Achaean Raves

I ate 100 blueberries at once a few years ago, to confirm whether or not they provided some tiny bit of sustenance as some people claimed (they didn't).

I used to use them as hidden anorexia checks, before I realized you could just try to eat a vial.

Perfect for while on the topic of blueberries. If you don't watch it. You're missing out.

All this talk about blueberries is making me hungry.

This hurts my head. Should bug it!  I bugged that you can no longer feed them to someone and it got fixed a while back. Turns out our wonderful admin have not given up on nature's gift to us.  Could possibly bug the fact that they no longer grow too, but I kinda like rare stuff.  They are like lifestones, but better.

So I feel like I got a new toy to play with. It's p awesome @Austere  I just need to figure out more about it to incorporate it better.

I don't even know what I did, but I support! Just hoping you didn't hack my dropbox and get my super op, mudsexor 3.8 script.

Is that the version that includes the foreplay subroutine?

I don't seem to have that one.

You're male, you don't need it.

Need to run a full update on you later, then.  Few minor bugs with the gui download script,  and a few miss spelled words. Reports of Ms.PleaseSelf() being called too much, but I can't seem to replicate.

I've been lurking around here ever since someone linked me Kythra's thread. Figured I'd join the fun by raving at some people who been helping me grasp this rather complex game.
 
Tesha: I lucked out, as everyone has confirmed for me, when I chose her as my mentor. She's like a big sister that is as perfectly willing to take out her mace and bash anyone bullying me as she is to try and find me a wife(pls send halp).

Kythra: Anyone that wants to criticize Kythra OOC is saying that they'd prefer I'd have quit the game in frustration. More than anyone, she is responsible for my progress in a combat system that I've really enjoyed exploring. Plus... she's fun to chat with and whine to.

Naix: My troublemaking partner's patience is endless. We've started like three wars(fine, raids) together.

Greys: He somehow managed to help me try mining, and even succeed at it. He also got me to try boating.

Raves to everyone that has killed me today. Nine of you, to be precise. Thanks for helping me grow!

I've been getting an overdose on family RP lately between all the time I get to spend with @Kythra and the random appearances by @Alakardaiel and @Dairon. All three of these people have just been so encouraging and inspirational, and I really treasure that during the times when life seems to lull a bit.

A lot of small conversations with @Ariettie take me back to when I first started playing Achaea and things were so amazingly good. I sometimes find it hard to believe that an entire lifetime of stuff has happened between us and around us, and we're basically back to where we started but in a new home. It's really, really nice.

The Vanguard has just been so amazing to be a part of. I went through such a terrible experience when the Runewarden Guild existed and it really put me off the concept of Houses because I always assumed that I would just be putting in 110% all over again and just going nowhere. Having gone from being one of the most prominent rogues in Ashtan to being an Irreverent of the Nemesian Vanguard just seems so surreal. I never really expected to be a part of a House, let alone one with such a strong focus on combat, but I do have total faith in the people that have faith in me to do well and succeed. It's been an awesome challenge so far and no matter what people say, @Seragorn and @Jinsun have been fabulous to work with.

And @Tharvis for the late night shenanigans when I ought to be sleeping.

Things just seem so busy lately but it's a good sort of busy. I wish I had the inspiration to work on my mansion because it's such a massive project that I don't really want to neglect, but it's going to take me ages to finish. I've made up awesome floor plans, I basically know the purpose of all the rooms, but when it comes to the actual designing of the room, I kind of wish I was playing Sims to just mess around interiors. I know it's going to amazing when it's finished, but my lack of patience wants it done now. I love that I've got something to look forward to, though.

Seeing Aurora in the background on the main page every time I log in. Never noticed that, but that's rad.

You get Aurora? Weird. All I get is creepy red eyes staring at me. Sometimes they blink, too.

Aodfionn

Yeah, either Aurora/some other god or the mean-mugging dragon seemingly each time.

Datrius

Soon as a certain player logs in, Datrius will be debt free. I vanished with the debt there and though it was beyond my control, it wasn't fair to the people who helped and it wasn't right. I made it my number one goal to repay them as quickly as possible. I'm happy to say that not even 2 full weeks after returning, I've achieved that goal through roulette. So I'm happy about that.

Kyrra

@Fendrel is back!! So much squee.

Silvarien

Found this graffiti outside my house in Jaru:

Rocky roadside.
The stars shine down from the sky above, bathing the arid land beneath their silvery light. Some
graffiti has been scrawled here. It reads, "Watch out for the tiny doves filled with murderous rage.
" An obsidian eye sigil is here. Lying flat on the ground is a key-shaped sigil.

Whoever did this: you rock.

Ariettie

I was so surprised and pleased by all the work put into the new Fayre last Mayaween and I kept hoping it would be around again this year. It did not disappoint. The plushes that are around this year are adorable and the monstrous journal is absolutely amazing!

Thank you for all the design work that goes into Mayaween every year. It's more than appreciated!!

The past two nights have been a blast.  Got to fight Ashtan last night and Mhaldor tonight.  

Raiding vs @Jhui always scares the piss out of me. Obviously we got extremely lucky a few times, since we tanked a room. Had four people travel in for destruction, so the odds look amazingly one sided in our logs, but having been there, I am very proud of my team.  Rarely do I get to walk away from a Jhui fight with a victory smile (I always smile, just not from victory.)

Defiled vs @Xinna tonight.  Always fun, since I think we both have mutual entertainment in mind, and are both willing to bow out when needed.  I was really worried you guys were not going to respond at first, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out.. Didn't get to completely wipe you guys any after the first shrine, but we went kill for kill there a little bit.  Focusing was definitely our main problem, I think.

Very nice touch using variations of people's artefact pets/mounts for the skeletal mobs. I see Bonko's mount, Arditi's chameleon, and a few others tucked away in there.

Make a skeleton ghost crow (lol) the end boss of the tower and I'll love you forever.

Bonko's mount is a copy of a creature that already exists in game. I didn't do this halloween stuff so I dunno but I would assume it's a skeletal/ghost version of that mob rather than Bonko's pet

I saw something in my G+ feed last night that made me think, "is @Darktalon a Xoran?"



(source: http://diceanddungeoneering.blogspot.com/2015/10/quicky-conversions-dark-talon-champions.html)

I asked him if these were good representations of him in his Xorani form to which he responded, "I don't know. They're not using walkers or canes to get around!"

Halos

That second one looks crazy strong. More like ormyrr maybe

The critters are skeletal versions of the ones you find and tame in a Tournament of the Fang arena event. Including the ridiculous blackout times, aeon, webs,... and probably a few other critters too! I remember winning mine because I stumbled on a chameleon that spammed aeon on people, and everyone using svo wouldn't cure it! Good times.

It's probably what I call the "Mussolini camera angle" of the portrait. Everyone looks bigger and meaner if you have to stare up their nostrils.

Listening to the Silent Hill soundtrack while hunting the Azdun Catacombs adds the perfect amount of uncomfortable, creepy vibe I was looking for. I might find soundtracks for others area like this to make bashing not so tedious. 

A nimbus of fire and smoke surrounds you as the Righteous Fire bestows upon you His Truefavour. It 

will last for 2 Achaean months.

Thank you @Zuko for holding an event that would make it more fun for me to achieve my goals. @Deucalion for giving me what I believe was my first TF, thank you. @Tibitha for grinding long, hard hours with me and making it a really enjoyable experience. @Anedhel for making Healing possible, and the rp I get to experience with you and your family is always enjoyable. @Siduri for always going above and beyond to help me, and be there for me when I need a friend. Great job @Aesi and @Elawien, and all the rest who kicked serious butt in this competition!

Siduri

@Lavakhi - Really enjoyed hunting with you. Hope we'll keep it steady-ish to dragon

Getting a TF at 98 was probably the most beautiful thing that has happened to me.

It has been nearly a month since I've been back from dormancy ( Facebook Achaea dragged me back) but I've been having a blast in Eleusis and Heartwood. A complete restart of city/house/class was definitely what I needed to raise my spirits, and the people there have been very engaging without too much silly dramatics. I never thought I'd feel this again, and maybe in six rl months I'll be like 'I hate all of these mfers', but right now I'd like to give a rave to Eleusis.

Gurda

Rave for @Ashtan during them raiding Mhaldor. They could have killed me easily in order to kick off the raid, but they all, every single one, chose not to! @Lala even handed me her mass vial to use, and @Dunn unblocked. I'm not level 30 yet, and my entire curative stock consists of... a health vial. I'll get more, but still.
