Who even does that.
- With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
- Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
- Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."

Turns out that I can't. Got her down to about 59% or so before I had to run, and I think I (somehow?) ended up first in Mhaldor (or running past Carmain somewhere), and then straight past Nemutaur (?) somewhere else, and then I managed to Gare out from wherever I landed the third time. Next time I think I'll see about getting some help first. Fun.

Fighting ensues, we sanction and just as we're overrun, I manage to detonate the tank moments before Jhui and others enter! Phew!
In a searing rush of flame, a glowing metal tank radiating waves of heat ignites to form a raging inferno.
The flames subside to leave the massive form of a stag of primal flame in their wake.
(Party): You say, "Blowing tank."
Rangor tells you, "Blow it."
You dive behind cover as the massive flame-infused creature reaches critical mass. Screaming in rage and pain, a stag of primal flame explodes with a massive blast, decimating almost everything in the surrounding area.
As the elating experience of victory washes over you, you feel your understanding of the world improve.
(svo): The room has been destroyed!
You say in a gentle, calm voice, "Too late!"
*combat ensues, cutting off my monologue*
Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Did you grove res it."
*combat spam*
Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Fuck off."
*more combat spam*
You have been slain by Merador.
These things happen when icon groups are repurposed :X.
My butt hurts.
Was a good weekend.
P.S. Xer puppet kicked @Hasar puppet's ass.

Overall, a pretty good two days in the realms. Too bad work has kept me away more than I'd prefer.
HELP ERYMANTHUS: The Isle of Erymanthus floats high in the clouds, created by Vastar long ago as a home for His creation, the race of Atavians.
HELP ARCADIA: Arcadia is the city of origin for the winged race of Atavians, created by Vastar, the Skylord.
HELP SEAT OF VASTAR: The residents of the Seat of Vastar are dedicated in their worship to Vastar, and spend their quiet lives amongst the rubble, protected from the dangers of the jungle by their high mesa. Their religion is highly structured, led by a high cleric of their god's chosen race: the atavians.
The atavians in Genji don't count, dirty Agatheis lovers.
(I (the player) actually assumed Rom was already enemied (I checked a short while later).)
If you /thought/ he was enemied, perhaps checking the enemies list before responding so assholish to a young person, would've been more logical.
BE LESS DENSE.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Also, trying to question your own enemy status with an organisation by saying "Why enemy me and not my ally?" is so rude to your ally.
Again: BE LESS DENSE.
To the best of my knowledge, there's been no interaction between Klendathu the character and you (player or character), so I assume you're indepth knowledge of Klendathu's character and RP is somehow genetic knowledge.
@Klendathu: I was enemied a good thirty minutes after I died. Quite obvious you'd have seen Rom's deathsight, if you saw mine. No excuse for that.
@Merador: It's not, when Rom wanted to be enemied as well, when I mentioned that I got enemied to him. He even pouted! - Sure, I could've worded my initial statement better, no real reason to respond in a manner that is pretty much akin to, "Ya, cool story."
Can we move on now?
You can be gruff, say little, or be outright insulting all the time if that's a part of your character, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. It doesn't make you a bad RPer, just someone that might be more difficult to RP initially with towards any kind of a more meaningful plotline, but again - not necessarily a bad thing if this is a conscious choice and not just a projection of your personality on the character. Not everyone is talkative or civil in real life, and the same certainly shouldn't be expected in Achaea.
Interactions like the one above are designed to be antagonistic (obviously, because he just found you killing an area he is bound to protect), and perhaps that ruffles feathers in real life - not unusual, but being offended by it doesn't make it bad roleplay. So what if he 'forgot' to enemy your mentor? You can take that minor interaction and run with it in a myriad of ways that help to grow your character, many of which never even have to involve him at all - he could have just sparked an everlasting vendetta against the Vastarians or Arcadians, and start a thread that could eventually have your paths cross again to a more interesting interaction the second time around. Maybe you could become lifelong rivals or - who knows - fast friends!
Of course, that's all up to you, and that's the beauty of roleplay. It's what you make of it. If you don't have any desire to run with this thread, shrug it off as an annoyance, mutter about biased, useless Vastarians, and move on. It's as simple as that really.

Didn't exactly set the tone for a free and happy exchange of ideas. I still consider the response given to be appropriate:
(Fact fans, voice dripping with venom is the mood when a green dragon sends a tell, not an indication of Klendathu's actual mood)
The petulance continues:
You tell Klendathu, "Except you're not being consistent, by enemying the OTHER person that died to the stormshaper as well. That is my point."
And the conversation, such that it is, is brought to a distinct close:
To paraphrase, Klendathu has too much to do to bother being nice to people he's just enemied.
Quite a few times I've wished I could respond differently to certain things as Jurixe, but it would simply make no sense for her to be nicer, or soften her words, or say what she's thinking. So I just have to roll with the RP choices and hope it works out, though I do try to find alternative creative ways to help make the interaction valuable for both parties. A key thing to remember I think is that it works both ways - if you don't try on your end to make the interaction worthwhile, the other person - who may already not be predisposed towards entertaining you - probably won't be further motivated to spend time on you.
