Whee, more guild information and giving my wiki a facelift. Yay.

I am now an Ensign in The Sentinels!

Woo!

Darn, the Sentinels look all kinds of awesome to me from an RP type perspective (and mechanically too). Shame I'd have to both commit to actually starting to play again, and then also spend eleventy-jillion credits on skills and switch over runes and... argh! Darn you Lusternia for looking attractive to me again!

Finally exploring Maylea godrealm expansions without pesky spirit watchers calling me out. Woo.

Spending near four hours outfitting and tempering for Templars.

And that's with getting some help forging too!

But its nice to have a healthy guild!

I feel for you. Mostly because I did the exact same thing yesterday. Orti is sooooo demanding.

Your name is Russel?

I'm still amazed by how often people go there to defend and die when there's usually nothing at all to raid in there, because most days it's cleared like clockwork every four hours. /tangent

Principle. The same thing happens with Vira's godrealm, even though by the time we organize most any homunculi will be dead anyways, and we'll likely have to slosh through some pre-made cross-shaped meld due to poor realm layout.

This has always bothered me.

Contrary to popular belief, we do not lay out our realms with the idea of 'how they can best be defended'. Many of us pick designs based on aesthetics.

(P.S., welcome to defending Celestia?)

The problem with laying them out to be best defended is that it works wonders if you get there first and set up, but is a bitch to clear if the attackers set up first. So there's really no point anyway, imo, go with aesthetics!

I never suggested that. I'm just expressing a similar sentiment about godrealm defence, and using the layout as a sticking point. It's like the cherry on top of the sundae here.

Many things are done in this game strictly on some sort of "principle", so there's little use getting too worked up over it.

I've tried to avoid making a fuss about it when there's nothing to defend beyond a bunch of saplings that are never going to grow up anyway, and a big mess someone will waste power cleaning up later; but someone else always throws the principle-of-the-thing in my face, so I just gave up. Being the only one saying not to bother just makes you look bad.

Anyway, if they don't find your goat there, they'll just keep looking other places, so why bother trying to avoid it? It's not like these kids are going to leave without a fight whatever that thing is they like to do that seems to be mostly about making other people waste time and get frustrated for their merriment.

(Incidentally, this isn't really a rave thing, is it?)

So, to divert back on track:

Pies.

I suppose I could connect the two by raving about the aesthetics of Maylea's godrealm! I loves me some godrealm.

Yeah, I had to stop and read some of the room descs and got jealous. Impressionist waterfalls.

And it's even shaped like a butterfly!

Nonsense, my realm has been laid out to be perfectly defendable.

Yeah, the enemy will be lost and eventually wonder into your defence team!

Close. Two L's, but no idea where that came from.

I have my first stalker.
