I have a problem with being in a commune:

Rp-wise, I really love glomdoring. I wouldnt trade it for anything else

But combat-wise, its bare compared to the on-going bitterness between Celest and Magnagora.

The problem is, an enterprising young bard cannot really raid ethereal serenwilde alone. Whereas the earth and waterplane can easily be entered and the lords slain, the entrance to ethereal serenwilde are guarded by a few bazzilion frost hags.. its as if, the entrance to the elemental planes transfers you directly to the pool/megalith.. I dont know why that is.. but its a big discouragement to raiding..

Cant the entrances be moved away from the guard please?

Or even -- Is there someplace I can raid? cmmon, I got all this nifty moves ive been practicing and I dont have anything to apply it on..

Look, I dont like jumping people without cause, what I want is do something that that will affect the commune as a whole.. i.e slaying the tidelords affects power, the demonlord of nil can be turned into angels (soo cool).. stuff like that..

And no, I dont want to get caught up in the celest-magnagora thing. I want to do the Glomdoring-Serenwilde
thing..

I was bored out of my mind in Glom. So were a lot of people. I think in an attempt to fix all their problems and grab new members, they just got incredibly dull as far as conflict goes. Especially now since Seren is more concerned with Mag than Glom.

Camp Ethereal and wait for someone to walk through? The best I can think of.

Come to Celest (Did I do it right?)

Anyways, stir up some trouble. Get Celest mad at Serenwilde and ally with Magnagora and then use Magnagora merely as a stepping stool to hit Serenwilde.

Don't be ebil. Ebil is cute and nibbly. Evil is beautiful and spiteful. Vicious and horribly mean.

Ebil is a kitten. Evil is a woman

Yep. As far as most things go, actually.

I blame the fact that prime Glom has nothing to raid but the Ebonglom Wyrdling.

I blame Magnagora, they are more fun to raid than Glomdoring, or so those Serens tell me.

Maybe if Glom picked fights without needing Thoros to nudge them along, then we'd see something happening.

But yes, Mag fights us, plus we can have melds on Nil, so it makes for more fun times (plus no choke!).

But yes, compared to city vs. city, commune vs. commune is tamer, but on the upside, we're actually pretty nice to each other as far as sportsmanship goes (less stress overall too).

I survived so long without chop...now YOU people had to ruin it all.

The best place for the communes to fight is Faethorn, and Faethorn is griefy by nature. It's a low level influencing ground for power shared by both communes, and no one on the plane is more than ten seconds from anyone else. Even if the fight starts out between willing combatants, it turns into insecure bastards on both sides griefing little people for days to come.

I read from somewhere that EtherWilde and EtherGlom were fortresses. Yes, they are.

Yes, I agree - conflict for communes pls. Move the entrances to the Ethereal forests away from the guards...How can you expect to raid when the welcoming commitee of 100 hags hates you???

conflict4communes

...like Celestia/Nil, right?

Let's not. We raided Etherglom earlier, were outnumbered 2-1, in liveforest and (partly) demesne and got out without monoliths. Bring a ship over.

Like I've been saying for the past 2-3 years now....DELETE GLOM

I've never had the chance to fix anything before

Don't start with me. You aren't cute

No. Nothing like Celestia and Nil.

There are no rifts leading into etherGlom or etherSeren. Nor are there cubix exits.

Really? I got a new haircut. That might be it.

If you are really desperate for conflict, go druid dreamweaver and harass whoever is not moving in Seren. Especially with void...I wish I had that

So you were good..

however, how can people.. people who are just starting over be encouraged to raid.. thats the question I think.. Like in celest, being able to raid earth alone is some sort of crucible everyone who wants to call himself a fighter goes thru...

Although, there would be lots of dying and the population of glomodring being as it is..

but im sure if the ethglom/seren gets opened.. serenwilde will exercise the outmost restraint..

right?



You two need to.. talk..

Ok, fine, I forgot about the rifts. There was a reason I ignored cubix exits but I forget what that is. (btw, you can cut off rift access pretty easy.)

Noctu: people aren't SUPPOSED to be able to raid orgs alone. Flux enabling that is a side-effect, not an enabler.

Take a group.

Unless they have Trueheal and a cubix. I suppose that's another topic...

Huh. I always enjoyed the 1 or 2 skilled raiders against the 3 or 4 semiskilled defenders more then the massive spamfights of the cities. Some of my favorite times were Eamon and I trying to hold off against Sharael/Shamarah and come up with some interesting ways to beat choke. Combat gets boring when it gets to 3v3 or more.
