    Finally got to 104. Sold Dragon Talisman pieces for 150k and noticed CFS is still high. Completed a bounty and wrote a customisation for a sword with @regi's help.

    (Party): Mezghar says, "Stop."

    (Ministers of Cyrene): Ariete says, "Hiiii momma!"
    (Ministers of Cyrene): Ariete says, "Oops, mis."

    You roll on the floor, laughing.
    You roll on the floor, laughing.

    Kandra tilts her head curiously.

    You tell Ariete, "ROFL ROFL ROFL."

    You say in an all-consuming, frosty voice, "Sorry.."
    You say in an all-consuming, frosty voice, "MOC channel."

    Ariete tells you, "Imma smack you."

    I've spent way too much time on the game here recently so I had to find an outlet. I found my outlet, and I feel evil. I think I'm in the wrong city.

    Been having trouble with Ashtan's (relatively) new hub in Petra. It's been a couple months (RL) since we've finished it but we had some warps go missing every once in a while. 

    Woke up today to have all but 4 warps gone. 

    I think I'll buy a splicing jewel today, bah.

    I'd say it's totally worth it imo.

    Yeah, splicing without it takes way too long. I did most of the hub without it and it took days. 
    Also, just noticed that the 4 I just spliced today (with the 4 that was remaining) are now gone, with 2 left. 

    I think it might be a bug. Thank goodness, I was beginning to think someone was an giant asshat

    Not worth the trouble, since said person might get pissed and cancel even more warps!

    It's a sad situation where two people, in cooperation, of one specific class can splice one wormhole but any one person with high enough survival is skilled enough to destroy it. I would imagine it would be reasonable to have only serpents be able to create and destroy warps.

    I have always had once question about this. Klingons had normal heads in the original episodes than got some disease that made them look how they look now or something. But, when you go back in time to before Kirk they have ridges on their heads. Explain.

    The divergence is also explicitly hinted at in the DS9 episode. Moreover, Odo, Bashir and O'Brien don't even recognize the TOS Klingons who are sitting next to their table in the bar on K-7 as Klingons:

    Bashir: "Those are Klingons?"
    Waitress: "All right. You boys have had enough."
    Odo: "Mister Worf?"
    Worf: "They are Klingons, and it is a long story."
    O'Brien: "What happened? Some kind genetic engineering?"
    Bashir: "A viral mutation?"
    Worf: "We do not discuss it with outsiders."

    The disease is what makes them look like they do in TOS. They have the ridges otherwise. TOS is just not as fleshed out because it was so young and the canon was not established fully...also the effects budgets for the original show were not enough to do more beyond painting some skin orange.

    This is why you have bronze colored space Russians in TOS...and badass warrior race people in TNG. Though in my opinion, the Klingons really come alive in DS9. I am a huge DS9 fan..because Sisko is willing to get down in the shitty gritty world of Star Trek...while Picard lives in a damn post-scarcity utopia world. The farther you get away from Earth and Vulcan...the more likely you are to run into real suffering like the Bajorans lived through.

    Also bat'leths are stupid.

    You start to wield a curved sword of shifting shadows in your hands.
    5504h 4474m 100%e 100%w XX|EE M br07:26:41.077
    The body of Wellspring Initiate Auri Greywind appears in a flash and her soul descends to fill it, 
    causing the previously expressionless face to fill with emotion.

    Auri rubs her hands together greedily.
    5504h 4474m 100%e 100%w XX|EE M br07:26:41.384
    A grand blade of blackened glass curves wickedly along the entire length of this ominous two-handed 
    sword; the deep obsidian facade interrupted only by a pale hilt of carved horn at the base. The 
    surface of the weapon writhes gently as adumbral tendrils snake across its razor edge, leaving a 
    trail of screaming shadowy faces in their wake. The blade is tipped in a cruelly hooked point - no 
    stab made by this sword comes without causing liberal amounts of collateral damage. The haft is 
    wrought from aged satyr horn and engraved with a cascading set of ridges, which narrow as they make 
    their way down towards the nut-sized pommel. Partially wrapped in crocodile hide for increased grip, 
    an ivory-toned quillon is worked from the crossguard down, providing protection to the hand of the 
    wielder.

    Thanks for the help with it @regi just one more figurine to use up now

    I have this already, so hopefully a theme is starting

       ring344220          a ring of shifting souls
    Jewellery:

    5504h 4474m 100%e 100%w XX|EE M br07:28:09.462
    Expertly crafted from a single piece of oak, this thick-set ring has been hand polished to show the 
    fine grain of the wood snaking across the surface. Embossed with ridges which run along the outer 
    edges, there are four small squares of glass embedded into the ring's surface, blending effortlessly 
    into the ring's design. Under each glass square, there is an ever-moving blood-red swirling mist, 
    creating the illusion of shifting faces.

    Not all conflict is about raids, and killing.

    Destruction of an enemies means of transportation? That's conflict.

    But you're not -just- destroying your enemy's means of transportation. You're destroying your own. And that of people completely uninvolved in the conflict.
    Huh. Neat.

    While I'll disagree and say it is a mode of conflict, I'll add on I think it's one of the most boring forms. More so since there's plenty of people (like myself) who can't really be involved due to no investment or ability to use it.
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking

    Hi
    To be clear, I'm not the one doing it. 

    I'm just saying that it is absolutely a viable means of creating conflict/harm/annoyance to your enemy. Is it dickish OOCly to waste peoples time? Sure, but no different than a shrine. Still takes you 10-15 minutes to get enough essence to raise/defile one - which iirc is about the same time as a splice?

    The idea that conflict isn't conflict if it affects more than just your enemies is... uninformed? To say the least.

    Ehh, bashing for 10-15 minutes is a hell of a lot more interactive than pausing your system for 10-15 minutes, though.  Wormhole splicing and cancelling so boring, any conflict they create is bound to be just as boring.

    There are plenty who consider shrine conflict boring, myself being one of them!

    Lots of things happening recently, if not exactly today.

    The slaves are kept on their toes by the ongoing Crucible which @Kiet is handling very well. Ysela has mostly been involved in guiding and reviewing the work of @Helewys , @Ismay , and @Saira , all of which are very pleasant to interact it.

    Ysela was also made Viceroy, which will be a very interesting challenge. It definitely gives me a very good reason and justification for letting Ysela develop into a more assertive woman, which will be a fun process.

    And then there is the reappearance of @Nocroth , who is now Ysela's disciple. We'll see who learns the most from that mentor-disciple relationship...

    EDIT: and yeah, this is not the raves thread, but raves for all of the above + @Aegoth@Taraus @Watchman @Taraza @Saeva @Melodie @Zimona @Aesgar who keep Ysela's life interesting in different ways (and I probably forgot someone.. sorry!)
    Everytime I see your avatar I think of Android 18, and then I crave to watch some Dragonball Z, so I'm going to Rave that whenever @Ysela posts, I pick a random dragonball saga and watch, and while I'm off sick, today will be the Cell Games saga :D.

    Also, bashing up corpses can be done by anyone/everyone. Splicing requires exactly two serpents to sacrifice 30 minutes of their playtime to create something that ideally benefits all. It's not like we're creating offensive warps for war. 

    Shrines are built to create conflict. Warps, however easily cancelled they are, have a better purpose than that. I agree it is justifiable as conflict, but its stupid AF. 

    P.S Shrines alert the order members, warps simply disappear. As of right now cancelling has nearly 0 consequences and can be done by anyone with survival. We say the writ system is bad, but splicing and cancelling seriously needs a second look.
