I kinda think anything you can look at in the game is IC even if you might call it something else. Levels are circles, help files are scrolls, etc.

Maybe refering to it as 'topguilds' instead of something like 'guild rankings' or something was a little lacking in creativity, but topguilds itself isn't really OOC, I don't think.

Think of it this way, even in real life, factions, orginizations, and guilds from opposing sides still try and see who the 'top' person is.

So why would the Top Guilds ingame be OOC? Because we don't know who did the polling? Because it's easily accessable?

As for Chroi's balls...

Because of the vote rating.

I don't think that matters so much. I mean all the helpfiles have syntax instructions, but the 'scrolls' are still considered IC.

I has a black background, so that emote looks like a constipated smiley.

'Boo!' you scream happily at a translucent ghost.
A translucent ghost wails in confusion and fright, leaping into your hands and covering your body with a layer of cold frost that soon fades.


I'm gonna have fun.

I couldn't help but post it...it was incredibly adorable and made me laugh.

Urazial steps down off of a large, white stallion with a braided tail.

Myrkr blinks.

"Oooooooooh!" Myrkr says to a large, white stallion with a braided tail, eyes
wide with wonder.
A large, white stallion with a braided tail swishes his tail mildly.

A large, white stallion with a braided tail begins to follow Urazial obediently.

Myrkr pets a large, white stallion with a braided tail ingratiatingly.

Urazial's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

Autumnal Spinner Myrkr Inseira, Initiate of Night's Secrets smiles impishly and
says to Urazial, "He's sure pretty."

Urazial ponders a large, white stallion with a braided tail thoughtfully,
looking him up and down.

Myrkr hugs herself, causing shadows to fly out from her grip and swathe her like a clinging cloak.

Myrkr eats a kafe bean.

Lord Urazial Inseira, Song of the Wyrd says, "He's a good horse, yes. Needs a
name, though."

Urazial purses his lips pensively, gazing off into the distance as he carefully
gathers his thoughts.

Lord Urazial Inseira, Song of the Wyrd says, "There we are."

Tacita shuffles her feet uneasily.

This large stallion is a strong, powerful creature, and his well-defined muscles gleam beneath a white coat. His mane is slightly tangled from his wild runs, and his tail swishes incessantly as his brown eyes blink slowly. He lets out an occasional snort as he paws at the ground, throwing his head back with inherent nobility, and his body is graced with a braided tail. He is called
'Widdershins.'
A large, white stallion with a braided tail is a humble-looking creature.
He weighs about 1000 pounds.
His feedbag is brimming with food and he is looking well-fed.
He is loyal to Lord Urazial Inseira, Song of the Wyrd.
You cannot see what a large, white stallion with a braided tail is holding.

Urazial gives Tacita a concerned look.

You giggle happily at Urazial.

Myrkr tilts her head curiously at Tacita.

Lord Urazial Inseira, Song of the Wyrd says to Tacita, "What's wrong, little
one?"

Tacita, Student of the Dark Harmony says to Myrkr, "He called his horse
Widdershins."

Tacita blushes furiously.

Myrkr rolls her eyes in Urazial's direction and smacks her forehead with her
palm.

Lord Urazial Inseira, Song of the Wyrd frowns and says, "Yes I did! A fine name
for him, I think."

Tacita leans on Myrkr seeking consolation.

Autumnal Spinner Myrkr Inseira, Initiate of Night's Secrets leans her head on
Tacita's as she holds her, trying not to laugh.

You snicker softly to yourself.

Lord Urazial Inseira, Song of the Wyrd smiles with a wink and says, "Well he's
awfully white, which made me think of the moon. And that made me think of that
word I heard about the Moondancers dancing around naked. So... there we are.
Simple Urazial logic."

Autumnal Spinner Myrkr Inseira, Initiate of Night's Secrets asks, "... and I'm
the weird one?"

Widdershins means counterclockwise, I believe.

Wiccans/witches stir their cauldrons or w/e in that direction, believing it to be holy. I think.

Dunno, I read a bunch of useless stuff.

Yes, yes it does...close circle counterclockwise, open circle clockwise...it's the word that makes me giggle...

Pfft. Someone mentioned widdershins to Urazial once, and the only thing he got out of it was people dancing naked. Counterclockwise doesn't figure in with Urazial's general airheadedness.

Tacita was embarrassed because when they were trying to get Eliron to appear to make rings, she suggested that they turn widdershins and chant his name three times - and was mocked for being a mini-Moondancer

A translucent ghost opens the door to the down.
Drifting softly out to the down, a translucent ghost disappears from view.

Ghosts robbing shops?!
At least, that's what i thought when I saw it.

(Viridian Rangers): Shuyin says, "Also i'm gonna have to take out my awesome alias and trigger based mudsex system, and that'd be a hassle."
(Viridian Rangers): Ardmore (from the Aetherways) says, "Woah woah."
(Viridian Rangers): You say, "XD."
(Viridian Rangers): Ardmore (from the Aetherways) says, "I could use those."

(The Daughters of Attai): Kharaen (from the Aetherways) says, "And speed is
already sold out."


Attai, recently stocking Speed!

Teak was talking to Lendren about joining the Singers and got a reality check! Goodo Lendren!

Lendren Starfall says to Teak, "Frankly, yes. Because you are rude, uncommunicative, stubborn, difficult, impossible to talk to, and show no sign of being able to contribute to anything."

I found it funny but, dunno if anybody else did/will!

I want more details!! Angry Lendren! Rawr!

I really wasn't angry, just amused. The whole situation was increasingly hilarious. It was the kind of farce that, if you put it in a play, people would say it was unrealistic!

For two hours he wanted to talk but refused to say anything about what we were to talk about, and insisted on going to some private and possibly dangerous place to have the talk. For two hours I kept patiently (well, after a while, semi-patiently) trying to get him to say what this talk was about, and why it had to be done somewhere else, and not in tells. After two hours of this, and two hours of him refusing to even say what it was about, he declared me the most unaccomodating person he knew.

So for a while that was my title, Lendren Starfall, the Unaccomodating. Because I'm famous for it! No, wait, infamous! Muhahahah.

I did eventually tease him into revealing that he was interested in joining my guild. I told him that wasn't going to happen. He decided it must be because of my preconceptions about his past. (Those would be the preconceptions I never had a chance to form about the past I never managed to find out about since he never talked to me.) The quoted text above was me saying the actual reason.

Really, I was laughing the whole time. If he'd been rude in a normal way, it would have been annoying, but he was rude in such an ineffectual way, it became just funny.

Completely incidentally, I did find out a few interesting anecdotes about his past. But he was already not getting in based on either the guild's resounding "no", or my reaction to his behavior, either of which would have been more than enough. This mysterious checkered past is only icing.

Well actually you ARE a bit unaccomadating. Not to say he's in the right, but Lendren the Char is a crabby old man from where Kial's sittin.

Heeheehee.
