I'm AFK for long periods of time, but that's more because I forget I'm logged in. -_-

I've made the same mistake too--I was actually talking about deliberately trying to "multi-task" both tasks.

Phred:

I'd be more worried about people who try to play WoW and Lusternia at the same time, which I've heard some people do.

I know someone who does this, yep.
I'm often either writing something or watching a movie. If it's the first, I'm mostly afk, if it's the second, I'm mostly not watching the movie.

Dear Great Hunt,

Y U MAKE ME STAY UP FOR 22HOURS BASHING. I mistook Ptoma for some oddly shaped Hive. ._. Fail. :explode:

If Aeral could hunt kephera, I'd be bashing up Ptoma. >_> They're all kephies to me.

I slipped on my strict "Don't talk to anyone when you log in feeling antisocial. Seriously. I mean it." policy. It's hard to keep up my carefully cultivated cheerful demeanor (ok, maybe not so carefully) when all I can do is complain about things and snap at people. Sorry.

(Handy tips: a good way to tell if I shouldn't be talked to is if I don't do my usual "Greetings, Hallifax" when logging in. If suddenly there's a Phoebus there where there wasn't before, it's probably best to pretend I'm invisible and will be gone very soon. Brought this one on myself though. Bleh.)

I'm either late to picking up on this or it's new:

Herbert Clarramore says, "The dagblasted girl's done gone run off to be with that human so Hyacinth's in one of 'er moods, if you know how I mean it. Fair like there'll be no peace here for a while."

Herbert Clarramore exclaims, "Still, reckon as love's love, and maybe there's something good in that. But don't tell Hyacinth I done said so!"

Herbert Clarramore winks knowingly.

The Clarramores seem to have picked up a deep Southern accent. Does this mean Trill are all Southern now? XD I know there's the whole slavery thing in Hallifax, but I can't picture it being Southern. So alien.

I think Herbert used to have a British accent, since I remember him saying Old chap/bag etc once. Maybe, maybe not. And Hyacinth always reminded me of Hyacinth from 'Keeping up Appearances'.

I'm pretty sure he did use the term "old chap" in the past yes.

Looks like he does still have his British accent too.. XD

Herbert Clarramore flips a few coins through his fingers idly, whistling through his teeth.

Herbert Clarramore looks around with palpable satisfaction.

Herbert Clarramore says, "It's good being a man-of-leisure, wot? I can't think what Hyacinth finds to complain about."

We do not talk like that...

It's pretty silly to assume that the way one NPC talks has anything to do with how the rest of the race should be viewed. In real life, we call that racism.

We do not understand your pigeon-language, you egg pooping cloud monkey.

Well, yes. But one has to wonder where these accents come from IG, Delport has its own village, so perhaps there's a British/Southern colony of Trill hidden out there. It's not just Herbert though, it's the servants too. The new kitchen maid practically says Yes'm <.<;; Like Clarramore's turned plantation style. It's an interesting change to wrap my brain around.

Phoebus talks like a complete hick sometimes, but it's not because she's a trill. It's because she's a complete hick. I don't think that accents should be tied in with races! If a non-human lived in Delport, I'm sure they'd come out of it with a Delportian accent, for instance. So just because Herbert Clarramore has an interesting manner of speaking doesn't mean that there's some secret trill village of British hillbillies out there somewhere.

You might say...




TRILLBILLIES B)

I just love how the key to winning a greathunt is killing vermin so you don't end up going up a level bracket. Really screws all the people who start out down there, actually do real hunting instead of just putzing around the city killing rats, and end up suddenly being out of the competition because they didn't metagame their pants off. Should call it a Rathunt instead.

I didn't know Phoebus was a hick. o.O
