Lack of Raves V: Stark Ravin' Glad

Milune · March 2015

Excellent! Contact our people stating your willingness to purchase and the charges will be made. Peace at last!

Daraius · March 2015

Also gained artisanal inspiration from @Irillia. I... I think I'm gonna win it, y'all.

Siam · March 2015

I was literally doing my laundry when I chose to check Lusternia. Lo and behold, Aetherflares!

I am VERY thankful for the unexpected support of @Talan, @Vivet, @Raeri, @Neos, @Saoirse, @Maligorn, @Kaimanahi, @Aerys, @Lorina , @Zitto, @Salome and @Tarkenton. There were a lot of roadblocks(omg why does this ship not have a turret like the other ones?! omg I can't transfer ownership so I can add a room+turret, omg this omg that) along the way, too, but I'm thankful it all worked out(especially after Celest and Hallifax graciously stepped aside for the bubble and lent ships/whistles/etc). It was literally just me who could bombard, raise a colossus, etc. and I've gotten all jittery, too. Salome was there for support(and later came down to help everyone else in the bubble focus positive on Glom's Nyx) and Tarkenton came up close to the end.

It has been one crazy roller coaster ride today. Thankfully it ended on a high note. Again, my thanks to everyone involved.

The vortex below Flux [Flux] suddenly collapses in on itself, forming a stream of pulsating energy which streaks down onto the world below, blasting the energies within the Ring of Shattered Solace.
A column of brilliant light shoots up from the Master Ravenwood Tree as it synchronises with the energies of the Ring of Shattered Solace.

Woo, Glom's first bubble in a long time.

Excuse me while I weep tears of joy.

Maligorn · March 2015

>:D<

EDIT: Seriously though, on an IC level, Maligorn wanted that bubble, but it was more for bragging rights than actual need. So he didn't press the issue.

On an OOC level, it's really rewarding to give a win to the org that's just starting to get back on its feet.

Daraius · March 2015

I get totes jelly when someone else gets thrown a bone. But it's nice to be nice.

Tarkenton · March 2015

With family troubles and work, I haven't been able to be as active as I'd like to start trying to lift Glom up by its bootstraps. I think from this small start, we'll be able to make a lot of forward progress.

So, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone that Siam mentioned.

Lavinya · March 2015

Man, I wish Magnagora had some friends like that when we were completely abandoned by Hallifax and Serenwilde for not pulling our weight (aka we were all but empty), and Celest, Gaudi and Glom all hated us still. I bet it must feel real nice, Glomdoring! Wouldn't know myself. That was the time of the several times a day raids with no support or muscle to stop it. Did Glom even have to endure any of that? I'm sure I sound bitter because I kinda am.

Tarkenton · March 2015

A little bit Lavinya, but it's understandable. Mag got the crappy end of the stick for a good while. Fortunately for Glomdoring, for whatever reason, we're not ending up in the same situation. Though, to be honest, I was expecting the non-stop raiding to come from Magnagora, and if I'm being completely honest? I'm kind of sad it didn't manifest. Take that how you wish, but I was looking forward to logging in, brawling against impossible odds for a few hours, and going to bed after having had some good fun getting curb stomped. But I'm a masochist like that.

Shaddus · March 2015

It wasn't ever going to manifest. It was a constructed lie by your leaders to justify leaving the alliance and join the other

Tarkenton · March 2015

Perhaps it was, and perhaps it wasn't. As I said though, I'm sad it didn't happen.

Neos · March 2015

The majority, if not the entirety, of the people I disliked in Glom aren't around anymore. Mag would have to be basically empty for that to be the same. It'd be left with like, Aky, Lavinya and Ixion.

Synkarin · March 2015

I think it's safe to say that had Magnagora attempted to 'non-stop' raid Glomdoring, help would have appeared

You should have a chat with the Chief Superintendent. I hear she'd love to throw you all kinds of bones.

Marcella · March 2015

if you were so bitter about it like i am you wouldn't have voted to not do it in the council

thanks @lavinya

Not a single thing posted was a lie, actually.

Glom was pretty savvy about actively reaching out for NAPs when things started going south with Gaudi, and then by participating in Ascension they earned at least some gratitude. It's not like friends came out of thin air; they were still clawing their way and then maybe luckily benefited from political/Ascension circumstances.

Ssaliss · March 2015

Yeah. Funny enough, had not Marcella gone out and declared her war, then odds are we wouldn't have helped Celest.

I earned most of my CR as a newbie sweeping prime Glom for trees cut down by Ethelon and co. My first pvp death was to Ethelon, (or was it Iasmos? One of them.) because I only knew how to kata hold him to try and stop him from cutting down the trees. He cut the tree anyway, before killing me. Alacardael and I were butt-buddies who learned how to fight in Ethereal against ninja-Malarious and his raids. In fact, I remember deffing up frantically to help Alac from what I thought was a Faethorn gank by Esano, but was instead him getting pointers about how to meld properly because there wasn't a glom melder back then who could teach him. Miss that dude, wish he didn't go off the deep end about Tacita's forest lockdown back when the Wyrdling kidnapped the Wheel arc of the Goloth events. Ah, memories.

I was going in intending to campaign pretty hard, and when the Marcella thing unexpectedly came up, I changed the face of my argument and ran with it. I even had a full appeal to Xenthos lined up, but then he basically went, "Well, your case has already been made for you. I'm in." So, Marcella made it easier, but I still would have gone all in! I'm just wondering if any of the other competitors even approached Glomdoring.

Nope. You were the only one to approach me at all. I'm not sure if Gaudi/Mag just assumed that we'd help them, or if they figured we couldn't do anything at all, or something else, but none of them approached me about it.

Shaddus · March 2015

Shaddus spent a lot of his midbie life defending Glomdoring from Narsrim and crew. Then, the Fire Nation attacked pre-Hai'Gloh happened and Krellan decided to attack Shaddus with no warning.

Qistrel · March 2015

I remember Qistrel running circles around Alacardael in Icewynd as he tried to hunt her down. He really hated her noncom self for some reason.

Then he joined Gaudi, enemied me for no reason and I ragequit Lusternia for a while. Ah, the good old days. I'm glad I'm able to look back at it with humour now. I guess I actually miss the guy trying to kill me.

Shuyin · March 2015

Rough patches build character, I just wish we had more people to roll around with.

Qistrel · March 2015

It's still so weird (but kind of cool) to step into Faethorn and not immediately get attacked by Glom.

Eritheyl · March 2015

I give up on these forums and their terrible fucking quotes. Anyways, @Qistrel on the subject of Alacardael:

He did the same with me, in Faethorn. It was actually pretty hilarious, every time he came into the room I'd just shield or vines and skip away. Eheh...now Celina was another story entirely. She'd gank me hard for sure, but most of the time she followed with a less-condescending-now-than-at-the-time tip. I essentially learned bard combat by trying and failing to defend myself against the Night.

I'm pretty sure he actually loved non-coms, because we were the only ones he could kill. But he actually turned out to be a decent guy, in the end.

I miss my shady inter-coven deals at the Well of Souls. Glom as a whole didn't always jump people, as long as they think you've got something to offer them.

Rheatsis · March 2015

(Serenwilde): Arien says, "Would anyone care for a copy of the Keeping Stone? It is the first

edition of a pamphlet by the Sacred Grove."

(Serenwilde): Arien says, "It even has a year-in-review as well as a wondrous trance-cast by our own

Rheatsis."

That moment when staying up til 4 AM in a panic to finish something, being immensely anal-retentive over it, and praying to every god of every pantheon to ever exist after a 12 hour shift, hoping it isn't mortifying and awful finally feels worth it.

Quite honestly.. I think strongly our assistance was pivotal in deciding the winning side. I believe had we went ahead and assisted Gaudiguch(As I had originally were going to go with) I'm sure it would've been a -very- easy win for them. Though that crux with Marcella's supposed and personal war with Glom apparently was not in their favor. Surely, other political stuff played its part in it as well.

Shuyin · March 2015

Bonds was a pain. That was pretty pivotal, though we went in expecting no help from glom given their lack of alliance participation from the past few months.

Before the whole eaf thing, I might add.

Illidaen · March 2015

Well, in actuality there, it was just pretty much Crek, I think Lerad...and myself that were active participants. Though I last recall my participation was with Feyda and Steingrim when we stole...Chaos(?) from Elanorwen and Vivet. Which was quite a blast btw. The thing with me catching Delphas enslaving fae from faethorn just ruined it for Illidaen and figured if they turn a blind eye to that, they'll turn a blind eye to anything else that will be a violation of our trust.
