Glomdoring is... not quite what I had hoped. But I'm sure you all know that.

Xenthos, you never know what they will or will not do.

We have some amazingly dedicated admin willing to redo just about anything if they think it will have more than just a cosmetic affect.

... Josun would be devastated if people started to acknowledge the Taint is in Glomdoring. Even if it was Viravain. He'd follow Her no matter where She went, but he'd be torn up over anyone saying it's Tainted, even if it was Her. He already confronts people in tells when they say things like "Serenwilde pure forest gone, nothing but tainted forest left" over the Commune aether.

And then he'll look like a bloody idiot to not only the world but the rest of Glomdoring if he sits there continuing to say it's not Tainted. But perhaps that could be fun...

And welcome back, Sobran.   

I don't think Shadowdancers have to be banned from emotion. I follow Night and I'm not emotionally-inept. I enjoy things, get mad, whatever, am happy, cuddly (In private and not often though, but I can be!) I feel that Moondancers and Shadowdancers are nearly the same thing except for a few little things. I think Shadowdancers are more fanatical and harsh, but at the same time, I think when something works out (Maybe I don't know, we get fae over into EtherGlom or something) there is an outpouring of cheer. Like, I am not evil, no where close to it. I may not be "good", but I have never considered myself evil. I don't have a problem with Shadowdancers being all compassionate. We do actually have pacifist Shadowdancers, too. But if I was to get my wish and what I wanted happened in Lust--Serenwilde and Glomdoring would be more friendly. Not like the best of allies, but certainly not outright enemies. I think that would be my favorite situation. You know, they'd have a little conflict here and there, but deep down, and when it came to it, they'd be united.

Hatred isn't all about shouting "Die!" at people.

Compassion has nothing to do with snuggles/massive displays of public affection. At all. In any form.

If you every actually tried to figure out IC what 'Compassion' meant, you'd find it means doing what you know is best for another, even if they disagree. The taint is bad, and those tainted are afflicted. The best way to help them is to kill them, repeatedly, and hope that through their many trips to the Fates, the taint seeps out of them.

At least, this is what Shorlen believes from what he's heard

Actually, she sure seemed to be warming up to Glomdoring. Never once did Shayle get that H-A-T-E-S sentiment from Isune. In fact, she was quite clear that what was outside didn't matter much to her....and did mention that Celest had been acting...in a way she wasn't impressed with.

Y'know...here I thought Penelope was the perkiest person in Glomdoring, but now I'm starting to question that after reading all of Astraea's posts.

You are sure you aren't just another personality of Guido?
