Battle chess is a little silly in that if you can just spam some kind of escape move, or spam hinders (or even just shields, against some classes), you can pretty easily win with just a little bit of strategy. It's very little actual battle, and even less actual chess.
D'you know who was online for Celest at the beginning of Battlechess? ... Me and Reah. Romaan came on at near to the last minute! And Xena in the middle of our bout.
I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.

It's also a little silly because not every class is designed to fight in a single room 1v1, hence why hinder/avoid/timeout becomes a tactic.

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!
@Caerlyr and @Ennys - been good to have some people driving enthusiasm in MD combat again
Please note: I deliberately play a very flawed character. Just because he says or does something, does not mean I agree with it. He's a bit of a <censored> really
Entertaining conversation with a newbie... even if it didn't end well.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
Well, it's awkward from an RP perspective. And Zvoltz, at least, knows what I'm up to. He gives vanilla favour, not TF. Haven't tried Isune, I suppose.
Rave for getting more coins from ur'trap lately.
Mayor Steingrim, the Grand Schema says to you, "Well, as I recall you kinda leave a mark whereever you go."
I've been helping a newbie on a screen reader lately. Hope he sticks around and doesn't decide the game isn't worth it.
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.

Come2Isune. We have tea parties and penguins and gossip.

Finally able to navigate my way around Hallifax on my little newbie. I feel rather pleased with myself, after how ever many years of going to visit and getting lost.

Granite Way intersecting Ruby Road. (road). This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A tall obelisk rises up here from the ground. Gazing out behind eyes of ice, the body of Kaina is frozen solid, preserved here in the middle of some act. A dwarf sentry stands at attention, his eyes searching for strangers. You see exits leading northeast, southwest, west, and in.
The body of Kaina is frozen solid, preserved in the middle of some act. The mouth gapes open in terror beneath eyes that are cloudy white orbs of ice. It has 6 months of usefulness left. It weighs about 31 pounds.
Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix says, "Salutations, Nalia. I have observed your steadfast work to maintain the Primary Generator. As such, I am offering you a members status upon the Commissariat for Transdimensional Maintenance."
Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix says, "Consider this appointment a great thing. With it comes all of the benefits - such as access to the Matrix for the purpose of empowering the Generator. Simply bring me four coloured spheres, and you shall see."
(Hallifax): Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix says, "Offer your congratulations, Hallifax, to Nalia for her appointment to the Commissariat of Transdimensional Maintenance."
Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix says, "Your duties, comrade, lie in the protection of our city - we must ensure the Primary Generator is always ready to face any assaults from that cesspool known as Gaudiguch."
She is a comrade of the Commissariat for Transdimensional Maintenance.
EDIT: Whoever took over Fraesic after me speaking inanely at him because I was the only one awake in Hallifax, I am sorry for bothering you, but on the otherhand, yay interactions!!
Your karma rises in response to your deeds. [ACHIEVEMENT]: You have completed the 'You Versus The World' Achievement! You have earned Instant Experience.

Rant for flares times. Being the only one around in your org kinda sucks
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
Also, belated rave to @Volucer and @QueenOfTheOctopodes.
And also, also... people keep giving me aetherships. More of this, please!
Vive l'apostrophe!
