I spent about 3 hours today trying to get a newbie to join Mhaldor completely IC... and finally succeeded! I just hope he'll like it in the city of Evil and stick around. My char is happy since she's finally done something she's always wanted to do after being inducted in the same manner by Ruth. Taraus also introduced Kitiara and I to the function of the Mhaldorian theatre today - it's pretty cool, with so much potential for creativity! Planning to make much use of it in the future, fingers crossed!
I must say I really am tickled by how well done (and non-preachy) a couple of the Mhaldorian recruitment attempts towards my character has been. (Yes, even the one where I was robbed by knife point!)
@Jeslyn : it's only a genteel robbery at knife point if they ask you with a British accent whether you want two cubes of sugar in your tea or three while doffing their top hat and adjusting their monocle.
Today I cancelled a one-way wormhole that doesn't show up on wormhole vision and is thus invisible.
Weird.
(And the only thing worse than the boredom of cancelling a wormhole, I have found, is the poetry @Marv writes.)

Counting back on the messages I've sent back and forth to various captains during the course of this sargassum event.. Wow! I must have sent over 200 messages just discussing about ship-related things.
"Mummy, I'm hungry, but there's no one to eat! :C"

I sent you a few tells over the last days, but you weren't there!

That's because you're a dirty drunk pirate always hiding in your corner!
That being said, it's mostly between the few Mhaldorians and occasional heathen sailor whose interest in helping upon the seas drew them to me.

Today I sailed the TLS Defiance. I moved it into another port. I docked. I sat on it for a while, browsing youtube while nervously keeping an eye on the hull. I then went to bed.
I did not sink the bloody ship for no ungodly reason, you thrice-damned cockroach of a ship bug. Take that.
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
XD that will teach me to not decide to grab a snack once I get to where I plan to hunt. First time I ever got caught in there and I am finding it hilarious. That damn snickers bar killed me.
Had a spark of inspiration today and held a gathering of slaves, where we shared a leisurely meal (mmm brains, tongues and lycopod salad!) at Worm and Grub and introduced ourselves. Zarla had a blast, and after successfully recruiting two new people into Mhaldor recently (and they both attended!), she's feeling very much satisfied. She now even has a young food rival, who (foolishly?!) challenged her to an eating competition.
Thanks to all for the fun!
Edit: just realised most of them don't have forum accounts yet But they know who they are if they ever see this...
@Kisharo tried to lead a raid on Targossas today. I had a lovely stint sitting upon the island nation to admire the scenery. We probably overstayed our welcome, but I hope no one got truly mad about it. Probably could have won the fight ezpz if you had rushed.
I commend Kisharo's willingness to try his hand at it, knowing that it would be difficult. I'm also mildly surprised that even the 'seasoned raiders' amongst us tried to be patient as we guided him through pointers on the party and through tells. In the end, I just could not take it anymore and had to close the curtains on his attempt.
On a related note, I must say that it's genuinely not that easy to train young combat enthusiasts in Mhaldor to lead a raid. I must have spent close to an hour sitting down and giving him pointers on raid leadership.
Then, I hung him at the gallows for his abysmal performance. It's a good day!

I was on my lunch, and to get out of there, but I enjoyed my brief time learning what it's like to run away from radiance.
Chiam tells you, "The guards need to be taught a lesson not to follow Mhaldorian women around."
You dryly tell Chiam, "I've heard of consistent skirt-chasing, but this is just ridiculous."
And then Hasar grumbled at me for making them mad. What is this life?!

I got sick of the trolling and abuse in a game (which has worn me own over years and years and is starting to affect my mental health) and come back to Achaea where the trolls are diffused by the bigger population and you don't can avoid it all a lot more easily
Drawing from the well of your puissance, you invoke a dramatic chant in the dragon tongue. Your voice resonates with each word, culminating in a wave of magical energy that you bend to your will and thrust towards an accursed skeleton, bombarding him with the ancient power. You have scored a CRITICAL hit! You have slain an accursed skeleton, retrieving the corpse. Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 100. You have reached the illustrious level of The Dragon Lord. You have received 25 Bound Credits! A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Double XP for the win!
Then got called out for being a rude person because we jumped 3 people in a open-PK area by the non-com. Like really, if you're a non-com don't whine to me about being killed in Annwyn. Or don't go down at all and it won't happen. Srsly.
the hardest thing in this game has to be true character-to-character RP... just your character existing as a real person and feeling and reacting and being TRUE to your character

@Maega and @Verruchtthank you for being so supportive and encouraging people to come.
EDIT nvm
Weird.

Do not DM on forums unless you're ok with waiting a couple months!
To the person I stole the mhun guard kill from: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!
Haha smooth reply. Such a casual "Yes, probably".
Played around with battlerage abilities while fighting undead invaders. Died s'more.
New bashing definitely looks interesting!

@Cynlael Nice name
Got trolled by this damn lion. SRS?!

Learned about that today, yesss
