I know I'd love to hear about what inspired your character's design, why the sari and bindi and other India influences, for instance.


Oh that's a great story! content.gif

It involves Kalikai and tequila.

Eventru likes to say everything involves Kalikai and tequila.

Is Lendren the only person with a question or anything?

New Ask Estarra is up


So, considering the people here have good imaginations, Polearms are a posibility?

Heh, but don't take that map too seriously!

I have a sneaking suspicion that they are growing some sort of drugs in the Grove of Happiness. Confirm/deny?

You so silly, Estarra.

Oh no, I realize that's subject to change! I'm just so excited to hear you actually have plans for it! biggrin.gif I've been wanting Ackleberry ever since I first started playing Ongaku. happy.gif

It's also really interesting to hear that they're not going to be allied with Serenwilde. I had this idea in my head that they'd be Seren-allied as a "pure" forest, but hearing that they bear such a grudge, I'm really excited to see what'll happen!

One wonders if their nemesis would likely be released at the same time as them, the same way the last two were. Which would mean it'd be even farther off since we'd need enough people to sustain two more nations, not just one.

Every new nation has struggled with its identity since it always becomes a mix of what it's supposed to be, and what each of a dozen people wish their previous organization was like. Ackleberry is probably going to suffer even more for this, because people have even more solid ideas of what it should be, which are even farther away from what Estarra's imagining, it sounds like.

All these years I figured someday we'd find out how Lolliprin got named after Lolly Pringle... I guess it's a "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" moment! I still think that even if it wasn't intended to be named for Lolly, it should turn out that way.

Hey, voting for Lusternia is a good way to get more people to join. ninja.gif

I liked the tae'dae and furrikin going into what seems to be epileptic seizures.

Polearm spec go, room prone.

My ideas of what Ackleberry is supposed to be are already radically different from what I thought prior to watching the latest Ask Estarra. I always pictured a beautiful, sweet, harmonious commune. Hearing that it will probably be much different from that gives me tingles. happy.gif Especially considering that, even if I do move Ongaku out of Magnagora someday, to wherever, I don't think he'll lose his more Magnagoran/Morgfyre-esque ideals, which would be bad for a happy, fluffy commune. >.>

Lots of people see Ackleberry as the fluffy commune. It has absolutely no reason to be, after what it went through. I would definitely think long and hard about hopping over if it opened, but damned if I wouldn't do everything in my power to beat the fluffy drama out of people.

QFT. I really want to take Ongaku there someday (depending on how various circumstances play out), and if I do, I have every intent for him to be one of the Ackleberry hardasses who doesn't let people sit around being snuggly and fluffy. He really feels that being "cute" is detrimental to his race.

Don't lot of people do the same with Serenwilde?

That is, play it fluffier than the lore represents it.

Too bad, too sad. Let's hope its not too detrimental to the RP of more hardline org members.

Yeah. And Serenwilde has been that way for five years, it's a lost cause. Ackleberry isn't, yet.

I think Ackleberry will be even worse, given that it is not in the game but people already have thought of it like that for five years.
