You Might Be An Achaean If...

Given how much I've played Achaea as well as talked to Achaeans OOC, I thought that a thread like this might be amusing. Some of these will apply to you, others won't. What I do hope is that others post their own answers to "You Might Be An Achaean If..."

Have fun!!

You Might Be An Achaean If...

-Someone's nerdom makes you swoon, particularly when they reference Greek.
-You have actually said, "Berkana Surround", "In Strength", or "Light and Fire lead" when saying goodbye to someone.
-Your reaction to someone annoying you is to think, "I can cook them."
-You can't recite John 3:16 from the Bible, but you can quote all Seven Truths.
-You can't find your way to the nearest grocery store without a GPS, but you can get to Suliel from Orilla without a map.
-You can't throw a punch IRL, but you can describe and perform every step of a true lock in Achaea.
-You actually face the decision, "Buy credits or buy a decent burger?" wherein the burger loses every time.

Comments

  • You look at sick people and think "Might want to adjust your curing priorities".
    You look at Trump and dismiss him as "Aegean wannabe".
    You look at COVID and think "It could be worse.  Could be another Black Wave".
    You look at -OWWW!  Ok, I'm being raided by Mhaldorians, I need to shut up now.
  • You type "say" before messages on other chat platforms.

    You unconciously have said aloud an emote action while performing it.

    You have been looking for a friend in a location and the thought keeps popping up in your head of how much easier this would be if you could just prism to them...

    You alt tab anytime someone walks by because you know they're going to ask what you're doing and you'd rather not try to explain the nerdness that is Achaea or MUDs.


  • When someone says, "Oh, Winter is here," your first thought is like, did I send my foragers out yet?
    The Divine voice of Twilight echoes in your head, "See that it is. I espy a tithe of potential in your mortal soul, Astarod Blackstone. Let us hope that it flourishes and does not falter as so many do."

    Aegis, God of War says, "You are dismissed from My demense, Astarod. Go forth and fight well. Bleed fiercely, and climb the purpose you have sought to chase for."
