I want to rave about the way players in Lusternia can fight each other tooth and nail and OOCly still get a burger and a beer together. Last night, after one particular round of Glom vs. Seren fighting in ethereal, someone mischanned an OOC tell (I assume it was OOCish) they were sending to Shorlen that was the basic equivalent of "You got me, good, that time. Nice."

I'm not much for OOC communication, but I loved the spirit of this. The recognition that our "bitter enemies" ICly are players playing a game with us. It's a refreshing change from... um... other... games I've played, where people in competing organizations can't even be civil to each other on the forums, much less the game.

I really dig the playerbase, here.

You are the Hierophant of Hartstone in the Hartstone.

But I feel bad for having to contest Jitwix, we were just left with nothing else to do.

Congrats!

And also congrats to Elysiana, and whoever else over there just won an election...

I was trying to be as griefless as possible with the attacks at the end. Shorlen's reasons for wanting to kill as many Glomdorians as he can are hilarious dry.gif But yeah, many of the people I have Shorlen hate are people that I'm very fond of OOCly, especially Forren and Nejii smile.gif I feel bad for some of the things I had Shorlen do to Nejii though sad.gif

I don't think it's possible to OOCly hate Nejii, he's just too nice.

Agreed.

He's still fun to hate ICly, though!

I'll agree with you there, except when he's teasing you about becoming a leader and you may no longer leave. laugh.gif Even then, you hate him for a minute and realize he's kidding.

Someone just woke up when that happened. wacko.gif And someone was nervous as heck, and just not getting the 12 congratulations/switching of clans/leader info messages she was getting.

Also, making people train is a good pro of current circumstances. happy.gif Though I'll probably hate it in a week.

Once in a very, very, very rare while, a good movie has a better sequel. But bad movies never have good sequels.

Keeping up a non-stop patter, you keep wheedling a monk disciple in grey robes
to give up his worldly goods to you in a dizzying display of circuitous logic.
A monk disciple in grey robes sighs dramatically and searches his pockets,
looking for something to give you.
info here
He gives many golden sovereigns to you.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have
advanced to level 84.
You have reached the illustrious level of 2nd Circle of the Fates.

Woot, got to love influencing laugh.gif

cartel attai show 3233

Appearance:
an aslaran doormat
Dropped:
A doormat lies rumpled over the ground here.
Examined:
Perhaps the most distinguished feature of this mat lies in its unique size and shape, consisting of the full length of a prone aslaran and sewn into a squashed outline of the feline creature. Scraggly tufts of sandy fur have been mended into the mat's hemp mesh, seemingly not skinned from a beast but instead forcibly yanked free from a living specimen. This is evidenced by the tears in the fur's roots, as well as the poor condition of the acquired pelt. Golden claws tip each finger of the mat's paws, each marred with splotches of dried blood, whilst a single leaf has been sewn over the aslaran's pride. Gleaming emeralds have been sewn into the aslaran's eyes, and an onyx button supplants the nose.


I'll be immortalized as a rug! Pretty much a dead rug, but still.... immortalized .

Great Kharaen! wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif


EDIT: I just realized.. I died horribly!!! ohmy.gif
I can't help but think that Kharaen have an intense desire to actually do that to me...
Omaygad omaygad!

She's not going to kill you actually, just yank all your fur and nails out.
