A sign Glomdoring is loved more than Celenwilde.

Hmm, I like crow spit. Just the balance is long, is all. But, then again, I only use it as a kick-someone-while-down sort of thing (aka, sap lock), so it's hard to tell if it makes a difference.

Scabies does, if you're lucky enough to get it before they get out.
Celina2008-06-11 03:18:05
Spit isn't very helpful. Might as well just do daydreaming or epilepsy since you are assured those will hit.
Ashai2008-06-11 12:40:21
Or rigormortis or dysentry? Spit has pretty alright affs, I think.

From: Estarra, the Eternal
To : Everyone
Subj: Battlechess and Bugs
Changes to Battlechess:
o Squares are now two rooms so as to make it easier to avoid room-based
instakills in fights.
o Limit to fights between players or players and mobs is now three
minutes instead of the previous six.
o You can now select the piece you want to be when joining. See
BATTLECHESS for full syntax.
o Numerous additions to make Battlechess more user friendly, including
more alerts and reminders when time is about to expire.
Thank you for the forum comments and suggestions on Battlechess!
Lots of bug fixes too:
o Being laetitia'd will now show if you are not gaining any benefit due
to having been chanted already recently.
o Upkeeping statues over 125 months left will no longer speed up time to
decay.
o Beast mobs loyal to a player organization like the Ebonglom Wyrdling
will now cry out for help in their own way on their loyal channel.
o Tarot cards flung through world tarot will respect grace properly.
o Hexaura detach now works properly when detaching the same type of hex
twice.
o World tarot's counter will be cleared when defences are usually
cleared (logout, death, etc).
o Ironwill(Psionics) now has a messages in DEFENCES.
o Demigods using essence in arena will not actually drain essence.
o Avatar auras will not work on people at different elevations or if the
Avatar is out of phase.
o Resurgem now checks if the person is in the process of resurrecting
(like from Transmigrate) like Immolation does.
o Resurgem was previously not always limiting resurrection to the same
plane. This has been fixed!
o Inquisition(Sacraments) has been returned in its time length before
announce 1103. <--- omg, stop whining now, plz kthnxbai
o Bug with absolving domoths not spawning mobs has been fixed.
o The curious case of someone able to instantly claim domoths has been
fixed as well!

Wait, they changed inqui back, but not the other completely unnecessary changes? Only one that was actually for a valid reason was the bard afterimage one...

Revan was threatening to quit, -something- had to be done.

These sorts of tantrums usually have the opposite effect from what is intended, really. Pathos appeals make me very wary, and we'll usually put a freeze on rapidly changing anything while passions are running high.
Shiri2008-06-20 06:16:05
Which one is a pathos appeal again?
Xavius2008-06-21 07:30:20
Emotional. Same root as empathy and sympathy.
Shiri2008-06-21 07:40:26
Ok. Weird. Maybe pathology, pathological etc. are a different root altogether.

So, I was curious, and tracked down the answer to this one too.
Same root. It all comes from the Greek word "pathos," which means both suffering and sensation/feeling in practice, and literally translates into "what befalls one."
Unknown2008-06-21 21:39:43
Except the inquisition change was unnecessary, even voted unnecessary by 99% of the envoys and it was implemented anyways.

Subj: Wildarrane Updates
As stated before, we have asked envoys to target specific skillsets
which they feel should may need to be extensive review. The next
skillset up is Wildarrane which has ended up getting a pretty major
overhaul and centering them around calling and manipulating their
ancestral spirits. I'd like to thank Lendren for helping with the
atmospheric texts to merge these spirits into the RP atmosphere of the
guild. Next on our agenda will be a review of Ecology followed by Runes
and Hexes. As for Wildarrane, we have the following updates:
- Replaced PixieDust with AncestralCall.
- AncestralWatch now requires spirits called up with AncestralCall.
Watching spirits now disappear on logoff instead of decaying, and
can be dismissed.
- Replaced SeleneLullaby with SpiritGuard.
- Replaced HartDream with AncientCurse.
- Replaced AlbionAria with AncestralFealty.
- NatureRhythm's winter bonus now depends not on AlbionAria, but on
blizzards (caused by Lowmagic Winter, or naturally).
- Replaced WhiteHorn with AncientFeud.
- Added new song skill CairnLargo.
- Changed the order of skills to move AncientFeud up to other
high-stanza skills. Some mid-stanza skills are now reached earlier.
In addition, the following other changes have been made:
- Bard instakills (Dirge, Threnody, Bardoon, and Requiem) have unique
deathsense messages.
