Re: Benedicto
Each lens modifies her experience and makes her realise that while he does have faults as a mentor (he's mentored both her younger sister and her husband and has not received favourable reviews)Firstly, that's just rude.
Secondly, I'll be having words with @Drystin about all of this.
Thirdly, Kalena and @Eoros will be made to muck out the stables permanently for the impertinence of their parents.
You will rue the day!
Re: Rankings - recent changes
@Demarcus Oddly enough, I tried this! We briefly had a promotional thing, terrariums, where minipets could permanently die. The thought was that people would take 50/50, 30/70, etc chances to convert a minipet to a better prize. Pets would die, the numbers would drop, woohoo. We also implemented MINIPET MERGE to take two minipets and shoot for a rarer, new, third (it's iffy if this was enjoyed, tell me if people would like this to be used more often). Turns out, VERY few people are willing to risk a cute little pet, even if the rewards are great. I also was of the opinion the mount problem could be solved with pokemon battles. But again, turns out players are hesitant to murder their pets. We have tried for the weird solutions, and it's not been fast enough. My ideas were insufficient!
This got 'fixed' super quickly because an immediate problem arose; it was discovered by SOME CELANI that it was 'hilarious' to send other players or gods to the minipet storage room, because the game had a conniption fit over it. There were so many pets in there that we couldn't actually view all the pets without Rapture screaming "RECURSION ERROR" and cutting connections. So what happens when you try to throw someone into a depth of loop error? Bad things.... so it was fixed ASAP. Quickly eliminate the reason people overpurchase to stop the problem, then we can find a means to fix it... (personally, I was championing a conversion of minipet storage to a cache, currently we just funnel them into another place). When something is fixed in this manner, there's usually not a discussion about it, we just immediately tourniquet the bleeding artery and then go into hospital mode.
You can visit Wilson now for a bit of money back. The minipet problem will persist for a while, but it has a bandaid for the moment.
As to the issue response:
The issue was basically just criticism and didn't have a real question. While yes, you can suss out the real intent of the issue, it's not exactly phrased in a manner that can be placated. So the response could have been less snarky, but I'm not sure how it could have actually been helpful. Real people have to respond to things, and even when the Alecto pants are on, sometimes it's difficult. I've been begging for years to remember that issues aren't for this sort of thing (the angry phrasing, not a question, questions are fine). This forum thread is super helpful though, as it's letting us gauge our consideration of the problem to your input.

Re: Guiseppe
What a grade A

Sry likes Guiseppe. They get along well. They're like two edgy little peas in a little edgy pod, but being at opposite ends of the spectrum with Guiseppe being a dweeby little edgy dork and Sry being a grouchy little edgy dork. Two wonderful little dorks doing Daddy Dhar's dorky little work. We don't RP as much as I'd like, but one of these days I'd definitely like to fix that!

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.
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.
