I wish to join your order please. I have poked your master shrine several times in an attempt to get your attention. May have to up my actions to catch your eye.



Then you'll fix bookbinding to actually help people have a good enough source of income close to the majority of the other trades? Howlers also.

To be fair, if you notice the KGB aspect of the city, clearly the KGB isn't doing its job.

And as to howlers: yesplz.

Sure, as long as it was understood that was the only reason I was a protector. Seems the GC and GM could keep a list: Guardian Protectors and Regular Protectors. Guardian Protectors were only Protectors to run guardians and didn't get as many (if any) special privileges for doing so and aren't eligible for promotion to Security. Regular Protectors are eligible for promotion and can have whatever special privileges Cities/Communes and Guilds offer them.

And, really, who cares if it adds a bunch of names to Help Whateverguild's list of Protectors?

Good idea!

Two good ideas in one week? I need to slow down! I'll run out of my yearly allotment if I'm not careful!

But thanks. It just seems to make sense to me.

While I don't write large books, or stuff, I do make lots of pretty designs for Hallifax, so there's at least one person in the Institute who thinks of themselves as an artist. I like to think I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts, instead of Science *hide*

I like shiny Hallifax. And yes, when can we steal Lady Isune? *hide*

Since the release of the Guardian guilds I have edited my signature to something you may find more appropriate!

I can only speak for myself here, obviously, but I definitely would. For largely the same reasons you outlined in a previous post, too, that Protectors are basically Security-in-training. I think these would be a -fantastic- way of overcoming my main obstacle in learning combat, like I've been trying for a while: acclimating myself to the speed and rapidly changing nature of combat.

Right now, every time I try, I basically go "omgomgsomuchhappeningwhatdoidowhatdoido." And when I finally figure out something I was told to react to happened - "Ok, this is happening, so I'll try this. What just happened? Did I do anything? Oh, I missed it and was way too late." Repeat.

And I was told once to try doing just one thing, like Web people over and over again, and that's it. Except people kind of don't seem to care when I do. Last time I tried, they were probably laughing at me, they certainly didn't care. They killed the rest of the group, and then just sat there talking to each other about how they just won, while I was still standing there. Didn't even take the time to register me as a threat and kill me.

Anyway, I sincerely think the nexus guardians could help with this, for a lot of the reasons already stated. Chiefly, there is less you CAN do in them, and less that can affect you directly, so it's far, far less to be thinking about when you're trying to acclimate yourself to combat. The only reason I haven't so far, is that somebody who was apparently misinformed or something told me, when I asked as a novice, that they were used only for Nexus Battles... which don't happen anymore.

I think I'm going to go ask for Protector now.

Why can't our patron be as involved as Elostian tends to be?

Edit: For Nexus Guardians, I didn't even know they existed. Maybe they were made while I was away? Dunno.

I think they were made mid-September last year, although I could be off. They've never seen much (if any) use though.

EDIT: Announce 1384, 9/6/2009.

Where's the Lusternia website page that actually lets you log in and isn't broken?

Revisit the login URL and it'll show you a screen with 'Hello, Characternamehere!' and then you'll be considered fully logged in. I usually have to do this for bardics, at least.

(And by revisit - I mean open it in a new tab or c/p the URL or similar, don't just click on the login button.)

No, you need to be an undersecretary to become a Secretary. In hindsight I suspect you might mean 'security', but even then, nothing says you need to make a protector security.



These are matters of player perception and how guilds decide to utilize their privileges. I know it sounds rather callous, but that's 'not our fault', and is something your guild should address.



That's quite a lot of coding for a feature that's never used (and may not be even then). In a time when we're strapped in terms of coding resources, spending time changing something that probably still won't be used seems like a waste.

Re Xenthos, I didn't know they could DEFEND - pretty nifty, that. Granted, there's still nothing saying you can't use the protector position as pilots too.

Why can't female characters bow (or male ones curtsey)? I still stubbornly attempt to BOW every single time, even though I know it's just going to make me curtsey. And yes, I realize I can just emote it, but that's just not the same and you know it isnt. It just seems silly to force people to stick to the "proper" one for their gender.

I've wondered this my entire IRE life.

Clearly Estarra wants all females to be proper young ladies

I made one of my alts a custom bowing emote, and every time she does it, she gets looks from people like "What are you doing."

Breaks my heart.

I believe Achaea actually made it so males can curtsey and females can bow quite a while ago, i.e., removed the gender barrier.

No, the idea is to notice it just enough to scare you all into not having to see it anymore.

What type of weapon is best for hunting for a Blademaster?

And as a furrikin, which is better to invest in, Athletics to flex, or working on transcending Blademaster?
