What Happened To You Today?

Farrah

There's not much point in war between any orgs in terms of the "no way to win" and "what do we do now" factors.

Mathilda

on the bright side, Mak and Co. did allude to a war system thing in line with the commodity warehouse leasing change.

Two special things happened to me today, and I'm absolutely thrilled. 

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 103. You have reached the illustrious level of 3rd Heir to Ashaxei's Legacy.

And!

Today marks the exact one real life month of me having the piggybank, and I've been collecting all of the descriptions for it. 
I decided that I would either break it open on the exact one year mark or level 3 Gauntlets worth of gold. Whatever came first.

After seeing this, though, a big part of me doesn't ever want to break it open now.

Fashioned from fine clay and coated in a thick, lustrous layer of bright pink glaze, this comedic

porcelain porcine effigy bears a narrow opening along its spine, perfectly sized to allow gold 

sovereigns to be fed through. The pig's belly reaches far past its stubby legs, making it impossible 

to balance. Its incredible corpulence is unrivaled, its folds magnificent to behold.

A porcelian piggy bank of Estachian proportions oinks, "1000000."

I want to keep my Estachian forever.

"Testing." There was nothing to test. Atalkez just really wanted to declare war on something. Sigh.

If it wasn't for the pressure from some particular softie worrying about soldiers, we'd still be Hostile.


i struggle to understand why people are soldiers if they dont......soldier....if i understand the issue two cities go to war only soldiers can fight each other freely. for some reason noncoms or people who cant fight well are soldiers...this is the same situation as a noncom joining mark in that case. Its not for roleplay to do. I mean you can but the role comes with pk.

OH DAMN I MADE IT OUT ALIVE!

...shit I went the wrong way.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Does Hecate have a rival?

Azro

Today was wild.

I found myself in a raid at a lowly level 19, managed to die only twice and I’m glad I at least helped sense for enemies with my ability. I’m getting stronger and I’m very excited to battle again! Hopefully I’ll get the hang of all the messages, haha ;w;

Kiet

just think if you had managed to pk farrah you'd have gone up to like level 40.

Reyson

Today, I decided I'd like an out-of-subs plot! Anyone know of someone who's selling?

Leadership is probably one of the more interesting things I've done in Achaea.  Just don't let all the haters get you down. :O

Kiet

FTFY

Puxi

Wait, is that a real thing that happened?

Cailin

Um... yeah... can we not do this. It's been enough of a headache dealing with the drama in game without bringing it to forums too.

Please pass the Marisella.

Minifie

Agreed, Kiet’s post was stinging enough.

Start to learn something, then end up 2 steps back combat wise. Really trying to not just have someone give me a full “press f1 to win” but definitely making more mistakes than I should. 

Talamond

Oh, I thought this was an old reference or something. Seemed like sound advice and made me chuckle.

Cailin

Well, it IS pretty sound advice.

Mmm I know that feeling. Automation has just generally turned me off for combat.

Out of interest, what do you define as 'Automation'

I don't know about Asmodron, but I define automation as a system that you 'start' and runs until either you die, your opponent dies, or you tell it to stop running. It not only makes all logic choices for you based on the input received, but also executes on those logic choices. 

Semi-Auto is something I consider to be a system making logic choices and you pushing the button to act on that logic choice, or choosing to do something else, the system never running of its own accord without you pressing some button on/around every balance.

Asmodron

Basically what Israyhl said, and going back to Minifie's definition of "press f1 to win".

I personally do not use such concepts, and yes I am definitely punished for it when I go up against groups that have amazing scripts. I just dont see the fun in it.

Cooper

Keep on doing what you want Asmodron, I'm extremely happy with your group combat ability.

Israyhl

I will switch targets based on the target of my group leader, and call afflictions/blocking exit/bombs on Party, but I don't auto in groups either. My damage stack is semi-auto, but I haven't been arsed to revisit it and fix it to be more streamlined and smarter (therefore faster). 

Rom

What's you're calling "semi-auto" is a very weird misnomer. Pretty much everyone I know considers "automation" to be any case where offensive logic is decided for the user (i.e. what venoms to use, what venoms to use next, what combo of attacks is most efficient, and then sending a command to the game to reflect this or changing an alias/variable in alias to reflect this logic). Classifying it as being literally hands-off is goofy because almost nobody does that. Interestingly enough, Achaea is also the only game I've ever seen where something like what I just described as offensive automation isn't considered blatantly cheating.

Torinn

I like it because it's fun to code.  But I'm also a code monkey so..

Shirszae

Is it the only text game, too?
