Asked some people at the nexus to calm down the gnawing/pouncing/glomping/biting. Got pounced and then smirked at, so I forced him to follow me and locked him in my office and browbeat him until he understood that council members aren't his toys. Hanging out at the nexus with the sole intent of beating sense into people is more amusing than I would have thought.

I think you guys should amend the leaves to read "Forest Wardens, Guild Leaders, and the Moonhart Circle hold the authority to slay, or otherwise inflict corporeal punishment on citizens for misconduct."

I'm pretty sure most leaders in Seren would agree to it, too.

I have to say, my Seren is happy, but he avoids profuse cuddling in public. I sometimes feel like I made him too happy as well. sad.gif I don't want to get called a snuggly just because he's always excited about things.

My seren is an uptight traditionalist who believes in the more feral side of nature.

I need to play him more often. suspicious.gif

Mine didn't know what the sky was until he exited the Portal of Fate, let alone a forest. He's very excited about not being stuck underground anymore. laugh.gif

Randomly teleporting to Haiden on Ethereal Seren and him thinking I was jumping him. biggrin.gif

I kinda wanted to duel him then and there.

I find it amusing that people complain now, when the city is struggling RP wise. I think I know who it is too.

My rave? I'm going to have so much fun screwing people over now.

Yes, like Sylphas, I hung out by the Moonhart Mother Tree yesterday with the primary intent to monitor the kiddos. I got to take care of the silly/inappropriate title someone had complained about in another thread, causing the person to quit the commune in a highly emotional state. Honestly, I wasn't mean in any way, just trying to explain why the title was inappropriate and asking to have it changed. Some people just over-react...

I got into a rave? <3

Rave for actually logging in again, and for all these free lessons popping up.

In order of increasing specificity:

Magnagora - In some ways, the spirit of old Glom with better execution. OG will always be my first and greatest love, but Mag has been a blast. People have been helpful, fun, friendly, and good and active RPers. It is not a hive of oppressive players being mean to everyone else. It just isn't, and I would encourage people who only know Mag by way of forum portrayal to keep a healthy differentiation between someone's bad experience in an org and the identity and nature of the org itself.

Cacophony - Other than the cognitive dissonance that comes from serving under characters who Xin is either a patriarch over or friends with their parents (or grandparents), the guild has been extremely helpful and fun. The leadership is accessible and does a great job of getting across the Mag elitism and sense of hierarchy without in the least being mean or oppressive. I can tell a lot of thought has gone into what the guild should "look like." I didn't think I would care for it, as Achaea has sort of left me all barded out, but it's been fun.

Mags Who Turn Elitism Into Win - As an example, I was at the Megalith when Tynghall shows up and starts commenting on a newb's appearance. Said newb had specifically put into their description that they weren't attractive, and Tynghall picked right up on this, suggesting that she wear a mask, etc. But then, he resolved that into (imperiously, of course) encouraging her to work hard in the city to overcome her "obstacles" and rise in rank. I don't know if he specifically intended to do it or not, but it was a masterful way of taking the Mag elitist RP and turning it into a tool to get people involved and actually encourage them to participate more rather than making them feel marginalized and excluded. This is not the only time I've seen this happen, but it's a good example.

Chalcedony's Friends and Family - Breaking the Seren snuggler stereotype since 2010. Quality RPers, even when giving the Tainted guy the cold shoulder.

Chalcedony - Very different character from mine, but has been very fun to talk to. We'll always unite around the common bond of commodity scarcity, and not a lot of people can say that.

Was wondering what caused that. Thanks!

Helping a friend with an order task that turned in to a hilarious brawl in Hallifax.
