I thought Celest started dusting Elostian's shrines first.

Guys I don't know about any of you but I took part in the alliance shift for 100% ic reasons and I think bringing up bitter/smug/jealous/recrimination on an ooc basis is pretty stupid.

Oh yeah, I'd offer to pilot, but then I look at CWHO and decide I should save myself the trouble and influence instead.

I think Hallifax got peeved with the Trinity for several reasons:

1. Demands that they go along with the diplomatic whims of everyone else and happily raid Serenwilde despite the religious ties many Hallifaxians had with the place;

2. By the time villages come around the Trinity is a lot more about wasting time simply competing rather than communicating, eventually losing the village entirely; Serenwilde and Magnagora just hash it out at the start and go for it;

3. Balestone + Pollute hnnnngh;

4. Trinity needed or wanted assistance in areas Hallifax couldn't provide (Domoths, demigods, combatants, what have you) due to their relative state as a fledgeling organization;

5. Overall lack of communication between organizations if you weren't a part of the Demigod+ Combatant Group;

6. Dat smug

I also don't think an organization's efficiency with regards to their Demigod Factory has anything to do with whether or not an organization is losing in the long run. You can be useful even without Demigod.


I had an lolwut? post written for this refuting each of these points, but I don't feel like discussing it in detail anymore. I'll just leave it with Serenwilde and Halli are quite comfortable on their knees and bent over for Mag, where the things you are offering to them now were hardly ever offered to us. So sit there and try to make up any reason you want, you didn't put out then, but you put out now.

Guys I don't know about any of you but the alliance shift happened without any IC discussion or explanation or anything so asking people not to discuss it on an OOC level is pretty stupid.

Goodness gracious, Sidd. This whole convo is making me frisky.

There was pleanty of IC discussion outside the Trinity.

EDIT: Which was the point, actually-- I know Hallifax was quite concerned about word leaking out and retaliatory... Retaliations, happening because of it.

Personally I think this is far more interesting than watching the same group repeatedly post on the 'post something about the guy above' thread!

It's almost all buried in the comments, so you have to expand it. And scroll down a bit.

It's also not exactly in order for some reason.

The Inagin-bashing is still there though. Merciless moderating it is clearly not!


Heeeey, I only just decided to do that since you requested. losewings.gif

Celest-Hallifax hostilities started mainly because "Hey they aren't allies anymore, MINIONS ATTAAAAAACK!"

Outsider perspective, though.

I personally am now thinking we should get rid of the tweets topic.

Nobody uses this like Twitter. With a forum we should really encourage people to start new threads. It's hard to find information about the past when it's all crammed into a single thread. Forums aren't designed to have thousands of entries in single threads. It makes it harder to ignore certain conversations, find specific subjects, or look through past entries.

Let's go back to making threads for specific subjects.

Hey guys let's make a new thread every time Tweets explodes.

I am curious about this though?

Lots of Hallifaxian have religous ties to Serenwilde?

I just don't see the need for a twitter thread. This isn't about the subject at hand--I'm looking at the forums in general and it seems all the conversation now goes in here instead of new threads. The whole point of a message board is not to cram things into a single thread. It's something I've been wondering about.

Other threads have sort of a use, but it seems contrary to a message board to encourage posting in a single thread.

Man, that thread was potentially fun at first, but now you can't post without the same damn person immediately posting after you! sad.gif Just...JUST BACK OFF! Let other people play! (I'm looking at you, Llesvelt!)

The search feature works pretty well, I can usually find what I am looking for relatively quickly.

Further, you wouldn't find 'information about the past' like you're thinking. When you don't have threads where people can actually have a conversation, you don't have conversations actually happening. You just get my epic every-couple-of-months posts, and a few others here and there. In the end though, you have very boring stagnation and forums that still don't get read by the Administration very often because there's nothing to read. tongue.gif
