Yes and as I said, I got off easy if you ignore the the single word Lanikai could spare to insult me and Albion being the single most disappointing experience in the Moondancers (I'm sorry, but I hate sincere faith that Mother Moon would be more there for us than: If you've lost your faith don't talk to me. It really did hurt my feelings because after all the smack in Faethorn, I was hoping we could find a support network somewhere. It just didn't happened because as I said, Serenwilde is the antichrist).

EDIT:

In reflection, I can see some of the venom in my words. I apologize. I've been miserable for a week with a group of miserable people. This is like 7 days of hell exploding at once and as such, its more intense than it probably should be... but my message, I feel, correctly sums up how I feel and what I have gathered from other people... but it is more rude than I intended. Sorry.

Actually, when I was being persecuted the worst (and was giggling that the girl ran away screaming from me ), White Hart gave me encouragement and a sign of support.

Albion sure didn't. I'm jealous.

Yea I was as confused as hell until I went and talked to maeve and straighted a few things out but after I did that it was all great.

Out of curiousity, do you have a transcript of your conversation with Albion, Narsrim? I'd be interested to see it, either by PM or here, if you don't mind.

And, like always, the Ebonguard and Serenguard are left to follow after, confused...

Going to have to give Narsrim credit here. If anything, the event should have ended by getting a reinforcing message from the patron spirits. One of the Avatars from each side should have said something. Maybe Albion could have said that a fae in Serenwilde still brings blessings for Mother Moon, and in turn, for the commune. Maybe Lhiannan could have gone all psychotic on us, asking why we listen to Maeve instead of her. The event was decent, but from what I'm hearing (I wasn't there for most of it, 80% is second-hand), not much was actually advanced in the world, except that Faethorn is more than an excuse to kill Gloms and gloat.

*is an Ebonguard*

*is up-to-date*









...




*is also far cooler than you*
Naw, j/k. You just would've needed to talk to Ash while we bashed Gorgogs. He's rather chatty while bashing.

Hey, by the way... is the Song quest anti-commune?

I desperately want that honors line, moreso than any other I've seen yet.

Pretty sure it isn't. Haven't had a chance to talk and discuss Serenwilde's stance on that yet but it probably won't be negative. *shrug*

That was me. I never understand why only certain players get to play a key role in events. When I went to queen Maeve alone and tried to talk to her ,the guards gave me the faethorn equivalent of " You stupid piece of . Shut the up!!"

That involves being able to stay on long enough to talk.

From what I can tell... At first Queen Maeve was upset that the two communes were battling in Faethorn over who got the fae (wasn't there a battle between Moon and Night?). She said today that both Mother Moon and Mother Night were a part of her (along with all the other Great Spirits of all the forests), and that she was not going to pick sides. She did not object to either commune bringing fae to either Moon or Night. However, she did not like that fae were being turned into imps and cherubs. She said that once a fae was converted to Nil or Celestia that the resulting creature was no longer a fae (this was in reference to whether or not the once-fae creatures on Nil and Celestia would hear the song of Ail'Fae).

As for the start of the event, when both communes, particularly Serenwilde, were being labeled as "slavers"... My only guess is that this was because both sides were trying to horde the fae for their own gain (last I checked, fae earned power for the commune).. and in response the fae revolted and began to come back to Faethorn.

It's a bit confusing to me.. but I suppose it's understandable. I think Maeve simply wants there to be no fighting between the communes over the fae, and that if the fae are being endangered by the cities, that they be protected by both communes.

There is something interesting to note about the whole event, though... It seems that the song of Ail'Fae removes ALL fae brought from Faethorn from both Etherglom and Etherwilde.. and puts them back in Faethorn. I'm going to make a guess and take it that this is to keep things balanced for the communes when it comes to who has the most fae. This could potentially (unless it doesn't work for them) be useful for cities in that it would remove the fae from the ethercommunes and put them back in Faethorn, thus putting them back into play. So in a sense, it could be an anti-commune quest... or it could be a pro-commune quest, depending on how it is used.

Then again.. what do I know

I suppose one possible good thing about this event is that the communes may need to fight in aetherspace to stop the cities getting to the Tree of Trees or back. Not really at the moment, but maybe when the specializations come out.

Edit: Actually, that's not true. Prize return and demesne centre means you don't actually need to fly aetherships to get between the bubbles.

Take two trans artisans with you, leave one ship at the Tree, and one ship docked on Prime. Artisan A uses PRIZE RETURN to get to the Tree. Artisan B uses PRIZE RETURN and they're back on prime.

Damn, well, it was close.

Good luck to that. I can make it from Faethorn to the Tree in under 10 seconds going through aetherspace.

Personally, I'd just like to see the event post reflect the actions of the leaderships of the communes more.

There should be some sort of recognition from the fae that Glomdoring did not wish to enslave them, and released them while Serenwilde did not, even if that recognition is completely RP and doesn't change any sort of mechanic.

I'm sure Glomdoring can focus on the song quest instead of the gaterhing fae quest now, which seems to be anti-commune if your collecting fae, but not anti commune if your not collecting fae.

Aye, we've been discussing that Glomdoring is likely to use the new anti-commune quest... but I'm not sure how we can stop you. We can't fight in Faethorn, and you don't need to cross aetherspace. Fighting at the aetherbubble is kind of difficult (if not impossible), and it's been mentioned it is likely to make the Tree mad.

Something of note: Perriwinkle does not want Butter baking honeycakes. So if you wanted to prevent honeycakes from being made and fae from being gathered... Well, I'm sure someone will figure that out.

Dearest Players:

Your call has been answered! The next event will be so player-active that you would never even know the admin were involved.. In fact: The admin won't be involved! Have at you, and enjoy the next event. I know we will.

All sarcasm aside, isn't that ideal? A situation created by players, for players where all sorts of people can be involved and the results are open ended, tailored to drives, expectations, and actions of said players?
