Honestly last time we did ret Hashan wiped us like 4-5 times so idk why that'd even be considered an insurmountable obstacle. That was really fun because both sides were constantly rushing back in, and idk why that was different than this other than okay we left for a while. You'd have probably not burnt out if you didnt all sit in the exact same room for the next 30 minutes, we usually go do whatever else if the other group isn't back by 10. Just don't go bash like Eirenwaar and you can just head back immediately, especially if you're a dragon (which Hashan has lots of!).
But w/e, like Saeva said just ask us to leave and we usually will. We were already about to leave before we were asked to since there was no real interest beyond someone sniping our newbie out, it seemed (and that's okay, they're raiding! But don't complain our group is insurmountable when we have a newbie who's just learned her skills there too, lol). Someone just happened to get displaced before we had the chance to.
Yeah, sorry for causing the delay. Kiet was trying to help me with a chat window script because I miss a ton during raids.
Raves for everyone's patience while they waited for me!
Give us -real- shop logs! Not another misinterpretation of features we ask for, turned into something that either doesn't help at all, or doesn't remotely resemble what we wanted to begin with.
Thanks!
Current position of some of the playerbase, instead of expressing a desire to fix problems:
Vhaynna: "Honest question - if you don't like Achaea or the current admin, why do you even bother playing?"
I also rave because I don't have to deal with this.
However, in war, there is no fairness. War is war, death is death. 1 side tries to kill the other side and vice versa. Being part of Cyrene defense back when Mhaldor and Ashtan (*RIP) raided constantly, we grew used to the times when we had no chance because of the tactics and numbers of the enemies. At times we were able to mount a defense by gathering the numbers and using the tactics available to us, other times it went horribly and I spent most of my time praying for salvation. *Shrug*
Sometimes you do have to concede defeat (or have the honor system of dying uselessly over and over).
The other side could take the ooc decision to make the playing field more even and allow funner conflicts - but it is never required and shouldn't be expected.
When did Cyrene ever not have a chance because of numbers?
To be fair, the reality of the Cyrenian Zerg Rush is kinda new. We've always been a big city, but until third-party systems became the norm (Mostly Vadi Sys and its successors) a majority of Cyrenian players stayed even farther from combat than they do now. They'd turn out for CTFs, but it wasn't uncommon for Mhaldor and Ashtan raids to outnumber the actual defenders in raids, back when Goryllin was last playing.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
Hashan has been going from strength to strength lately. We've lost a few people along the way, but gained as many or more, and so much enthusiasm for all areas going on in the city right now. Love it.
@Kryger you are as always my right hand man, always there right behind me. Usually with a dagger poised to stab in my back, but y'know, you have to take it as it comes.
@Swith you had better get your arse back to Achaea sometime soon. Good luck with the new job, you'll rock it!
So many others, hard to call them all out! @Kasa, @Regi, @Ehene, @Jukilian, @Ignika, @Kaillian and everyone working hard for the city right now, appreciate the spark you bring! :bleep_bloop:
@Auri, @Sayora, @Rakkaro, good proteges make being a mentor so worth it. Thank you!

I was silently racing @Finkle there all the way. Every morning I logged in he had chewed up my entire lead and the hop would start again.
I laughed when I saw this because I was silently racing you for part of it too. I think it helps motivate you to keep going after hours and hours.
It also made me feel less bad about spending so much time online hunting to know someone else was doing it.
As Finkle would say - We did did did it! And as he said to someone who won't be named who lied to him. Someone told me me me there was endless bread at the gare!

I actually did not realise you went Ashtan, so I would watch rankings and see you jump and not see you on CW or QW and wonder what the hell was going on, if you were off plane or if the rankings were slow to update. Thought for most of 97 I was racing a damn ghost until I honours'ed you and my name highlighter updated.
Raves to @Ysela for being a good sport with my bounty earlier today. Came to gank her and my system instantly crashed for god knows what reason. I told her what had happened, and instead of taking advantage of that to finish me off, which she likely good have done, she let me get out, fix the problem, then dueled me to finish off the bounty afterwards. Good sport
I'd threaten you for hitting my daughter, but i'm not allowed to follow through on my fatherly shotgun instincts
Yes, as long as it's only hitting and does not escalate to hitting on I think we better keep you reined in.
And while I'm here, why not a rave for Mhaldor? Everyone I interact with regularly (and even those I only talk to now and then) seem to be great people OOC and are very interesting people IC. Quality over quantity
Had a good day of fighting with @Kiba and @Atalkez , thanks dudes

Whether in Aetolia or Imperian or Achaea, I've been IRE-ing for roughly a decade. In this time, I have had the great privilege and joy of getting to interact with a lot of really awesome people and see some really cool things. The Wintermournes are far and above the most fun, most interesting, most rad and most immersive thing I've ever had a chance to experience personally in my time playing IRE games. @Kiba@Quisse@Antidas@Tibitha@Tristyn@Tvistor@Hanley are the best. I would not still be playing after all this time if not for y'all.

Holocaust King, bb
doesn't matter, that was an impressive holocaust, 1942 would be proud.

Rave for a few younger Luminai who aren't on the forums but are so cool and into doing stuff.
Rave for @Kiba for giving my family roleplay a new, promising dynamic.
Rave for @Tibitha because she's my girl, and we have SO MUCH FUN together.
Rave for @Will for making my tasks look easy.
I could rave about a ton of people, because my Achaea pals are the best. @Carmell @Rohai @Halos @Kyttin @Lereas @Elawien @Aodfionn @Aurora @Deucalion @Targossas @Luminai
(that should make up for the non-ravey posts!)
@Kryger you are as always my right hand man, always there right behind me. Usually with a dagger poised to stab in my back, but y'know, you have to take it as it comes.

Heathens beware! Ye shall know no rest from torment, for the Slavegoth shall be your undoing unto eternity!
Ancillary raves to @Saibel and @Kiet (THE RIIIISE OF INSID'KIET) ... Ok, that doesn't sound as cool
And while I'm here, why not a rave for Mhaldor? Everyone I interact with regularly (and even those I only talk to now and then) seem to be great people OOC and are very interesting people IC. Quality over quantity
