Re: Announce Post #3061: Ascension Postmortem
To be fair, this thread has been... revealing... in unexpected ways.Xenthos said:So you're saying that... in your mind, there was no winner. It's not fair or right that the team that did get 3600 first get anything, at all, no matter how minor?If that's the case, I'm really not sure what we're doing in this thread. If the Official Answer is that there was not a winner in this event, I wish it had been stated outright a while ago. It would have saved everyone a lot of frustration... including you, I'm sure.

Re: Announce Post #3061: Ascension Postmortem
@Afollia You have a good idea there, actually. Why NOT events for both? Who the hell says there can't be, outside of planning/coding concerns. Raising Ixion can come first since that's already under way, but can also work in or extend to a further event for the other side to celebrate. MORE RP events is almost never a bad thing.
Just no Plagues. -_-
Edit: Also yes, the lag I always felt was a direct result of Kethuru. Time being a creation just like any other concept in the formless potential of the Void, works out well. Especially with a Time Seal now able to be in the mix. Let's expound on the lore all in!

Re: Announce Post #3061: Ascension Postmortem
So, reading this, instead of focusing on diminishing the other side ? Why not just hold something special to celebrate each alliance's efforts. IHC has a lovely event to ascend their TA and Glom/Celest/Hallifax get a little something with Partoleon to celebrate sealing away Kehturu or a follow up Roleplay after sealing away Kethuru?
An event that builds on the end of ascension roleplay wise and offers closure for both sides. It feels like that might be a lovely idea and mend quite a bit in the process.
There's no reasons both sides couldnt even get involved in a culmination that would celebrate everyone that fought so hard post ascension and bring people togheter.
It feels like unity as a themed event moving forward would be really important to help people be drawn togheter, beyond the themes of Wyrd, taint, light, nature & Etc.
Edit: You could even RP off the Lag as something that was caused by Kehturu ♥

Wowza. Can't believe you're willing to lose Parhelion just to stop Ixion...

Goddamn. Every time another one of these posts comes up, my heart bleeds for Choros.
Choros if you're still by any chance seeing this happen i am really really sorry and just want to give you a hug. You're a Lusternian institution and the way you've held your head high during all this.....damn. People are the worst. Not everyone treats people like this, i swear.

Re: Character breakdown
Hey it me.
Character Name (in an old Loboshigaru dialect only his birth pack spoke): Those tender springtime shoots and sprigs whose leaves reflect the stars: from those, our salve, our kind nepenthe, our balm for winter's scars.
(Nepenthe for short, but DON'T TRY TO SHORTEN IT ANY MORE THAN THAT!)
THE ESSENTIALS
Race: Loboshigaru
Gender: Male
Guild: Revelry
City/Commune: Gaudiguch
Order: None now, eventually Crumkane
THE LOOK (lobo glamour)
(imagine this guy without glasses and it's pretty much exactly Nep)
courtier attire
just doodlin
(imagine this guy without glasses and it's pretty much exactly Nep)
courtier attire
just doodlin
Fur: wildly mottled like a wild dog, white extremities with rings and splotches
Eyes: just brown
Height: under six feet
Build: mad skinny, like you'd think he was malnourished if he didn't look so healthy and vibrant otherwise
Defining Features: big saucer ears, black fur "mask", feather-duster tail
Piercings: lots of holes, but only ever really uses one in the right ear in most glamours
Scars: none
Other special features: he changes glamours and wardrobe whenever the mood strikes him, and adopts the physicality of the race; his true appearance is always concealed under layers and layers of illusions including demigod masquerade, racehat, changeself, and glamrock
PERSONALITY
Strengths: creative, open to experience, observant of people's people's preferences, strong willed, fa~a~ast
Weaknesses: easily derailed when things don't go his way, quick temper, physically weak
Attitude: friendly and gregarious
Morals: dogma gets in the way of us seeing people as people, don't define a whole group by their purported beliefs, anyone can make a connection with anyone.
Pet Peeves: aloof people, unrepentant misgenderers
Best way to piss him off: abbreviating his name after he's politely corrected you (looking at you, MALARIOUS)
Best way to get on his good side: talk about what makes you happy, talk about how great Afrit is
FAVORITES
Color: gold
Tertiary: glamours
Tertiary Skill: changeself
Primary Skill: uh, I guess majorthird because that's what he uses to maintain his lute
Location: a muted den (his home in Prime Gaudi)
God/Goddess: Crumkane, because He's the only one that hasn't been a total jerk
Guild Master/House Head (all time): doesn't have strong feelings about guild leadership
Artifact (don't have to own): a regal black feather quill (plucked from Afrit's tail 
)
)Commodity: silk, vellum
Animal: does Radlii count? His enormous stuffed dragon pet that he sewed himself
Item owned: a ruby butterfly necklace flecked with gold; a warm, weighted comfort blanket
Village/forest/region: the Inner Sea because it's great for drowning people who follow without waterbreathing up
NPC: Tantus Stickypaws, but we only met once ;_;
Memory: too many to choose from, but one of the best was Afrit leaking smoke from his nostrils when asking if he could stand in for Nep's weighted comfort blanket after a really lovely Gaudidate
Song: Afrit's hunting song
Drink: kind nepenthean cocktails
MINDSET
Goals: make connections; help Afrit achieve everything he wants
Amibitions: raise a family with a strong identity; help people transcend dogma; make nice things for people
Nemesis: Romaan
Rival: don't really have a rival relationship with anyone
Best Friend: Tonatiuh
Idol: Eritheyl
Best personal achievement: 2nd place in Chaos, which led to getting a giant statue of Afrit built in Gaudiguch
Worst personal achievement: encouraging some of Coraline's darker instincts
Proudest moment: declaring his desire to be in Eritheyl's family and getting adopted; surprising Afrit enough to make him leak smoke from his nostrils
Most shameful moment: inadvertently toying with Kihr's heart; ghosting Vatul for years after stealing her man
If I could make one wish: abolish divisive ideologies and have some fun
SUMMARY
Why you should hate him: you really shouldn't
Why you should love him: he cares about you and wants you to have a good life
Why you should fear him: he'll tie ribbons on you if you go afk in his presence
Why he is harmless: he's a sweet fuzzy boy with a big soft dragon
If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: 6 v. 0 alliance
Nepenthe
