There have been 20 GM elections prior to my char winning GM. Of these winning results, there were 14 unique (non-repeating) GMs.
Of the 20 elections, there were 9 "thank you" posts total by the winners. Of these 9 "thank you" posts, four were written by a single GM.
This single GM won GM elections (whether it was achieving or retaining office) a total of six times, meaning that two of their wins did not result in a news post.
More random SD stats!
There have been 24 GA elections. Of these winning results, there were 19 unique (non-repeating) GAs.
Of the 24 elections, there were 8 "thank you" posts. Two individuals held GA three times each. The first thank you post was written after the winning of the 9th election.
AND MORE
There have been 24 GC election (before Crek's winning). Of these winning results, there were 18 unique (non-repeating) GCs.
Of the 24 elections, there were 4 "thank you" posts. Two individuals held GC three times each. There has not been a "thank you" post written by a GC since November 11th, 2011.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
There is no SD as of current that has at one point held the position of GM, GA, and GC. The order of likelihood for a "thank you" post by a leadership position in the SDs is GM > GA > GC.
There is a 35% chance that if you are GM, at some point prior or post being GM you will be GA or GC.
You have roughly a 12% chance of being elected as a guild leader of the Shadowdancers if your name begins with an A, N, or V, and roughly a 9% chance of being elected as guild leader of the Shadowdancers if your name beings with a D. These four letters, together, make up 44% of all the unique guild leaders elected in the Shadowdancers.
As of current, no guild leader in the Shadowdancers has had a name that starts with the letters: B, F, O, Q, U, W, X, or Y.

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.
Because suggesting more aethership combat suddenly turns this game into a giant sandbox based around a 100% run player economy without game side seeded items, where everything is crafted, researched and constructed by the playerbase, death results in permanent loss of items and the entire purpose of the game is that you can completely screw someone over using OOC metagame and it's not only legal but encouraged and applauded by the admin.
See, having a wish to see an already existing part of the game and it's mechanics be utilised more so crazy tactics like mass fuse flashpoints to bait ships for well rehearsed ganks can be pulled off is as much "making this game" EVE Online as having a stole that depicts a weeping angel makes this world suddenly Dr Who.
Your argument is terrible.
Woah... I'm not the one foaming at the mouth over this. That said, more zerg-like tactics is definitely what Lusternia does NOT need. EVE's biggest defining feature is not sandbox gameplay or player-run economics either, I'm afraid. Its biggest defining feature is the amount of griefers/scammers that are in that game. If you'd like to see Lusternia be more like that, sure, go on right ahead. I, for one, do not. What's next? We're gonna start selling closed presents that supposedly contain 50mil gold worth of goods in them in 5mil gold, anonymous raffles, and then claim that 5 other people recently won, the other persons just weren't lucky to get a present with goodies?
No, because those would be horrible ideas.
You're also not reading what I wrote, clearly. If you want to make strawman arguments though go ahead, just do it without me.

Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

More aetherspace OBVIOUSLY means griefers and scammers. How can you not follow that logic. Which will LOGICALLY lead to counterfeit presents to scam people out of gold. I mean, hello. It's so obvious.
The soft, hollow voice of Nocht, the Silent resounds within your mind as His words echo through the aether, "Congratulations, Arimisia. Your mastery of vermin cannot be disputed."
Enjoying roleplay with a youngin, casually mention family....and have them openly admit they were approached and coached right from the portal and they now feel compelled to join that family even if they think it might not be the right choice. HARUMPH that is frustrating. STOP NOVICE SWARMING, PEOPLE! /gripe
Somewhere on the internet is a review of Lusternia that refers to it as "a dating sim". I'm sure of this, because all of the newbies lately have read this review and that's why they came to Lusternia.

I'm all for people playing how they want to play and whatnot, but...yeah. When you have the same handful of them bouncing back and forth across multiple alts to engage in the same sexcapades, attention seeking and nexus pity parties, it gets to be a little tiring.

Getting to hide behind the rules for a position to thwart, even if temporarily, the wishes of a Divine that your character is cheesed at? Tastes delicious.

My children don't seem to realise that mobbing me while I am being ganked is a bad thing. Time to turn them into my pk army (just as soon as they get this reading business down).

When they are mobbing you, imperiously point your finger at the foe and say, "Kill."
Well... did Yomoigu have one before He went to the void, or was it not made until after He returned? If the latter, he is totally a copycat.
I'd be curious to find out.
Aicuthi lost hers during the Tar Pit Wastes incident, when the Slaghora'ruin attacked the forest. She plunged her arm into one of the slimes to extract a sample during an autopsy and it started melting off; back at the Institute they tried healing it but the flesh never returned(rumor is that they were Soulless or something close to it, but that is up for debate). So Ileein performed surgery and made her a skysilver arm.
This was when Harmonics was still a fairly new skillset, and I remember one of the CrystalWeapons(was it the resonator?), was a glove-like contraption that fit perfectly with what had happened.
The idea was actually inspired my Tzaraziko's hand fusing with the Eye of Illith.

The question is fundamentally flawed: My magnificent self never fled to the Void.
False Memory? You're in the wrong org, sir.
