(Celest): Lawliet says, "Really? No star council members that can count?"

(Celest): Inagin says, "Uh... what?"

(Celest): Lawliet says, "Offering 20K to the one that helps."

(Celest): Tresol (from the Water Elemental Plane) says, "You shouldn't have to
offer gold."

(Celest): Lawliet says, "I know, but they're all REALLY lazy."

(Celest): You say, "Fun fact: insulting Star Council members will get you what
you want."

(Celest): Aural Tildarmin says, "Or they think themselves above helping one so
disgusting and treacherous as you, illithoid-lover."

(Celest): Aural Tildarmin says, "Don't you have an appointment to have your soul
sucked out, or a puddle of taint to go roll in? Hmph!"

(Celest): Lawliet says, "I did not ask your opinion, Aural."

(Celest): You say, "I'm assuming that was directed at Lawliet."

(Celest): Meleris, Keeper of the Pool of Stars says, "No, but it does not mean
he is wrong, outcast."

(Celest): Gathelta Highwater says, "Indeed. Don't you have something useful to
be doing somewhere? Like collecting trash?"

(Celest): Lawliet says, "It's quite possible that I've done the work to no
longer be an outcast, if they'll just help me."

(Celest): Dakir says, "So much hostility!"

(Celest): Pharamon says, "Enough of all this."

(Celest): A kinsman of New Celest says, "Hmph. Just so long as the taint-lover
stays away from my son!"

(Celest): Pharamon says, "I'm quite tired of the insults."

(Celest): Lawliet says, "Kinsman, I shall make sure to set him on fire."

(Celest): Naedaros Inalai says, "Do so, and I shall be sure to clog your gills
with mud, blood-traitor."

(Celest): Lawliet says, "You'll find that difficult with my hand down your
throat tugging on your spleen."

(Celest): Tresol (from the Water Elemental Plane) says, "Listen to Sir Pharamon,
citizens."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "ENOUGH!"

(Celest): Pharamon says, "I am sick of this petty bickering."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "Keep your opinion's on Lawliet to yourself."

(Celest): Naedaros Inalai says, "Simply attempt it, traitor, and I shall show
you the true glory of the Light."

(Celest): Lady Jarana Farain says, "Hmph, while I rend her soul from her body -
or what is left of it!"

(Celest): Pharamon says, "You know what I can't believe?"

(Celest): Lawliet says, "Thrill me."

(Celest): Tresol (from the Water Elemental Plane) says, "Since when have we
become as disorganized as those animals in Serenwilde? Please, stay civilized."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "I can't believe, this foolish, loud-mouthed, mindless
blithering, that this whole conversation has turned to."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "I am highly disappointed, as I hold quite the lot of
you, in high regard."

(Celest): Thiodone Ladyn, the Illuminator's Magistrate says, "I am shocked that
you all stand up to one of the Damned insulting your council, and then your
fellow citizenry."

(Celest): Thiodone Ladyn, the Illuminator's Magistrate says, "And then not only
up to, but beside her."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "I respect neither side, for the way this is turning
out."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "The trial was held. The judgement passed down."

(Celest): Lawliet says, "Thiodone, if I have to try and bribe them into counting
then they deserve a little jibe."

(Celest): Thiodone Ladyn, the Illuminator's Magistrate says, "And she was marked
as the Damned."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "I'm not sticking up for either side, for I find this
whole conversation to be ridiculous."

(Celest): Fania (from the Aetherways) says, "Hi."

(Celest): Pharamon says, "Hail, Fania."

(Celest): Thiodone Ladyn, the Illuminator's Magistrate says, "Lawliet, for your
insults against the Council and your threats against Citizenry, I will not
consider the bards you have turned in heretofore, even if you can attempt to
convince someone to count them."

(Celest): Tresol (from the Water Elemental Plane) says, "Hail, Lady Fania."

(Celest): Thiodone Ladyn, the Illuminator's Magistrate says, "Jarana, Naedaros,
I shall hear nothing more from either of you right now. Let her bury her own
grave. I shall be sure the Star Council is aware of her insults against the
citizenry."

SPAM.

I kid, it was funny, though, hee.

Ahahahaha that's friggin' awesome.

Lol. You know that was Eventru doing that too.

Okay..so?

He was doing his job, point?

It was political interference and it perma-broke lusternia!!!1!!!!11!

Whether or not E was controlling the mobs makes no difference. The city npc's automatically shun, rebuke and mock any 'damned' player and it's not surprising that they spoke out over the city aether when Lawliet got snarky. A very neat feature; was my first time seeing it play out.

Uh, why would you ever mock the time put in when an Admin possess a mob? My very best RP has happened when an Admin possesses a mob and interacts with me. You should thank the Admin, not judge or make fun of them.

The RP in this game makes me want to quit the game sometimes.

I can empathize with Lawliet having been in her situation (she married a Mag and got in trouble). My wife, Beldoria, moved to Magnagora and I was going to either divorce her or quit the city to stay within the scope of the laws. I chose the latter when my election results came back negative and then subsequently got enemied by Ilyarin.

Now, I don't hate Ilyarin, but it definitely feels like he's been riding me hard when I've done nothing but try to be nice to him in the game. I don't really hate the admins either, but sometimes when you put so much time/effort/money into the game and one player can just ruin it for you...then yea, you can get testy. So I don't blame Lawliet for lashing back.

On the plus side, Magnagora fits my play style much more nicely considering my short temper.

Ha!


What's wrong with the RP there? Mags and Celestians are supposed to absolutely hate each other, the Taint is supposed to exstinguish the Light, the Light is supposed to snuff out the Taint.

She married a Mag while she was Celestian, and kinda got what she deserved.

I had to post an apology to get an extra 177 points of "Respect"

Also, I can't help but get annoyed and laugh a little when certain high ranking city/commune members think they're awesome and try to stop the denizens from insulting someone, or ranting about something.

That's a valid point Kante, but I often feel that there can be too much control given to one player over another player's fate/enjoyment of the game.

Understandable.

I might have done the same thing. Serenwilde's CHELP DECORUM is all about using the CT and other public aethers with respect. Then again, you can't disfavour a denizen when they refuse to shut up either .

I like to see it all play out. It's generally entertaining when mob possessions go down.

If a Mob gets pissy, there are two ways of punishing it. Slap it down, or Slap. It. DOWN. What else are you supposed to do?

Within Celest, there is no executioner, as a crime befitting execution in the Light's eyes should instead at the least result in casting them from the city and probably enemying them.

Instead, when Celest asked for an executioner, we devised (what I think is) a very ingenious punishment. If you've committed a great sin against the city or the Light, the city can have you 'judged' by the envoy of Japhiel, Illuminator the Merciful Justice. At the end of it (the whole affair called the Rite of Petala), if the citizen is deemed worthy of punishment, they can be turned into a social pariah. Every mob in the city spits at you or insults you, the cats attack you if you try to pick them up, and all around the denizens of the city hate you. To become acceptable by the city at large, you need to regain their respect - by performing tasks that would be looked well upon by the citizenry (both player and npc!) - such as picking up trash in the streets, helping the kelpies, bringing in scholars/bards, influencing angels, etcetera etcetera.

I thought it was a pretty ingenious punishment myself, and was certainly designed to encourage roleplay (I think an outright execution is pretty boring - especially when we can do something more fun like this!), and to also provide a somewhat more long-term and effective (though pretty much just roleplay) punishment, while staying within the confines of what one could expect from a Light-aligned environment. Now, not everyone spits and insults - others are more caring (Oh, you poor, pitiful, wretched soul! How I pity you for being such a depraved and socially repugnant creature...), but all around, ICly, it's not a nice thing to be, most definitely - and there's different levels of social outcasts, too!

Myself, I think there should be more ways of getting undamned, what's wrong with commodities? Or essence?

Also, I was given a time limit, so it's less RP and more grind.

Edit: Why the couldn't they just give me the standard kicking out punishment? Bleh

That's fine and all, but where are the checks and balances? Is it possible for this denizen to decide "this person isn't damned, they just screwed up royally." Better yet, when does the denizen cuff the city leader for taking up their valuable time with meaningless damnations?
