@Ashtan thanks for playing along. I know you guys have a lot of stuff to do right now, but taking a break to repel us a few times had to have been worth it. @Jhui please don't destroy my city tonight. I dunno if I can be around or not. ..
Yeah, I killed Achilles' falcon and got to repair a crapload of totems. Cheers.
You monster. Falcon killers are the worst type of people. Someone beat up on my poor Eideann too but she lived.

Oh, that was also me. If you're going to insist on some bird on bird action during these raids, I will always try to prove that atavians are the superior species.

Got raided, Ashtan's group got pretty big and we didn't really have many of our more experienced fighters. Things weren't looking good without some kind of prop/beckon or retardation shenanigans, but rushed and didn't draw it out trying to move guards for 20 minutes after they got sanction. I was okay with losing, and we got killed pretty bad, though we took a few with us. Raid ended right after that. Short, sweet, fun for both sides. Glad I didn't use guards, thanks for ending it quick when you guys crushed us @Jhui.
I suppose this post is a bit overdue, but in regards to some of the raids I was involved in defending over the last month or so, I give raves to those people who sanctioned their raids quite quickly when the sides weren't exactly equal number and skills wise.
It's a pretty classy move to do so, when you could just as easily keep on killing defenders so their experience keeps dropping each time they die.
You know who you are.
EDIT : Especially when once or twice, it would have been completely understandable if you didn't do what you did. So thanks for making it enjoyable.
I opened a new shop in Ashtan for all my recipes. Massive thank yous to @Kyrra for helping to make it a reality and to @Sybilla for help with the interior!

Your shop is my absolute favorite. Aside from Silvarien's flower shop it's the one I visit the most. I've spent so much on jewelry and food at the old shop that was in the northeast corner and I'm super excited about the new food shop...I ran there as soon as I saw your market announcement last night. Thanks for sharing your amazing recipes with the world!
Thanks for making my foray into Targossas a good one. I am beginning to understand why so many people say good things about the city and players there. I hope it continues.
So I discovered (like I probably do every year and just forget, because my memory is shit), that Achaean and I share a birthday (sept 17th). Somewhat in light of this, we had Mhaldor's trial of the shiprace tonight, and omg. It was intense, and fun, and intensely fun.
Also @Tahquil for providing an accidental but appreciated diversion
Also also @Kinilan for teaching me how to sailhow to handle weapons that sometimes being a captain means not doing it solo, but learning how to effectively handle a crew
Artanis apparently got off my ass to go sink you instead!
He was very disappointed, assuming I'm reading the CLT history right. He apparently decided against the final sinking because he thought it might have been Cyrenian and didn't want to be re-enemied? (Flying no flag, stationary, diving with nobody up top.)
Then it sank.

A bit late, but I just wanted to rave and give my thanks to the staff for updates to help scrolls, various fixes and a lot of additions. As a mobile player I've seen accessibility and gameplay skyrocket over the course of a year. I appreciate all the hard work! Thank you guys.
I'm not sure how he missed Tahquil's 'Ahoy' tell though. I heard it from Umbrin o.o
To be fair on Artanis I was only able to yell just before it gave the 'you're fucked. Bail out now' signal.
Though I find it kinda ironic that the pirates will take the time to yell and negotiate with a captain but Artanis will just sail up and start hammering darts into you without so much as a yell to figure out who the captain is.
He said he did hail and such, but you probably couldn't hear it while diving. Totally not sticking up for him, though. I don't like how he behaves on the seas.
I'm honestly surprised that up till this day, ship look still doesn't tell us who's on the ship. Like, you won't see people in cabins but you'd surely see people at the helm or on the nest. If there's no one there they're probably diving (or d/ced?) and won't be able to respond to your hails.
That said, the general player attitude to open/free PK areas is pretty awful and generally falls along the lines of 'just because I can' and tend to abandon all semblence of RP. If I'm down in UW or Annwyn and some big dude tells me 'get out/leave the corpses', I'd count that as an interaction and just leave. But when you're a lone basher and you get wordlessly rolled 4 deep by some bashing team trying to treat you like an extra large pinata, it feels dumb. It's not that they're 'wrong' because it's perfectly legal to do so and I chose to go down there, but it doesn't feel any less stupid behaviour-wise.

Oh, you can most definitely hear yells while diving. So many times I've heard someone yell 'AHOY!' from 'a great distance away' and I've scrambled to the deck and waited five minutes to make sure it wasn't directed at me. It just sucks I want from 95% hull health to 5% in what seemed like 15-20 seconds. It was just enough time for me to see the first hit of damage, scramble frantically in directions trying to find my bell, ship raise and leave bell, yell ahoy and spam SHIP REPAIR ALL.
Since I am a frequent forum user, I have been asked by several people to post how much fun the raids over the last few weeks have been fun. Win or lose (although I have to admit, the winning part is always more fun), people have been coming together in ways that I thought were impossible for Hashan. People will rant about them, but don't listen to them.
I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

I feel pretty stupid now. Thanks for pointing out the obvious!
Also, you know you get enjoyment from making me look stupid.

And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
