  • My feedback for Neos for anyone interested was: http://pastebin.com/SFQGWdw8

    Rough summary: Leave mists/sheens for envoy cycle. Adjuvants bad in 1:1, consider targetted versions wi…
  • If someone was able to buy out 44k grain then yeah, I'd agree that it was likely the Trade Minister's fault if they're now short. Though if they had a massive stockpile, then 44k being bought from available stock might be nothing to them.

  • No. The timewarped damage will hit before the vampirism scene will have a chance to fire, and so vampirism will only happen on subsequent damage inflicted in that round.
  • I really like the little bits with Naenia (the palm up thing especially). Those small actions make for a really vivid picture. Thanks for posting these! :…            </div>

  • (Quote) While it's not quite a weaponaura, I've recently made another draft for an Aeonics ability that benefits Sentinels. Report 996. Let me know what you make of it, or if you have suggestions for alternate ability!

  • I think too much of myself comes across at times, but in my head I like to think of Ushaara as a tragic hero, and very much his own worst enemy.

    Rather than simply being 'a man of his word', he believes 'a man -is- his word.' This …
  • (Quote) Haha, I don't think anyone else has played a xenophobic elitist quite like Llesvelt.
  • Woo for Adracunin, Eria, Unicron, Ilirth, Llesvelt and all the other Sentinels who've been around lately. Woo activity!
  • The Hallifaxian Gemcutter Song

    I sleep all night and I work all day.

  • 1) For combat, aslaran is pretty much the go-to warrior race, but like every other class, if you're not a complete min/maxer, several others are fine. I was adamantine lucidian for ages and did alright.

    2) I'd say Pureb…
  • More plaid!
    Oh, it no display. No more plaid!

    Aha! Plaid restored!
  • Never had an issue with them myself either, but for a potential solution to the 'highways aren't safe for the non-demis who can't tank their hits' posts, would flagging them to become aggressive to people who stay in the room they're in for say, 3 s…
  • The Hallifax 'Let's steal Chaos from Celina, lol' plan got as far as a scent before being aborted, but woo, the flurry of activity was fun! :) in Lack of Raves V: Stark Ravin' Glad Comment by Ushaara November 2012

    I struggled through Crime and Punishment, but am now reading the Brothers Karamazov and liking it. For another Russian one, I'd recommend Solzhenitsyn's 'Cancer Ward' if you haven't read it.
  • Report 687.
  • As Phoebus said, though we came close to it, Celest rejected our offer of non-aggression. As best I recall, I left the negotiations saying "Hallifax still wants this, so when you're ready come talk. In the meantime, since Celest has continued to att…
  • Igasho Crampons - eliminates/reduces balance loss on scaling.
  • I don't know how to multi-quote on these new fangled forums, so fake quoting ahoy...

    "I don't think anything that's been suggested really makes it "harder" to keep a domoth. I think it makes it more tedious and…
  • (Quote) I am well aware that Hallifax isn't in any position to get and keep a domoth, nor is likely to be any time soon. I also agree that a good conflict system has to have winners and losers, or there is little point to it, but I thin…
  • I said it on the old forums, but it's like one side being able to raid whenever they like, and the losing side only be allowed raid at a prearranged time.
  • That's the intended purpose of flux, sure, however I disagree that orgs without domoths are limited to a once a year, 'you can now compete in X hours time be it convenient or not for you' is serving its purpose as a means of making domoth conflict e…
  • True, however that is where the one side being able to dictate the 'when' of domoth conflict occurs problem come in.

    If you initiate an upgrade at a bad time and have it be stolen, then that is on you. However being able to choose when yo…
  • (Quote) Is the idea ideal? Obviously not, which was why we ended up in the 'maybe it should be more like nexus weakenings' discussion last time. Astrologers determine that Domoths of Harmony/Chaos are weakening in X month, War/Justice i…
  • (Quote) True, they can't help each other in the upgrade attempts, however the moment they lose the domoth, they are immediately free to help their allies insta-absolve it once dormancy is over. That certainly was obnoxious!
  • (Quote) No idea if you saw them on the old forums, but I made a couple of posts about how I thought due to an alliance's ability to gain a stranglehold on domoths, it introduced a bias in the setup that discouraged participation in domo…
  • Hmm, perhaps more relevant to the 'improve collegiums' tangent the thread has taken, but I think tweaking the geography quest would allow for inclusion of some of what has been suggested here about good things for novices to know, without being any …
  • Draylor's enemy/ally database stuff is a lot more substantial, but for a quick and easy solution, this might do what you want.

  • I agree. Now the Elder War books are complete, more backstory on Vernal gods like what was done for Juliana in Climanti would be awesome!
  • Maybe if you use the daydream emote, you're flagged as 'asleep' and able to receive dreams until you take another action?

  • So this is the new Tweets then, yes? In that case, nerf Agnomenon! :(
