I noticed this a while ago but promptly forgot. Someone snuck in the inducting denizens for the Hallifax guilds! This is a rave because I do so like the one for the Aeromancers. Her University quest involves rounding up paperwork! tongue.gif Now that's a task I can get behind!

I've never actually gotten this. A place of Law should have effective, streamlined laws. Suffocating in paperwork means backlogs, which means ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and that just doesn't make -sense-.

It makes sense to me... that's basically how governments "work".

wub.gif That's one of my favourite quotes! Though it's not quite certain that Oscar Wilde is its original source. wink.gif

Wikiquote is -never- wrong

As for favourite quotes, I know quite a few I consider better, douglas adams statement about the speed of light comes to mind for example.

Anyway

is it bad that the first thing to come to mind when I read this here was 'oh civilization IV'

Oh, right right right! A rave for still coming in the top four of the hamster hunt, even when people were killing me! biggrin.gif

Winning the freezetag game. Also getting into the top ten for the hamster hunt, if only it'd been for the first one. I thought I had lost the game at first. He nearly got me, but the fairy saved my just in time.

Talking with a few civilized Glomdoringers. It seems they aren't all vainglorious bastards biggrin.gif

Almost makes me wish the forests could be allies, they have tons more in common than the cities dry.gif

Glomdoring is the only org I haven't explored >_<
well, I got lost in Hallifax... but I was there!

Also, the shops probably have some unique stuff! sad.gif

edit: Add Ackleberry and Jojobo!

Hmmm...has the Xion Initiative been updated since Gaudiguch and Hallifax came out?

I'm going to go out on a limb (badum-tish!) and say it's Hoarcle's war shrine desc.

Last time I was there (two weeks ago), no.
Razenth2010-09-12 19:08:35
Xion Initiative, not the Xion quest. You know, the one where we kill an Avatar apiece?
Furien2010-09-12 19:09:17

In that case - doubt.

Try it out? tongue.gif

They changed both the hai'Gloh Zemordia and the Xion Initiative after the events. I don't remember the exact changes, but I think they also changed the Xion quest and the Faethorn quests.
