Reading old news. The level of IC/OOC blur was just embarrassing back a few IC centuries ago, but every so often there's a little gem that makes me so happy that I've committed to reading ~1700 house related posts in my spare time.
Maybe one day I'll summon the courage to go through Ashtan's news, but I doubt I'll ever be brave enough to wade through the mire of insults that seems to make up most of the public board.
Totally did not expect that. I had to laugh at @Finchy's 8 votes, though.
I dunno. I always am a bit annoyed when groups of people vote for someone who stepped down voluntarily, because it usually implies they couldn't be bothered to read the news but felt they had to vote regardless. It's like those people who vote in RL elections without informing themselves about the candidates at all. I prefer people who don't vote to people who vote entirely uninformedly (which incidentally also causes me to get a bit annoyed at people who tell others that it's their "duty to vote", because it tends to lead to exactly this).
I always assumed voting for the dormant/stepping down incumbent instead of the running candidates was a more slap-in-the-face vote of abstention, not a matter of ignorance.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
@Aerek and @Iocun: I've done this a few times before, and that was always my intent, at least. If I don't bother to read candidates' posts, I usually just don't bother to vote either.

Rave for Orklanishkal and Tanris. They keep us thinking, challenged and level. Can't give enough thanks for having people like them to play alongside.

Couple raves at once, being promoted and kicked a very very hard kick in the pants to get back into combat, makes me happy, hopefully I can get back to where I was, and then over the plateau I felt I hit which made me slow down and turn to other things.
And second rave is to the skillful use of denizens by the divine. It seriously is a forcemultiplier in my mind. There are a handful of solid events that have occurred in recent years in Cyrene, between The Muse telling Tanris he would give dancing lessons, to Graf showing up at concerts, or to the Caspeids running around Cyrene. Even Mordanyconus showed up to a Mojushai lesson and gave some interesting comments. It isn't to say that I don't love actually interacting with the divine, but this just makes me feel like there is more of them because the denizens act, respond differently and it's pretty awesome.
My new rave was the awesome way that Lady Selene just pushed Her mindset and Ideal on some Cyrenians...
the backstory was She was hanging out at Cyrene and I said I would try anything once.. with some thought She turned me into a toad and I was set to just hop and croak about. I begged my friends and my wife to kiss me, hoping to break Her enchantment... after much banter that I am a toad and covered in warts... much to my dismay I realized this was a lesson in Beauty and that it isn't skin deep and behind my toadyness I was still Rinzai..
with a gentle kiss Lady Selene recognized my understanding and turned me back, much to the confusion and new found understanding of the onlookers... it was awesome.. so subtle so perfect.

All this frustration and failure finally paying off. I legitimately won a spar as an Occultist.

That sounds awesome. For a lot of reasons. Need to take this opportunity and do like my fortune from the fortune cookie I ate today, "You will become a revered community leader." :P
I think it is good to pool resources and also helps open up RP, I know there a few houses now within patronage for IC reasons (even if I think those IC reasons are dumb).
My only concern is that it's going to kind of lead to a lack of distinctness in Houses.

Mhaldor's system so much better.

Heh. I remember Quazzi once made me go through the house posts for a personal task, and I stumbled upon one post that referenced Announce 1042.
Jaw-dropping, to say the least.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
I'm slightly suspicious, but it made me smile.

Hmm, raves...
Oh, my secret fan struck again, with an unsigned poem, making things slightly stalkerish.
Even better, I asked for volunteers for a project and actually got some. And none of them (as far as I know) had to be threatened!
