RE: Lovecraft suggestions
The Rats in the Walls is one of the very few stories that provoked a strong emotional response from me. It might be a function of it being the first Lovecraft that I read or it being when I was like 14, but… -
That moment when you log in purely to see what goodies @Daraius accidentally sent you so you can use them for evil.
They really aren't that evil. But I… -
It's the first half of Cyaethl. I think you need to repeat it six times to unlock the second quest that actually has an honor, but I'm not sure. Have not done it enough times yet.
It's a baby cave-fisher going all parasitic wasp on a thi… -
Sensing a suitable source of warmth and nutrients nearby, spindly legs erupt from a semi-transparent
brown egg and fling it violently toward a lop-eared horta. The face of the horta shows nothing but
blind panic before being covered by t… -
You do get all the bonus points if you write an epic about how great you are before you talk to us.

Most recent publication is Nitrae, featuring a main character of the same name. Nitraedes is one form that a patronymic indicating descent from Nitrae could take in Greek.

Gaudi put out two books recently, too. Pretty good ones at that. I dunno if they're going to keep it up, but it's a good sign. I like the competition, anyway.

Following that rave:
Unless I have horribly miscounted, I have now personally written and published more books than Gaudiguch. And I wrote a couple of those Gaudi book on an alt! This also leaves me with something like a quarter of Halli'… -
Portius and Tremula are looking for children to build up a new family! It's a Hallifaxian family, but we're open to taking people from Celest and Magnagora as well. Gaudi people might be alright on a case by case basis. Forestals need not, and proba…

So, people seem to like games with lots of powers and triggered events. Who knew? In light of that, I am willing to run my Athenian mafia setup at some point. Just put me on the list and yell when it gets down to me.

I don't know if this is funny out of context. But I laughed.
(Not the usual ridiculous clan): Davos says, "You unwrap a skylark origami, oh know, it was an actual skylark
bird. Your hands are covered in entrails."

Origami questions:
1. Can I send riftables (like cures) through origami?
2. Do things in origami decay while in a stockroom?

I think it's best to view Hallifax as a corrupt bureaucratic despotism type government. Most of us aren't so much about always following the law as we are about agreeing that order is good for everyone and then discretely ignoring laws when it suits…

I don't think I've been this bubbly and uncontainably amused since Isune sent a terrifying, book-mangling penguin at me.

Do powerstones work with weaponenhance?

Yep! Cynics held up dogs as examples of sort of enlightened beings. Here's a reasonably famous scholium (margin note) on it. From "A History of Cynicism" by Donald R. Dudley, 1937:
"There are four reasons why the Cynics are so name… -
Diogenes of Sinope. Famous philosopher of the Kunikoi (which we would render in English as the cynic school but I hate that because cynic has modern connotations that really don't apply. The name actually means something like 'the dog people'. )
It's pretty cool. I'll be honest, Alcibiades deserves his own series on HBO. Imagine a Kardashian who was also an admiral. And Socrates' lover (probably.) Who was exiled and cured (by order of the government) by Athens not once, but twice. And who d…Mixed raving: Like half a week ago my "beloved" academic advisor informed me that I was designing running a simulation on Friday to make people understand why 5th century Athenian politics read like bad fanfiction. Supposed to base it off of Mafia, …Suggestion: In the skill section for tailoring, list the name of each knot made by each skill. Something like An ivory shoulder knot with studded tassels-Paranoia buff.
I really cannot properly express how pleased I am with my own cleverness. Gogo improvisation.
If I may paraphrase a particularly famous Polandball, spiders are cuddle. Not clubble.
I love my spider friends that live in my home and eat all the other bugs.

Or write enough books. Really, any sufficiently useful person can ignore the law as long as they aren't too blatant about it. Which is exactly as it should be for a bearocratic despotism type government.
