I agree with the others that it would be interesting for Spines/Bloodloch to get something similar.
...I'll see myself out, thank you.
Hi.

And if the problem is instead that one can't survive long enough to pull off something like Retribution, it's on the player to teach themselves to notice the early signs that they've been targeted and need to leave the room. There's a lot more strategy and coordination involved in group PvP than most people are willing to admit because they either don't want to do the work involved, don't care, or don't see it simply due to damage spam strats being chosen out of pure ease of use.
As for new conflict systems? I think it's something a great many of us would love to see, but there are a lot of hurt feelings and salt over losing, dying, and a general feeling of pointlessness if the reward or outcome isn't worthwhile. It's a player mindset and attitude that needs changed, but it's difficult to do so, because most people will feel obligated to participate and ruin their enjoyment of the game instead of stepping back. If you weren't around for the Proxy War, you should talk to people on both sides about it (and expect salt). Many will readily agree that it was, at times, an extremely fun system and had potential, but the way it was handled left a bad taste in their mouths, and that bitterness was ultimately misunderstood by those on high.
Great episode!
Main Podcast
Tekias Interview
I've been pretty sick (unexpectedly) for a bit and hoped I would be better to make this, but apparently its clinging on despite my efforts (of doing nothing but laying in bed and sleeping with intermittent breaks of whining to Cayn about how I can't breathe through my nose).
Sorry for being a delay! Hopefully we can reschedule soon!
Tomorrow, I will finally be wrangling @Zaila and @Cayn to sit down for that interview. I imagine it's going to be a crazy blast, and am looking forward to it. The following week, @Aloli will be returning to the podcast to help me host it and run it again, so with her assistance we should be back on track for a weekly show.
We also are getting closer to aligning all the city leaders' schedules, and getting all 4 of them together for a little round table. I also have continued to pester @Tiur about doing a Q&A with me, and hopefully his heart or his bosses' hearts will soften to the idea soon.
And lastly, and this is a little personal but I feel I should share it anyways for those of you who would find it intriguing, I will be meeting @Erzsebet in person soon finally, after knowing her for about 8 years from Aetolia. I know she stopped playing the game, but I have asked her about doing an interview(and keeping it tame in the process), and while she gave me mostly a 'why' to doing an interview, she's softened up on it as well in the last few days. So if she becomes amenable to it, I will interview her in person when she's here.
Thanks for your continued interest! I look forward to tomorrow and every tomorrow after that!

Edit: After talking to Aloli and Erzsebet about a thing that happened, I've decided to remain playing, but I am going to stay off the podcast and any other Discord servers for the game.
I wish Aloli luck, and maybe I'll come back to it in the future, but at this time I need to let it go so it can get done properly and for my own peace of mind.
I'm happy to say that after speaking with Aeryx he has decided to return to the podcast with refreshed outlook and energy. Please welcome him back.
With that said, he has decided to do the weekly episodes again. However, as I have become obliged to attend other commitments I am only able to do interviews sometimes, not weekly episodes. For that reason, he is looking for a person to do the weekly episodes with him, preferably shadow-aligned and can speak to the positive aspects of the game's life. Seek him out for more information, if you are interested.
In the past, we began a series of four interviews with city leaders. The first of which was done with Duiran and Iesid has gracefully shared the culture of Duiran.
The next installment to these city interviews was done with Rhyot about Bloodloch. You'll find a link here.
Soon there will be one with Spinesreach and one with Enorian. Please let me know if you have specific questions you'd like asked during these interviews!
Thank you!
A good listen. A few questions for the city leaders: proudest IG moment, what has been your favorite memory, if you could choose to have any class from the other tether in your city what would you choose? If you had to pick a god from the opposite tether to join your tether who would you choose?

Thank you both for these questions and feedback! I'll see what I can do to include them in my next two interviews, and they've inspired me to add a couple of my own questions as well with a little twist.
Also, you're right Bruin, they are carrion beetles! I completely forgot. Thank you

A suggestion - the first five minutes was a little bit rocky due to interruptions, but once the topic was understood it went very well. As I'm only a listener, I do not know how the podcast is prepared, but perhaps sending the guest a preview of the questions would help a lot. Otherwise, everything else was great and I'm excited to see what becomes of Spinesreach.

(Tells): Sir Iames Gallant, the Executioner tells you, "The one Illuminai beyond prayer, I swear."
Valingar: "How could a daughter of me, the most noble man in the south, be so heartless?"
(Tells): Haven Locke, Illuminai Khimaira tells you, "Be that as it may, I've also seen the strength in you. You can take care of yourself."
