So, Gulliver's Travels should be beaten into the head of it's author, who needs to lean to use the fucking period.
Anyone else get the idea that sometimes public designs get deleted and we aren't told about it?
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Not even sure why people attacked poor Shaddus on Prime. He doesn't even raid or gank people

Now I know I KNOW that I always say things like this during the honeymoon phase before I suddenly tilt into 'this org is garb' mode, but...damn. Being back in Gaudi on my main just feels right. Maybe it's having the jade turned up to eleven lately that makes it such a profoundly comfortable change, but I can't recall a time in recent memory I had actual fun just being somewhere, talking to people I don't even know, playing the game the way I used to love playing it. Mmm.
The freedom to present my character as he is, to be casually fun AND unapologetically opinionated at the same time, this is what I've been missing. Some alt can get their groove on being prim and stuffy and full of regrets, Eri is home and I am ready to enjoy the game again rather than keeping up with situations I have less control over and far less patience for.
Also related raves to @Chirbo for showing that the Minstrels aren't completely hopeless as I'd feared, @Thayan for touching base with me and reaching certain understandings, and the wombo combo @Zarialle and @Zeleni for just being all around swell, even when I'm cavorting away from optimistic groundwork into a den of debauchery, literally everything I had lead Eri to stand against as a character.
A WHOLE NEEEWWW WOOOOORLD...bye Felicia.

Crumkane, Lord of Epicurean Delights says, "WAS IT INDEED ON FIRE, ERITHEYL."

With a deep reverb, Contemptible Sutekh says, "CEASE YOUR INFERNAL ENERGY, ERITHEYL."
I find it mildly amusing that I left Gaudiguch about the same time as @Eritheyl, returned the exact same day as him, and apparently have reached largely the same conclusions.
The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!
What? Even Gaudis have manservants now? I need to get myself one.
They're all me.

97% of the time I'm like 'WHY AM I EVEN TRANS AETHERCRAFT'
And then aetherflares go off and I'm on a ship bombarding a ring, and other ships are all warping in, and I'm like, yeah, I'm a fink, this is what finks are for.
(Magnagora): Cocidius says, "Is anyone besides me and Yarou participating in this even?" (Magnagora): Shango says, "Influencing? All yours." (Magnagora): You say, "I'm not sure. All I know is EVENT SCORE is super discouraging." (Magnagora): You say, "I'm trying my best, though." (Magnagora): Seritul d'Vanecu says, "One cannot succeed unless one first tries. You have done more than many, young one."
To the admin who encouraged me, thank you so much I was having a shitty night and that remark went a long way towards making my New Year's alright rather than a total flop. Thank you.
I want more of this sort of stuff, also. More Divine interaction in Magnagora c: I know Magnagora isn't a favorite roleplay spot among the admins, but I'm determined to try and change that with Yarou. Pleaaaaase?

I just read this because I saw my name.
I'm glad someone thinks that I'm not conducting a trainwreck >_>

The hamster hunt yesterday was great fun too. Hope we have more of these.
