Please don't mess this thread up with complaints. I thought it was about everyday things that happen, and the complaints have their own threads.
Bad things happen everyday, friend.
Today I decided that I wasn't going to log in. Dosen't seem like any reason to do so. Nothing good is allowed to happen. If it does, someone shits all over it. Creeps follow me, perverts make passes at me, and the people I need to talk aren't online anyway. Thanks internet, bad things happen all the time.
Sounds like you need to make a fat description, @Drenall
today i logged in on tablet, deftfully avoiding death by a rampaging @Vaehl spamming eliminate and epteth on my crippled personage
Tell them to stop, if they don't issue or get the attention of the Admin.
More like me avoiding the temptation of pking you because I'd get DF'd so hard
I am a male Rajamala, I didn't think pervs would be a problem. No big deal, haven't seen them since. Creepy dude was just a brick short of a load. I wasn't certain if he was going to kill me or give me a blessing.
Logged in anyway, just a bit to get past last of newbie stage. Learned how to swing up into trees. Learn how to fall out of trees, breaking both legs, and cannot move anywhere. Learned I REALLY needed to buy curatives. Realized I have no house members are online, and no one from the clans either. Being city-less has a few down sides.
Today was just a very bad day.
Remember kiddies, always buy one of every curative, even if you think you will never need it!
So I made a little novice so I could see what these novice tasks are like and I got to make a terrible joke:
Creepy novice FTWLogged into the Portal and was going to go the the library to read scrolls. Creepy dude follows me. I told him I was not doing any thing interesting, but he said he was going to protect me. Took a wrong turn, and ended up New Thera. Creepy dud tells me to take him to Tsuar'ke so he can commune with his deity. Speaks with "a Celestial tone" and carries a Divine mace, so I'm thinking he may be a somebody really important. Take him to a temple outside of Tsuar'ke and he promptly attacks a moth. He dies. I asked him in a tell what was going on. He said he had to die.
Dying is easy enough in this game, you don't need to follow random people to get killed.
If the dude is really bothering you, ignore him and then issue if he keeps it up. Life is way to short to spend dealing with creepy newbies who won't leave you alone.
I had the unfortunate responsibility of trying to make a novice understand that if they learned how to control their projectile vomiting they'd likely have a better time.
He didn't learn.
I know who you're talking about and I think his behaviour has been bothering a number of people. If he is STILL bothering you after this, even without getting to the point where you want to ISSUE him, please feel free to find someone in Cyrene to mention it to (including me if I'm available). You don't need to just tolerate it.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
Yes, he is who you think he is. No, that was the only time I encountered him. I've seen him a couple times since, but I avoid him completely. Just wanted to post the whole story. Too bad he wasn't a jester, it would be a good litle prank.
Wrote my first rondelet, another limerick, and got the scaffolding in place for a sonnet. The struggle continues!
Edit: And bought a set of artifact vials so I can start participating in THE GREAT WAR.
Got rekt by Xinna again in Annwyn. Managed to get a draw twice before I got sloppy. Also had a delightful conversation about bard mechanics.
Tested some stuff with big Mic and contemplated buying artifact vials for when I go dormant.
Log in ganked at Crossroads, Targ locks the city down and entrenches, then adds more people to the fray. Typical stuff.
ETA Then chases us outside the city. So over Targ.
Did some reading for my house reqs, a few spars, wrote some letters then left to take a nap.
Woke up from said nap to some excitement.

A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. An icewall is here, blocking passage to the south. A
small forest of sharpened crystals protrudes from the ground. Wings flaring, a pegasus tosses his regal head impatiently. A lion impassively lounges here.

What happened to citizens getting graced login during sanctioned raids? Surprised it didn't kick in.
Sorry, that sucks.
You mean when you jumped me while I was smudging a totem?
Don't think it's valid to complain about fights you start.
Of course im not saying it was bad you defended the totem while I was smudging it but..
Unless your talking about where you eventually killed my by running me into a 2v1.. cause I could've called for backup long before that, I was just giving you a fair fight.
Bolded related here, I think. Still sucks.
Whatever happened to common courtesy, in any case? Person just logged in, give them some chance to leave instead of killing them when they're in the middle of basic deffing.
Big, important, long-overdue things happened today!!!
Did you at least read the religious tracts that I left behind? I have more literature if you'd like to hear more about our lord and saviour Aurora Christ today.
if you want a real christ, go read @Vayne's background
All hail our lord and saviour, Vayne Christ!
Also, F those indestructible scrolls @Halos
Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."

This. This made my day. Thanks @Tharvis.
