Ankyrean Anguish - Aetolia-based RAGE

Rage: Crafting rejections which aren't actually correct.

Toz

I linked a Purdue article back when someone insisted on me adding another hyphen and they rejected it again for the same thing. Still hate crafter's.

Erzsebet

But-Toz! Everything-must-be-hyphen-ated.

Trager

Definitely something I have noticed. You have some -really- hardcore grammar Na*i's in Aetolia. Half the time, I sit and wonder if they're actually right, or just blowing smoke. But, alas, mah brayne nu wrk lyke tha, so I have to believe 'em.

Gwenith

Even your name T-oz.

Rashar

They're often absolutely incorrect. They're even more often unsure-but-still-reject-because-look-funny. Which is almost worse, maybe. Hyphens.. When English majors stop arguing over whether or not they're required, I'll listen to what people in crafters say. Maybe.

It's a legitimate rant @Moirean. He didn't name names or say it was unfair. He just expressed his frustrations about the tactic in general. I'm sure if we searched the forums we'ld find a post of yours somewhere complaining about shield spam or hit-n-run tactics or some other survival mechanism that is frustrating. Hell, I wouldn't even know there was a specific incident he's complaining about until you dobbed yourself in. Don't need to get so defensive.

He posted SECONDS after we killed them after I used shield for a very specific goal. I know it's super popular to jump on my case and dislike me, (and apparently that's a bonding process for some of you, I've seen the Moi-bashing on CT and clans), but this is absurd. I am being flagged as a troll when HE TROLLED ME, as he first bitched IG and then came to forums to continue the bitching since he was dead - and I responded explaining why he died. Instead of going "Oh hey, I can learn from this situation and PK better next time" you guys are downvoting me and chastising me.

Trager

Hater 'gun hate.

Areka

Moi, you are reading too much into it.

Erzsebet

I lot of the time rejections are stylistic, I've seen, when they really shouldn't be.

I've been known to ask Areka or Nola or some other grammar-minded sort if I'm unsure about a bit of grammar/phrasing. "Is this just phrased oddly, or is it actually wrong?" Is not an uncommon phrase for any of them to hear. If I can't find my own answer, or someone else to answer, I typically leave it alone and just let someone else approve or reject.

Oleis

That was a whole ton of aggression for no reason at all. How about we don't do that again.

Hi, you must be new.

I rage at my continued lack of motivation to login and actually play Aetolia. Twice now, I've logged in, read news and such, then completely forgot I was logged into the game.

Pearle

The darkened silver plates of this amulet have been woven into the intricate form of a thirteen pointed star. Ancient runes of power surround the obviously magical figure, and a single tiny emerald is suspended at the center of the amulet.
It can only be worn in the following location: forehead.
It weighs 10 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of a seagull.

We got our amulets 'changed' to be a wearable item representing our thirteen-point star scars...and the item is still described as an amulet? Made by a seagull?

Maybe I'm overreacting, but the idea of wearing it when it looks like this makes my eye twitch.

Erzsebet

...always got the impression the Indorani had both an amulet -and- a scar, representing that allegiance?

The seagull thing is silly, but probably a bug.

Rashar

No. That's one badass seagull.

Pearle

We had both the amulet and the scar. Then we got our amulets changed to be scars/irremovable items we can wear.

...but not really, I guess.

The seagull is kind of funny. I keep imagining this great big seagull that flies down during the induction ceremony and kicks you in the face. SMACK! And suddenly, you have a scar.

Erzsebet

Oh. That's lame. I liked having both.

Jensen

Ah, Skippy the Seagull. Aetolia's Snuggly the Crow.

Moirean

Seagull seems right to embody despair, since Ashtan was a pretty sad place.

From what I've seen you can still have both.
One goes around the neck the other is forced upon the forehead.
That is kind of annoying that they're both marked as amulets rather than an amulet and a scar.
Seagull power!

* tells you, "Hi."

* tells you, "Are you busy."

* tells you, "Are you there."

(Spinesreach): * says, "Can anyone take me on a run through Xaanhal please?"

Etc. There are just enough newbs like this to make me go grr.

Moirean

Lag spikes during survivor. I was kinda excited to try it in Nightmare Mode, but once the constructs came out, everything dropped to like 10-15 second chunks.

Meyvitch

It's Nightmare Mode. Of course it did! :-D
