Found a gif recorder, recording some combat to show friends who don't know about MUDs, and getting an awesome crit within seconds of starting to record.

<gif>

Having 'kill troll' in it probably doesn't help to show how unique combat is, though.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Honestly I probably should have gone into the arena and done some PvP combat to show off legit curing (aka Vadi...). Still, they thought the descriptions were pretty cool, so I accomplished my task of getting their interest piqued at least a little.

Edited for a grammar issue

I was wondering why you didn't show up. You missed all the good stuff now you have to find me to find out what happened.

Kresslack

Murad polishes the steel with a fine cloth, inspecting the blade for any imperfections. Finding none,

 he turns and reverently presents the sword to you with both hands.

Murad exclaims, "I give you Striking Silhouette!" (-10m, 0.3%) 

wield sword

You begin to wield Striking Silhouette in your right hand. (-10m, 0.3%) 

p sword

Forged from a darkened alloy of the finest steel and gold, this blade exhibits a sharp curve along 

its length, accentuated by a shallow groove carved into the metal. The long tang is encased by a 

grip of amber sharkskin in an intricate diamond pattern. Rounding off the grip is a round pommel 

fashioned from emerald, affording perfect balance to this masterfully crafted weapon.

It has 250 months of usefulness left.

It weighs about 5 pounds.

It bears the distinctive mark of Kresslack.

You may use the following commands with this weapon:

Fedlimid proudly shows off Cruel Shadows:

Forged from a darkened alloy of the finest steel and gold, this blade exhibits a sharp curve along 

its length, accentuated by a channeled groove carved into the metal. The short tang is encased by a 

grip of blue cord in an intricate twisting pattern. Rounding off the grip is a square pommel 

fashioned from ruby, affording perfect balance to this masterfully crafted weapon.

Raves for Fedlimid's awesome new blade!

Are sword names getting better, or are people just no longer posting the ridiculous ones?

They seem to get a bit better, but they can still be bad. I got Seven Carp before this one....

A hint?

Chapel

On behalf of everyone, I'd like to rave on Chapel returning, and getting his new computer sorted.

 I already walked into the Leviathan, things are looking good.

Caoimhaen

Um yeah...Yearning Geckos was one I helped a novice make...we could not stop laughing...and then there was my dad's recently...what was it..Peaking Bees? Lol. Yeah no...you guys are just lucky

Kresslack

Shoutout to @Dragonknight for being patient with me and learning how to do some simple scripting, and for being a fun person to interact with in general, as well as @Saibel. In addition to @Verily, @Ruth, @Taraus, and @Lianca for quirky conversations and assistance with learning trade routes. Much gratitude.

Caoimhaen

Rave: transing tarot, occultist drama(you know you guys love to hate me ), and feeling like newb all over again all because I changed class.:P

Zii

Its nice to come back after raging and not give a shit enough to be helpful and RP-y.

Zii

I phrased that poorly.  I used to get worked up over shit, now I don't, I enjoy the game much more.

Synbios

Rave for @Ahanna. Having a new enthusiastic protege is great.

Thrindor

Thank you to @Melodie for being an amazing mentor, who I completely lucked out on!

Antonius

A huge, huge, huge thank you to whoever randomly bought me credits!

This is like... the Achaean equivalent of Penthouse forums letters. You want to believe it really happens, sometimes, somewhere, and the one time it -does-, it always happens to someone else :O

Someone else who is already one of the people in the game sitting on the most credits!

Could always make lemonade with all those lemons, @Katzchen

I have plenty of arties/credits. :P Not as much as some, but enough that I'm happy with what I have. Just laughing at the irony of what is basically the equivalent of a millionaire winning $100 on a scratchie ticket.

Nim

Anonymously buying random credits for people sounds fun, I would totally do that on an irregular basis!

Once they delete veils.

Kresslack

I'd totally get a hood if I could afford one. No to be hidden, just so I could know where all the main enemies were during a raid defense. Is there a Veil Club clan? There should really be a clan.

Eilona

My portrait is so beautiful! 

A female tsol'aa stands in a room clearly identifiable as the Central Hall in the Great Oak in Eleusis, a serene sense of peace portrayed in most of the painting. The tall, slender woman is drawn from the side with her head slightly turned toward the front, clothed in a beautiful dress of white silk lined with snow blossoms about the neckline and hem, the material covering her form all the way down to the feet. Her long, auburn curls are pulled over her shoulder to show the delicate lines of her pale back and shoulder blades, fingers brushing through the wavy tresses to ensure the hair retains its luster. A crown of woven flowers covers her head, and a pendant representing the forest spirits hangs about a leather cord around her neck. Eyes of mossy green take in the unseen surroundings of the hall, the barest hint of a smile on her lips. Unbeknownst to her, a shadow looms at the back of the oak, vaguely man-shaped, with a misty arm leaving the edge of the wood and reaching toward the woman with a clawed hand. 

Thank you so much to whoever did this and organised the quests, too! Mayaween in Eleusis is magical this year.

Aitox

Really enjoying the Mayaween vibe in Achaea:

A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume exclaims, "Trick or treat!"
A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume thrusts her hand out to you and begs shamelessly.

Draping to the ground and nearly tripping this little girl is a dark cloak of velvet lined with blood-red satin. A pale mask
fits over her face, bearing the likeness of the vampire lord, complete with a set of fangs fitted over her small teeth.
Carried in her right hand is a small trick-or-treat bag.

A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume exclaims, "If I don't get a treat, you get a trick, Aitox!"
A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume pokes at you urgently.

You give a jelly spider to a little girl in a Zsarachnor costume.
A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume beams broadly at you.
A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume exclaims, "Happy Mayaween, Aitox!"
Dressed in a Zsarachnor costume, a young girl stalks arrogantly out to the southwest.

And then...

A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume exclaims, "Trick or treat!"
A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume thrusts her hand out to you and begs shamelessly.

A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume says, "No treat, hmm..."
A little girl in a Zsarachnor costume rubs her hands together and grins evilly at you.
Dressed in a Zsarachnor costume, a young girl stalks arrogantly out to the north.

You hear the patter of small feet run up behind you. As you turn to look, a small white projectile comes flying toward your
face. You try to duck, but soon find yourself covered in rotten eggs!
A series of high-pitched giggles fades away into the distance.

Admittedly, I giggled at that.

Shirszae

@Eilona so envious of those portraits. They all look so great! 

As for me, my rave is that after 100 ic years, I am finally getting to understand my character and who she really is. I really love how everything suddenly start clicking all of a sudden. Also, a big for all the people I have been playing or have been having interactions with. Brief or long, if you played with me at all* recently, chances are you are included in the above! 

*pk does not apply 

:P

Dunn

Found a huge flaw in my herb queuing and prompt trigger that caused a stack overflow every time I had herbs queued and got >5 prompts. Put two to three second lag on everything until the stack cleared. I AM SO HAPPY.

Kyriella

Echoing @Eilona, a huge rave for the Mayaween portraits! I put in a few special requests, not expecting them to be possible, and the portrait I got back went way beyond what I had hoped for. Spending the 50 credits to make it non-decay was the easiest decision I've made in a while.
