Achaean Raves

Nizaris

@Tesha: Yeah, @Jarrel's done that for me a few times, too. Huge help.

Aepas

@Areigna for having some of the most solid RP I have seen in a good long while.

(Edit: Newest person I have seen. Still love all my Arpee Mhaldorians @insert names here. I know I'll forget one if I tag them all, so I'll just make it general.)

Illyose

This is a ranting rave. You know who you are, and what was done. Totally in awe of your awareness to pull it off, but *long explicatives here* it's frustrating to see it happen. Props for taking it the way it went.

The Black Lotus might tolerate such kindness, but the Ashura do not.  I will see that he is punished IG.

What's funny about this, is a few days ago he left the Black Lotus and joined the Ashura.

@Ayoxele, @Lukan,  @Cahin for lulz.

Mizik

Ashura.

God damn I love this House. Way to put in the work, everyone.

Jurixe

There's crazy, there's awesome, and then there's @Carmain.

Best IC dad ever.

Rulf

Seconded, @Mizik. Ballin ass raid the last few days, been loving it.

Nellaundra

EMBRACE THE PHASE!

Lukan

@Carmain suicide rush'd Targossas raiders so we could snipes them. And we succeeded. It was amazing. I love you, Carmain. <bro3

Kenway

@Aerek.

Best. Teacher. Ever.

'Nuff said, but I'm gonna go on anyhow.

I'm not even a Warden or Cyrenian anymore, yet he still took about an hour out of his time to help me with my stupid weapon swapping that was always getting me killed. Not to mention all the help he gave me while I was still a Warden. And everyone else he helps.

You read what is written on an elegantly embossed letter:

function Draw_Rapiers()

   send("unwield left")

   send("unwield right")

   send("draw rapier### right")

   send("draw rapier### left")

   send("wielding")

   send("grip")

end

function Sheathe_Rapiers()

   send("relax grip")

   send("wield left rapier###")

   send("wield right rapier###")

   send("wipe rapier###")

   send("wipe rapier###")

   send("sheathe rapier###")

   send("sheathe rapier###")

end

I could not deal with this if I were in his shoes. Every Warden knows him as the best mentor ever and there's a bloody reason his damn Hird is always full.

Don't fall asleep on his office landing though. He doesn't like that.

Sothantos

Seeing code on a letter is kind of weird.

Jurixe

There are many complex layers to Jurixe, but most often people only see at most one or two sides of her. It's very rare (especially these days) that I get to involve myself in scenarios that explore deeper emotions inside of her, ones she normally wouldn't exhibit/even think about, and I forgot how much fun it actually was.

Also, my Naga, I love them. All like five of them.

Verily

'..Reflecting light, a small mirror hangs by a lunalia..'

Seeing a simple item Verily left some place for a dear avian friend be unexpectedly a room fixture the next time visiting..? Silly as it may seem, nothing in Achaea has made me quite so giddy and delighted! I'll be smiling for days. Much love for the perpetrator!

Ashura.

God damn I love this House. Way to put in the work, everyone.

I figured I would add this up after all the frustration of the raid, multiple deaths, several whole points of experience lost for leading the defense as a soul (woo mana tick xp loss in cities!) and the "Hell are you talking about" I gave to everyone that said good job leading the defense. But the finally score I had was Cyrenian deaths 78, Ashtani deaths 18. It was a complete mess on our end in my opinion, just so many monks and so much damage output.

You just need a little more target focus. When I was rereading you guys were all over the place, if that focus had been on a single person they would have crumbled. Well except @Jhui, he tanks stuff like nobodies business.

Exelethril

To be fair, it isn't difficult to take out clueless midbies hanging around within kai choking range with a well co-ordinated team of five(?) artied monks and an occultist. It's the best utility you could probably get from pressing a single button to get kills while avoiding melee.

Fair strategy on your end though as Cyrene's numbers would have easily decimated your raid group in melee(as was twice the case).

Daslin

Chaos Rays, how I don't miss Tanris'. Those sucked in Shallam. I swear they were buffed for it.

Silas

I miss everything about *tanris.

Daslin

Even his face? Silas, did you have a thing for him? Admit it, you liked him more than Bonko!

Tesha

I liked *tanris more than anybody (except Mizik).

Akuji

I think it's been heard one million times, but I'll throw it out there again.

I've recently picked up Achaea, and I joined Eleusis from the moment I did the trial. So I'm still understanding the game and the mechanics itself, and I'm still not sure if I want to devote myself to credits just yet (although I have trans'ed my Swashbuckling, missing with a jab was pissing me off) but the fact that I'm part of Eleusis means that I'm 'expected' to be there for raid defense. 

I would enjoy risking my life to Dirge the goddamn gravehands if it exterms and raiding didn't happen thrice a day, and Xer, Ayoxele, Carmain and Proficy beating the shit out of me. ;-; I won't go back out there! You can't make me!

Jiraishin

Shouldn't that be in the ranting thread?

Nizaris

Every time @Jurixe changes her signature, I lose another ten minutes of my life.

Jhui

Akuji

Nope, because I'm not ranting. I just don't want to go back out there. ;=;

Lukan

I'm going to post a rave about @Carmain every day until he kisses me.

Which might turn into a rant by him instead.
