The Bal'met event

Silas

The last bit at least is obvious - Sarapis wasn't back 6 months ago. No disrespect to Tecton and everyone else, but this is Sarapis's baby. He's obviously going to be more willing to roughhouse with it to make it grow strong than the people he pays to mind it.

I'm enjoying the event, (I haven't had that much to do with it) I'd actually prefer a few longer events if the detail and thought has been put into it, which this one obviously has and if it was too short it was just feel rushed and not as exciting.

But but logosmas!

@Xeran If you're getting that stressed out over a game, a period of dormancy would serve you well regardless of the event.

QFT.  We all need a ragequit from time to time, or cool off for a bit. I don't think anybody would blame you for doing so during this event.

Sarapis

Sorry about things dragging a bit here! We were interrupted by the Thanksgiving weekend (many of us were busy visiting rl relatives, etc) and another unexpected behind-the-scenes factor. It may take a few days, but plans are afoot (or ahoof if you're a Satyr).

What's a rl?

Apologies and excuses do not absolve you from the fact that laziness and neglect has occured. If you were running a nusery this would be a clear cut case of child abuse. Your children HERE need you.  I for one want my bottle and for this event to end!

Launder the Turkey Gravy off your clothes and get back to work.

A question for the admins, and I fully understand you not being able to answer for reasons of mystery: How did this event come about? Were there a few event ideas lying around that all got melded into a super-event, or was it more 'Let's do this huge thing to shake things up. What else can we tie into it?' Were there other factors affecting the timings of it, ect? (Like, why now and not +/- 6 months, for example.)

When Sarapis came back on the scene a while back he made an announcement(#3685) basically asking what we, the players, thought of the game and what we would like from it going forward. He has said this event is the result of the feedback we gave.

I remember that thread. I must have missed the point where he confirm this event was the result.

Both of you make good points.

You know you play too much Achaea when you have to specify "real life" when you say "relatives".

(More seriously, totally understandable. Am looking forward to the next chapter!)

Mishgul

I, for one, visited my Achaea relatives during thanksgiving.

Tvistor

I don't think you all understand. The Hellrazor wants his bottle. This is serious.

I'm subbing the word "ember" to "bottle" for glorious effects

Tvistor

(Mhaldor): Cain says, "Does anyone have an bottle?"

(Mhaldor): Cain says, "Jhui dropped his bottle, anyone want it?"

or during the raiding today

(Party): Cain says, "Dropped an bottle, go Tvistor!"

It partially is. I mean, it's not as if there's a laundry list of stuff that came out of that thread that we're checking off, but there were some overall themes that emerged from the thread, and some of them inspired this event.

Cahin

In Mhaldor we have this drinking game we play where every time Cain mentions an ember on ct you have to drink.

What the hell is an bottle?

Tvistor

It would be 'an ember' you see, but only 'ember' got subbed. I like realism.

Arador

It is what an hero drinks out of.

Rean

Can you Mhaldorian pvper types tell me oocly if things are getting too hot for you? Someone got upset and I couldn't tell if it was ic or ooc, so I'm a little worried now. Rean pretty much only defiles/fights defenders/ask for duels from some of the bigger PvPers, but I'm trying to keep things fun for you guys too. Don't want Rean's retribution RP to come at the cost of other people's enjoyment of the game.

Tvistor

Rean seems like such a nice guy. A few novices have complained about Ashtani gank squads, but your name has not come up yet, so it's cool.

Xith

Yeah, if you don't want so strain your noodle too much, the simple version is: before messy pantheon; now not so messy pantheon; event good; Bieber bad.

It is warm breastmilk I get shipped over from Swedish donors. IKEA has it in their catalogue next to their meat balls I love so much.

It was high time I stooped to truly juvenile humor.



















(teehee, balls)

Rean

Haha. Slightly off topic, but that was more Rean trying to get Daeir to leave a noncombatant alone than anything else. I'm careful with rising pvpers too, don't worry.

Lets get back on topic! There wasn't anything new for the events tonight, hopefully tomorrow? I'm afraid everything is going to come to a massive epic head when I'm at class or something.

Perhaps we need an herald to properly announce an hero like Cain's need for an bottle.

Tvistor

That was an ridiculous statement.

Or....

(Market:) Cain says, "Paying credits for a bottle."

Jonathin

This event has led to a lot of really fun RP regarding the xorani sickness. There was even a nice admin behind the scenes that helped out without me even asking.

To that admin I must say,
