I wish I could convince the Board in Hallifax to let me post a collective bid for Celest's leadership.

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.
I am indescribably happy with the results of 'Letters of Love.' Thank you so much, @Daraius, @Irillia, and last but not least, @Turnus, for your amazing performances. It wouldn't be what it is without you. Daraius's soliloquy at the end was perfect, and Irillia makes such a wonderfully awful villain. And Turnus... We'll work on it. It's okay. (Just kidding, he was wonderful too!)
I love you guys. My heart is melting.
It really was great and makes the idea of attempting a play of my own even more intimidating. You should be proud.
Maybe I'm just a cynic, and not to knock Synkarin's post, which is a fairly well-written version of the phenomenon, but it seems to me like "lol your city sucks, just surrender to us because we're better" posts aren't really anything new. They've been written about cities that weren't doing well at PK by players in cities that were since forever; in fact, they're sort of the default. And the pattern's always the same. One person writes a pretty entertaining one, then literally everyone else piles on with substantially-worse ones, and they stop being funny.
Meh, they are mainly having a bit of fun at Tetras expense rather than making deliberate jabs at Celest. Kagato is a Celestian and I have been getting a good laugh out of some of the posts that came about as response to the mispost.
Good sport.
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!"
I found the whole thing relatively amusing. All I can think of when I read these news posts are Voldemort and the death eaters(Astraea as Bellatrix) cackling over Hogwarts(Celest).

A rave for @Valtreth being around and putting us on the spot. I don't know what we can do to encourage you to be around more, but we'll find a way.

You might be wondering why I composed the poem I did. ... My mind was stuck on Simon and Garfunkel's the Sound of Silence and the Lutheran Service Hymnal.
I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.
I'm just saying, these bars over my falcon picture make me look bad ass.

There's also gestalts which reduces the ego usage while influencing. Doesn't help you get XP, but still nice.
At long last! /guildhop

Weird.
