Bought credits, then signed up for the Elite Membership, instead of doing it in the opposite order and getting the 10% credit purchase bonus. Sometimes I want to kick myself.

Message Tecton or email credits@achaea. Those guys are usually badass about stuff like that if you catch it quick!

I'll echo these sentiments.

It's great that the admin will respond so quickly to emails asking to fix a blunder that was my own fault. Thanks for the 10% bonus!

Had an interesting exchange with a new Hashani coming over from Mhaldor. He compared Hashan to Mhaldor which ruffled some feathers, but his argument was actually pretty solid and eye opening. @Celaus

Learned to sail some, went on first trip with @Lala...

Our planned destination was to go from Thraasi to Ageiro...

...We were both surprised when I somehow managed to take us all the way to Tapoa instead.

She had to gare to go assist with raid defence, so I figured 'sure I'll take the ship back!' - followed the same course, ended up docking in newhope instead of Thraasi...

...At least I didn't sink the ship?

Kiet · February 2016

How did you end up in new hope instead of thraasi?!

Tahquil · February 2016

He's a special kind of special.

Ryzeth · February 2016

That same way I ended up in Tapoa instead of Ageiro?

To reiterate: At least I didn't sink the ship! First time sailing at all, gimme a break

I love the idea of the frost pail, but I have to admit this one from the neat pail is pretty much a winner:

Opulently appointed ship bow.

Brightly white, the various lines from the sails are drawn tightly around gleaming winches here, the pristine and sturdy ropes vibrating ever so slightly as the wind blows past them. The waist-high rails that run the length of the ship on each side join here precisely in the middle, intricately scrolled woodwork creating the illusion that the beams had grown together while they were alive. A large, scrubbed winch fitted with a long chain takes up much of this neatly planked and ship-shape deck, the shining chain connected to the great anchor that rests against the boat when not in use. Unsatisfied with the merely spotlessness of the vessel, every free surface upon this bow bears some sort of decoration. Verdigrised knotwork vies with carven visages, even the running grain within the planking showcases extravagantly monstrous and fantastical
creatures

Kayeil · February 2016

Damn. Seems like the neat pail had a lot more work and thought put into it.

Melodie · February 2016

I dunno, having all three pails now, I'm finding different rooms have the better descs depending on what you use. Course, seastrider is a whole other ball game in general, but it still seems to apply.

That said, that is one sexy desc.

Rangor · February 2016

Poor shipmates. Having to rescrub the floors over and over until @Melodie finds thw shade of wood she prefers on her deck.

Melodie · February 2016

They all lived when my whole ship was infested with the plague. They don't mind a little back-breaking work for a Captain who looks well after them!

Kayeil · February 2016

Got to go sea monster hunting with @Greys earlier.

He's a lot nicer, patient, and kinder than my previous teacher. We had lots of fun and took down several monsters!

Prior to that I got a megalodon trophy to put in my glass bottle (I really like megalodons). Though had I just waited... since Greys and I killed 3. ha. I will say the bottle is kind of cool, but also a bit underwhelming. I feel like it has a lot more potential and should have more reactions to different emotes, but I can see that might be a lot of work since there's what... 20 sea monsters? Either way, it's not a purchase I regret, but it's not as exciting as I was hoping.

This game is all about teaming now, and it sucks.

Has anyone posted the frost?

Skye · February 2016

Winter glazed side deck.

Just slightly lower than the main deck, the side decks provide a slippery walkway for passage between the frost-laden bow and stern, as well as a breaker for the great waves that may crash over the sides of the wintry vessel. Held upon stakes beyond the rail, a thick rope offers a necessary safety measure to crew upon this perilous deck. Further endangering the sailor, great icicles drip and form upon the braid and occasionally fall with a crystalline crash to litter the frozen planks with sharp shards of ice.

Slick main deck.

Spanning from just in front of the cabin to just before the bow, the main deck is an enormous, ice-slick space. The three massive, frost-webbed masts of the ship rise up like gigantic, winter-bound trees from the shining deck, hundreds of lines and rigging trailing down and carefully tied down to their proper spots. Nearly thirty feet across at its widest and perhaps forty feet long, this area is the treacherously slippery centre of activity for the crew running the day-to-day business of the ship.

Snowbound stern.

Slightly curved along the transom and raked aft, the rear of the ship is well made and could likely withstand even a full broadside bombardment, despite its blanket of frozen, pristine snow. The large rudder blade is visible near the waterline, heavy with blue frost, although the mechanism that turns it is concealed within the body of the ship. similarly glazed, a tall rail runs along the edge of the deck, designed to prevent anyone from falling overboard but perilous thanks to the lick of the ice. When the wind gusts, the snapping, fluttering sound of the rippling ensign cuts through the chiming tones of icicles smashing as they fall from the rigging overhead.

Ice-laden ship's bow.

A frigid gesture blankets the intricate carpentry that joins the beams to form the prow in a wintry caul. The glistening, pristine vista makes for difficult working conditions, as each line is weighed down by frost and each block and pulley finds its mechanisms encased in ice. The sweeping lines of the hull drop down to the ocean below, the prow's intrinsic efforts adding to the decor as each cut wave casts more brume aboard.

Frost-rimed quarterdeck of The Duchess Bellatere.

Glistening with a crisp layer of frost, the quarterdeck is the centre of activity on the ship. The bridge rests slightly raised here, the magnificent wheel for steering, now glazed a crystalline blue from frozen spray, rising out from the deck. The great ropes and pulleys, attached and assisting in translating the moves of the pilot into movements of the rudder, have turned into thick garland and blocks of ice.

Ah yes, lets copy/paste part of a conversation out of context to make me appear like an asshole. You should be a politician! For those wondering, Ainly decides to randomly attack me at clouds for no reason other than I'm infamous. We fight for a bit, move into the reaches, each run away a bit, and I eventually kill him with darkshade. He keeps attacking, so I evade out to heal up, then evade back in and begin re-hypnoing because clearly he wants to keep fighting. Esme comes out and is watching and he begins attacking her while I'm hypnoing, apparently because she attacked him earlier. So to recap, he's got me attacking him, and now has attacked Esme, so she's attacking him as well. All of this is happening essentially right outside Targ's defendable in the reaches, which is our version of Mhaldor's isle. He runs, and sends me an OOC tell that, if I recall correctly word for word was, "this game sucks". Sue me if I don't exactly feel bad for someone who intentionally instigated combat with two people at the same time, and got upset when they both started attacking him for it! So yeah, I told you to cry more and f- off because you brought it all on yourself, and then contacted me OOCly in tells to complain about the consequences of your actions a moment later.

But, by all means, keep on spreading out of context comments I've made. I'll enjoy debunking them all

If you don't want to get teamed, ask for duels rather than just randomly attacking people. You ask someone for a duel, I will personally kill anyone who tries to interfere. You jump someone (for the context of this analogy, someone who's in my faction and I actually like), I will jump in to defend them in a heartbeat unless they ask me not to.

Esme · February 2016

Ya... I asked Antidas if it was consensual and he said he could handle it so I just watched. Then you started attacking me for some reason, so naturally I fought back. You brought everything on yourself. I didn't even chase and I certainly didn't instigate, but I'm not going to sit there and let you hit me like 6 times even if you happen to be fighting someone else. Of all the reasons to complain. @Ainly

Farrah · February 2016

Speaking of "duels"...

Atalkez told me Jhui and Mizik wanted to duel us 2v2 so I went with him to clouds. While we were waiting for them to be ready and before anyone said anything about fighting, Jhui put up deliverance and Mizik snapped me to kick it. Ok.

We come back to duel anyway after I'm rezzed, kill Jhui, but Jhui didn't think our kill was fair so he kept fighting after burst until they eventually killed me.

We rematch. Same thing. Jhui dies. Jhui keeps helping Mizik. I die.

And... Jhui can burst what? Four times? I think I'm just going to not duel certain people anymore.

Melodie · February 2016

Pssst, even if made in jest @Jhui, you know alt speculation is a no no!

Achilles · February 2016

@Antidas is probably the biggest softie in Achaea. @Ainly doesnt know how to Achaea from what I can tell.

Mizik · February 2016

@Farrah great fights!

Howdy, Stranger!
