I think that it's purposefully left vague. Hajamin's saying it is "pretty taint," but all the Gods are saying different things I imagine.

Hrrm. Removing defoliation would sort of be saying 'it isn't taint', keeping it is like 'it is'. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

Well Ham-jammin is biased.

Everyone is biased.

Just a weeeeee bit!

Guido, you should bug that ingame. Remeber, the area was not revamped or anything, so its very possible its a seperate flag. I wouldn't base anything on game mechanics quite yet.

Technically, the Glom is still tainted. It's just been infused with power and beauty. Hajamin's assessment is quite right - it's pretty taint. Pretty strong, as well.

I know how Kalo views it. I think, for the most part, it's a pleasant change. Kalo's view, that is.

I don't think it is either Tainted or back to a natural form. It is something new entirely, in my opinion.

Based on the logs that Xenthos made it looks like the Fae have created something to combat the taint.. but I could be wrong. (and don't tell the Mags that)

Seren would only ally if you left Magnagora's side and quit using them or them using you . If you guys can do that since y'know Murphy would suicide before that happens cause he fears change then you guys would probably be less picked on. Allying with the taint, Being the taint. Using the taint. etc is not okay. Although I use the taint everyday

To me, it looked like the Fae were saying, "whoa, look at this new thing, be careful everyone!"

I don't know how you get that they're creating an anti-taint device.

The shadow Fae are telling their enemies to beware, s'all.

Wyrd is an old word. Its something that will change the path the fates previously set. The Fates where there when the Taint was relased, and they have been invoked again for this event.

The creature also did some wierd things after the fae announced its comming. As if to herald thier creation.

Yeah, so... how do you get the anti-taint device?

umm... how did you get the idea of an anti-taint device?

I said they discovered a method to combat taint. Never before in the history of the basin has the mark of kethuru been removed.

i wish Auseklis was back, i'd really like to hear what he'd have to say on the subject IC.

Huh? Viravain did a pretty good job...

She did?

...yes. Then the whole Kethuru event happened...you know, where I kept blaming Raezon and you Serenwilde?

I thought those spots were gloriana, not a clean glomdoring.


edit: Meaning She created a new gloriana spot, as apposed to this where the wyrdling sucked the taint out.

edit2: Its like when a person smelts a sword and then reforges, as appopsed to someone who takes an existing sword and polishes and sharpens it.
