The Bal'met event

Tvistor

Hang that man for questioning our methods.

Amunet

I've always been jealous of the myriad of ways that Mhaldor gets to execute people. During my brief citizenship there, the highlight of every day was seeing who would get executed, and how. 

EDIT: Staying on-topic, I'm sad that I missed the bulk of the attack on Ashtan. Damn classes.

Vayne

I hear the refugees are taking on refugees? That does not seem quite right to me.

Jarrod

@ previous page's comments about 'why not wait 10m to purify the dragon'

It's obvious the Divine were worried Ashtan's armada of dragons would successfully bash it, should it land anywhere in the city. Especially since he rushed with his 3 bros and they got pit, so it would have left him alone to deal with God-tentacles and God-meteor/warp. Good luck.

Tvistor

Ugh, Babel should take off his arties and try fight. What a noob.

Orklanishkal

Babel's basically the Jesus of Ashtan now - our Lord and Savior.

Ugh, yes, this. I saw this yesterday and was like 'what in the effing hell', told Silas to fix it, and now it is fixed.

Grandue

Where exactly do the ex-Shallamese hang out now? Cyrene?

Oh @Nellaundra, calm down.

There's plenty who come and sit around in the city, buy supplies, etc. I don't think it's the "main" hangout, though.

Tagg

Wait wait wait.

Scyriuighjgfhjkj destroyed the Chalet?

He destroyed the demon stripper?

OH HELL NO.

Silas wasn't involved, actually.

EDIT: Not that we weren't all equally astounded at Achilles inducting random people. I'm guessing it was a miscommunication.

@Halos' avatar change is so appropriate.

Idelisa

Someone needs to eat a butt load of pear and go rescue all the books.

Aktillum

Let them drown. Books are for dummies. Incidentally, I can now fish from my house's front doorstep.

Xer

@Tagg: I know what you mean Lela's gone. Dunno where I'm going to bring novices for some of their exams now >.>

Silas

To be honest, the best thing that could happen to Shallam is that the admins don't listen to the vast majority of people's opinions on what Shallam should be. The admins have heard our complaints, and I trust them to make a new city based around the recurring themes from people who've played Shallamese characters. The absolute last thing I'd want is for them to make a new city based on what the forums want to see.

Crathen

Why? I'd like to be able to buy eclairs in every room.

Grandue

I agree with Silas, the Admin should not listen at all to what the player base is asking for, instead they should actually take what the players are asking for on the forums and just do the complete opposite. Why should the players have any say in what their experience should be like while playing?

Silas

I have no say in the makeup of Ashtan, and I expect that you should have no say in the makeup of my city. Since we're all able to play alts, though, I'd much rather nobody had any real input at all, and that the admins just did it all with the knowledge of what did and didn't work in old Shallam.

Chryenth

Best case, the admins look at the forums and go 'I see what you're hoping for. Here's what we're going to do.'

And then they make something so great that we forget what we wanted in the first place.

Grandue

You're assuming that only former citizens of Shallam have good ideas of what did/didn't work in old Shallam and that only former citizens of Shallam have good ideas on how to improve it, and your assumption is wrong.

It was not a random person. It was an enemy and a blacklisted person. When I asked Achilles, he said no. He openly lied.

Not the right medium to discuss it, but no I did not lie.

*sob*. I miss Shai, and not just because she bought my oysters.

I see...

Had any of you ever interacted with Achilles previously?

Trey

A bit late, but Deucalion's first impression was great. I read the log and got an awe-boner. Then lol'd hard when he killed Cain.

Nakari

my one complaint, and it is a very minor complaint, was that he came back immediately after the destruction of the city. I think it would have been neat to have to really wonder exactly how abandoned one has been, as it would have really forced the actual feel of being a refugee. That feeling got a little less extreme when he returned right after the city was destroyed. 

I'm way too happy for the event to really care, though

Tarkanian

@Nakari: technically, you're still refugees for as long as you don't have a city. And if you read the latest Events post, Deucy said the gulf was "too wide for a mortal to breach, but it was not too wide for an immortal".

So there you go. He was just in time, if you think about it. Probably just got out of bed wearing his tunic, which actually kinda makes him late.
