Re: Simple Ideas
- Please consider an option to CONFIG AUTOPAY [ON|OFF] - allow us to use bank accounts to store funds that will be automatically deducted on the first of the year to pay city shop taxes. I have never given a second thought to funds used by doing so elsewhere, and having an actual use for bank accounts would be great.
One other thought I have already submitted to IDEAs (knowing full well that's the list that is for keeping bored ephemerals out of trouble and finding new emote ideas):
- Add a new portal syntax, PORTAL SEARCH <city/commune>. Shows only manses that you can pass through to the desired organisation.
Re: Final Plea
Or even credit towards an anomaly (attend 4 quakes, get a nom for your own use)? If there is a concern about flooding the game with noms, at least. I will point out that the gnome traders do provide a lot of nom generation outside of quakes, so giving people another way to generate a bit for themselves does not seem like a bad thing to me; spreads it around instead of to just those people who can gnomechase the best.

Re: Final Plea
Alright - closing this down, I think it's getting a little too far there.
At this juncture, I'm not really sure what to say. I am sorry that some people feel like they are always outnumbered all the time and they can never make any headway. I'll note that people on both sides are saying there are times they are fighting against the odds. From what I've observed, this is true, there are times where one side dominates, there are times when things are pretty even.
I do think there are good combatants and good leaders in every org. There are people that step up and there are people that take that role. Some people don't want to though and that's ok. We each play the game for different reasons and to get different things from it. I'm personally glad that we're getting people who are not PK-focused getting involved in timequakes and enjoying themselves overall.
I'll look into some better data-gathering (though I can tell you it's going to be basic, I'm not going to be profiling or making a big to-do of it).
I'll look into setting up some more incentives (such as the 'participate X times to get an anomaly' idea).
I'll even possibly look at shortening the timequake length and making them fire more often for some time. Part of the goal of them being so often is that they don't feel necessary to attend. I think making them less often puts more weight on attending each of them.

Re: Final Plea
I'm just going to throw out some more names in that too, like Pysynne, Aramel, Feyr, Elarin - these people call targets and lead us as well. And do a good job of it, too.
We have people, we have numbers sometimes, but it's not going to work out all the time, either - on both sides of this side-war that's been going on for ages. Real-life gets busy, it's summer time, and usually this time of year is a lull for people online anyway - except we've been pretty good with numbers around on the game in a long time, which is great to see!!
People need to get down off whatever platform they're on and work together, not keep pointing fingers and arguing back and forth - this argument has gone on long enough and is detrimental to the game and its population. On both sides. Instead of running around with the attitude of "git gud", "be more positive", "practice more", "they have too many", "they killed us all, wah", "they're bad people" and all the other excuses etc., why not encourage everyone to get into Wargames / FFAs / Spars in between Timequakes? See your "enemy" not tumble away when they could have or something else that they could have done? Say something, give constructive criticism. We need to foster a better community than what we have currently, so instead of going "I'm not the problem", "they are the problem", "they're toxic", "they have too many people", "Bob smells", and whatever else excuse is on your tongue, hush up and be the person of change. I'm not saying to hold hands and go dancing across rainbows with your enemy orgs, but there's a better way to act towards each other than this BS.
Tl;dr, stop being silly.

Re: Lusternia memes
Hehe, ugly was more a comment on the dragons' faces. Although, the left one does look like it wants to kidnap you and change your last name to Shevat...Kethaera said:Hey, hey. Hallifax is not ugly. Our scary side... I imagine it kind of like the Dai Li from Avatar. Everyone is safe in the Collective.Hallifax and Magnagora are ugly and scary, while Serenwilde is adorable. Sounds legit!
