I haven't laughed this much for a long time!

Okay, rare bits are getting a bit too common. Bloody beetle heads.

Kind of wish we could rub the "rares" into "commons" of the same set.

Also, I finally get rid of all my curio bits and done with trading, so somebody sends me a "rare" just to annoy me, Grrrr!

A bit? It's like trying to put together sets with 9 rares and 1 common now. Things are just entirely out of whack right now with relative rarity. People are getting desperate for certain commons.

People need to stop rubbing away all their commons.

What they should do is to only allow the rubbing of partials, the more "complete" partial you rub, the better chances for a coin.

That way, singles aren't gotten rid of immediately but it still keeps the neat mechanic.

Daraius lies. Anyone who knows me should know I would never request that particular comic.

I sorta want a beetle, but I can't find anyone who has one, so I can check first if it's too Glomdoringy. Gah.

A little irony never hurt anyone.

Man these last three beetle bits are so hard to find.

I just hate Dinosaur Comics and would prefer my name and/or likeness nowhere near it.

I don't get the sense that this Czigany Coast civilization really had any interest in art like the lore implies. Seems more like they were just in the business of mass-producing expensive, fragile toys.

Toys = art.

Haaay, I forgot about that. Are there any other holiday-related commands? Like "merrysolstice" or whatever?

Thanks. Too much of shadow though. I shall save my money for a pet. Eventually.

Just submitted my custom beast.

Name: Anakim

Short: Anakim, the crystal automaton

Long: Anakim, the crystal automaton hovers here, suffused in harmonic energies.

Extended: Combining science with the arcane arts, this relic of war heralds the technology of a forgotten age. Huge, finely etched tiers of crystal ramparts comprise the segments of this automaton, reinforced with gold-plated diamond and turquoise. Fretworks of the same material entwine the geometric contours that define his blocky figure. Taking on the shape of a star-formed, Anakim's many-jointed limbs have been engineered for dynamic movement, affording optimal mobility. His towering frame ascends peerlessly towards the firmament, beryl eyes and carved glass features devoid of any emotion. Cannon-barreled chambers inlaid with jade and onyx extend from his massive palms, palpable dregs of energy seething from their gilt grasp. There appears to be no external interface or controls, moving of his own volition, and with shockingly swift reflexes for one his size. Filigreed wings of aureate plumage crest his hulking frame, a steady stream of harmonic force coursing through the latticed airfoil. Emblazoned across his chest cavity, a fractal mandala resonates with the rhythmic pulses of diamond, ruby, and sapphire - thrumming like a quiet heartbeat.

O.o

^There's your custom attack message.

P.S. Really though, it looks(sounds?) amazing.

Thanks! If I ever gave him a custom attack, it would probably be a lightning ray/beam.
The whole premise is he's a mobile golem controlled through Harmonics.

I want to hurry up and get my custom beast now.
