  • (Quote) Look, one can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
  • I've been enjoying Grimkeep and finding a secret and summoning a supermob nobody had found yet (and then murdering her) felt pretty good.
  • Double post but this snippet amused me greatly.


    Seritul d'Vanecu looks to the bones in your hands. "Oh no," he shakes his head, "I would not keep my Mother here. She is in the crypt proper above as befits her station."
  • (Quote) Lots of good family lore, some very amusing moments, and teasing for possible future things to be found. It was great!
  • Just an everyday psychodrama battle with @Sapphira

    Gesticulating in a wild exaggeration, you say, "Lady Grey, I challenge you!"
  • It recently came to my attention that outside of America, Edgar Allan Poe may not be as universally read as it is here.

    In the spirit of Halloween here is a reading of two of my favorite stories from him.

    The Cask of Amontillad…
  • Talking with Brilyn about costumes. Sometimes its the small interactions that are tons of fun!
  • You open 'damned' to all members of D'Vanecu.
    You spend 250 bound credits to open typecast 'damned' to all members of D'Vanecu.

    Kind of wish I tried thrice-damned, but it probably wouldn't have been approved anyways. Either…
  • The volunteer admin having events and lots of emails to respond to shouldn't affect the approval process which is done by player reviewers.  The admin team only review things that are flagged for divine review (which you can check while a design is …
  • (Quote) A 20-crystal wonderwand will always outdamage a gnome weapon per a single attack. However, the gnomeweapon has the edge because each gear splits its damage into an additional hit, so it's possible to kill multiple NPCs in one balance …
  • 1.  There's tons of little things I enjoy. Excluding events, the fact that you can get blown off the clockwork tower in Magnagora is hilarious.
    2.  This is the topic of a writing contest I started actually! Excluding the Twelve who are obviousl…
  • Mostly Spelunky 2, with a dash of Hades and Crusader Kings 3.

    For board games I have a pretty regular campaign going of Arkham Horror Card Game which was moved to a tabletop simulator mod instead of being in person.
  • Not to get further offtopic here, I see report 183 which doesn't make any mention of sharing wins.
  • I was mulling something about wargame tournaments happening more frequently for orgpoints or something.

    Unfortunately either its hosted manually by admin (time intensive for them) or its an automated system which is both coding resources …
  • How accurate are the activity scores in CULTURE for judging playerbase distribution?

    Right now when I check I'm seeing:
    Serenwilde:   14%
    Magnagora:    22%
    Gaudiguch:    15%
    IHC:                          51%

  • My biggest fear with an economy overhaul is that we end up with a system that creates a tedious need to upkeep another layer of things. I hope the admin please make sure we do not get into that territory.

    As an example, making the tradesk…
  • I'll add in a question here. Is there something that you particularly enjoy watching the playerbase do (eg, trying to figure out quests, popping in to watch pk, randomly thinking/emoting to themselves with nobody around, etc)?

    1.  Don't really have one.  If we include sharded elders, I really liked how Mugowumpois was portrayed, even if I'm not really interested in playing a mugwump.
    2.  Being interesting without being annoying I guess? Uzriel ge…
  • Having been the Geochemist since forever, this amused me after having an interest in necromancy and finally deciding to branch out and classflex to Nihilism.

    You will now be known as Necrochemist Uzriel d'Vanecu, the Demagogue of Dis…
  • To be honest I'm not sure what the defense overhaul actually would entail.

    There are some defs that come to mind as being more important to make easy on new players to upkeep than others.

    Sleep tactics aren't really widely used…
  • While discussing the tried and true parenting method of locking his children in The Box.

    Voice muffled by his mask, you say, "Zau, you learned Geomancy to escape the box. Vella just learned necromancy and let herself die to wait it o…
  • (Quote) How did I forget Ixion. He was a huge influence on game mechanics like pk, quests, and in general. Also Mag was doing a little quiz looong ago before ascension events even started and Uzriel won, Ixion making a joke about the next kno…
  • (Quote) 1. Both Kailanna and Vatul for that very proper noble bearing.
    2. I liked the idea of a character so obsessed with (addicted to) geochemantic fumes that he was constantly breathing them through a respirator. From there the plague…
  • Since whatever may have happened was apparently scrolled off the buffer, we can't really be sure if that's actually what happened or not. I'm willing to give the playerbase the benefit of the doubt on this.

    There may be been some user err…
  • (Quote) I'm not sure if I should feel called out or like its time to ask Carakhan about all Her secrets.
  • @Kailanna regarding item 4.  Mention it IC to Uzriel IC, he's pieced together some of it but is also interested in learning more about it. That's also a very coo…
  • (Quote) 1.  N/A
    2.  I can't help but feel like there was probably a lot of roleplay and class development that got lost from the old guilds. Are there lots of Nihilist or Geomancer books about their brands of faith that were essentially …
  • Not necessarily a superstition but Uzriel subscribes to the old Geomancer belief that water is not just inferior to earth but disgusting and should be avoided at all costs.  Needless to say that puts Carakhan about even with the Soulless in terms of…
