  • (Quote) I've heard 92 pretty consistently, and it fits a lot better with my experience.  From recently doing the demi grind, I would guesstimate reaching demi from titan took 6-8 times longer than level 98 to 99, as long as you keep up the same xp…
  • I finally finished the book I've been working on for a while for the Hallifax library/Bardics.  I am pretty relieved to have it done before the end of the month.
  • That moment when -THE- divine scholar walks into your tea party:



    Holding a book aloft, Shanfer Brigginston casually wanders in from the north.

    Shanfer Brigginston, an eager and intrepid scholar strolls in, utterly e…
  • I am prepared to write legislation wherein we agree to instanced hugs in each organization, witnessed by public notaries and with randomized distribution of each organizations citizens to each location.  The document will be sixty-four pages long, t…
  • Apparently, the Celest equivalent to Fraesic can be told to shut up for an IG day.  I have never been so jealous
  • I would really like to see the weighting system for published books broken converted from thresholds to a direct formula (such as the 200 words per weight that the current thresholds fit).  I know that while we're writing, in Simple Ideas Comment by Zitto April 2015
  • I'd also point out that you'll never be a particularly effective member of a class from outside of your own org.  In addition to flex rights being revokable, my understanding is that almost every skill that uses power in an org-specific skillset req…
  • From the Hallifax orglog:
    2015/04/22 21:43:29 - Cirenia was citizened by Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix.

    Any bets on how I misread this, causing me to literally fall out of a chair at work?
  • Grading final lab reports, I have a student dead to rights on plagiarism and data falsification, which means several boring hours before the honor council for both of us.
  • (Quote) This ten-minute jailing is a masterpiece.
  • (Quote) I would definitely withdraw any claims if somebody from Hallifax or Celest with a log backed this up.  Since I wasn't logging, all I have is the blur of the gank, and I admittedly got separated from the group almost immediately during this…
  • (Quote) I would argue that there've been a number of other benefits, and that there was particularly a lot of support during the early parts of the alliance shift where Glomdoring was getting back on its feet, especially in contrast to the friend…
  • (Quote) I would definitely point at this for why people seem upset for what would otherwise be PK as usual.  Glomdoring's move at ascension was surprising (and from our perspective, awesome) and the fun of things like in Tweets VI: The Tweetsixteenth Comment by Zitto April 2015
  • (Quote) I would have handed it over after a bit of protest, but I don't have any hard feelings.  At the time, we were all just rushing to get involved in what looked like it might be a one time deal, so Adracunin and I were trying to figure out th…
  • (Quote) ...Was that a pun?
  • Edit: Not as amusing upon further reflection
  • An artifact aethercraft module with no functionality other than that it lets you move while remaining locked into it.  Call it a 'Slivvener's Harness' or something.
  • The curse of the Hallifax chairman is upon me: Real Life Zitto has gained nearly ten pounds since the election.
  • (Quote) You promise, Tarky?
  • It would be handy to be able to provide the argument 'all' for 'read book page (#)' to just get the whole text in one block for copy and paste purposes.  I have heard horror stories about the code the underlies books, so I am not actually sure how s…

  • (Quote) There are almost always avarice horns available in the aetherplex, if you're looking for one.
  • (Quote) I get where you're coming from here, but I feel like this is simply the consequence of all of our experiments being made-up handwaving.  Because we're making up our data and results rather than dealing with inconvenient reality, theories ne…
  • (Quote) This idea in general, and a quote from Game of Thrones, is going to be the cornerstone of a conversation about the castes.

    Maybe don't have the word swindler or mountebank in your title when dealing in matters that involve trust? :P

  • I am imagining Hallifaxians looking with amused contempt on publications of "People of  'Plex Mart" inspired by "People of Walmart"
  • I feel like now is a good time to show off the Shevat logs from this weekend, while I was grinding out demi:

    2015/03/27 02:22:08 - The House's eyes are raised as its honour improves: Zitto's convincing nature is well known throughout the …
  • Very fun conversation with @Tarkenton that definitely changed Zitto's character arc.  I am delighted at our transition from casual threats to very personal ones…
  • @Talan, there's a DivineTattoo buff for up to a 10% bonus at 100 weight.  There's also the divine cookies from ur'traps for earning esteem, but they don't change th…
  • (Quote) The most interesting thing I can think of regarding adding acids to food involve the reason why seafood is commonly served with lemon.  This practice began prior to electrical refrigeration, when such products had a certain amount of time …
  • Sorry if I sounded a bit cranky.  I just like any chance to discuss science, and chemistry in particular.  

    Hydrostatic is the easier part to discuss.  The term hydrostatic refers to one of two concepts: in a chemical sense, it describes …
