Re: Portrait Gallery: show off character or lusternia related fanart you've commissioned or created!

Finally got around to commissioning some art for Kailanna, and it turned out really well. The artist did an especially exceptional job on her wardrobe, which is obviously of the utmost importance.

Definitely check out the artist, Salvadordavy ( @lildavycake on twitter).

Same artist as above! Ademar appreciating a moment of quiet by polluting it with noise.

Thanks to Evette for the last one.

new mmignore

A little more complete than many others circulating.

Has a help and lets you just set defs, or misc, or affs to mmignore separately.

syntax: mmginoreall < note the 'all'>. The entirety of the code can be found inside this alias.

Understand that setting defs or misc means m&m will ignore those 'even' if you select them in defup/keepup.

Also for those of you who have patched riding to work, turn it back on if you do all, on, or misc.

Re: Absence Thread

Hey all.

Thankfully things didn't go nearly as bad as I'd anticipated, so I'm back to some capacity. However, I accidentally shattered the screen on my laptop (don't ask) so I will be playing by phone for the next week or two until I get a replacement. I'd also like to thank you all for the many words of encouragement that I received over the last couple of weeks... believe it or not, they really did help.

Much love to you all!

Re: Serenwilde - Purpose of a Festival, of Ritual

To go with above, here's Rig-Wilde Huskii's wonderful opening ceremony to the Wild Hunt

I trimmed out the initial start where Essoheli and Norra anointed everyone with face paints.
Velcora regularly kept a nose out to welcome others during the hunt, so we ended up with a bigger group than we started. Norra passes along candies to them too.

Re: Lusternian Divine AMA

Eve said:

This thread has been too quiet here recently. Inquiring minds would like to know:

1.) What is your favorite thing to do when you need a break from a project?
2.) What do you miss most about being a mortal? Like an activity or a quest that you could mindlessly do.
3.) What do you not miss about your mortal skin?
4.) If you could do one thing to bring the basin together as your Divine self what would it be? Would He/She ever do it?
5.) What FanFiction needs to be written about your Divine self and why?

1. When I need to take a break from a Lusternia project, I will go in one of two directions depending on why I need a break: I'll dive in and help with someone else's project, or I will dive in to any number of video games. For me as a newer admin, doing things with or for other members of the team is a great way for me to learn. Like @Lantra, it can also reinvigorate my creativity and inspire me again, and it also just feels good to contribute to the health and energy of the entire game. If I've temporarily exhausted that creativity, like @Terentia I will often find it in the stories and conflicts of different roleplaying games I enjoy!

2. Like many players and admin, as a player I was (shockingly) really into creating things. When you're an admin, you still get to do that a lot, and your work definitely gets noticed and appreciated (even if players don't know it was your writing they enjoy!) but you don't really get to put your stamp on something and say, "That's me, I did that." That's why a lot of us thrive on any and every rave players post about logs, quests, areas, events, even short lines and small details - it feels good to be reminded that players take notice and enjoy what we do.

3. Worrying about whether my designs will be approved in time for important events!

4. By persuasion or by force? Because ideally, the Basin would just wake up one day and see how badly they need Moon and Seralem in their lives, but she wouldn't go and grab the Nature Seal to do it. Really. I promise.

5. Obviously, the fanfic where Lisaera didn't become a traitor to the Traitors. Lisaera and Drocilla teaming up to save the world at any cost!

Re: Serenwilde - Purpose of a Festival, of Ritual

A month before the Wild Hunt, Nehvi approached myself, and asked is she could be part of the closing rituals.
