@Jhui being the world's sorest winner. @Verrucht being all BRING IT BITCH.

Zure! (@Vastar for being v. intriguing and awesome)

@Sillias and @Paik's hilarious performances.

All the Bardds for providing insanely awesome House RP and fun, but especially @Perl and @Phelia for all the work they've been putting in lately.

Gotta do something with these 8 tfs!

no soreness involved, just some conflict that a lot of people can participate in and hopefully have fun with.

Hopefully.

Morthif

last night was a lot of fun, tonight probably not so much being down those 2 rooms already.

Dunn

Executive decision was that we're taking a break for everyone's sake tonight.

Unless you're really wanting a raid.

So regarding banners and REFLINk are the rewards actually being given now? I've personally walked three people through signing up that I know still play and I never got my reward @Tecton @Makarios ?

Same here.

They did. Never got my credits. (I even bought credits -for- them, just to test, and never got anything. Neither with their playtime)

Should be all working! It's all handled on the IRE side of things, so I'll double check with the website team!

@Verrucht's reply to @Jhui's post was pretty awesome, I gotta say. Made me smile.

There's a reason @Verrucht‌ is the Imperiate.

I miss @Verrucht's sassiness in raid defence. No one could ever quite cheer me up after a bad raid as he could. Huge props for the great post.

Zii

@Nimala @Orzaansyn @Nadria @Taraza @Nocroth @Sartan

The recent public posts by Jhui, Verrucht, and Siduri have all been really well done.  I remember when I mostly avoided reading any of the nonsense posted in the public news, but these posts are gems among mountains of dung.

Alexandre

And like that the quality of the public posts is diminished by a reply that isn't needed.

Siduri

@Alexandre: I like your mention of @Jhui, I think @Verrucht and I would not have been able to compose this had he not made this very threatening post before. I mean, I had read this, but couldn't reply, and I was like aaaarg!

Then Verrucht beat me to it, but my reply was already written. So, kudos to Jhui for starting it!

As for Hirst's reply: I don't care. It just proves I'm doing my job right.

@Siduri Your religious polemics are pitch perfect!

Thanks! Sometimes I'm a bit hesitant, because English isn't my main language, and I'm often afraid of inventing new words by trying to evoke ideas native to my mother tongue, but it seems autocorrect is a boon to spot these little crazy bits!

Alexandre

For English not being your first language you're doing leaps and bounds better than a lot of the people I went to school with.

*with whom I went to school

(see? it's even harder than you thought. kudos to Siduri)

But wouldn't that imply all of them rather than some?

It is incorrect form to end a sentence with a preposition.

Rave: I log onto Kuy, and suddenly I'm teaching a Deacon how to fight, talking to the delightful @Nocroth, and being told I've been talked about by @Saeva and @Melodie.  All these things gave me happytingles.

Saeva

@Kuy we like you. ">

That's a fair and valid point, but it still sounds weird to me when people do it.

I've always thought ending a sentence with a preposition was very conversational, while going out of one's way to avoid it always sounded a bit stiffer and more formal. In that sense, it really depends on what writing style you're trying to evoke.

Saw a novice I nursed along from day one take a newer novice under his wing today. D'awwed so hard.

edit: I swear it wasn't three days ago I took him to arena the first time and spent like an hour working out how to make an alias to balanceslash/strike sternum in the html5 client and today we had this discussion:

Me: How are you?
Him: I'm good! I'm hunting those places you said.
Me: Great! Going to be the youngest dragon ever?
Him: No, I just want to be level 60 or so so I can take (other newbie) hunting once he's out of Minia too.
Me: SO PROUD.

Nah, "a lot of the people with whom I went to school" would have the same meaning as "a lot of the people I went to school with". Both are perfectly proper English, but a lot of people subscribe to a rule (invented by John Dryden in the 17th century based on his own ideas of how the language ought to be, and adopted overzealously by generations of pedants since) that ending sentences with prepositions is somehow wrong. Those people generally don't know about what they are talking.
