What shitty attitude? My above post is pretty clearly a joke. All we care about is getting tanks from Hashan, since they helped take away our ability to get tanks. It's 100% a legitimate RP response to the situation.
Oh no dude. I was tongue-in-cheek forum RPing. Sorry i should have made that clear w a tag or something.
The first part was just joking because people complain their arent enough crusades so i was joking that Eleusis found a way around it on main plane. The rest was just tropes on forum-city stereotypes.
Dude I don't think you understand.
When you insult on forums (Jokingly, Seriously) it is a grave crime against all cities and divines associated with them. Not to mention all religious orders, political organizations, non-profit organizations, educational organizations, and Kiet's mother. The charge is Asmoposting and the fine fixing syntax is "transfer 100 credits to astarod for 0 gold."
With that in mind, you are a spiritually taxing adolescent hotdog-vender-level individual who is barely capable of unpacking toothpicks @Caelan.
The Divine voice of Twilight echoes in your head, "See that it is. I espy a tithe of potential in your mortal soul, Astarod Blackstone. Let us hope that it flourishes and does not falter as so many do."
Aegis, God of War says, "You are dismissed from My demense, Astarod. Go forth and fight well. Bleed fiercely, and climb the purpose you have sought to chase for."
Felt slightly hypocritcal talking about the long traditions of Blood and Steel events in Mhaldor, considering I've never been in one (possibly excluding Ysela's teens or early twenties).
Retained the win streak though: won joust yesterday, was on winning team today. Before this is over, they'll all think it rigged. (And Kiet will be ruined, if he doesn't change the odds for Ysela in his books...)
You whip a rune-carved, Cyrenian morning star toward a massive, black and white war beetle.
You have scored a WORLD-SHATTERING CRITICAL hit!!!

That didn't kill it. Not sure whether to be happy that I managed those crits, or sad that it didn't go down. Did about half health of it, with both hits.
The eaves of Yggdrasil shake beneath the ringing of a crier's bell in a campanological salute to Taryius, the first Foozling King named by Loramere's town crier.
Bruyan, the town crier gives a Foozle crown to you.
Embedded with tawdry gemstones and tin thread, this thin copper crown seems designed to sit upon the brow of any true victor in the ancient art of the Foozle. Etched about its exterior and interior alike, the words "Foozle Winner" repeat endlessly along the surface of the metal, a reminder to all and sundry of the triumphant authority of the wearer.
Bruyan, the town crier shouts, "Hear ye, hear ye! Oh yez! Triumphant Taryius claims crown from humble town crier! Now are the days of the Foozling king! May they be blessed! Oh yez!"
(Aegis, God of War) says, "While you remain as the mortal head of My Army, you will also retain ownership over this."
Aegis gives a Vusevian staff of Warfare to you.
Constructed within the forges of Vusevia, this staff is a deliberate recreation of a monument to War. A twisted helical length of blackened steel forms the shaft of the two-handed weapon, its barbarous edges posing as a source of intimidation not only to its victim, but also to the safety of an unskilled practitioner. Although it appears crudely designed, the stave is instead an exceptional testament of the skills of its blacksmith; symbolising the immutable consequences of Warfare, radial symmetry is imbued in its form, while still preserving the fine balance crucial for its function.
You start to wield a Vusevian staff of Warfare in your hands. Called forth by your touch, innumerable Aegean glyphs flicker into existence upon a Vusevian staff of Warfare, glowing a deep crimson hue and pulsating to the thrum of your heartbeat.
You cease to wield a Vusevian staff of Warfare.
As you relinquish command over a Vusevian staff of Warfare, the crimson Aegean glyphs upon its twisted length extinguish silently in swift succession.
(Aegis, God of War) says, "Use it well, Domnitor Morthif, and continue not to fail Me."
It's been pretty eventful lately! Lots of interaction both with very familiar faces, and old faces not seen in a while. Majority of them having not been back too long - it's really nice to see a lot of names crop up that I haven't and getting them back into Mel's life in little and big ways. This has included some various denizens, which is always a treat, including a particular swashbuckler that I'm sorry (OOCly) to have backhanded. You can still be my buddy.
Talking about that with someone else, we chatted and it got me to eventually submitting the following idea, which I actually really like a lot (and I feel like could be easily expanded on).
You submit the idea #169 'A new system of "experience" for the crew of ships - learning sea shanties. This could involve a process that has you exploring different islands and harbours to pick up new shanties via some sort of interaction. Maybe a (not too complicated) quest, maybe some sort of ship trade, maybe a new system entirely. But it should encourage exploration, and customization of your ship's crew. Shanties could be lore-based, just fun made-up things, or even bawdy. Possibilities to expand on this are pretty large!' for review.
Then finally, in today's treasure hunt, I ended up finding six gift bags. Three were small assortments of stuff, but the other three completely blow anything I've won on Achaea (at once) out of the water - atavians wings, Ceylonese ring (lvl2 health rip), and an ebony pipe. I was pretty floored.
It's been a good few days, but especially today!
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
So, in an attempt to delegate, I pulled a few housemates over to pick out the catering list for the opening games, with few instructions other than "look at that list, pick out ten items for me," before going back to my post. An hour later, I get handed this:

Sometimes it's the small things, like a nicely formatted letter that someone went out of their way to make a little more fun, that put a smile on my face
Went to go help a citymate out that got rezzed at the flame. Couple other folks show up to help out. We're getting her sorted and squared away, and then a Snappy Boi showed up and started trying to snap people.
Everyone scatters, I follow another citymate, and Snappy Boi starts fighting them. So, okay, sure, tell myself "this is how I die and lose all my hunting exp from this month I guess" and start chopping away at legs cause that's all I know how to do. Chop legs, break legs, stab gud. Then suddenly I get picked up by the friendly city neighborhood dragon and dropped off back in Cyrene... mid-fight.
Okay, that's not that bad. Tell him, "Hey, go save Citymate, Snappy Boi is fighting them." Well apparently they got away or something, and I think "Okay, cool, that's done with."
Nope. Then I start getting tells calling me a coward for "jumping" Snappy Boi, and Snappy Boi says he can definitely hunt me down "like the little coward" I apparently am unless I duel him.
Bro. I'm a 79 that's just starting to get into anything beyond swinging my sword at denizens. I go into raids and sketch thurisaz like a sugar-loaded kindergartner coloring with crayons. I regularly get pulled into rooms with kill groups and get for-the-watch'd faster than you can say "you know nothing Jon Snow." My crowing achievement of raid defense so far is having the audacity to headslam a dragon to stun it so it didn't devour me.
You went all snappy-stabby on my friends, so of course I'm gonna try to Butcher Pete your legs. That doesn't mean I'm some god-tier, arte'd out war master that's trying to "jump" you. I'm a friggin' scrub with a baseline forged sword that's just trying to have fun with the game.
You hear a high-pitched screaming noise and instantly a bolt of red, crackling energy strikes your mortal body. Your back arches as pain explodes in your brain. Crimson fire erupts through your eye sockets and mouth as you die in unspeakable agony. You have been slain by Tlalaiad.
Followed by a lot of "what did you do this time, Stheno?" N-nothing! This time. I love this death though.
Reaching down with a massive hand, Sartan lifts your head and draws a taloned finger across your throat, the wound closing as He does so.

Thank you for coming to help me! If anyone tries to Start Things (tm) with you for defending me, let me know and I will do my best to drop the full familial wrath on them. (@Ryssa, @Evanston ready to squash if necessary?)

I want an invite to the squashening
@Tasus You more or less got an invite the impromptu squashening that happened last night, along with @Evanston, @Auria, @Arin, and @Emiya if I'm not mistaken, but indeed, all shall be notified of further occurrences of "anyone trying to Start Things™" when I try to help folks.
There were a lot of people who gathered for the opening ceremony of the Seleucarian Games, and there was a lot going on, but this part stuck out to me. To provide context, crates of candles, specially made for this ceremony, and were being lit from each other.
Arin holds her lit candle towards Cooper, smiling.
Not sure if he noticed or was playing the stoic Mhaldorian, but was great to see the gesture.

Now, was this sarcasm?
(Market): Aegoth says, "Offering 50,000 gold for Stefana's truedeath due to false advertising."
( I even told @Arin I regretted the phrasing of my initial advertisement before Plak's deathsight, then seeing that cemented it)
It was easier and more fun than telling Aegoth I can sail hehe.
