I did probably one of the stupidest things Achaea saw today. It started off very well. I was playing roulette as usual. Ended up betting 18k on 00 (Was doing 10k before, each time on 00). Won 666k or something like that. Decided to let it role and keep betting on 00. Did not pop up a single time in all of that. So I burned through a total of 1.1 Million gold trying to get more so I could pay something off. I swear Croesus started cheating after that win.
Fulfilling day, indeed.
I was just doing some creative sculpting....idk why you guys hate it so much
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
RPWHO!
Plus lots of people joined the new Taverns clan set up by @Nylith. I've met so many awesome roleplayers looking for interactions there already!
Also this was formed: CLANHELP RAW - Gathering those who are shunned from the cities and Houses of the realm, or who spurn their overly-principled natures, this clan encourages members to live outside the norms or controls of Achaean society. Gypsies, thieves, tricksters, mystics, wayfarers, orphans, knaves, beggars, hooligans, tramps, scallywags, buccaneers, renegades, and like souls are among those welcome in this space.
So much amazing RP stuff happening. Can't. Contain. My. Joy.
Album of Bluef during her time in Achaea
Slowly getting culture back on its feet - despite a few hiccoughs.
Holy shit that .gif is gonna give me nightmares.
So uh... is defile, witness, kill defiler, yield writ, kill person again like... normal?
Writ wasn't yielded.
Oh. I thought yielding just meant moving the writ from org possession to player possession. Still shitty tho
Actually the very opposite.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
yep, better be able to deal with the consequences when you're defiling. You're the one that brought the conflict on your terms.
they need to put a waiver somewhere where it says "if you defile you are probably going to get wrecked multiple times. Think before you drink and defile."

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
Defiling means you're saying to -everyone- in that organization, "Please come kill me." You're insulting their God and erasing the essence they've built up for Them.
If you defile, you will die for it, probably twice. Just accept it as part of the deal.
Idk, it just feels crappy to me. There's no room for the casual PvPer. Like, you can do this one thing to get some conflict, but you're gonna die multiple times for it. Makes it super hard for the lower-ability groups to climb into bigger conflict, because you'll just get griefed out of it.
Achaea isn't for casual PVPers.
Because I'm scrub
Defiling isn't for the casual PVPer, it's an open invitation to anyone in that order to come and fight you, sometimes two deaths is the result of that. Ask for a spar or duel if you only want to fight on your terms and only when you want to. It sounds like that's what you want, and defiling isn't the way to achieve that.
Because you're submitting yourself to being jumped on their terms. Something a lot of people can't overcome.
You tell X, "In the name of <patron Deity of choice>, I challenge you to stand and face your doom, for your crimes."
Defiling isn't the only way to get someone to fight you.
If you can't handle the consequences of defiling, then don't defile. Simple as that.
So I didn't defile today, but I did get involved in a skirmish between Eleusis and Mhaldor. Even inflamed someone to death.
Its not that simple though. That's assuming you live in a perfect world where no one breaks the rules or griefs. What should the consequences of defiling be? 2 deaths per attempt? 5? Open PK to the Order for an hour? A day?
How can you ever expect to bring a new faction into the mix when its an uphill battle the whole way?
I'm sure whenever the order feels vindicated is a good place.
Or you could try your hand at the three or four other methods of fighting that won't result in you getting contracted.
Also I don't remember so many people using the word "grief" to describe things which are very clearly not griefing.
'Griefing' nowadays, is basically someone dying to something they don't like / not getting something done their way.
