I prefer not to greet at all and just walk into the room shrouded, stating my business and digging into my target without any warning.

That'll wake some people up, assuming they're not afk.

I'm watching BBC. I just now realized that British people sound silly when they try to use slang.

Am I late for the discussion about greetings?

Inclining is obviously the superior emote *arrogance*

You know, this problem is very easy to solve. I hereby make a Divine Decree that from now on, all proper citizens of Hallifax shall be forced to wear top hats if male and bonnets if female. The only acceptable greeting will be either taking off your hat or bowing when male or inclining or curtseying when female.

There, I've said it. You can all go on with your lives now.

But top hats are so... So.. Magnagoran!

You've never looked at the paintings in the institute, have you?

We'll probably be safe as long as it's not Gaudiguchi heart-transplant hats.

an unrelated tweet: I wish I could be around for Ascension...but alas I have work.

I'm hoping there'll be no lag...

There will always be lag. :/

What time's it start? And also, do you just have to have logged in sometime during it to get the 'I survived the world nearly ending' honors line or do you have to be there for the beginning, the whole thing, or just the ending? I forget.

Top hats are suitably Gaudiguchian! Haven't you seen the Dapper Dashro?

I think they give that line to anyone who has logged in to the game anytime in the past month or something like that.

Sior's done a lot of profiling on the server, and cut down MASSIVE portions of what causes lag, code-wise. Of course, 150+ people competing on Astral will cause lag problems all of its own, but c'est la vie!

Great!

Alright. Then Someone best be making monocles for artisans sir. To the lens grinder with you!

When it comes to adding hats and requiring them for greeting people, this is what I say in response.

(In my case, not a criticism of religion but just the weird way hats and respectful greetings are used from culture to culture)

Gaudiguch could handle tophats, but they're still Magnagora's thing. They have the steampunk.

Hats

I used to love TF2. I play that game now and I'm like, "What's going on, and who introduced about 50 new colors to the games palette?"
