Re: Announce post #3189: June Promotion Try #3
I usually theme promotions when there are events going on. This just seemed fun. It lets me use promotion bits that maybe didn't do so well on their own, too.
Direct salvage... blech. I mean, if you guys really want, I suppose maybe July.

Re: Rankings - recent changes
@Tiur Are there any thoughts about making the Golden keystone to purchase minipets take into account pets we already have? It's not an easy keystone to get and it does sell you repeated minipets, can this be made to only give unique one please?

Weekend was too short 
Re: Rankings - recent changes
Best I've got is that entire self issue was unhelpful.Alright, that's fair. I still think it's a needlessly rude response when "We have no further plans at this time" should have been the standard response.
You're using the slippery slope fallacy, and that's never a good way to make people side with you or even want to engage you in conversation. It wasn't a simple information request, @Legyn, it was 'I'm annoyed that you removed my big number, are you going to slippery slope all my other big numbers away too?'
(all that said, showidea 3372)

Rankings - recent changes
This is a bit of a vent, complaint, and hopefully some clarification:
01:51:50 ---[ OOC ANNOUNCEMENT ]-----------------------------( 2021/05/28
05:51:50 )---
01:51:50 I saw some of you guys talking about it and I've decide to remove
RANKINGS TOTAL MOUNTS. It encourages replica bloat which we don't need. RIP total
mounts rankings.
01:51:50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

01:55:52 ---[ OOC ANNOUNCEMENT ]-----------------------------( 2021/05/28
05:55:52 )---
01:55:52 Total minipets has been dropped too.
01:55:52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

While I understand this is biased because of my place in rankings. I also understand the bloat that it can/could cause, however it is a big hit to time, gold, and credits. If I remember correctly, I had almost 1002 mounts. I have 62 unique mounts, which means I spent a LOT of gold to establish the ranking. Around 4,700,000 gold if you subtract unique from total. The only reason I had those additional mounts was for that ranking, which makes them now worthless. This is the same for minipets. Those were by time questing, gold, and credits buying them off others.
If the resources were not there to have multiple items, why was it ever instituted as a ranking?
I issued myself, to get clarification specifically on total artifacts, relics, styles, and figures, and if those would go away:
"since both rankings were updated and removed for total mounts (which i spent a lot of gold on just to have it removed) and total minipets (once again a lot of gold, credits and time) pvp and pve deaths should also be removed from rankings. It is the same detriment that was applied in the logic for deathstats, when the names were removed from that. I only put myself in that ranking because it counts toward the ranking total. Remove those two as well please. Rewarding people for dying is a bad metric. How far will this continue, I don't want to work hard to get total styles, total figurines, total artifacts, and total relics if the same trend will continue."
This is a pretty snarky remark from the admin considering from "HELP ISSUES" : "A personal request for clarification or immortal assistance: It is OK to issue in order to ask a question, or to get clarification from an immortal. Just ISSUE ME . This is far better than shouting for an admin or divine."
Reply from admin:
"Issue 22100: No. There are more productive ways to express displeasure than wasting Administration's time in this manner."
So, is the answer a "no" to what? No to the other totals? No to removing pvp and pve death rankings? Clarification would be great.
I am guessing there is no recourse for all the wasted gold, etc. even though that value is way more than an individual high cost artifact. 780 credits just for the mounts, at the current credit rate. This is very similar to changing the use of an artifact, and giving out refunds. My preference would be to delete all those extra mounts and refund back the value, not sure how you quantify minipets though.

Re: Quotes & Misquotes: Falling Off of Bridges
Sekeres drinks from a tiny, base oil bottle of kawhe oil.
Sekeres did not just drink straight from an essential oil bottle like a weirdo. She drank from a wine bottle.
Cameryn nods along. Of course she did. Totally wine bottle.
Sekeres drinks from an elegant, Havothi marked wine bottle of chilled, Iron Hill's Fleck's milk.
You have emoted: Teotl flicks one ear at the stumble, jerking out of their reverie and turning to see if Cameryn were fine, and definitely saw Sekeres drink from a wine bottle like a normal tavern-goer.

Re: This little piggy went to market (not safe for the squeamish)
How do I un-read this:I would say I'm surprised by him eating a toe. But I'm not.
Sryaen lifts a lightly armored hand to catch the severed toe in his palm.
Keeping his piercing stare leveled upon you, the Templar stuffs the flesh
into his mouth and begins chewing slowly, every other bite accompanied
with a snapping of the nail between his teeth. Finally, he swallows and
turns his attention away from you to resume inspecting the damage done to
the village.
Not even a little bit.
