@Laila

Lesson learned.... dont ever leave us again

Yes Sir!

@Zbaco I've been lucky that so many old friends still play and have caught me up pretty well. 

It's like a totally different game though!

The seas turned black?  Like the ASCII turned black?  That's awesome

They did! Me and some friends did a voyage that claimed would summon a kraken and we assumed it would be like leviathan strength and we were very very very wrong. Turned all of the oceans black and casting off anywhere at all summoned you onto the monster. I sank 7 or 8 times and dozens of ships helped before we finally kilt it. Was awesome! Honestly wasn't planning on a fight that big and totally derailed my intention to do a quick voyage

Thank you for putting out the call and involving so many other sailing folks in this great event, @Jinsun (and/or thank you kraken for summoning us all with your dastardly whirlpool). And kudos to whoever put this Voyages thing together. This and the Borak prison-break were incredibly fun adventures shared with folks I don't usually get to interact with as much IC. Good times!

Hey despite my best efforts, I couldn't have killed it alone

Arrie

I was Marked for Death and it was so much fun! Thank you, everyone, who sent me tips and techniques and words of encouragement. I wasn't used to all that attention and I was so nervous my hands were literally shaking. I am so glad I chose Mhaldor for my city because you all are wonderful!

Arrie confirmed best legate

Kyrra

I was dreaming about Taryius and Sothantos on Zanzibaar and it was being narrated by Loreena McKennitt in the style of ‘The Highwayman’ while searching to hear a local legend from a gypsy lady named Dagra.

I haven’t remembered my dreams in a long time and this was weird enough I just had to share.

yeah that is a fun coming of age thing in mhaldor. I remember mine fondly. Sartan killed me twice. ahahahha!

Xallax

So I pet my minipet, Ciorva, and next thing I know @Archaeon is causing chaos with commanding others to pet everyone else.

Archaeon

no mortal can resist my charm

Ererean

Why was I not on when this happened

Caelan

Logged in and went from 3v1 against @Proficy in the Eastern Ithmia.  Then @Quillion showed and we beat them back.  Apparently some other folks showed up on our side so Profi-bro ran equal numbers  as I dropped shrines while he was praying. 

Came back and we had a fun knock down drag out fight with @Darrod and @Melodie and @Anastacia joining.  Eleusis won, of course. :-D  but after not being able to log in because of this cancer shit and horrid work wifi, it was nice.  Thanks to everyone who jumped in on both sides.

Quillion

Yeah. Proficy and I decided to try the 3v2. Then it went from 3v2 to 6v2 and I got insta locked/killed. Was crazy.

Archaeon

now you know how it feels to fight mhaldor.

Quillion said:

Was it 6?  I thought when you came it was still the 2v3..   I know we had more when your whole crew came back but even then I thought it was like 5v5. If it was 6v2, sorry...  but yeah Miayakai got locked up quick too on our side. 

I think our disorganization helped us since we didnt focus on anyone and didnt have targets actively being called... so we just hammered on randomly and it kinda hindered your whole group.  Either way I had fun.  And did better than when @Minifie and I had our cripple-fight the day before ;-)

Quillion

Oh, yeah. It was fun. Blew my mind. Then I looked back and I was like oh! That's why. Haha, but its all good, because we were in yall's area. Like, understandable more show up I encourage it, it makes sense. I was just disappointed I didn't notice more come in the room is all.

Doesn’t matter, we romped 7v4 to protect shrines, sometimes you just have so many defenders you just lol romp your enemies, sometimes you get romped, but honestly it’s been fun, it isn’t anything massive world scale, but it feels like two orgs actually fighting over something, if we get repelled enough perhaps artemis will gain sovereign over the isle? It’s not a war, but it’s been a good conflict driver, and it seems to be pulling more of eleusis together to defend nature, and it isn’t just seeing vivify/exterm messages all the time. 

I appreciate that it can be controlled though, and am keeping an eye on it turning into roving gank squads, not against some repercussion 1v1, but ganking others isn’t going to keep this conflict fresh and enjoyable IMO.

Caelan

Agree @Minifie.  As long as it doesn't devolve it has a lot of potential for fun.  If I had more time today I would have dropped every shrine and then pushed for the isle so...  there is that ;-)

Jinsun

@Rackham @Kinilan @Uilien @Dalran and I went adventuring and played babysitter to a bunch of Ilyrean hatchlings. We took them to a denizen who said to bring him hatchlings and he just kept saying "I don't wanna talk if you ain't got hatchlings." which is frustrating. So we kept looking for answers and some of us sank Tarvius with the children still on board making us the first pirate crew I believe to use smuggled child accomplices. Funny story, but I'm just beat down and defeated over this fucking voyage. I've sailed to Ilyrean like 15 times and no answers and nothing that should work has. Including bringing children to the guy who says he wants children. 

Skye

Maybe he wanted them as corpses >_>

Shirszae

Quick! Someone enemy and charge those children with piracy  

Thaisen

@Shirszae They will be charged and included in the monthly, annual, and bi-annual reports. Don’t you worry!

Jinsun

Accurate depiction of last month's circumnavigation 

Kinilan

you make me miss the dislike button.

Brythan

You summon whips of shadow to viciously lash the form of a taryen man.

You have slain a taryen man, retrieving the corpse.

You have learned new Attainment abilities: Multiclass and Sustenance.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 80.

You have reached the illustrious level of Logosian.

You have received 20 Bound Credits!

A chipped tangerine shard appears and clatters to the ground.

A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

Glad to have reached this point for now! Time to take a short break to focus on some House and City things and hopefully work out my combat strategies.

Settling the debts of uncounted centuries, a feast of kraken flesh was her reward.

I'm a day late, but wanted to rave how amazing the voyage led by @Jinsun was last month. Thank you to everyone who took part. It was amazing to see Ashtan with so many sails unfurled on the seas at once!

Aww man, already? I should probably start stepping up my hunting game

Kriex

Got to try out the order dragon form and deathsights tonight. Well worth the wait for everything that Kriex has been put through lately. Even getting MoW in Cyrene to top it off. Has been a great month so far. Shoutouts to Cyrene for accepting me and to @Eril and @Phaestus for making him apart of the Family. Happiness is a total understatement right now!!!!!!

Atalkez

So I graduated today with my Bachelors of Science in Computer Information Systems. I started back college at 27, when my daughter got enrolled into kindergarten. Working full time and going to school was tough, but absolutely worth the effort.

Ordinarily this wouldn’t be game related, but Achaea is a big part of my major selection. Many can attest that my coding ability was paltry at best for a long time (still much to learn even now!) The interest in fixing my system and combat in Achaea really drove me to take this seriously.

If it wasn’t for Achaea, I’m not sure I would have had an interest in going back at all. So I appreciate that about the game, and those people who helped this scrub get the ball rolling over the last few years. It’s been a journey!
