  Hosted my first big event! Did a Mhaldorian pageant that turned out pretty fun, imo, and  we had a pretty big crowd despite my concerns. Congrats Medi on winning!
  

  Congratulations on finally hosting your own event! It is always so stressful to plan something and wonder if anyone would participate in them. The idea of Mhaldorian pageants feel so weird though... Is it like that fashion show that was held on Meropis?

  Found the most flattering pictures of grooks that will ever be seen by mankind. 
  
  All hail the new era of muscular grooks... The new sirens of sapience. 

  How ribitting, ol' chap.

  I have experienced the most weird anti-raid attempt which I have seen until now. Since Magnar is not a combatant, I don't care much about fights in Achaea. However I wanted to defend the city today. We were like 10-15 people in anti-raid team. Raiders were just 3 people and we attacked them with only 2-3 people from the range. Rest of us just sit back and expected not to die. However most of us died and raiders succeeded. And when I asked that why did we attack from the range with a few people instead of charging with whole team, I got a response like "because they attack from the range" from someone.

  I have seen that happen so many times when the defenders are being overly careful. No one wants to be the guy who dragged a raid team into a melee that they ended up losing so people play it too safe some times for fear of being blamed. But the best way to overcome that is to step into those situations and learn from them if you fail. And to do it a lot. I remember dying from being walked into a totem or retardation by all the great raid leaders Mhaldor have had. It never made me think less of them because hey, that is battle. Sometimes you get it wrong. The only time when I have ever gotten frustrated is when people are paralysed by inaction, even though I understand their reasoning.

  Agreed, I have way more respect for and way more fun with leaders who take action and go for it. The worst thing is when a leader makes you wait around in a room while everyone gives their opinion and no one takes action. Dying is not a big deal, it is a game after all.

  Haha no, people had to dress up but most of it was like the miss universe portion where they ask for opinions/speech ability. I'd post the log but it came out pretty long and I didn't save the html log!

  a pure silver tiara fit for a princess
  
  

  Made of pure silver, this tiara looks light and fragile, giving the impression that it might break 

  on the slightest touch. Although there are no jewels set on the metal, the simplicity of the design 

  makes it appear even more feminine. It gives its wearer a look of a true princess. There is a small 

  sigil of an ice bear engraved on its surface.

  Engraved on it are the words:

  
  

  ~ Miss Mhaldor ~ 704 AF ~

  
  

  It bears the distinctive mark of @Taraus. <-- Best mom award goes toooo

  Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 93.

  You have reached the illustrious level of 3rd Order of the Hyperphysical.
  
  Its all downwards easier from here, right? I'm halfway, right?

  Unable to withstand the arrow piercing your chest, you stumble to the ground as darkness overtakes 

  you.

  You have been slain by Antidas.
   Will raid and blow up three of your rooms for this. -brandish-

  The 90's for me went by at about the same pace the whole time until level 96. At 96 I definitely felt like I hit a wall. 96-98 felt like the same pace.  I wasn't tracking any numbers, but I bashed the same areas from 85-99. I may have just gotten burnt by 96 though so who knows.

  Kayeil's slightly younger brother @Humbold showed up today! He hasn't been here since before Shallam fell, he was a Sentaari blademaster. Helped him get his blade and a few things. Hoping we can get him oriented enough that he'll stick around since he's still at the "maybe" stage. Was a nice and unexpected surprise.

  What doesn't kill you gives you exp.

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

  You have reached the illustrious level of Greater Dragon.

  A small pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

  (svof): Your max health increased by 49h/0% to 5151.

  (svof): Your max mana increased by 41m/0% to 4359.

  
  

  Didn't break any speed records, didn't arrive fashionably late, definitely glad to be done with all that grinding for the sake of grinding bullshit.
  
  Special thanks to my boss for turning a blind eye at my multitasking between working and bashing while on the clock. Also to my wife for not understanding, but respecting a grown mans desire to stay up late at night staring at a monitor in order to become a fire breathing text dragon!

  Congratulations on Dragon!! Also, which class' bashing attack is that?

  With a final strike of the hammer, you finish forging the leather armour.

  Your eye for detail tells you that a tempered suit of durable leather armour cannot be refined any further, and has reached the maximum level of perfection that may be achieved with it.

  You are now a Grandmaster Blacksmith - one of the finest smiths alive.
  
  Yay

  Huh, is your rift full?
  
  I thought anything in your vials was supposed to go into your rift when the vials decay?

  Completed the Maelstrom figurine
  
  Short: a figurine of Captain Maelstrom
  
  Drop:  Staring off into the distance, a figurine depicting Captain Maelstrom stands here.
  
  Long: Rendered in miniature and standing barely a foot high, this replica of Captain Maelstrom bears an aged and weathered look to his carved skin, the crags and valleys of a long life at sea etched meticulously over every inch of the face and hands. A long coat covers broad shoulders and a stout chest, while a pair of trousers ends short at the left knee to expose the wooden peg-leg that extends to the ground. About his neck rests a diminutive bronze pendant, the finest detailing of a rearing hippocampus just barely large enough to make out.

  Initial set-down:
  You set a figurine of Captain Maelstrom on the ground, and its limbs begin to jerkily twitch as it animates.

  The ringing of a ship's bell sounds clearly as a swirling mist consumes the figurine of the aged Captain Maelstrom. Suddenly, the bow of a ship crashes up through the mists, the animated form of the captain leering down from its rail with a gruff shout of greeting.
  
  Attacks:
  

  A figurine of Captain Maelstrom pulls a ballista-styled hand crossbow from under his coat, quickly firing a bolt towards a figurine of Gruul, the Overlord of Arn's gut.

  
  

  Drawing a cutlass in one smooth motion despite his age, a figurine of Captain Maelstrom sweeps the blade towards a figurine of Gruul, the Overlord of Arn's legs.

  
  

  Drawing back his fist, a figurine of Captain Maelstrom unleashes a punishing smash towards a figurine of Gruul, the Overlord of Arn's crown.

  
  

  
  

  Dodge./Parries:

  Whipping his cutlass before him deftly, a figurine of Captain Maelstrom parries the attack with ease.

  
  

  A figurine of Captain Maelstrom raises his peg-leg high, sturdy wood catching the attack and driving 

  it to the ground harmlessly.
  
  OW THAT HURTs:
  

  Swaying backwards dangerously, a figurine of Captain Maelstrom bows under the assault before steadying himself with his peg-leg.
  
  
  

  
  Special bonus kill flavour:

  Stepping back, a figurine of Captain Maelstrom points towards a figurine of Gruul, the Overlord of Arn and shouts a command to some unseen party. The faraway creaking of an onager sounds seconds before several large boulders slam into a figurine of Gruul, the Overlord of Arn as the victorious Captain turns and swaggers away.
