He who faced off against the Great Wyrden Menace and lived.
Or at least I assume he lived, idk. He's not exactly citing avid PKers.
I actually died. 2 druids is sap-tastic. Also Athree was pretty clever in using stealth monk to slip away when I called a glorious 3-person 12-sphere meteor storm. I'm pretty happy with that particular incident overall, though. I learned how to make good use of mendingstone and balestone to survive long enough to put up 12 spheres / do a damage move that hits all 3 (or 2, thanks to stealthmonk :<) people along with the meteor storm.
EDIT: @Synkarin ...I'm 100% sure I've never chopped elders. I only got Chop in Environment literally 2 days ago.
Yes, I'm a d-bag and all the other horrible, tear-inducing names you can conjure up. This won't exactly stop me from doing what I'm doing. On the contrary, it's pretty motivating.
(Don't expect much action from me until a couple of weeks, though, university is hell this time of year.)
@Synkarin Having talked with both IG. Twych is actually worse than Fralunah as Fralunah now sees the mistakes she made and why it was griefy. Twytch wants to claim 1v1s and 1v2s etc that he could not escape is the same as him going into cus He found the combat fun. Twytch even if you do not always run, the point is you are not doing it for combat you are doing it simply to waste time.
Further proof to this is your own admission to this fact that I quoted earlier.
While I am not getting into the Twytch is setting fires to set fires, pointing out he did not 1vs1 Xenthos is silly. Xenthos does not 1vs1. Xenthos either runs until help arrives or gusts into pits until help arrives. Xenthos does not actually fight.
There's the crux of it. Both sides do the exact same nonsense. EXACTLY the same way, it just hits both sides when it hurts. And it's easy to see that it doesn't hurt so bad When We Do It(tm).
Anyone, anyone at all trying to play the moral high ground is hilarious. The only actual difference is you don't consider yourself OOC allies.
But do carry on. I just wonder why the same old story is still entertaining after this long, personally.
Mayor Steingrim, the Grand Schema says to you, "Well, as I recall you kinda leave a mark whereever you go."
@Makaela Have we talked IG before? Recently? I don't remember.
In almost every single one of the fights I go in*, I learn something or improve on something I've already learned. Fighting Xenthos is futile because of pits. With Cyndarin, throw out paranoia if Astrology is nice and gives it out, and read disruption scroll a lot to remove forcefield. Synkarin with Cyndarin is formidable because of the Aeon from the former and (once Aeon is stuck), destro-staff from both. Dylara usually forgets some key druid-y things (Dylara is not an invested PK-er), but when these are remembered it's pretty nasty for me (raise staff on meteor, sap with a buddy).
I learn from my PK engagements. It's not a waste of time for me.
* exceptions: when fights happen an hour or two past the weave -- it's not my usual play time. Hail Asia Pacific.
Sorry, Sidd, but I'm going to have to sympathize with Twytch for that one. Please don't call anyone a "Fralunah". There's only one other insult I can think of that is worse.
Defending setting fires by claiming it's for PK, and then turning around to say "I'm now doing it because I want to be an ass." is the act of an immature child whose pride just refuses to let them see when they are wrong. You take pride in being an asshole to people? You take pride in ruining hours of people's playtime?
This is the real reason why we can't have things like realistic fire spreading in a game where RP is the biggest draw. This is why we need to equalize things like chopping elders. Because of people with egos bigger than their heads like you. This is why we need to remove those kinds of mechanics even though "it makes sense" for trees to be choppable. Because you're one of the representatives of those who would spoil the game for everyone playing it just to assauge your smallness and your pettiness. You're the face of what is wrong with @Estarra's logic that things can be unequal and fun because it makes sense. It can't be unequal, because people will abuse this.
You're part of the blight that causes this game to progressively become worse and worse, forcing envoy reports to address abuses instead of balance concerns. You're the reason that gives advocates of vigilantism, like me, the fuel and the reason to push for more regulations, more punishments and more mob lynches. Because this validates my theory that social ostracism to the point of retaliatory harassment to remove you from the game is the only solution, thanks to a lack of consistent punishments from the admin side. You're the reason why I will continue to push for player sourced censure against such actions. You're part of what continues to convince me that this is the best way forward, and that people like Makaela, Aeldra, Lehki, Silvanus and all the other players who urge temperance and goodwill are sadly misguided idealists whose hope that the community will improve itself is just a pipe dream.
Take pride in your griefy actions, Twytch. You're successful. You're just the latest in a long line of griefers that have been abusing, and enabled by, the admin's tendency to err on the side of believing in the goodwill of people when instating realistic mechanics. You're one of the representatives of the failure of believing in goodness and fun in a game.
That actually stung a little, and it wasn't even about me. Geeze, Lerad.
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.
I just don't understand why people have to make excuses to grief. Quit trying to justify it or find a reason. Quit blaming it on So and So eyeballing you at the plex. Who cares if your aunt's dog walker's second cousin once ate a plate of cherub wings. If you want to raid, raid. If you want to cause trouble, do it. Put on your big boy pants and realise that you can do whatever you want so long as you can deal with the repercussions that may not actually happen to you, or even scale to whatever you did first.

..what started as a joke ship, is now a thing. Could be worse, could be engaged to Makaela....oooooh burn.
Just kidding - What started as a totally random tweet turned into a thing IC, which is hilarious, at least Ulalah will stop teasing her brother about finding someone
I'm just over here listening to all the crickets from the people that kept insisting they didn't only care when it was their side getting set on fire.
I set fiyaaah to the raaaaain.
The apple is cold, crisp, and sour as the juices fill your mouth. As you consume the fruit, you glimpse, for a moment, a massive, shadowy figure, Her snow-white hair framing a perfect, icy-eyed visage. Beneath you, a vast, perfect web of silken strands lies - and, for a moment, you realize that you too are part of it, weaver and strand both - and home.
I only bought 1 crate, so I don't even have a ton of pieces to trade-- but I was kind of hoping for there to be enough interest that I could finish up some things, like in previous promotions! I'm certainly not buying 10 crates to try to finish them myself. :P
I felt like the jewelery curios were underwhelming.

They kind of are, but I do want the critical-hit one. And the fear resistance / ignored by non-guard mobs would be okay, too-- just not worth paying a lot for. The effects aren't really worth more than the $60 I put in to me, and I'm nowhere near to completing even one set (which is the downside to curios, too many pieces, bleh).

Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable. Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.
I have an echo for when I probe a node and it's at motes so that I don't overlink. Today I wasn't paying close enough attention and I drained out fesixes because it was already below motes so I didn't get my echo.
Please let it get back up to rainbow before draining it again! That's my bad. Fixing my echoes now to avoid that in the future.

Dylara has gotten two. She cheats.
