An envoy who only seems interested in nerfing our abilities...

Maybe this time I can whack it before it eats m.... *die*.

The purpose of nerfing Twisters is one of pretty good import, if you're talking about the one Ciaran has up: the ability to raise staff in to a free, almost effortless concussion is INCREDIBLY powerful. The Aeromancer class can't have any breathing room for upgrades without getting that out of the way in some fashion. This is killing two birds with one stone, because it also gets us something relatively useful to a stable demesne.

The usefulness of raise staff and twisters is arguable. However, I'm not too concerned about the proposed changes there - I was upset by the proposed nerfing of psychicvampirism. We can't balance some abilities around group combat but no others, especially when the ability in question has yet to prove particularly overpowered.

People often forget, to include the envoys themselves sometimes, that they're there to make sure the skills are fair and balanced, not to make sure their respective skillsets wtfpwn everyone else.

qft

Everyone should read that report btw. Did you know you could cure concussion with myrtle and damaged head doesn't actually do anything? I didn't.

yeah, this is awesome, I'm never curing concussion with regen again. Actually myrtle really probably shouldn't cure it, makes it pretty weak.

Mandala done! Much love to Rika, Doman, Ayden, Daedalion and Elostian (sorry it was like 4-5am when that happened )

Playing an alt and being an enthusiastic newbie is pretty damn relaxing.

Managed to code in a siphoning script without any help.

I love that we have a new player design approval system to help out the Charites, really I do. Just please write clear sentences and know what you are talking about when you make changes, please and thank you.

The difference between cities and communes:

The entire "we serve the collective" rp is going down the drain real fast.

Starting to regret moving to Hallifax, so much drama already. How is Gaudiguch this time of year?


Also, Celest makes me feel like this: Click me.

Just because the bad apples make more noise, doesn't mean that they're the ones steering the ship. Hallifax has great potential, it's just a matter of time.

No, but they complain about the captain to me. I think Hallifax is more of a ticking time bomb at this point because of a few issues, but that is a prediction for another time.

That's the inevitable new-org blues. Everybody came to the city with their own vision of how it should be, as well as an idea of what their position within it would be. There's going to be disappointment no matter what direction it takes or who is put in charge - some will leave, some will try to start trouble. Some of us will just twiddle our thumbs and wait for everything to calm down. That's when the real work begins.

Not what I'm talking about for the time bomb. Wait and see.

I am very much aware of the 'time bomb' in question. One cat fight does not make for a Celest-type situation, and even if it did, Celest wasn't half as bad off as some on the forums made it out to be. A lot of people were hurt, and a lot of damage was done, but Celest's fundamental ability to exist and function wasn't threatened. One look at 'topguilds' is enough to show that they're still puttering along in their own way. Heck, they've got two villages. That's more than a lot of orgs have had at certain points in their histories.
