Even as an outsider, have to agree that the wedding went very well and was a ton of fun. I don't remember that last time I saw a room full of such stinking drunks and actually enjoyed myself. @Silas, you are the biggest drama queen ever, and that cloak bloody suits you.
Teaching @Daeir to dance (both during and afterward), all the crazy denizens causing havoc (I choked when I checked IH and Cynthia showed up as "harlot"), and watching @Halos strut like the stud he is (and so drunk I barely recognized him - bravo, Halos) was the most fun I'vd had on Achaea in weeks. Thank you for the invitation.
Excuse me while I go knit baby booties as a belated wedding present.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Seriously, major raves for mortal players (@Silas, @Sothantos, @Tesha, @Daeir, etc) and Divine (seen and unseen) who had a hand in making the event extra special, including @Aurora, @Phaestus, @Scarlatti(I suspect) and all the guests who made it. It took 3 weeks to plan and suddenly Everything. Was. Missing. We will never let Soth forget his unexpectedly transforming into bride bridgezilla at the last moment. Giles. The river incident. There were hiccups everywhere (Rings? Instruments? Dignity? Where?). Somehow it turned out wonderfully.
Thanks, all. It's things like this that keep me coming back to achaea again and again.
A frenzied cleric screams, "Like more than one halo!"
I left before this happened, but I just want you to know I read this, laughed my arse off, came back later, read it again and laughed my arse off, then read the forums this morning and laughed all over again. Good show. It's not a proper event without a dead harlot.
We'll need to borrow Cynthia from Sothantos more often. Just make sure no one teaches her to swim in the meantime. Think this is like her third time drowning.
The sweltering heat of the forge spills out across the land as the rumbling voice of Phaestus booms, "I want you to know, the Garden reaction to that one is: What?" The voice of Melantha, Goddess of the Seasons, echoes amid the rustle of leaves, "That's the censored version."

Subj: Emote overhaul
One of the features that we get asked about most is an expansion to the
emote system, allowing a greater range of flexibility when expressing
one's self. We agree, and we're pleased to announce the release of our
overhauled emoting system!
Some of the features of the new system are:
* Emotes can now be combined with many basic actions, such as GIVE, DROP, and WEAR.
* Items and players can now be seamlessly referenced in emotes.
* Everything is wrapped up in one easy-to-use command: EMOTE - no more TMOTE!
* This is now compatible with artefact pets; those of you who have
purchased the sentience add-on for your pets can now direct them to
emote using the full system.
Excited yet? We sure are! For all of the details on the new system, check out HELP EMOTING!
We have also added a new CONFIG option: SII or SEEITEMINTERACTION. When
someone uses a custom emote in combination a basic action like DROP,
those who have this enabled will see a summary of the action following
the emote. This is off by default, so CONFIG SII ON if you would like to
use it.
(*) Note: The new system offers many changes to expand your options when
interacting with players, but one thing that has not changed is our
stance on using emotes to scam other adventurers or for advantages in
player-vs-player combat. The rules are simple: don't do it.

The emote overhaul is certainly awesome, and I haven't tested if fully yet... But did they finally allow for fully colored says in emotes?
Nope.
Also, emotes still take balance, except when accompanying an action that doesn't take balance. So the "get lily from vase" emote in my last post was balanceless, while just doing "emote carefully removes a pale pink calla lily from a white crystalline vase." takes balance.
Combining Actions with Custom Emotes ------------------------------------ Emotes may be combined with some common commands to truly customise many facets of your character's actions. We currently offer this functionality to the following verbs:
DRINK REMOVE DROP SIT EAT(*) STAND GIVE TAKE/GET LIE WEAR PUT
Your bug report (detail: custom emotes while doing an action that
doesn't take balance (drink, get, etc.) take no balance, but custom
emotes without an accompanying action still take balance. It seems odd
for emotes that do nothing to take balance while emotes that actually do
something take none.) - has been fixed. The following notes were
included: Although this has been fixed, the code may not be active
immediately so the problem may appear to persist for a little while.
Removing balance on regular custom emotes.
This, man. I realize, at some point, it becomes nothing more than glorified log-rolling, but I have to say, the Spicers as of late have just made shit so, so, so entertaining all around - and also goddamn you guys, I haven't seen bed before 4 AM in weeks.
Also adding @Simoln@Sybilla@Verily -- not to mention the promising next-gen that we're training to be degenerates early, and they're taking the lessons so well.

You have acted: Sena carefully removes a pale pink calla lily from a white crystalline vase.
:x
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Also, emotes still take balance, except when accompanying an action that doesn't take balance. So the "get lily from vase" emote in my last post was balanceless, while just doing "emote carefully removes a pale pink calla lily from a white crystalline vase." takes balance.
So awezome.
Also, hey, things didn't implode when I left.

You have acted: Jiraishin drains the remaining absinthe from an ivory rook vial
in a single, long swallow.
I love this new system. I'm sure I'm going to screw up and prepend using ++ a hundred times over the next couple of weeks, but I love this.
