    You guys are so cranky!  It's summer folks! Go outside, smile while your skin sizzles :D
    I go to work when it's ~10-15C. I come home when it's ~10-15C. There Is No Such Thing As Summer.

    So... was that an OOC sentiment or an IC sentiment on Marcella's part? Or are lines really that blurred these days?
    I know Marcella rather personally, and I can safely say it's on both ends of the bridge, sad to say. 

    She's a big grump but she's also lot's of fun to talk to if you can get on her good side! If I could do it as a Glom, I'm sure it isn't a permanent sentiment of hers.
    Oh that's good. She isn't completely consumed by her irrational OOC disdain of random new players who had the audacity to click the wrong org during the introduction. She deigns to look past their e-faults and speak to some of them. 

    What a relief. I was starting to worry she was bad for the game at large. 

    I don't know or care about the particular person, of course, but I am interested to know about the general dynamic.  So, sometimes, it can actually be really effective to do just this - be a bit "scary", maybe even be an outright jerk at times, so that people will try to "get on your good side" (and then say things like "oh, she's okay if you can get on her good side" to other people).  If it's done skillfully, and under the right circumstances, you can actually end up wielding a lot of power over others by... being a jerk.  You are essentially training people to be slightly afraid of you, and to work to have you be "nice" to them.  Is that something that people see happen from time to time here?

    That's "A Really Warm Summer" where I'm from.
    Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

    The horse, while beaten to a pulp, is still quite relevant! Especially that part about telling people to kill themselves. Especially that part about homophobic slurs. What better way to spend the summer than lazying it out under the breeze of a palm shrubtree by the beach?

    I mean, I get that as an RP position. It's how I play my character, in fact, and I think it's perfectly fine from an IC standpoint. Doing that as an actual person to other actual people, however, just makes you a jerk.

    It's funny because that post could have been written about you instead of Marcella.

    That's not even believable, the election always started.

    Plus Someone has to continue to Svorai Ssaliss S legacy.

    I should have ran. But then I'd need like... Tekora to move to Glom to continue the legacy.

    Or Tau. Why do I always forget Tau? It'd be alphabetical order at least, unlike you sloppy S people.

    Csssselina. It's a soft C so I'm allowed to be next.

    See, if this was Halifax, no problem. My platform? "T is greater than S. Therefore, mathematically, you have to vote for me for the good of the Collective."

    How do you think Zitto got elected?

  • SiamSiam Whispered Voice
    My take on this is that S comes first before T. It is clearly Superior.

    @Sedanas has pleased me. Now tagging @Daraius to make sure he notices the vassal pack thing.
    Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

    @Daraius:

    You attempt the Kata form of battle (momentum 3)

    * ka darisho Tremula lleg left
    You pull back on a Tosha monastery spear before thrusting it at Tremula with the force of a falling tree before withdrawing just as quickly. 
    A Tosha monastery spear shears through the skin of Tremula's left leg, parting flesh and bone as easily as butter.
    * ka daporsho Tremula chest right
    Digging a Tosha monastery spear into the ground for support, you spin through the air and lash out at Tremula's chest with your right foot.
    The stylised diamond nails you wear on your right foot rake at Tremula's chest as you spin through the air, opening thin lines.
    * ka daporsho Tremula chest left

    The stylised diamond nails you wear on your left foot rake at Tremula's chest as you spin through the air, digging through the thin lines there to open deep gouges.
                          * * * WRACK AND ROLL AND DEATH AND PAIN * * *

    NONE SHALL INTERRUPT THE LEGACY OF 'S'

  • SilvanusSilvanus The Sparrowhawk
    Arcanis already did interrupt that legacy when he replaced Svorai.

    Unless Glom decides to false memory that away as well. Weve never been tainted, were wyrded! Arcanis wasn't Marshall, it was Sarcanis!

    Your jabs would work much better if they weren't obviously spite-driven. :)
    Is... Is that based on how long people stay online in our Guild, or actual activity? I don't mean to be rude, but seriously, there's only ever 2, very rarely 3, of us at most online. I've been trying to find someone to mentor for the longest :(

    You do realize topguilds means next to nothing in actual activity...right? 1 member can go around hunting all day and give their guild more a score than another guild with 5 members sitting around in a manse while they do their IRL reports. Frankly ebonguard withering away is what I heard from one of its own members, and when taking a look:

    8.2.4.3 THE EBONGUARD GUILD

                               [COVENANT]
                          The Blacktalon Guild

    Admin that rarely shows up, Champion that no longer plays, and then there is you in 5 positions. Oh also no secretaries. Oh yes, very active..
