  • If that's the Master Shrine, then yes, it's unintended. It definitely had a different description a while ago!
  • Federal student loans just have a general "maintain academic standing" requirement; they leave the specifics to the school. My school is the one that set the harsh requirement, and apparently they have the power to shut off federal loans to their st…
  • It's a matter of maintaining a 75% pass rate overall for a given academic year. I failed two of four classes fall semester, and I passed four of four classes spring semester. Problem is, I had a fifth class spring semester that I withdrew fro…
  • So I just got a letter from my university. They're revoking my financial aid because I don't meet some arcane Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. After I did some digging, I found out it was because you have to pass 75% of the credits you a…
  • Oh, I won't argue that Hallifax is losing too hard right now. It's tough sometimes, and there's some very potent combos (of people who know what they're doing and how to use what they've got) that we have to go up against, but I can't really name a …
  • That's always been my mantra, too. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is, if people don't keep doing things that make them frustrated, angry, and bitter, their factions tend to start losing harder, and when a faction starts losing really …
  • I'm so glad the state of combat is super healthy and everyone's able to engage in enjoyable conflict without anyone getting frustrated. That would be a really unhappy state of affairs.
  • Perhaps, but witness what happened in Achaea prior to the institution of autoclass. Certain guilds were being so pointlessly dickish that administrators-- including the creator of the game-- failed their class tests repeatedly when making alt…

    It's a little funny-- Arel is "Father" or "Arel," and Nihmriel is always Mother to her face and Lady Shevat when speaking in the third person. All other members of the Shevat family are j…
  • Ooh. I always enjoy looking through the windows there. Never had cause to buy anything, though.
  • (Quote) Byzantium 4 lyfe, yo. Love that game.

    ^^ the fun part about CK2 is you don't need all, or even any, of the DLC to play, and if you want it, you can be very selective. For instance, I highly recommend picking up L…
  • Nonono, that was the butt shrine. This is the math shrine. Two great tastes that taste great together.
  • A few rays of icy green light dance here gracefully, cast by a shield shrine of Jadice nearby.

    Equations swirl over the perfect sphere of a protection shrine of the 
    Frost Queen, gleaming a cool, icy g…
  • Before I spend a million essence and six points of weight, can I get clarification on whether the demi power Refresh also refreshes willpower and endurance, or is it just h/m/e?
  • Look, just make a monk-only trade skill that permits people to prune and cultivate bonsai. Magic bonsai, whose twists and turns create various beneficial effects when placed in manses or carried around with you. Maybe even cursed bonsai!

  • I'm going to get to go watch oral arguments in Bostic v. Rainey, the big same-sex marriage court case that's going through Virginia, at the 4th circuit court of appeals tomorrow. It's dorky, but I'm excited; the last case of national importan…
  • It's secretly Thax! Wearing his big puffy Shikari costume over his armor.
  • (Quote) In my defense, it wasn't intended as a constructive tweet, but more as a way of blowing off steam. I don't like being frustrated and angry when I message administrators, as I find that makes their job (and mine) harder than it n…
  • That's why I'm hoping a message to the Charites will clear it up! I have had situations where a polite request to reconsider wasn't enough to fix a weird rule problem, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
  • I definitely will, once I've double-checked the situation with the trademaster who submitted the designs for me. :) I'll happily complain…
  • As far as I'm aware, those designs are all the same in their short descriptions (spiralling silver scrollwork) and then slightly distinct in their long descriptions. Which is the case for the ones I submitted. in Tweets V: Tweet and Tower Comment by Ileein May 2014
  • Really annoyed by arbitrary rules for designs right now. There is, so far as I am able to determine, no good reason why tattoos for different parts of the body can't have the same appearance. I want exactly the same tattoo on every part of my…
  • If you're into history at all, Eric Flint's 1632 series is also a very good read, though it can be a bit dry and technical about the military stuff on occasion-- he loves him his guns, boats, and planes, and it shows. The basic premise is tha…
  • (Quote) Just wait, you'll get even more genocidal. I promise!
  • Currently working my way through Words of Radiance, the second book in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series, about which "doorstopper" is an entirely insufficient word when each book is the size of a cinderblock.
  • Reading the description again, it just says it's "designed after" weaponry of Terentia's making, which I take to mean that they are copies of weapons Terentia made. Though it also says they are "of Terentian origin," which is a frustratingly vague s…
  • Love @Jadice's healing shrine. Very appropriate! Now to erect more and see the descriptions for the others.
  • Jadice's healing shrine! So pretty!

    A soothing chill permeates the area, bringing with it a rime of sparkling frost cast by a healing shrine of Jadice nearby.

    A conical ice crystal erupts fr…
  • Yeah, the damage reduction shields don't stack, and I think it's actually strongfavors+ that do it.
