Sybl, you little twerp, go stick your head in a pig. Seriously. I went to ludicrous lengths to accomodate your pretentiousness in the Cacophony, and then you come up with the saddest, sorriest excuse for a performance I can think of, as it lacked any sort of originality and wasn't anywhere close to being Lusternian. And after bitching, whining, mistreating guild officials and generally being insufferable, you get rewarded for it.

And then you quit the guild and bitch to Aia about me for some utterly spurious reason. Frankly, you're absurdly pretentious, and nevermind how well you're doing in the Harbingers - Your performance for the Cacophony was illusioning a mime, which is something that doesn't even exist in Lusternia and which was permeated by every cliche of every mime performance, ever. Seriously, the amount of shit we went through to accomodate your sorry little arse, and then that. Please, shut up and forget Illusions already.

*laugh* There are so many replies to your post I could make... let's make a list.

-You went to ludicrous lengths. Yeah, right. After I ARGUED the point with you, you made an advancement position that allowed an illusionist to get credit for writing plays.
-the saddest, sorriest excuse for a performance. What, you mean the one that EVERYONE other than you and Joli thinks is great?
-Mimes don't exist in Lusternia? Mimes exist EVERYWHERE. They're like rats.
-Utter spurious reason? What, that you and Joli were extremely rude to me for no reason at all, simply because you are too narrow-minded to know the meaning of the word 'art'? You insulted me for being creative.

And then you end with the age-old classic, insults. When you step up and perform a _quality_ play with illusions, THEN you can talk. It all boils down to the fact that you are most likely jealous of the creative talent that I have and that you apparently lack. Don't pick on me because of your shortcomings.

Wow. Being enemied to an organization for making fun of their deceased and uber respected Goddess.

The situation gets 10 Tzek-points for being realistical and great!

Freedom of speech? Since when is Lusternia a democracy?

Yes, I consider that to be 'ludicrous lengths'. I changed a whole guild structure to accommodate what you wanted to do after you rambled on and bitched about how your art is better than everyone else's art and transcends definitions of what an illusionst is, and what a playwright is. You basically refused to work with other people and wanted to get prestige for doing things on your own, without dealing with actors. And I decided to let you. And I told you I expected something exceptional. What you did was sub-par.

Don't compare yourself to us. We weren't trying to accomplish anything. You, on the other hand, were told you needed to do something exceptional, and you had months to plan it. You failed miserably.

Er, no. Do I really have to answer that? Should I transport you to Ming dynasty china and ask you to find a mime? And the thing is, it does not relate to Lusternia at all. It's something entirely generic which you could've just as easily done in Achaea (Or not, they have higher standards) or Imperian (Again, they have higher standards). You basically ran through a poorly written script, illusioning whenever you got equilibrium back, while me and Joli were sitting there and thinking, "We went through all this trouble for this?".

After your performance my connection was dying and I couldn't do a thing (Otherwise, you would have had a real reason to complain), but please, shut up, turn of your computer and go listen to Linkin Park. You're pretentious. You're irritating. You're disrespectful. You basically acted superiour to everyone else your entire time in the guild, and utterly failed to live up to the expectation. Mimes are already hateful enough without being pretentious tits who think they're better than everyone else because they want to do things the 'different' (Easier, cheaper, crappier) way.

No, shut up. I've won bardic and artisanal merits and I've had books published in Lusternia, so I think I'm qualified to judge your work. The bottom line is, you created a huge expectation and then failed to live up to it. You used illusions out of complete lazyness (If you're going to do a fricken mime show, then do it yourself. Do you have any idea of how idiotic the notion of someone illusioning a stage and then using it to illusion something that is completely mundane and needs no use at all of illusions is? It's like throwing a stone at the fourth wall and raping Suspension of Disbelief's corpse.) Frankly, I regret not having picked on you and actually trying to accomodate you into the guild. I should've just bitchslapped you, if I knew you were going to turn out to be that, and for a good time, I believed you cared deeply and were willing to work to produce something interesting, instead of making something hurried and crappy and shoving it down people's throats like it's a masterpiece.

Oh my! Personal attacks abound! Where is NEjii when you need him! The Horror!

Oh, you mean like the performance you gave in Glomdoring?

I'm going to stop replying to you now, since you are the rudest person I have had the displeasure of meeting in a long time. The fact is that you are wrong, I don't need to prove that point further, you've done a fine job of proving it for me.

This thread's gonna get closed soon I think, I need to make some smores while I still can!



I don't think I'd choose to use illusions to play a mime. Unless I was trying to produce a whole passle of mimes. A herd? A flock? What would you call a group of mimes anyway?

But I don't see why mimes can't exist in Lusternia. Just because there isn't one already? That's not a very dynamic world if only things that already exist can exist.

But you know, there are mimes in Achaea. I played a Jester there once, years ago (before the confusing House thing happened) and one of the performance requirements was to spend a certain amount of time as a mime. I had so much fun emoting everything - I didn't even use Tells unless I just HAD to and didn't use any of the channels at all. I stayed a mime longer than necessary. Then I did a mime performance where I was lassoing an invisible monster that drug me around the room and finally escaped. It was loads of fun. I got a lot of compliments.

That's complety a tangent though!

Don't care. You've earned the rudeness, believe me, tenfold. And please note the bit about shoving it down people's throat. I never said what I did in Deepnight was any good, much less that it was better than what anyone else did. Seriously, leave Lusternia - We have enough arrogant twats (Me, Richter, and some others which wouldn't like to be mentioned) as it is.


A plague. They're like rats, after all.

You should be!

Oi... Waaaaay to many personal attacks... cool it. If you have to use the term "shut up" then you are arguing and not discussing.

Oh suuuuuuuure. Then everyone'd be like "Noola just called me a terrorist!"

Hrm, nice job Jolithrax

I don't think there would have been that much consequences had Viravain been alive and as well as she could be (besides maybe a disfavour or two).

I do believe that is one of our grand skills

Terror of Night and all! You should be deeply affraid, all the while we tell everyone we are a people of peace.

I love you.

I'm not commenting on any of the insults flung my way, but the fact that she thinks I'm jealous is very amusing to me. I can't wait till she takes GA in the harbingers. Oh, please do.

This turned into the best thread ever in the last page or so.

You're welcome.

I haven't thanked you yet.

So, where ARE you hiding your WMDs?

Why, in our moveable guildhall ofcourse!

The stuff that comes out of the backside of the Wyrmling is scary stuff! (well it would be, if we had anyone worth fearing)

Why all the mime hate?

They make me giggle. I love when I run into one... which doesn't happen that often cause I guess that sort of thing isn't very popular where I live.

But then, rats are cute. I had a friend with a pet rat. It was black with a white butt.




Do you really leave through the butt of a living creature when you exit your guildhall? Cause, seriously, that's one of the coolest things ever. Seriously.
