Rave for @Ourania for making my dreams come true with house rings again. And for designing them and making them look amazing. Oh and patiently explaining how to add powers to positions in the house since the current Shadow Matrix is a complete noob and doesn't know how/doesn't have jewelry license.
Also a rave to the Warlocks and @Ryldagh for being exceptionally fun as of late.
And Murry Logosmas to everyone else.
YOU'RE WELCOME FOR SHARING ALL OF MY IDEAS WITH YOUR NOOB SELF.
ohmygosh you're right. And thank you so much @Jonathin for giving me a LOT of awesome help and advice for things to do as HL. You're A-okay, bub.
What is this, pick on Cyla day? No. No it's not. It's Christmas eve. You should be in the freely giving me help and advice spirit. JC isn't too please right now.
BUT TO CLARIFY, thank you to EVERYONE who has given me advice, wisdom
and insight as of late. It DOES NOT go unnoticed, but to list EVERYONE, I would need a thread dedicated solely unto you. But obviously your collective egos are already so massive that having your own thread would cause the forums to implode. Now see if I rave again any time soon. Hmph.
Rave for @Tharvis and dragging my sorry boring butt out and making me rp. Lol
And @Aedin for frienemy arpee. The part where you try and be nice and I act like a cold and hard bastard and threaten to take your head off. Then you get into my psych like a creeper. Always fun.
Took a Serpent House (at the time, every Serpent House was bottom 5 in Influence, which is a decent showing of activity) and made it interesting enough that it spent multiple years at the top of the rankings .

I wish I could describe my terror when I first withdrew a hefty amount of credits yesterday. So afraid I was going to accidentally make them bound to me in a freak accident. I figured if I did that, I would just go ahead and take the rest out and quit the house to make it look like I was just stealing instead of messing up the syntax. Seemed like a cooler way to go out.

I don't think it would be classified as stealing. House bonus credits were intended to go to the current HL. Not sure if they've ever publicly said that wasn't OK anymore.
Rave for @Amarillys , @Tharvis , @Daslin. You guys get a rave, but also a..what the hell as well. Lol You guys and your messed up, but awesome rp.
Pfft, I'm riding on their coattails! Barely have any idea what's going on >_<
If you think she's kidding, I assure you, she's not. Edit, about knowing what's going on.
Yeah, no, they're all just allowing me to play with them and then basically keeping me in the dark and having random mood swings that end up torturing my character while they treat her more and more like some puppet/playing card/pawn (though I'm pretty sure I'm super close to getting queen'd! (prolly not...)) But hey, it's super fun!

They should consider bringing this back into play to at least some degree. The original system is very much in play over in Imperian, and these people generally do quite a bit of actual work in both games. It sounds like it was never officially changed here, but over time, as "nice" GMs sold credits to the rest of us at very low prices, it clearly became *expected* that they would always do that - so much so that I never realized that things ever worked any other way. I wouldn't be against something that simply awarded part of my online credit purchases to the GM as bound credits, for example (so that they wouldn't feel any social pressure to donate them to the House/City - although I realize that also limits their flexibility in general).
Eh, I never really saw it that way. House credits are there to help the House, not the House Leader specifically. You can 'sell' them to the House at cheap prices, that's what House credit sales are for. Giving them to yourself then selling them to House members seems pretty selfish. There's enough to spend gold and credits on for the House that taking away House income for yourself can stunt House growth pretty spectacularly, and is a good way to make people talk about you taking gold/credits behind your back, another good way to mess up a House. I think I spent ~4.5 million gold in 2-3 months buying changes and upgrades for the Shadowsnakes, there are plenty of ways to gold sink to boost the House if you look.
That being said, small bonuses to yourself in credit sales are simple, small, and are more than enough. Still benefits the House to some degree because you're still buying from the House.

Rave for all my Targossian friends. Regardless of my leaving, you guys have been so supportive and I thank you for that. @Iskla, @Aelios, @Alekxz , @Tibitha, @Kaiu and whoever else I might have forgotten.
Bluef wasn't really involved in a lot of Logosmas festivities, so I have to thank and send a rave out to @Ryldagh for including her in the Warlocks party this month. @Erhon put together a fantastic riddle hunt and the drinking game was really creative and a lot of laughs. I really appreciate this opportunity to get all dolled up in formal wear, meet and spend time with new people, and do something festive IC.
