Iytha's post is also a perfect example of the kind of frustration we're facing, and which we don't want to have to deal with anymore - and be damned to your "conflict mechanics". I've never spoken to Baelfyre personally beyond seeing his death (and …

I think disputing the motivation behind the push for this change (the power doesn't matter argument, and the challenge that it's dishonest to claim thus) is important, because I sincerely believe otherwise. The anger that is met with a cut elder is …

Yes, like I said, I wasn't interested in accusing you of the specifics of the frustration I felt that day. My post was reacting to your argument about flicking away RP, nothing else. I couldn't care less, in fact, whether … -
Edit: this post is directed at Talan, obviously.
I think as you work through your various perspectives, you've already shown why choosing to move in the manner you've described really isn't a choice at all. You've disputed that the argume… -
Of all the examples quoted, the illithoid one is the only real player-chosen one that goes against admin mandated lore, and very weakly mandated one at that - it's the only one that is the more "convenient" option (many Nekotai would dispute that, b…

I don't expect you to know the specifics of what happened when you were killing villagers for the kicks, because I don't expect you to know that I logged on that night to the villager cries on CT, and without anyone else available to respond, I ran …

(Quote) FFTA was actually my first tactics game. Well, second, after Ogre Battle, but that's not really the same. It was pretty compelling for a kid at the time, and it made me a fan of the genre. I've moved on to Fire Emblem since, but the lens o…

Right, so I removed the profanity from my previous post in the interests of civil discussion, because profanity distorts and prevents measured responses, but I kept all of the venomous contempt I had when I wrote that post by reflex, because nothing…

Okay, so the argument has shifted to "You can't be angry if you're creating this work for yourself. You can change your RP so that it's not so important!"
Well, why are people complaining about kick-and-run, then? You can't be angry if yo… -
I'm fine with anyone's suggestion for changes, for any kind of change. At this point, every voice that adds to the chorus to ask Estarra to change her mind and actually tackle the problematic part of the mechanic, is one I welcome. Defending the mec…

I have every intention of making an envoy report about it, yes. I have been drafting one for the past few days.
But which part of this sentence do you not understand?:despite the fact that we've signaled rep…Upkeeping elder trees is not really done for defense, or power. It's only really done because of RP, and because of the level of RP investment people have in the lore of their org. Elder trees are, you know, sacred to the forestal communes in a game…VI had 14 characters, actually.
You could also beat the game with a minimum of 3 characters. Well, all but impossible unless you cheat, of course, but theoretically possible.Funny you should ask. I just went for this concert on Saturday:
Well, yeah, I'm not disputing that your English teacher isn't acting very professionally - I don't think even "new fashioned" people will disagree with you on that. But well, since you can't really get back the time you wasted investing into this co…Well, in the teacher's defense, WSS is pretty well-written.
Not catching quotes from G Gundam, though, now that's a sin worthy of capital punishment.There are OOC "parties" in other IREs which serve the purpose that the squad channel serves here, which are also considered OOC (I think, haven't logged onto the other IREs in a long while) to facilitate that kind of coordination. In Lusternia, ther…The answer is to only play during weekends, as I do now. There's no point logging in after a full day's work at 8pm to find the forest on fire and nuts to be replanted, spend 2 hours doing this or that or dealing with a dreamweaver, and then logging…A paradox puzzle and a cubix are entirely different artifacts, unfortunately, so no, they can't be upgraded into one-another.
Paradox puzzles let you save and remember specific rooms to teleport to (resets every IG month) and a cubix just…No, it is not. You can, and should, continue to take a stance against pointless vining - or against vining entirely, if you want. For one, you certainly didn't set any down yourself, and the fact that your citymates engage in such behavior absolutel…Yeah, which is why I also suggested re-looking and re-balancing the full effect (ie. no protection effects), and maybe re evaluating where we want melders to be. Naturally, if the current status quo and potency is desired, then a passive lifting of …Personally, I think there is merit to removing protection/dissolve mechanics and rebalancing/rethinking the role and power we want melders to have in combat. As it is now, the difference between meld output when protection is up and when it is down …(Quote) This is, I think, the major problem with fire spreading (and tree chopping) as a conflict mechanic. It simply adds nothing tangible to the game. In that way, it is similar to kick-and-run raiding, as Yarith compared. One of the major …I think only offering one solution would have been more likely to result in a rejection. Of course, that might be me being jaded and jumping to conclusions before they have been made - and if you tell me that I was being overly pessimistic with…A more strongly worded slant to solution 1 may have made them take it up, or it may have not. I don't expect the admin to read my mind to find out how strongly I feel about this, but I believe my report, especially the comments, illustrated to the a…If by uncompromising, you mean my wording of solution 2 itself, I'd like to just say that solution 2 was worded to the best of my ability when it was written. I did not intend for roads to be part of vines, but that fact did not occur to me. I could…And to also be clear, yes, I do have a lot of rancour pent up regarding fire and tree chopping, and a significant portion of it most certainly is directed at the admin for failing, over real-life years, to affect real change to it. And yes, I am bla…(Quote) I AM taking full responsibility of the report, as I have repeatedly stated. Feel free to disagree with my reasoning, but I will say now that if you are implying that I am being deceptive with my elaborations, it is unappreciated and entire…Shedrin, there are plenty of other opportunities for getting "cheap thrills by posting righteous angry forum posts" available to me, I assure you, that doesn't involve the effort of creating an envoy report and waiting for its results. I would respo…
