I think he could have been influenced differently, or something, also could we please have it 1 per person, seeing as Asmoth in like one fall, got a powerplex Jewel, 100K and 97K, i mean i'm all for it being random, and good for him for getting those three and searching for them, but it's just annoying, it's truly the case of the rich getting richer, while the poor get poorer, there might be one or two different people per gnome fall, that get presents, but it's usually the same people, it really deters you from even trying.

Yes, we're all upset that influence is only used by less than a dozen people for leveling.

Not really. Anyway, I'm not seeing why it's taking so long to influence the gnome for you. Regardless, be lucky you actually found them when there are people who've found like six and don't care about the rest of the population.

I stopped after two, though it seems like the gifts are getting better as time goes on. At least the gold ammounts seem to be rising.

Guess what? Theres a gnome still in Tosha if anyone wants to go freaking get it.

But I find it very unfair to the player base to screw those of us who don't want to spend credits on influencing by making these things influence only.

Oh, and the true insult?

My scroll of enlightenment decayed on me while I was trying to influence the bastard.

I've managed to get gnomes with just having begging. Its just bad luck that you seemed to get a nasty one.

You know what is truly sad. You assume the player base is being screwed when you can't influence something, that is giving away FREE gifts, and some of those FREE gifts are artifacts worth ALOT of money.

The admins are not beholden to you to make it easy to get those FREE gifts. If you can't influence one, ask someone who can to help you. I never had any trouble last year when I was below Master in influencing.

So seriously, thank the admins for actually being decent enough to provide these things, and stop accusing them of screwing over you because for some reason you feel like you should be entitled to these things.

So much hate.

Gregori. I just spent an hour in a very dangerous place trying to influence that gnome.

I am thankful to the admin for providing them. But what good does it do me when everyone ELSE gets the FREE stuff that's so great? And all I get is a huge slap in the face (Yes, I know it isn't intentional but it still is freaking frustrating). YOU go to Tosha and YOU dodge hunters and animal spirits for an hour. It isn't like someone can just tessract into the spirit plane to help me. BECAUSE WE TRIED.

And how many influencers can survive in Tosha to help me anyways?

You took the risk upon yourself trying to influence there. It was your choice alone. I have been to Tosha thanks, plenty of times. The fact remains you are accusing the admins of screwing you over cause you suck at influencing.

Gregori. Just let me be indignant over the fact that the ONE gnome I've found in the last TWO days has the will of a god okay?

It's easy to talk high and mighty when you're not the one experiencing it.

Just let it go. Serrin is just aggrivated at the moment, and instigation isn't going to help the situation.

I don't care if your indignant. Sure it sucks that you couldn't influence it. However, when you accuse the admins of purposefully screwing you over, when they are doing something they don't even have to bother with, and handing out things that cost alot of people hundreds of dollars to get, and some of which can't even be bought at all. That's where you are going over the line.

you're right Gregori. I retract any statements I might have made suggesting the admin were screwing me over. That was stupid.

I'm still very very frustrated though.

Bah, enough.

Serrin spent an hour begging a gnome. Since I know people with inept influence getting presents, I assume it was a buggy gnome, or a super gnome. Since I've not heard of any kind of a super gnome yet... I dunno.

And, as an update, I got a paintbrush, and the one I yoinked from Ishimoru had a ton of vials in it. Mailed that one back though.

Thanks so much to the kind soul that sent me the great rune of enchantment, whoever you are.

The majority of what I got are poisons to which I put most of in a divinely wrapped present to give to Iraen. So while I found a few gnomes, I am giving alot of what I found to someone who couldn't be here to find gnomes.

Edit: besides maybe next time she catches me killing merians she will not make me publically shout my apology if I give her pretty presents.

I got a powerplex jewel and about 100k in gold

Asmoth

Well, after I calmed down. I dragged Richter to Tosha. It took him 8-10 tries I think at Trans influence.... got 5 potions and a bottle of absinthe...

Ah well, at least I know I didn't give up a cubix to some random person.

I will gladly accept any artifacts you may find, and will promise to plant trees as often as possible!

Fun times overall and thanks to the higherups for keeping us entertained this time around again! I like the addition of a unique idea at the end, and wonder how long till we see it copied in other IRE realms.

Darn stupid family and darn stupid job. I could only spend like 45 minutes total in the game this whole weekend so I couldn't find a gnome.
