I was?

i'd like to point out to those who think that Gaiduchi and Hallifax would naturally ally with the opposing cities confuse me. while yes they were fighting each other, neither was apparently tainted, if anything they would be neutral perhaps even taking a dislike to both Glomdoring and Magnagora(though they were still around for the taint wars)while still fighting each other. regardless the dracnari of Gaiduchi appeared far to paranoid to trust anyone, my guess is that Hallifax would ally with Celest though.

also i hope that if any of the three are brought back that a group of players can get together with which ever god/dess is incharge and actually work through everything, possibly even have them develop and play their characters abit so that whats happened (and still is happening) in Glomdoring can be avoided, just think one day there could be an event where someone releases ackleberry and actually finds a fully functioning commune (possibly allowing current characters to be renamed and incarnated within ackleberry so that they can come out not needing to depend on someone else).

by the way Ackleberry would probably ally with serenwilde and seren would probably withdraw support from celest as they would be more inclined to help a fellow nature commune (though i don't speak for the circle).

It's Gaudiguch.

Gaudiguch and Halifax will come out before Ackleberry, hail Gauidugch!!

i still say Ackleberry, theres two full cities to build for Gaudiguch and Hallifax. as well as the fire, air, vortex and continuum planes. plus putting in the guardian skills. Ackleberry would be an extension to faethorn(i think the western side and yes i know ackleberry was on the east in prime) and hmm two? new skill sets
the only unique skill in the communes are the totem specialisations from what i've seen. so two mastery skillsets over four(six if the guardians get two unique specialisations)?

meh but thats just my pov. perhaps they'll surprise us and release them all at the same time

I say we work on fixing the newest place before we think about any others.

yeah, it would be nice if glom "retreated within itself for a few months" and came out fixed but that isn't likely

I hope you all realise we haven't even decided how/when/why Ackleberry will come back, or what it will be like when it will.

So you all speculating on it is tantamount to insanity, it's like speculating on where the insurgence will be centred in the next country George Bush invades.

hehe i don't think Lisaera likes George Bush. (urg whats with that whole award to John Howard thing)

We've speculation via Yrael's or someone's bug abuse that parts of Vortex is already built. I really wish I knew how he did it. I'm dying to see them.

Dementia shows you funky rooms.

Hmm. It's probably best we not look for methods of exploiting. Simply pointing out speculation that Estarra gets bored from time to time and might be actually have Vortex in Her Closet.

i would like to know how they are going to write in the ethereal links to the new elemental realms. though i am longing to see an unconventional commune/city, like a city of pyromancers who are accompanied by Sun Wiccans or whatever.

hehe

They're already ready. They just need the extra, what, 3 rooms? for the archway. Faethorn is perfectly balanced for four communes, and four cities.

wwooo idea. perhaps a sea commune? if you want perfect balance where would the fourth commune fit? plus who said the gods have to connect ethereal to faethorn(it might not make sense if they didn't but hey they could blame it on Vira)?

...a sea commune?

Yeah, forgot about that one. We're getting the master cactus nexus as well, remember?

well just watch for needles when you link. also just think perhaps a complete new totems skillset with the Great Sea spirits mentioned by Captain Vlath Symfale.

He meant the kelpies, I believe.

As far as I know, there is no indication there was ever a "sea commune". We're getting a bit silly here.

The Spirits of the Crystal Sea are different than River, I think. Ackleberry IS the water commune, more or less. Since their Greater Fae is, well, River and all.

The fourth one doesn't exist, but it's driven most of us to the assumption one exists, since, well. It just wouldn't be balanced.
