Got unenemied to a city (thanks, @Tharvis), learned about bloodwood and a different meaning of the word mother, was accused by @Kandra of fibbing, sipped rum, kept @Tearstorm alive from @Aelyn's wrath, searched my memories for a fun fact about me for a house game that @Ellowyne is organising. Am still searching for a good one that I can share (no, not that one, @Verrucht!). PM me if you think of one!
Getting back to the grind after some time off from Achaea. (Well a substantially reduced amount of playtime, wasn't entirely away).
1. Launched a new Targossian Academy change I'v been working on for awhile that handles how a novice's final step in the Academy is handled. Should help to lessen the amount of waiting on other players a novice has to do, and allow them to progress to their House work faster.
2. Got back to bashing for the first time in a few days. @Tibitha the machine is back in business. But don't honors Razzlo for the first time like I did today, or you might take away that nickname.
3. Realized that even though I can't code for Sh*t, I'm pretty damn proud with how the Academy is shaping up as well as everything else I'v been accomplishing on Zuko. Next stop getting those graduation rates up and the faculty in line.
Lost my first mine today to an attack, lost a decent bit of stone and soldiers I'd been training, which was a bit disappointing, but easy come easy go. Ended up with more coal than I knew what to do with, but luckily some citymates came through and helped out with storage issues.
Then proceeded to insert foot into mouth and accidentally make an inappropriate joke because I haven't had enough sleep while studying for finals for summer courses.
Played unCyrenian Families as the murderer...and won. It was a lot of fun even if I did have trouble getting over my guilt at pretend-killing my awesome citymates. First time I've played as the murderer.
Oh! And I got most of my fashion show outfit for the crafter's fair back from the guild Just one piece left to go, and two new pieces for the carts, and I'll be all set.
Uni classes started again today and it was just fabulous. My schedule for the next twelve months is super organised (compared to the last twelve months where they kept changing things up), and I'm so excited about some of the stuff that I'll get to be doing.
Waking up to supportive messages from friends just made the day all the more better, and I came home to family friends visiting, with their dog Anzac who is the brother to my furry boy child Dusty. The similarities and differences between those two dogs is amazing, however, they both definitely have the same sulky expression when they don't get attention from you though!
I'm so looking forward to the next few months. Life right now is so great and it's just going to get even better.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
Joined the Somatikos today. First impression: Zia's theme (Build that wall) is the new house theme song. (Excited to see where we will go from here, but wall metaphors are starting to induce violent urges)
still a new house @Asani! We'll probably end up tweaking.. -almost- everything
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."
Well not quite today, was too tired to post but yesterday I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis! A culmination of over 8 years of work, just was out late celebrating heh. Just some revisions to the manuscript and I'll have my doctorate.

learned people would rather their own PK practices be protected than even attempt to understand how rules that serve to justify ruining other peoples time might be badly enforced or just badly written.

Assuming this is in regards to @Dajio in which case, if he has no RP justification to attack (and he has done so repeatedly, from the information I've got) you simply issue him. He is one of the people that constantly are killing people without any real justification, and I'm sure it wouldn't be his first issue of this kind.

i am loathe to continue talking about this. But my problem isn't that i was killed. I have read the rules and I am sick and tired of people coming to me and telling me that Dajio is within the rules. Please stop whatever it is you people think you are trying to accomplish by talking to me about it. Basically if what you have to say is about the rules and how Dajio is a dick that plays by the rules, straight up fuck off.
He is not within the rules by attacking you. Regardless of it you die.
You are not wrong by being upset about the situation, and would not be wrong in Issuing him.
well sorry to snap at you then, but its been your close nit group that has been giving me this bullshit. I understand the goddamn rules. my problem is with how the rule is enforced. I logged in today hoping to be done with it, only to learn that my issue had been ignored, I assume because I was very upset and fragile when I wrote the issue and that made his measured reply with bullshit IC justifications the winner. Only to be berated by praxides over and over again because I am upset and he is "within the rules".

I didn't berate you, I said your issue was probably removed because you attacked him, which voids issues, and mentioned it insanely on market and CT several times, which also voids it. I agreed that he was skirting issues by claiming IC justification and gave you an example of one he could have used, just mentioned that you probably were overly worked up over it and therefore were making your issue void or weaker by constantly yelling about it in-game.

I don't speak for others, and they don't speak for me.
Please read my comments before assuming what I am saying, in the future.
I understand being angry about something, and wanting to vent, and I've told you plenty of times IG and OOC I would be there for you if you needed that.

Technically not even supposed to discuss issues, fyi. Anyways, don't think this is the thread to start getting into arguments and using expletives against each other.
On another note, today has been a pretty blah day in Achaea for me. Hard to be productive when the weather is crazy hot.

yeah I'm sorry about that. Ive been hearing ISSUE HIM for three days now. I did. Of course I did that. I'm getting tired of the inane opinions people have about my perception of what happened. it is extremely offensive to just cite the rules at someone when they have a complaint. I will re-ally you Atalkez, sorry for judging you based on your friends.
In times of writing issues, you need rules lawyers. Even though we don't have the same complex PK rules of before. You'll find enough people who don't like him enough to help you write a coherent and effective complaint that usually works better than the impassioned "OMG OMG HE'S BEING A DOUCHE" issues that usually get thrown out.

Made me a happy camper.
EDIT: PS: Some let me explore the Mhaldorian arena so maybe my explorer rankings can match too one day :pleased:
Oh! And I got most of my fashion show outfit for the crafter's fair back from the guild Just one piece left to go, and two new pieces for the carts, and I'll be all set.
To think I almost considered going Runie for the bashing. Keep up the good work Razzlo!

Well, I'm a little late but I finally got house rank five (again!). Yaaay.
Thank you @Ellodin and @Alrena. :hurrah:
I also did some things, did some hunting, made some oopsies, and died to @Aelios and @Tiamat. Was a very productive day. :chuffed:
