple harmlessly in upon itself. As the elating experience of victory washes over you, you feel your understanding of the world improve.





  • I spent the ~350k I bashed and quested up for 56 credits.

    Fat, sagging sack of gold, I hardly knew ye, yet I shall miss you dearly.

  • Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 95.

    Really love every 5th level. I guess that stops now, though.

    Don't be jelly.
  • @bluef Yes, I love getting favours for crying. I should do it all the time. I want to have a raisin face too. Bring on the dehydration.

    I didn't cry IC, so I'm reasonably sure Sartan didn't favour me for that. My understanding was that Bluef chose to suffer rather than help you guys kill her husband. Likewise, she had to suffer through Aegoth's unwarranted double kill as well (Kaie wasn't even online when he killed her). Anyhoo, the favour for me made up for all that crap. It was a nice RP-able ending to things anyway. I hope you guys get yours as well. 
  • @bluef yeah, we'll see.. I don't have much faith at this point though. At least someone got something out of the situation hah

    Finally got around to participating in one of the Emnia's submission events. I was rushed to leave to go to the store and just tossed a quick limerick into the contest, so I didn't look like I was dodging this one too. Ended up completely surprised when I won the contest!  <3  (Dat Dibbuk tho, mhmm)  ;)

    @Bluef
    Thanks for the pillow! I don't even know if you remember Shara talking about how bad she wanted one after she saw it in the cave outside of Hashan, and how she did RP with the selling denizen to bribe him to sell her one (and a ribbon). Lady Val has a great group of people supporting her. Can't wait to see the library come together too!
