I got to see Vayne display humour today! I've never been about to see that before!
... that must not really be Vayne. Defense mode activated.
Akward explanations about my thought process ensue...
(The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "Hmm... what're you up to, Eotir?" (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Eotir says, "I'm currently reading about Nurazar." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Valentinus says, "Excellent." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "Ah, I see! I'll let you read that, then, and when you're free I'll prod your knowledge for a bit!" (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): You say, "The author of that book does not know what he is talking about." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "Hm? What book exactly?" (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): You say, "The one on Nurazar." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Eotir says, "Indeed." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "The one in the library?" (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "Do you mean "The Nurazar Saga: The Rise and Fall of a Planet", Vayne?" (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): You say, "Yes, that pieces of fallacious garbage." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "The one you wrote?" (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): You say, "It was some fool named Vayne, if I remember correctly." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "I suppose I must be doubly a fool for appointing that jerk as my second, then." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): You say, "You should feel ashamed." (The Crown Institute of Alchemy): Hellen says, "Oh, aye. Mayhap I should fix that..."
Hellen tells you, "Seriously though, you are just fooling around, aye?" You tell Luminary Maiden Hellen, The Philosopher, "No, completely serious."
You have been dismissed from your position of Council of the Primes of the clan The Crown Institute of Alchemy.
You tell Luminary Maiden Hellen, The Philosopher, "Hellen..." You tell Luminary Maiden Hellen, The Philosopher, "I was joking."
There will be no emotions within this Institute! We will replace our bodies with pure science and ether itself and ascend into higher beings! Humour has no place outside of bodily fluids!

I genuinely had no idea that anyone outside of Cyrene gave a shit about who I was, never mind thought positively of me, lol. So thanks. You guys really made my day.
More specifically, big raves to @Ruth and @Mhaldor for scaring the shit out of me after I decided to enter a random portal that I was sure was @Hasar's (and I was right). I was expecting to take my time and apply, but apparently that wasn't in the works. Appreciate the welcome!
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
@Tirac, for so many things, but above all the ending today. Really gave a huge epic feel to the conclusion that would otherwise have been just another raid.

Hashan just wrapped up a yearlong Festival that was the first major event I'd ever had Valkyre try to manage. I was really, really nervous with how it was going to pull off, especially with the rather inauspicious beginnings at the start of the year.
But man, did a lot of players, through their characters, do a lot of hard work to make sure most of the events went off well and fun. @Bambi did an amazing job running smaller events throughout the year, making sure the city members who didn't feel comfortable with some of our themed or gold-costing events had something to do. @Verily, @Eiredhel, @Vayne, @Hellen- all of you guys put in a lot of extra effort to do some of the biggest events we'd had- Eiredhel's already talked about hers, but wowsers was I happy with the Order events we'd gotten.
@Lacertix and @Aoghinius ran events for the city as well, taking time out of their days to organize auctions and run fishing trips.
But you know who really knocked it out of the park? @May and @Eisa. Seriously. Hashan held a Ball at the end of the Festival, and they really put it all together. Me? I got super-busy with work and a wedding and other nonsense, but they managed to keep things organized and kept Valkyre on track with what he needed to do- and no doubt they were busy enough with their own lives!
I'd also like to thank all the Targossians and Mhaldorians who didn't raid during the Ball. A few knew what was going on and, as players, chose to respect the hard work done by other players and let them put off the event without being jerks about it, even if it would have been RP-justified. That, my friends, is what makes players advance from being just great RPers to being great all-around Players. Thank you.
Just a few others...
@Ayleth, @Sarieno, and @Tharvis for helping with Organizational issues and keeping Valk's head on straight throughout the year. @Zekk for putting all that work into the decorations (that, sure, we ended up not getting- but you put in the work, man!)
You know, as a player (and with the way I've done Valkyre's personality/ethos) I haven't exactly been happy with the direction of Hashan. Tonight was awesome, though, and it's one of the reasons that I'm happy to have returned to the realms. Thank you everyone for all your hard work. Just awesome.
Also, Targ almost raided investigated your ball after that mysterious darkie ritual incident (which looked cool but we are still rolling our eyes and scratching our heads at it very hard from our end) happened. We were totally thinking about it. Ashtan (allegedly) said "leave them alone guys" just in case we were going to and appeared right then to raid us.
It was a rough two days hours.
At the end of it we (ok I) still had a lot fun (I'm up 5%) but everyone was so worn out that we either forgot or just didn't feel like raiding Hashan anymore.
So kudos, A-team.
AND HASHAN THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS FOR JERKS KEEPING OTHER POSSIBLE JERKS FROM BEING JERKS.

Because we are now trying to beat all the whining out of Hashani. It's great. Now if only they'd let me ban anything that shows thighs and belly buttons and we'd be good to go.

Ah yeah, that's democracy. If you annoy too much the ordinary majority, and do not encourage the mediocrity of your electors, you'll lose your position.

Achaea is expansive enough that you can go from one place where you fear nothing and be in another place thirty seconds later where you'll get eaten alive by an aggressive denizen.
I like the feeling of finding a new area and glancing or squinting into every next room because I could run into some kind of extra-dimensional frost demon or maybe a goat.

Just wait for some one to prone some body(another monk, a blademaster, a magi, or a good fashion trample or tail sweep.)and lol bbt or mind throw people into totems and lol bbt. :P Monks for the win. Or or! pull off a d-bombwhen you them all off ...oh but thats monks isnt it.
I've been contemplating quitting the game in its entirety (..oh, who am I kidding?) going dormant for a little bit, but lately all the RP interaction I've been receiving from novices or random people or even Divine have cheered me up considerably, especially when irritating people become irritating.

Aurora the best. "Ask the city if anyone has an objection. And if anyone does tell them they are wrong"
Datrius convinced me to not let my racetrack tickets collect dust, and on his first set of suggestions, I win 1273 credits. Time to go artie shopping!

Welcome to leveling through PK!
Bashing does give you a reason to explore areas and enjoy Achaea's written content. If reading's your thing, I mean.
Very much this. There are some seriously awesome areas out there. Like Morindar.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
