Wait, your typo was fixed an hour before you submitted it?

Tilly

Thanks to all the Divine and Celani working on the game. There have been so many great changes to the game over the past couple of months.

And of course, a thanks to @Babel, just for being the God of Chaos. I'm so damn nerdy, I named a beta fish after Him. >.>

Ha! Babel fish indeed.

It proved god and thus destroyed him. Oblivion!

*** HIT: a Vertani guard (SDK)

The final blow proves too much for a Vertani guard, who expires pitifully.

*** TARGET KILLED: a Vertani guard

Gaze into the timestamps. All will become clear.

Yeah, spent some time doing just that before posting to try to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I see a submisson at 21:33 and a response at 20:41, implying that a) he submitted it yesterday and got a response today, which is not that impressive, b) his prompt timestamps are for a different timezone than the message ones, making it meaningless to just highlight them without comment, or c) the response came before the report, indicating that Achaea has broken physics.

I assume I'm missing something, but I'm pretty sure further staring at the timestamps isn't going to make it any clearer.

Simoln

Since he is raving about it, we can assume that either, a) he has exceptionally low standards for the admin and is impressed by an almost 24-hour turn around; b) we are supposed to see that is it obviously different timezones, and he is in fact raving about an 8-minute turn around.

Blujixapug

24 hours is not a bad turnaround time. 4 months is a bad turnaround time.

8 minutes is a "please stop remote-monitoring my desktop" turnaround time.

Simoln

Granted, 24 hours really isn't that bad. But for a small change like "northern" vs "southern," the only reason for it to take 24 hours is no one was looking at the typo log.

Look at the ones at the end of the line. Ignore the Achaean one from the message.

[spoiler]My current time is 7:50PM (19:50) but a message from Achaea reads "4/16/23:50 Test."[/spoiler]

ANNOUNCE NEWS #3834

Date: 04/17/2013 at 02:15

From: Cardan, the Curious

To  : Everyone

Subj: Bug fixes and player ideas

Greetings Sapience,

Yet another batch of bugfixes and player-submitted ideas have just been

loaded up.

Of particular note amongst these were:

- Artefact ivory dice can now be used to ROLLDICE <count> <sides> to

roll a count up to ten dice with anywhere from 4 to 100 sides. ROLLDICE

by itself will still roll the standard two six-sided dice.

- You can now use artefact signet rings to SIGN <document> WITH <ring>

to sign a scroll, manuscript, or letter with your heraldic arms. NOTE:

Once signed, these documents can no longer be written upon.

- You should no longer be able to buy 0 credits from organisational

credit sales.

- ELIXLIST BLOOD should now correctly show liquid containers containing

blood.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, please submit a BUG with as much

relevant detail as possible.

Cardan, the Curious

Penned by My hand on the 20th of Scarlatan, in the year 623 AF.

Yes! Dungeons and Dala'myrr is a go there, captain!

EDIT: Also, awesome signet ring improvement! And here I was considering trading mine in. Whew.

Huyen

@Halos, thanks for the little history lesson and brief introduction. I may not be great with expressions or putting thoughts to words, but you've done a great thing for Huyen. Can't wait to follow down this line.

@Silas and his public sermons/posts (and @Xenomorph for his forum posts):

Ruth

Yay I can put my signet ring to further use!

Sorry, I should have made that clearer.  I'm used to Achaean time = my time, but we recently* switched to BST, which means that my system time is an hour ahead of Achaean time.

*Okay, it was about a month ago, and it happens every year, so shouldn't be a surprise by now.  I'm slow (and I've been away).

moved to quotes, was not worth a rave

* BITE will keep the target in the dragon's jaws until they recover
balance, to prevent multiple dragons biting at once.


AWWWWW YIIIISSSSSS.

Simoln

I'm assuming that's dragon's balance?

Eld

Must be, otherwise it wouldn't prevent multiple bites on a target that had balance, and would prevent multiple bites from the same dragon if the target was off balance for a long time.

Illyose

THANK YOU MAGIC CREDIT FAIRY!!!! WOOOO TRANS NEXT SKILL!!!!

Shunsui

Half rant, half rave, I love the changes to red dragon breath, makes the colour a lot more fun, I just wish it wasn't bugged for storm and stream (already submitted bug reports)

edit: Credit fairy visit me too prz, daddy needs a new SoA

Shunsui

That was quick, I love you credit fairy

Trilliana

:O I'm so jelly of these people getting visits from the credit fairy. Whoever is doing it, you are awesome.

Echald

Maybe Santa Claus is real but he has been getting too old and his articulations hurts too much to go around the world, so he deals in virtual gifts now.

Melodie

Credit fairy is "ossum", as @Ruth would say.

Rave: Feeling a bit more upbeat after a fairly awful week or so. I can't change some of the bad things that's happened, and lack of ability to change things drive me bananas, but some other things are breaking through, and friends are amazingly support through my downs.

Chin up, move forward!

Syri

Another small rave: meeting more random people while fishing. Good stuff.  :x

Coeur

There's a fairy?! :-O

Silas

Fairies everywhere.

Raves:

@Sohl: for a short, but civil encounter.

@Deucalion: for being around, yay.

I had fun with that raid on Ashtan yesterday, too, once it picked up and a lot of Ashtani started defending. Even though we were awful. Like totally wtf awful.
