I think it makes a lot less sense to elide the middle syllable when you consider the origin of the name Glomdoring from the refutation of "D'or glom" -- that middle syllable's an entire word. Not that that never happens in real languages, it just usually takes far longer than we've had.
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.
Not an OOC grudge, but you no longer have an IC reason to be in the OOC clan. Especially when you lashed out at someone instead of trying to resolve the problem you have with Hallifax

Do Tinkers exist anymore??? My figurine is too fabulously full to not be miniaturised, weep.
If you aren't enemied to Serenwilde (or have a lot of gold), ask Niina.

Enemying someone for killing a citizen in their territory isn't "lashing out."
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

Actually, that's just the end of it.
Elanorwen apparently started spam-spitting at Marcella and other people. Marcella, who until that time had been welcome in Hallifax (and who I encouraged other people to put up with and be polite to), came to the Matrix and challenged Elanorwen to a duel. Elanorwen then enemied her to the city and the guards killed her. Now, I wasn't around for any of this. If Marcella had come to me or the Board or a leader at all, we'd have fixed it and likely punished Elanorwen. This crap isn't acceptable.
Instead, Marcella decides that "They're a Collective, they all spit on me" and starts raiding Air/ganking citizens. I, who had paid fines/power to be unenemied to almost everywhere non-Gaudi, worked my hump off trying not to lash out at Mag in response, but Marcella never approached me ICly to resolve it. She just kept attacking Hallifax.
So today, I'm with a few Celestians/Serens on Astral hunting, and we get zerged by Gloms and Gaudis. She's part of the group attacking us, and probably the only Mag there. Most of us get away, and I end up going to Nil to kill a few demons, deciding that keeping my unenemied status isn't worth it. I go through the Megalith on Earth to Nil, where Deino is influencing. I doff my helm, go call a ship, go to earth to wait. After the ship arrives, I realise I hadn't even been scried once. I walk back to the Megalith on Nil, where Deino is still influencing guards. I decap her, walk to earth and curio out.
Edit: Marcella's post is in response to my removing her from Halli's ooc "people we like who may or may not be in Hallifax, and if they aren't, we're going to try and get them into Halli someday" clan.

To be fair you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time today, you were on Astral with a bunch of people who've been raiding EtherGlom and other places lately, so the group together was put together just to make them miserable.
As to the Elanorwen/Marcella drama, I've got my own opinion and it's not exactly shining of either of them.

I see how it is. I never liked you guys anyways . IS THAT WHY ZYPHORA DIDN'T INVITE ME TO HER WEDDING?!
Zyphora didn't even invite her ex-husband to her wedding. Not that she would have, but still.
I had to console myself by sending her and Turnus some chocolate crit-cake and two scoops of the now non-existent white chocolate ice cream Pectus designed and the Charites deleted.

Viravain, Lady of the Thorns shouts, "And You would seize Me? Fool! I am the Glomdoring! I am the Wyrd, and beneath the cloak of Night, the shadows of the Silent stir!"
It's a trap, hopefully someone will warn you before you make that mistake.

Pros: slightly better influencing in your meld, the awesome (in my opinion) Crow skillset. Cons; totem carving, no real offense outside your meld, have to buy demesne Artie's just to be able to meld large areas, you're the priority target when being raided/during domoths, and so on.

Yep, Crow is awesome. I don't know about it's potential in PvP compared to other skillsets, but I love it because the RP opportunities...and cawing. Yes, we cawn
Because credits and lessons. AND GOSH I DON'T KNOW HOW MELDS WORK. derp.

Ohgosh. I think I just stopped being a druid before I even became one. ._.

I've never actually been a melder before, but it's something on my bucket list of things to do before I quit playing. There's something inherently attractive about being a walking passive effect in Lusternia for me. Well, I'm not quitting anytime soon, so I probably won't become a melder anytime soon either.

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.

Oh, only the Pkers of Hallifax are at fault for all of that?
Seems legit.

Technically, melders are not walking passive effects. Bards and the chem/wood users are, but melders are more, walking mobile bases that takes at least a day to properly setup, and you're forced to try and stop the enemy from putting their base where your base is, while bleeding out from a gunshot wound. There was more I wanted to write, but I forgot, I just got up.

Step one: Meld a room. Step two: Get the room broken by an enemy combattant. Repeat.
Everything that just happened above these posts.
Seems legit.
