Frowning at a plush doll of Doctor Xaviar Snapfuse, Truda shakes her fist angrily at it.
A plush doll of Doctor Xaviar Snapfuse cackles maniacally, leering unpleasantly at Truda as he hefts a small stoppered phial with a sinister grin.

"A plush doll of Doctor Xaviar Snapfuse exclaims, "Psst, you there! I hear if you kill Xenthos An'Ryshe, he bleeds credits and Ascendance. You should give it a shot!"

A plush doll of Doctor Xaviar Snapfuse exclaims, "I do NOT hold a grudge!"
A plush doll of Doctor Xaviar Snapfuse glances askance."

This doll... is actually pretty interesting!

For you I bet so! For everyone else, or perhaps just me as first scourge, that's slightly annoying. Oh well, only a 5db loss to trade that junk back in.

If names are put into dolls it should be for a local org, not a common arti (e.g. like orders, some order dolls have personalized effects already)

did the Admin ask Xenthos if he wanted his name used for that?

I'm pretty sure it was because Xenthos killed Xaviar's lovechild or something during the event.

Arix:

did the Admin ask Xenthos if he wanted his name used for that?

No, but I killed his son during one of the first Gnafia events (his son crashed an aethership into Avechna's Peak full of slivvens and got executed). So it makes sense to me.

Wasn't it his nephew?

Anyway, I like the Xaviar doll. Don't have one of my own as I only collect the Hallifaxian ones, but I like him more than the Diamond Generator (which can go fall in a hole as far as I'm concerned. Dear doll-makers: NO MORE GENERATORS.)

Phoebus:

Dear doll-makers: NO MORE GENERATORS.)

But then you'd be perpetually stuck with two out of six generators, forever unable to complete the set properly.

Also, when you have all six of them, they'll combine to form the Primary Generator and take over the world.

Or at least your backpack.

DON'T CARE. We have much better "sets" of things to be completed. One generator was cute- I'm actually rather fond of Amethyst- two is just annoying and has me hoping, HOPING it's not going to be a set of them. What about the Master Artists? They're actually living beings with personalities.

I want Tide Lord dolls. >.>

rargh my name is not mentioned in any dingbat dolls or arties either, gonna trade that crap in instantly because my peen didn't get stroked nearly as much as xenthos' was.

Possible troll sighted. Being mentioned in both has no bearing on my previous comments about public dolls, sorry to disappoint.

What's this about order dolls? Am I missing out on cool stuff again because I always pick crap Gods?

Sylphas:

A bit harsh, but yes order dolls can exist.

I even toned it down by like half before I posted it. :(

It does have bearing on snarky comments about being the first scourge or incurring a 5 db loss on trading "junk" in, however ;)
