Best Of

I drew a chibi of @Crumkane this time. Hopefully, I can roll out a Raezon next!

The best part of being a minstrel is just going to Magnagora and telling wild stories until one of my arms gets chopped off.

More questions... this time at midnight!

1. What is one thing you would say to a player character who no longer plays?
2. What is one thing about the old guilds that you really miss?
3. What is one thing about the new guilds that you really enjoy?
4. What is one plot thread that you feel never got tied up (this could be a major one or a small one)?
5. What is one figure from history that you would love to learn more about?
6. This is a selfish question: Unlike some of my fellows, I don't really like "appearing" all of a sudden to a player and RPing with them (either through motes or being visible); but I feel like it makes me miss out on so many experiences. How do you like to experience your roleplay? Side-question to this question: how important is visibility (note, there is a distinction between visibility and activity) for you, esp. in relation to god roleplay?

1. To Orn specifically, I'd tell him I miss him crazy lots and I wish he could come around to hang out with Crumkane. They'd get along spectacularly!

2. Everything. As much as I love the idea of the freedoms that we get with the new guild setup, the "guild" identity has largely been lost to me. Maybe it's a grass-is-always-greener type situation, or maybe I'm just jaded after having been through the ringer with guild leadership time and time and time again, but the current incarnation is rather just social clubs that have no substance in my opinion. Could also be a Gaudi-exclusive thing!

3. I do enjoy the customisation that comes with paths, when used to its full potential.

4. The loss of Gaudiguch's old guilds seems to have been really half-baked and unexplored. I know @Viravain and the rest of the Glom crew built their event up into something really provocative and lore-heavy, but Gaudiguch...the pyramids just blew up. As far as I know, both as a player and a character, this was never really brought to a climax. It happened, we moved on, the end.

5. Elder-wise, I've always wanted to learn more about Sun's dad, Rahm. Vernal-wise, Tzaraziko. Hands-down. The mystery of their origin, the awesome lucidian v. dracnari but also lucidian dracnari stuff, everything about Tzaraziko is cool to me. In terms of mortals, I don't have a specific list. Give me anyone with records to consume or a brain to pick, I'll latch on happily.

6. Visibility is #1 #2 in my book. The unfortunate truth is that when a god goes visible, everyone and their uncle makes a mad dash to the fulcrux to throw out all sorts of 'pick me' vibes, which is a double-edged sword. Having played an administrative and RP-focused god role in other games, I know how it can be to have people flocking to you both to give and receive attention, so I definitely don't envy our volunteers - I bet it's exhausting to say the least! However, even having a god just sneak in quietly to say hello and check in on the order channels is a blessing. I love knowing my deity is around and thinking about us, even if they're swamped with work behind the curtain. We want to kick that love and appreciation right back at you!

Edit: remember how you said there's a distinction between visibility and activity? Yeah, I blurred that line heavily in my answer anyways. I feel mostly the same as everyone else here - activity trumps visibility, but that isn't to say that visibility (even half-visibility, as in you KNOW which god you're dealing with, through certain mobs or very nuanced echoes) is supremely lesser. I like a good balance of both, but seeing my god specifically makes the whole day, if not the week.

Also echoing @Sapphira, I will go on about the smallest RP interaction for days. You just can't beat that stuff, no matter how insignificant or lacking gravitas. We lead very tedious and repetitive lives as tiny mortals, it doesn't take a whole lot to impress us!

1. 'Long live the Queen!' To me, there will never be anyone quite as magnetic a leader as THE Queen of the Night.
2. Old guilds just felt like they had a much more archetypical identity. Didn't try to be special, just 'yea, we're warriors, let's get on with it'. EDIT: OH MAN HOW COULD I FORGET BLACK SHUCK I MISS BLACK SHUCK THE MOST!
3. I don't participate in the new guilds. Not a point against it, I just am not at a point in my life where I have time to do like. Guild tasks.
4. Can't think of anything.
5. The latest Shikari. I'm very sad I missed out on her playing the role. It would've been truly something special.
6. For god roleplay, visibility isn't all that important. I mean seeing the god every now and again is nice, but activity via emotes or npcs or like... I dunno, letters? Is still the key part of it all. Arguably better, since it's creating a richer world.

One caveat, if you're a Magnagoran, especially a Drocillan, and you show up in Carakhan's fulcrux asking about secrets, you will probably not get the same response that other people would.

I'm not sure if I should feel called out or like its time to ask Carakhan about all Her secrets.
