Achaean Raves

Sucks I have to work e'rrday for the next week to finish a CP case with has over 3TB of data with close to a million images that need manual review.

I *MIGHT* be able to pop in long enough to try and keep up but I hate that I will miss likely the majority of this Aegean/Shartai thang

Exelethril

CP = cheese pizza?

Ellodin

yeah, obviously. manual review goes something like pepperoni, cheese, pepperoni, vegetarian, dude this is a hoagie...

Child pornography. I work w the CT State Police as an analyst/examiner.  Most cases are a laptop or two and the scripts take 2-4 days.  This was 4 hard drives, 2 laptops, a desktop, 50 DVDs, a few thumb drives, a phone, and a tablet.  Scripts have been running for a month already. 

Exelethril

So you're not a pizza analyst for a pizza investing firm, after all.. even had you tagged as one of the cooler legless Achean players.

So this is the first time I've used the forums. I always try to tell everybody how much they mean to me, but it's always worth saying again. I'll cover a few names here since I doubt I have time for all of them. If you're not mentioned, I probably still love you bunches. @farrah You know this, but you are one of the main reasons I got so involved here. Also the main reason I have so much fun and continue to log in everyday, thanks pal. @atalkez This guy addopted me. I have no idea how he justified this action to himself, but best fake dad ever. We need to quest together more! @talamond Talamond is someone who on top of being a great friend, slapped me until I started doing actual rituals and more involved roleplay. Best decision ever, I'm glad he abused me into shape. @deucalion I only have Imperian to compare this too, but I love Order interactions so much more here. They are both terrifying and so much fun. I can't give you enough praise, and I know volunteers definitely don't get enough, so thank you. @ictinus You troll me excessively, but I still love you. Something about abusive relationships being hard to leave. But in all seriousness, you've made some of my favorite areas and quests, and our conversations are fantastic as well. Thank you for everything you do, and for putting up with me!

Surreal. Still hasn't quite sunk in yet. In my 10 years of playing Achaea I honestly never thought I'd be a Dragon. And for that I can thank @Crixos and @Chiam for being the main two to cajole, bully, prod and nag me to hunt when they found out I'd been sitting on 92 for RL years. 'You're online. Why aren't you bashing?' They dragged me along with them at all hours for RL months on end. I wouldn't have been able to do it without them - that is definite.

Many thanks also to @Iakimen and @Minifie for taking me hunting, and the Nithilar clan for your constant encouragement. It was a pure stroke of luck that so many of you logged in just as I was about to do the ceremony, but that made it better.

Kiet

what the. in my head you were a dragon all this time.

Athalos

First time I've used the forums as well... on any character. But I wanted to show publicly how much I appreciate everything people have done for me, you guys are wonderful when you want to be. @Minifie for being great banter, and one of the chillest people I've met, @Nadryne for being an amazing friend and great company, you're such fun to talk to. @Xandir for being a voice of reason in a sea of echoing toxicity, I hope those sips I gave you got you the xp you needed in the last greathunt! @Kasa for being well... Kasa, keep your hyperactive combat advice going man, you make Hashan what it is, @Sholen for being so supportive in those early months I joined Hashan, and encouraging me each step of the way. @Carlyle for your ideas, @Lii because you were a great mentor when we used to interact (and hopefully will in the future!). @Ashmond for introducing me to some critical combat ideas, and being my first real introduction to 2v2 combat, I loved our dynamic. @Oblive for letting me sit and murder you time and time again, half my combat wouldn't be developed without that. @Astarod, because the A-Team shall take on every city with our terrible combat tactics and constant slamming of doors (looking at you Targ). Let's keep motivating and raiding/skirmishing until we're actually good at it, and thanks to @Farrah, @Kriex, @Talamond etc... for putting up with all our messes we probably can't even call raids. Lastly, @Josslyn, for being the amazing woman you are. Let's take over the world, girl!

You guys have all made Achaea come alive for me, and I'm glad you're here. There are numerous others I couldn't include, but you guys know who you are!

In the past few months I've gone from someone that knows nothing about combat, and has never killed someone 1v1, to someone that knows nothing about combat, and has killed at least -two- people 1v1.  In all seriousness, I've evolved so much over the past few months, and you guys are why. I'm hype for all the raids and shenanigans we continue to run. Hashan has been great, and whatever anyone says about it, I'm so glad I chose it.

And not least... @Twilight, you being active has inspired me endlessly, I hope you continue to be and I'm -so- excited about any future interactions, you're the best.

Kayeil

@Jurixe -- wow had no idea you weren't a dragon! Congratulations, that is great!

For my own rave, 365 days to the day that I started putting together a deathcape I finally completed mine. Thank you to the seller who sold me the final piece, you are my hero and made my day! Today is also my grandpa's 78th birthday, so a good day all around.

Taryius

I cannot possibly give enough raves for the events that have lead to Taryius' numerous deaths! It doesn't get said enough but all the Gods are just amazing at what they do, and bringing a great experience for us all.

Ankhareoutef

It's been good, friends.  I'll miss all of you, and I'll always cherish everything you've done for me.

Mathonwy

It's been almost ten years, but better late than never, right?

Summoning your malign power, you direct a twin assault of the curses bleed and bleed at A nervous

acolyte.

You point an imperious finger at a nervous acolyte and blood begins to flow from his pores.

You have scored a CRITICAL hit!

You have scored a WORLD-SHATTERING CRITICAL hit!!!

With his dying breath a nervous acolyte utters a vile curse at you.

Your hearing is suddenly restored.

You are confused as to the effects of the venom.

You have slain a nervous acolyte, retrieving the corpse.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 99.

You have completed the Ashaxei's Brood resolution! Congratulations!

I've come a long way from having Lianca lead me around Arcadia to get Logosian. Thanks to everyone who's helped along the way, but especially to @Crixos, @Chiam, and @Hataru for helping to keep me focused on the marathon from 88 to 99.

Rangor

I thought you killed the Babel acolyte at first.

Mathonwy

@Dunn would murder the hell out of me if I did that

Dunn

I don't think you'd ever want to log in again, my dude.

@Athalos I laughed when @Kriex was like:

Seriously though I agree, when you and I started doing our crappy raid tactics (get sanction and then get obliterated by @Farrah
and company [ @Mezghar, @Talamond, @Aralaya, @Issam, @Xandir, @Xaden and many many more] ) it just makes the game that much more fun. Even more so when Targ is so... they're not exactly supportive, but they certainly have given me an air of refreshing combat where it feels that even when we lose, everyone has fun. Thanks again for being so awesome!

Solnir

Thanks for the welcome back, @Athalos or @Astarod whichever it was. Made me feel good someone noticed I hadn't been around. :P

Mathilda

you were gone so long you were highlighted as Eleusian by SVOf @Solnir

Hey  not my fault someone in your grpup had it triggered to auto shut door.  I literally had my enter key held down for a good minute or so until they turned it off. I did however make my snipe alias include opening doors. So that was a plus I guess

Astarod

  I finally beat @Mezghar today!   

2018/05/03 03:43:59 - By the authority of Relentless Astarod Blackstone, Gauntlet of the Night, Mezghar dies having suffered the ultimate betrayal.

He still killed me once (in between), and afterward, he and @Karren (who was watching) still were totally civil. this is why I like TARG!! Dueling, Sparring, the whole affair. @Xandir @Xaden @Ryzan and @israyhl make the list too. I should call this list... 'people I'm not salty to die to'. Does anyone else have a list?

Thus far, you.  Admittedly not a duel, but I was looking to fix some things in my curing, and you weren't an asshat about it. 10/10 would jump in Moghedu again

Rant goes to my work wi-fi.  I don't know for sure but I'd say it's getting much, MUCH worse with the drops and lagging out.  Been having to use my phone as a hotspot just to connect but I'm almost out of data so can't anymore

Kriex

I have a list. @Mizik @Sohl @Astarod @Ajoc @Mathonwy @Dunn are all people I would take a gank from and not be salty about. The first 5 because our duels have been entertaning and cordial. The last one because I him

Dunn

Oh, good. I’ve been holding it all in. 

...are you ready for it.mp4

Kriex

Dont worry. You know I got you at the next reunion, so do your worst!

Xae

Something small, but I got back into PVP for the first time in about 3 years. And though I felt like I didn't do that well, I still managed to win a duel!

Glisan

Raving about the Eleusians. The skirmishes we have been having the last couple days have been extremely fun. Noone is playing the numbers game too hard and we have had some really good fights!

Cailin

Raves back @Glisan for the "Good fights" comment outside the cave. That kind of attitude always makes fighting fun, whether we're winning or losing!

Israyhl

@Dunn and @Strata, on my side. Awesome fight guys, some of the most fun I've had in a bit. 

@Farrah, @Mezghar, @Solnir - thanks for being good sports and coming back with different strats. It was a fun 3v3 all and all!

One day I'll learn how to pally. 
Today is not that day, though.
