That's because you only argue with pedantic. I argue with all three styles.

Games been really active the past few days with a lot of new folks and old and some very fun conflict events(more than one) for everyone to join in with.
@Kagato needs a rave for all the work put into the Festival of Light - what bits I've been able to take part in have been really fun and enjoyable, even if there have been one or two hiccups along the way. It's not easy organising things, so hats off to you.
Raves for @Orventa for my new forums picture, apparently done by an outside artist.

I will echo the thanks for the vengeance, even if I probably ruined it for most of you by not actually knowing what I was doing.
I had very little idea either, although I have played "Live" games very similar. I am glad everyone who played, played. Poor @veyils somehow got killed on night 0 every game
I know I've said this before, but I make no apology:
In a world were ppl r incrasingly doin dis, there are moments when I truly realise how much I take Lusternia for granted. We are continually treated to casual excellence such as this:
You spread your arms wide, and the air between your hands begins to warp and twist as you bore a
hole through the fabric of the planes, seeking to ascend to the Divine Havens.
You fold space and a swirling gateway of brilliant light pierces the air before you, boring a hole
through the very fabric of the planes to the Vault of Heaven. You ascend confidently through the
rotating gate, which shimmers and snaps shut behind you.
The best fiction writers of our generation are able to evoke this kind of amazing, succinct imagery in so few words, and I'm willing to pay $1 an hour to read the fruits of their mastery. And yet Lusternia is willing to give it to me for free if I invest my time and energy (or, yes, my money - which is the same thing, right?) into it.
TL;DR: Anyone at all who is writing for Lusternia is contributing to a veritable masterpiece. I consider the warning I'm about to receive to be an honour.
That was actually pretty touching @Versalean, I dunno why you'd get warned for it.
So, my rave today is about all those players in game who tolerate my character. She's super annoying at times, and I hope she doesn't get on everyones nerves too much. She's designed to be socially awkward, driven, contemplative, and passionately self centered. It's only recently that she's found out that people other than herself matter.
As well as the players and mods in and out of game who are able to be understanding when I the player screw something up, my brain isn't the best constructed thing anymore(Asphyxia tends to do that. Especially repetitive asphyxia. And I've almost died by suffocating about 6 times in my life.(If anyone wants I'll post my rant about all the times I've nearly died, they number 20+ in the amount of time I've been alive(24 years,) and I'd be happy to post about how happy I was to be alive after each potential death.)
Also as an example I got snippy with a mod at one point, honestly having been a tad frustrated on what I had done to warrant a warning, Asking them to reconsider and also tell me why. And they came back to me with a very good explanation of why, their reasoning on it, etc. And didn't have any attitude themselves. And I realized at that point, holy shit this place is pretty awesome.

So thank you people for the tolerance.
Yay, thank you! Now I won't get typer's cramp from outrifting everything each time I restock my shop!
Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight
