Can't stress that Cyrene has really picked up massively, and this is a ridiculous showing at willing to engage to kick people out of your City. Put that retaliation tank to good use and push our shit in please, I look forward to the fire returned our way
Cyrene has always defended with pretty huge numbers I think, as long as they have a leader to lead them to the room. If you can actually enemy all the defenders, you are already ahead of the norm.
Yeah...I strongly suggest not even attempting to debate the newfound love expressed. Nodding along is far less troublesome.

Cyrene usually had some very stalwart, "fuck defending!" people, and the new blood of the city has been getting in as well, not summoning guards and just gumming in hard and having fun. They don't hold hostility on an OOC level and have not been upset about a raid in a donkeys age. Every city can take pointers from Cyrene's current attitude and apply it to themselves, IMO, and that is laudable.

That's fine but not what I was expressing nor going to get into it.

You felt the need to comment, if you didn't make your point obvious enough that's on you to clarify, not me. The baseline of your comment comes across that people aren't allowed to appreciate the actions of other players unless they meet your personal, rigid outlines first.
When I came back to Achaea, I didn't really know very many people anymore. Saw a couple of familiar faces and names, but for the most part it was a sea of new faces and people, and as a character and a player, being outgoing and meeting new people has never been a strong suit of mine. Hell, one of the benefits of being a pirate was being able to force people to interact with me! I kid, I kid.
In all seriousness, getting involved in Achaea again was a struggle. I had definitely burned some bridges in the past, and I spent a lot of time feeling as if my character, which I am very invested in and attached to, had run its course. There are many times I thought about retiring and just starting fresh with something new. I'm glad I never gave into those urges.
Since getting back into it, I really have to step back and appreciate the people, and the groups, that have made continuing this journey so worthwhile.
Most definitely I have to thank the Grand Merchant Collective, and the wonderful members who have become like a family. Having been a part of it for a long time now, I can say they are without a doubt one of the most supportive Houses I have ever been a part of. The opportunities it has offered, and the friendships that have been forged, have been amazing.
So too has my experience been since returning to Cyrene. While I know Cyrene has always had this reputation of a cuddly, overly zealous PDA displaying carnival, I've come to see and experience a completely different side of it. It is a very supportive community that, while may not always agree, always manages to come together in support of each other and the city as a whole. The transformation it has undergone, especially following the wake of the Tsol'teth invasion, has been extraordinary. I think the current climate of it, finally standing up to outside influences in the land. It has been a refreshing change of pace, and I am excited to see what the future holds for this city I've come to call home.
It's also a large part of what led me to something I never thought my character would end up doing. Meeting someone with whom he enjoys sharing adventures with, and getting married. There was quite a turnout, much to my surprise, and it was a very memorable service. It's great to have a partner in crime.
Also, the Beverages and Shipfitting skills seem like a lot of fun! Getting involved with them and looking forward to seeing what comes of them and can be done. These are indeed exciting times.
Was legit not my intention. I can absolutely promise he didn't leave because of fines, though.
It's easy to forget that most people don't know the background info that makes comments entertaining rather than mean. I struggle with that a lot myself. Thank you for clarifying!

I understood it because I know why Israyhl really left. I guess it just looked different to people who didn't. But Israyhl did like the post. It was just a joke about the happenstance timing of his departure relative to the fine.
Though, I would think Israyhl's post immediately preceding Jiraishin's would've made that clear tbh.

Yes, the real reason I left is my character's growing concern over the migratory patterns of sea birds, not due to fines.
I do enjoy the speculation over the full reasons why I left! I have heard quite a few generalizations and simplifications. Some more accurate than others, but nearly all of them generated without a single interaction with myself.

New theory: it's the fault of @Olisaphet's seagull. That seagull is such a jerk.

Congratulations to the winners of the first September design contests, and rah for anyone who entered! I was a bit floored by the results. The amount of creative writing in Achaea makes it hard to look away from. I'm excited to see the winning designs be modelled and displayed, which I am totally doing.
Also excited to try all the new drinks from @Taryius's Holocaust Distilleries and @Trey's Chateau d'Adwimar.
