I'm going to rave for that war battle and especially @Lorina and @kreon. Given how unprepared, last minute and entirely "what we feel like doing? let's pick this" we were going with this, we did extremely well and it was fun Just need to get off this adrenaline rush now... I feel like a squirrel on too much caffeine.
It's cracking me up how hard we YOLO'ed this. I was legit not going to participate and just watch the battles. Thanks for forcing me to do this. It was so much fun!
I'll try and get the log up later on but your team had me dead a few times but for a split second. You did real well.

Congratulations to @Xeii on winning beauty, and to everyone else who placed!
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
My own personal raves for the ascension gala. Been the first time I could actually see it through to the end, too. My raves in particular to @Lilyin!, @Vidette, @Elexia, @Lief, @Naevari and everybody else who interacted with me during that gala. Sadly, I found it very hard to settle into my character that evening, so I was a lot quieter then I intended, but it was still glorious, "Tock, Tock, Tock!"
I would have come along, but sadly my boss chose today of all days to call in sick and I ended up having to go into work to cover for him. The Gala event was scheduled to start pretty much just as my shift was starting.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Perched nearby, a giant feral eagle searches her surroundings with eyes of twilight shadows.
Prettiest eagle I've ever owned.
"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."
I don't envy @Maylea having to judge Serenwilde's poetry contest. There were SO many gorgeous entries!
Amazing beautiful stunning avatar by Gurashi! ~ A gentle breeze ruffles your wings and whispers in your ears, as if for you alone, "Dragonfly's words shine... seeds, sown and tended, inspire... a forest harvest." ~ Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."
Eight karma blessings... if not for the inconvenient timing of the end of the world, I'd have had all nine.

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 emailed Support pretty much immediately, they actually seemed to disable autocuring (at least for the last 1/2 messages of the event text my AC stopped spamming me).
We need to be able to file issues and do certain system-side commands during mandate though... or at least just an issue so we can point out there's an issue in-game instead of having to go outside it.
I wish I could have read the ambient being launched, but the spam was so intense from that I have no idea what was happening... Can we get a recap for what happened?
Avechna gave his usual pre-ascension speech, but then Ghani turned up and snagged the staff then flew off to a hidden part of Astral, prompting Estarra to call him a cheeky little shite. The Gods of all the organizations tried zapping him, but Kethuru blocked the shots and their attacks only made the tearing apart of reality worse. Then Avechna opened the way to the hidden part of astral where Ghani was hiding, and told the Sealbearers that the first to stab Ghani 100 times (possibly in the face) gets the staff.
I wasn't sniping at anyone, I was commenting on something that showed up in the flood of of chatter I found myself in, and then decided it was probably just some stupid rumor and I retracted it because it was irrelevant.

If I had just won a seal, I coulda had him :< Though damn that running....chasing through a perma geo meld that cannot really be broken (doing so, he was able to break, meld and terrain in a single move, so it only slowed him down marginally), even with pits he got out of hella quick and web spamming for the seal bearers to catch up just for him to escape before I've recovered balance every time...ugh.
Ascension raves time! Only people who were there for the final thing, or I'll be here all day. Will probably miss Gaudiguch people since I only have a definitive Glom list.
The crew:
@Veyils: 100% earned. This ascension has been a blast and I am ridiculously hyped that you got it. I know you're the reason I'm still playing Lusternia and I'm confident I'm not alone in that.
@Jaspet: constantly talking strategy with me and learning sd so we could rock our ideal war team. Also for being the most unexpected runner up in two seal events.
@Kalaneya: your seal was intense. Quizzes are no joke. Highest tension seal event for me personally 100%.
@Malarious: I'm really glad you managed to make it. I know the time was some unholy hour for you.
@Xenthos: for patiently tolerating all the ascension questions. Also for pincharge torment in harmony and scrybotting against Ghani. Fingers crossed Veyils is happy with her name...
@Enadonella: for being my seal event fellow bully.
@Yendor: and it was on the somethingth day of February that a tracker was needed, and a bullet was taken. You're a hero. You also did ridiculously well for your first death seal.
@Tyamit: for appearing at random times in random classes in random places.
@Moi: stepping up to lead the main ascension team when we were all still expecting to need to run for the staff of destiny.
@Rancoura: introducing the thematic awesome into situations where most of us are panic scrambling with mechanics stuff. The pendants were a great touch.
@caenix: we've not spoken much, but its great to see new faces getting involved in the major events, particularly ones as chaotic as this year's final ascension.
@Esoneyuna: for heroic lone charges against a meld with 30 enemies in it. Also your timezone converting table saved me not turning up an hour late, so that was cool too.
Dys: I felt like you were up there every time I checked, which was a lot. +1
The opposition (most omitted):
@Avurekhos: I miss being on the same team, but you are a fun enemy.
@Danquik: really enjoyed being on the same team as you. I hope Mag works out.
@Ixion: you were the person I most wanted to avoid us having to deal with in final ascension. You still got there though: you're a monster.
@Kaimanahi: you're as much a headache as I remember from last year. The game needs more of you.
@Lorina: I said this to you IC, but it was awesome to see a fully Celest team in war. Team Celest was always the one we were planning on seeing in the finals (even though it wasn't the one we predicted), so it was definitely cool that that still happened.
Becoming a Phrase of Serenity in @Maylea's order. It was so special and beautifully written with such gorgeous imagery, and timing-wise, it happened on the Full Moon, too. so, so much.

I want to toss raves at members of the Evanescent I've had fun interacting with lately, specifically mentioning non-leaders. @Vatul is great, but there's a different camaraderie with people who aren't expected to have all the answers.
@Kailanna - You are just fantastic. Whether I'm capable or not, you find ways to turn my rambling thoughts into coherent sentences and roll with them. You bring great insight and are far too modest for your own good.
@Alexin - I don't know if I was really REALLY high or your character is more literal than I've ever seen, but that was the most fun I've had explaining a religious concept in quite some time. 10/10 would proselytise again.
@Ophion - I got to design a jodhpuri suit! We had in-character talks about the suit, and it looks so good on your character! You're fine with sharing it with the Order! Honestly, you're my dream client at times.
@Evanescent - if you aren't on this list, that just means I haven't found you yet. But I will. And it will be sweet and delicious and potentially confusing as balls.

Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight

Who'd you hear that from, Arix?
Congratulations to @Veyils!
Still, glad it's over.

@Taevyn: for participating after your mishap. I don't know I would have.
@Yarith: I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much effort you put in. Hallifax is lucky to have you.
@Ghani: as long as you're not an example of a geomancer patch, we're good.
