Subj: Ackleberry reward

Greetings Basin,

I speak to you now for a group of small, but idealistic old folks. This
is a challenge to all of you. We are offering a one million gold reward
to any person who succeeds in restoring to our plane long lost
Ackleberry.

I pray that one of you succeeds.
Signed The Moralis, Spokesman of the Winter Court

Penned by my hand on the 17th of Juliary, in the year 218 CE.


Eh???

Desperate cry for attention, or foreshadowing?

Moralis is bat censor.gif insane. That's the whole story.

That's a good summary.

Why is everyone so quick to rule out player-rp influencing main storylines? I know lusternia isn't an RPI-mud but yeesh, the thought behind his post was nice. Someone should play along, who knows where it might go?

QFT

Even if it fails, the attempt should be fun! I'd join in myself, if my current main character had any interest at all in it.

Because that's how we got Glomdoring, and look how that turned out.

I kid, I kid...



...mostly.

Also ... only a million gold for defying all sorts of esoteric planar physics?
Desitrus2008-10-14 19:37:04
Sure, someone post for Gaudiguch and Hallifax too.

The reason, Balizar as you well know, is because CERTAIN THINGS simply aren't player driven. But yeah seriously, Moralis is going to spark the release of a new commune with new archetypes. Come on.
Munsia2008-10-14 19:38:30
I'm going to have a word with him... I have a thing against Gloms attempting to raise it unless they have decent attentions.

I don't know why but every org has this idea that everyone should be like them... I'm of the opinion that everyone should be of their own.

IE: Ackleberry not being tainted, wyrded, or 'ethereal forest' (or whatever they call it)' or of the Light..

Do something useful like convert Gorgulu to peace, love, and happiness. It has as much chance as this does of happening and even if it fails, the attempt should be fun!

Edit: You know what. I was wrong. There, I admit it. You actually have a better chance at converting Gorgulu than you do of Moralis opening Ackleberry with archetypes.

Moralis needed a hobby. I think that's the crux of it. Maybe he'll form a hippy love-in in Tolborolla. I don't expect to hear anything of the 'Winter Court' again. Why Winter anyway? Because Summer has already been done? I thought Ackleberry was supposed to be the beginning part of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, Winter has nothing to do with it.
Noola2008-10-14 19:43:13
Should be a Spring Court! Or a Fall Court! laugh.gif
Diamondais2008-10-14 19:45:05
My problem and disbelief in it stems from the post he made to Glom expecting them to pitch in and offer another million (or match whatever is raised for the reward) to raise it. tongue.gif
Astraea2008-10-14 19:47:15
Because Glom is so interested with things not Glom.

With all those big cuddly shaggy bearstae'dae, Ackleberry would be a really nice Winter Wonderland. Maybe the fae there will be Santa's elves, and the wiccans will burn logs at winter solstice. Maybe the druids will decorate their totems instead of carving them, with nice glass ornaments and candles, and they'll ride reindeer with red noses that can light up to dispel shadows and choke. Maybe the bards will have the special ability to start their most annoying songs earlier and earlier into every year until you tear your own head off to avoid them, which would be their instakill. Maybe their monks would use spiral-striped canes as weapons, and their warriors would be made of brightly-painted wood. Maybe... not.

Willing to join the Honeyguard.
Desitrus2008-10-14 20:48:08
Yes, Honeyguard. Someone will have to be Rabbit though and pull Shuyin and I out of the burrow when we get stuck looking for honey.
