This is one reason it is hard to give a proposal on "one" area of the game. They're all connected, which is great in a lot of ways, but makes it harder to address piecemeal.

"Wow" If what you took from my post is that I'm 'raging' and 'throwing a handful of spaghetti at the wall,' I'm not sure what to tell you. I think you missed my point entirely, which is that the concerns have been very much out …
I haven't voted in the poll. I don't plan to leave, but I have been close at least twice since the end of the year and taken some time off both times. The stable state for retention for me involves enjoying combat, which I currently do not. I h…
Thanks Estarra. I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting relitigating the result, but it is reassuring to know you are taking in the feedback of those of us who had less fun than we hoped.

While I still think I would have found the event ultimately un-fun even had it ended different, I want to underline the last part of this statement. That's how I felt last year - even as a fairly novice combatant. It felt good. Also, …
I had a draft going in notepad, but Kelly hit almost every point. I appreciate the idea of changing things up (even though as a relative newbie Ascension had not yet gotten 'old' for me), I am sure it took a lot of work and a lot of thought.

Welcome! It's been a while since I went through/paid attention to the intro myself, but I know at one point post-overhaul it was in a bit of a state, and Admin did some work last year to improve it. I'm sure they appreciate your feedb…
Woke up to snowy, icy roads - not objectively THAT bad, but when you live in a place that rarely gets it, so there's no infrastructure to clean up the roads after a fairly minor storm and no one else knows how to drive in it, still dangerous. Decide…

Yes, it does. The stance calculation and hemo calculation show before the raze action. If you miss with your first action and hit with the second, the stance progression and hemo happen after the miss, before the hit. I tested to conf…

Given the current state of Lust, passive Lust, and the cost of rejecting, I don't think this is a good idea at all. Huge buff to psymet monks that they don't need.
I've never been especially sympathetic to this concern, even before the cwho change. I'm probably below median social and above median 'try stuff until you figure it out on your own' though, so I realize that's not the best position around which to …

I hear you - and here on the forums, I will say I agree and understand completely. My previous experience was a case where I disagreed with said Patron about what was best for the Organization - and, to be even more clear, I am not de…
Ejderha was in an Order while he was younger and living in the Serenwilde. The Order was growing, recruiting, full of his friends. He had primal fascinations with the mysteries, symbols, ideas of the Order, though the Divine was only somewhat indire…

For the mmf denying thing, what I do is have a conditional that checks if slowcuring mode is on. If it is, it sends the 'best' single command chance I have to escape bracketed with commands that turn off the mmf blocking for that comm…
Diagnose is killing you. I would recommend turning off mmf diagnose completely (or turning the threshold up really high). MMF and AC think different things about your affs, partly because MMF doesn't capture the cure lines from Autocuring. In some o…

Sometimes. But not all the time. Look, both of you are better combatants than I am, and you're probably right about Tarken. In some discussions - let's not say the Tw-word just yet - I think that is a -part- of it. But the other half of thi…
I think if a discussion like this is to succeed, we need a more robust language for comparisons than a simple poll can present. I think the definition of 'superior' in this case is likely to differ enough from person to person to ensure most convers…
I will be largely absent for an undefined period. I'll still probably sneak in for poteens and whatnot because I am habituated by my endowments, but otherwise don't expect much.

Second time? I am *still sick from last year*. Haven't felt like a human being since about 12/27. Flu -> Sinus infection with no break. Only just now starting to feel better.
These solutions all do the same thing. The [[]] let it parse the string within a string, which single quotes would also do. In the original, it doesn't know whether the second " is closing the first or opening a new set.
