Well losing Divinefire means we would have killed Celina 20 seconds sooner than we did.

Hah, revolts. Oh well, Gaudi actually tried a bit for this one as I understand it, so yay. Personally, I'm proud that Gaudi typically stands on its own feet. Its a harder stance to take, but its worthwhile. (I understand there were serens/mags at this revolt, but by and large, several of us make it a point not to ask for help- not that we're raided much, thankfully. )

Alliances happen. Nothing new. We can complain about it up and down, and it will never ever change. Or we can try and make IC efforts to minimize the impact of a wildly unfavorable political situation, which is both more practical and more productive. I don't particularly care about the revolt here- its nothing that won't change given time. Its not even really an IC hit- Glom stealing Estelbar from Seren when it had been linked to Seren for years, that was something of an IC hit. Number of times Gaudi has held Dairuchi? Zero. Net change in terms of power/resources/whatever to Gaudiguch for Hallifax taking it? Zero. Dairuchi chose its own path when Gaudiguch opened.

So, can't really begrudge someone for calling down a mega-org for a situation like a revolt (though, I would hope Glom at least tried to take it itself- for the same principles that I'm proud of gaudi standing largely on its own efforts the vast bulk of the time).

But Casi, this just isn't true- I'm on my aero enough to have defended halli territories several times, as well as defending celestia. And you know what made me sad? (especially during the former)-

Gaudi raids air. Before it even goes on CT "we're being attacked", someone's saying on the alliance clan "we need help we have no defenders"... you know, without even asking or seeing who is attacking. Few days later, Gaudi attacks again, and there really are few defenders this time. So I go up and defend and get killed a few times, but made a better showing than I thought I would. Didn't call out for Megadoring, and it wasn't end of the world.

And when I was defending Celestia from Fillin and Co on the same character, there were Hallis on the alliance clan again, saying, quite literally, "we cannot do this without glomdoring!"

So, while alliances are largely inevitable, I don't begrudge taking advantage of an inevitable situation. But lets not pretend the response is coincidental.

Looks like its time for a twelve page forum thread, Greg.



Thank you.



They used the weapons at their disposal. If gaudi had an ascendant of any sort, would they have held back? Initially? Would they have held back when it was used against them? Is it a bug? Almost certainly. Is it listed anywhere what exactly Ascendants kept and what they lost? ...I'm not sure! Either way, ultimate lesson for the day?

Gaudiguch needs workers and fighters. Come help Gaudiguch be something cool.

I'm not calling anything a Problem, just saying something that I've found annoying. This is not an opinion that I've researched or tried to justify. So yeah.

I'm not at all demi, and do little to maximize my ego and charisma, and I still win debates against demigods from time to time. Sure, it makes things easier to be high leveled, but one on one, it is entirely possible to win, even against demigod faelings.

Using an ability that is supposedly deleted is most definitely a no-no.

Question: Which skill is Gregori referencing?

If it's Fearaura, Sojiro still has it because he's a Death True Ascendant.

If Destruction, Ceren still has it because he's War.

If Affinity, Xiel still has it because he's Nature.

And... I don't think anybody knows what Soll has, since the old Life skill was a Cult skill, heh.

If something else, well... who knows. Once of the biggest would be aegis which I think nobody should have access to at this point.

With the details provided (using a skill in a deleted skillset) this is all I can think of that he is referring to, though. Unless someone naughty is exploiting a bug.

No, actually, they shouldn't have access to them. It'll be fixed soon though.

Really?

Huh. Okay then! Not getting hit by Ceren's destruction for a bit will be nice.

People send you text messages? It's a game, guys. Get a sense of perspective!

Hey, I've sent you twelve already, and it's only 11 AM.

I am beginning to feel like you are ignoring me.

No kidding.

Seems to me that sending unwanted text messages regarding game stuff might actually be breaking the Harassment rules in a major way and be Issuable.


eta: If not, it should be.

Just one of the very many reasons to avoid methods of communication that aren't directly linked to the game.

I'm obsessive enough without stuff following me around.

Honestly, the only way to prevent that from happening is to not give your cell phone number out, or you WILL get woken up for a 3am revolt, or when the hits the fan in your guild. Perspective or not, someone isn't thinking "It's just a game, we shouldn't wake up/bother (person)"; they're thinking "Craaaaaaaaaaaap where's (person)?! SOMEONE GET AHOLD OF THEM NOW!"

I almost wish I were a combatant so that someone would think to call me during a raid so they could call me and then get frustrated when all they got was my machine cause the phone ringing is not enough to wake me up when I'm asleep. Then, the next day, I could giggle at their vmail rage. And totally not even feel bad about giggling cause WTF were you calling me in the middle of the night over something so dumb anyway?

I do not think the administration can intervene because they

1. Would have a hard time gathering proof
2. Not be able to link a telephone number to a player.

Best preventive is not to give your number, and if they already have it just not respond or block the number.

If people didn't do this, how would Shuyin be able to wake up for raids and revolts?

That's... really sad... The only time I ever text people about the game is when something happened I know they would want to know about, when they're unable to get online for an extended period of time. Otherwise I just figure if they're not online, they're doing RL stuff, and RL > text game.

Anyway tweet only some people will get: who's next? Greean?

Xenthos has access to my personal cell that is only meant to be used for Lusternia, it's also attached to a collar around my neck that gives me a mild electric shock to notify me that I am needed.
