Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
I kind of find it absolutely appalling that anyone would pick on an order with all of like 2 members in it. Smh be better, Aetolia.

Re: Bard Class Preview
Today's teaser shows off the GOSSIPMONGER ability from Performance!
Note that the [Gossip]: line is an admin alert which I included to show off the area limitation!
Syntax: GOSSIP
GOSSIP SPREAD (text)
A bard is ever-attuned to the local gossip, and when handled right it can be a weapon as deadly as any other. Through the careful sifting of gossip, bards learned the movements of the great houses of Djeir, and with a word or two in the right ear, they would draw their targets into the open.
You must be at least slightly tipsy in order to loosen your silver tongue, both allowing you to pick up gossip with more clarity than other people, and spread new gossip. Gossip spread in this way will be local to the current area, and last a lot shorter than natural gossip. Gossip can only be spread once every hour - any shorter than that and you risk being outed as the source.

Re: Bard Class Preview
The Bard preview for today was chosen by Keroc and shows off one of the more out of the box abilities: Songcalling "Mythics":
Disclaimer: As with the others, this ability is still in active development and may behave differently when it is live, but as of now, this is how it looks:
Syntax: SING SONG OF MYTHICS
Target: Audience.
Perform the song of mythics to another who is mutual allies with you. Upon hearing its uplifting notes, your soul will drift into and swap with the other, allowing you control over them, and them control over you.
Either person may use the command UNPOSSESS to end the control.

Announce post #3350: Major Seconds Abuses

Major Seconds Abuses
Hi everyone,
I wouldn't normally do this as I prefer to keep player punishments between the admin and the players involved, but on this occasion I felt that the gravity and the far-reaching nature of the situation merited it being shared in public.
Today I have permanently shrubbed Caitria, Blodwyn, Anahera, and in total around eighteen characters that are all associated with or played by the same player. These characters span numerous accounts and various identities across the whole game. One of them was an active Celani from the most recent batch played at the same time as Caitria and others. This Celani had not been fully promoted, and did not yet hold a God role, but had been involved in major projects.
This player has a long history of similar behaviour on Achaea that has spanned multiple years and countless characters. I had hoped it would not be the case here, but I was mistaken.
The amount of effort required to craft false identities, to obfuscate and conceal, and to utilise numerous proxies in order to play these multiple concurrent roles has, frankly, left me astonished. This is an incredibly serious breach of our seconds policies and an enormous betrayal of trust.
This type of behaviour is not and never will be welcome in Aetolia or any other IRE game.
Penned by my hand on Quensday, the 5th of Haernos, in the year 501 MA.

Re: Bard Class Preview
Continuing our Bard previews series, I've asked the team to pick one of their favourite flavour/non combat abilities from the three skill trees to show off next!
We won't be showcasing any combat abilities as these are more likely to change before release, so without further ado, my pick of choice: MIMICRY from Performance!

---
Syntax: MIMIC (speaker|NOONE)
Every talented performer knows how to imitate another and you are no exception. With this ability, you can speak as though you are another by attempting to mimic another person within your location.
Once you have begun to mimic them, your ability to SAY and TELL will appear as though they are the ones speaking instead.
You can cease to mimic others by using MIMIC NOONE and return to your regular voice.
