What Happened To You Today?

Rom

I got Dragon 4 times today in honor of Hasar.

Ulrike

I bashed a lot and chatted even more and got wings on a whim.
Thanks for distracting me from dark thoughts, Achaea(ns).

Jukilian

Jumped onto Achaea through the website client when on lunch at work, where I have no aliases or anything set up apart from serverside aliases and curing...

Mithridates enters Hashan, doing who knows what. Yells he's there for peaceful reasons, and proceeds to try to summon me from the Crossroads. Dies to guards.

Then Ryuke and Mazzington appear at southern defendable, smudging the totem. I embed adduction and get Ryuke killed, and Mazzington gets away.

I hop on for half an hour and all this happens, without any combat stuff set up, haha. That was fun.

Tharvis

@Jukilian you really do seem to attract the raiders, don't you? :P

Talysin

Don't know where to put this, but I ran upon Judiel's blog which preserved some logs and stuff about Covenant: http://lostincr.wordpress.com/2006/08/

Kei

Caught up with this thread.

Sudden panic because someone asked me like three weeks ago to customise their full plate and I totally derped and never sent it to them and now anxiety panic thinking they quietly hate me for it.

Very slight mitigation that the past two days I wrote a limb counter (which someone likes ) and got some basic values on how to count limbs for myself that makes a lot more sense now.

Figured out secret things in Kei's personal story that had been bothering me. Now just need to be patient and wait for someone else to have time.

Had some fun RP teaching a pair of novices about Mhaldor while Targossas raided.

....still panic

Yay, the house I love, welcome to Cynders.

3 ) Carmain told You: Hrm.

4 ) Carmain told You: Yes.

5 ) Carmain told You: It's kind of difficult as a knight to survive a Blademaster.

6 ) Carmain told You: Generally you want to try and kill them before they can hurt you. Using Epteth and Epteth a lot.

7 ) You told Cynders: Do not go mindless at NoT.

8 ) Cynders told You: Wasn't mindless, was ripped. But thanks.

9 ) Cynders told You: Next time I see you rip I'll be sure to kill you too.

10) You told Cynders: I could care less about killing you or anyone else, Ward.
11) Cynders told You: I could care less about you.

12) You told Cynders: Of course not, as expected and equally sad.

13) Cynders told You: Why would I give half a damn about you?

14) You told Cynders: Becuase I outrank you in the house your are likely about to jump.

15) Cynders told You: Outrank? We're the same ranking, nice try. (I outrank her)

16) Cynders told You: And a slave no less.

17) You told Cynders: As I said, expected.

18) Cynders told You: Next time you try some fancy shit with me, I'll just cut you down.

19) You told Cynders: You could care less about the Maldaathi and our ways.

20) Cynders told You: I doubt you'd last 10 years before you fall to sleep.

21) You told Cynders: Any mercenary can kill anyone, you are no knight.

22) Cynders told You: Neither are you.

23) Cynders told You: Stop talking shit.

24) You told Cynders: You are a sad thing.

25) Cynders told You: As are you.

26) Cynders told You: It'll be interesting to see if you last to Knighthood.

27) Cynders told You: You seem to only bark.

28) Cynders told You: But I don't see the bite.

29) You told Cynders: Killing things seems to be the measure of which you judge knighthood.

30) Cynders told You: Of course not.

31) You told Cynders: You are mistaken, Ward.

32) Cynders told You: I just said that it's not the only measure.

33) Cynders told You: Try to listen, or you'll make a terrible knight.

34) You told Cynders: You not even show the respect to me in the house I was born into and earned.

35) Cynders told You: Oh, of course.

36) Cynders told You: Why would I show you respect if you show me none?

37) You told Cynders: That tells me you care nothing of this House.

38) Cynders told You: It tells me you have no respect for anyone.

39) You told Cynders: You are an imbecile.

40) Cynders told You: You are oblivious and show very troll-like symptoms.

41) Cynders told You: Maybe Cyrene would be better for you.

42) You told Cynders: You are also insane.

43) Cynders told You: I hear they take drop-outs.

44) Cynders told You: Am I now? How so?

45) You told Cynders: I hope you actually pay attention to ethos of the House you fained caring about to be an Infernal. So far you make me sick.

46) Cynders told You: As you do.

47) Cynders told You: Next time I see you mindless I'll be sure to keep killing you until you wake up.

48) You told Cynders: Thank you for embodying your idiocy.

Iuneos

So you killed someone AFK and tried to play it off as RP?

Do not give even a slight shit about killing anyone, at all. I realize ego is huge part of people's lives, but just the pure disrespect of the very interaction was awesome as far as RP goes.

Nim

shut up slaves and get back to work, your gonna make @carmain look bad!

Saeva

Yeah... a slave demanding respect from another slave is kind of lol. If you killed me OUTSIDE OF THE CITY at NoT for being "mindless" I'd have been pretty annoyed with you as well. Know your own boundaries before you force them on to someone else.

Drodak

Well she won..goodbye Mhaldor. I loved Mhaldor from the depths of my Heart, It doesnt matter about loyalty it matters about being a part of the clique. Im really sad I wanted to Mhaldorian through and through

Someone sent me this in an unmarked letter:

hourglassxxxxxx     an unusual hourglass

Finely polished oak caps form the top and base of the hourglass, which stands about one foot tall. The glass emits a blue tint, and appears to be double layered and filled with water. At great contrast to the glass is the flame-coloured red sand confined within it. Sporadic winds ebb and flow in the hourglass, giving rise to small dunes within the miniature desert.

It has 92 months of usefulness left.

It weighs about 2 pounds and 0 ounce(s).

You turn the hourglass upside down, temporarily halting the flow of the flame-red sand within.

Your heartbeat increases dramatically, as if in a state of panic. The sand within the hourglass begins to fall at an incredible rate, as if all the grains were made of lead. Soon the abnormal effects cease, but still leave you feeling a bit stiff in your joints.

I am almost certain this is the ruby sand bazaar hourglass that had a mini-event for it almost 2 years ago. I'm so confused by this because I don't remember the hourglass having this long a decay time (it was like 30 months or something) when bought normally and the fact that they're that old at this point suggests someone was keeping it.

I'm so baffled right now.

Pretty sure those were orbs or globes, and when turned it'd have a heart or an image of the person who bought it. The hourglasses were re-released in some promo (bags maybe?) a while back, and you'll sometimes see them for sale in shops.

You'd leave Mhaldor ICly for a disagreement about how something was handled on the forums? Oh boy.

I'd like to clarify for myself... you both handled that like 5 year olds. You both have some issues you need to fix with your attitudes. Doesn't have anything to do with either of you "winning" that arguement. Posting a log like that hoping for validation for your own actions wasn't necessarily the right choice of action either.

This.

Siduri

Wait, I always thought Mhaldorus was an NPC.

Saeva

Holy shit, @Drodak, you need to reel that in. I hope that a forum moderator will delete that kind of statement..

Halios

@Drodak, As someone who is a pretty stark advocate of punishing idleness,... we only do that in the city, and you don't take it into your own hands.

You report it to someone who has the authority to do something about it.

For all your critique of her 'roleplay' not fitting the Maldaathi, it's a pretty far cry from Maldaathi RP to randomly take matters into your own hands, let alone as a Slave.

--edit:

Furthermore, I've addressed idleness with @Cynders previously, gave her a pretty stern dressing down about it, which she can vouch for. I believe the words 'the next time you do it I'll make sure you get executed for it' were used.

I'm not going to say it's impossible, but given that every time since she's had to idle she's used my ship as I instructed her, or has journal'd/letter'd/qq'd, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Kerria

Woooaah. Not cool man.

Nakari

heck, the last time I went seriously AFK in the city, Jurixe just forced me to journal and sent me a stern message. Mhaldorian RP might always skirt being dicks to people, but that doesn't actually mean you should be a dick. (especially as a freaking slave)

Siduri

I don't care if your House or your City have rules. When you know someone's AFK, it's bad form to abuse it.

Drodak

You all won, Cynders should bow down as the champion of the game and the rest of you should just bow. Mhaldor makes me sick and I am sorry to have invested time it takes to be a moron. Haters, thanks!3

If someone is idle in the city and we get raided, and they are used as a point to prism to (hello old subdivision raids of yesteryear @Proficy @Xenomorph ) you bet your ass they are gonna get chewed out/executed IC. Hence why idleness in general is frowned upon.

Now, it's more appropriate to do it when they're around, and no longer idle, but regardless, it's not 'abuse' to punish it, regardless of the temporal nature of said punishment.

wtf is wrong with you?

Well, there's a difference between consequences for posing a security risk and just taking cheaply advantage of the situation. Here, she was at NoNT apparently.
Also, I would have considered it bad form to abuse said person's AFK moment to infiltrate the city, too. Really goes both ways, and to me it's part of not being a dick to the player who could have had something urgent to attend to. Adding to that aggravation is crappy, at best.

Well yea, the NoT thing is supremely suspect.

However, at a certain point, restraint isn't paramount. The split between OOC/IC idle isn't too big. Daydreaming isn't a valid excuse for standing around in a city like Mhaldor unable to defend yourself.

It's something every novice learns. House Hall protocol. Subdivision security. etc.

Drodak

awesome, you seriously dont realize how long some people have waited to hate on me
