My tweet, which is almost attached to the above few tweets.
Sometimes some of the most awesome people in Lusternia do the dumbest things when they get angry. I hate when people can't keep alts separate from each other. I'm not Shaddus IRL, I'm not a Mag irl, I'm not a Celestian irl. I'm me. Too many people think that if I main in one org and have an alt in another to "relax" or "unwind" or "have different rp", I must be spying or something similar. I'm very, very disappointed in a specific person today because I thought they were better than that.
I was kind of worried that you were doing that to me when you went, "Oh, awesome" in Faethorn the other day; then I thought about it a bit further and figured that it meant something else, because you've got the whole alt thing down pretty well.

On the ferry this morning and the screen informatively tells me "LEO you are going to be caught out in an embarrassing situation today". Looking forward to logging in now!!!

There's various things in the route I can improve on, small errors that can get cleaned up, a couple of code bits, a few times I got caught up in a fight and how to handle that better, so I'd like to go over the logs to clean those sections up.
There's also a funny moment where, being as cool as you like murdering Duum, I spawn the Dread Lord right on top of me.
Also to hopefully prove the point that Icediggers are utterly overpriced points wise, 10x 20 point mobs in each of 30 untouchable rooms. I hope they get rejigged so that Death 2015 isn't all about who sat in the most pits, there's a wealth of mobs out there and I'd like to see them utilised better.

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!
I'd like to see any of the seals not be about who can get the most TFs/domoths/buffs and more about the strategy and teamwork.
Not saying death wasn't, I wasn't online for it save the last 10 minutes or so, but some seals seem to be more a competition of who can game the stats/buffs better than anyone else. Or maybe that's just my skewed perspective? idk.

I was running one TF, which came from the wheel, and the boost to destruction from War, those are the only real "unobtainables" that I had going.
The rest was from a herofete, karma blessings and consumables readily on sale in the Aetherplex. The perception that most aren't about strategy and teamwork is cynical at best.

For me, the Life Challenge boasted very little in the way of combat. Morkarion and Shuyin came to smack me around a couple times, but that was it. By the sounds of it, it sounded like Anita was hunted down once or twice, but that wasn't necessary to secure victory. The only min/maxing sort of thing I did was for movement speed, be it physical or magical. Even those weren't entirely necessary, given all of the minions out there scouting for furrikin for my sake.
The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "The Challenge of Life has ended!"

Actually, this is something we laughed about.
I started Death Seal with 0 karma buffs and no god blessings. I had 0 karma. I bashed up enough corpses to get karma, got a war blessing about 10 minutes in, and then had to get god blessings at that time as well. I also had no tf.
Today I realized I participated in the death challenge without any armour on.
Well, damn.
That's ok, I realized I was razing people with my bashing raze form. Now the real question is, were you wearing clothes at least? :P

A helm and also a stole that billowed in the wind, along with other things, apparently.
Flavour text accompaniment- ... you wince as a thunderous roar rattles your spine just before a looming figure emerges from the darkness. A helm. A stole. A bardiche. Torment is sure to ensue, one way or the other.
That awkward moment where you forget you're a Faeling without Nightkiss, no surge up and you're wielding two domoth orbs instead of a Katana and rush headfirst into a group with someone following you.
Who just disconnected.
Welp

So much hate for glom prophesy quest and my inability to type quickly enough. Was looking forward to ending this particular rp arc for Tarkenton. Ah well, there's always tomorrow.
