  • First and foremost, I feel like they robbed the Tyrion/Tywin scene of a lot of its power, and Tyrion/Jaime of some of its complexity and honesty, by omitting Tysha. Clearly that's not what the show had in mind, and I believe it still works as is - b…
  • If this thread is being used to troll people, and everyone's already had their say, I think it's served whatever useful purpose it had. Let's close this sucker down.

    Good talk.

    Good night.
  • A general warning for everyone to keep cool about this. I don't want to have to close the thread. (Quote) I'm very curious about the conversation you were having beforehand; would you mind going into more detail about it?
  • Heavily dependent on context, as with any slang or dialect that belongs to a specific group. Beyond that, not something I'm qualified to talk about.
  • Me personally, I don't think that sexuality or sexual preference is stigmatized or subcategorized the same ways in Aetolia as it is in real life. There might be oblique references to preference, but it doesn't - fortunately - seem to be something th…
  • (Quote) Omei and I can definitely vouch that this depends on the God. Some tend closer to mortality than others...
  • Putting it briefly: yes, Dhar and Ivoln were in love, and yes, their relationship can be construed as romantic and very possibly sexual. The exact details are obviously vague, but that it was romance is definite, indisputable fact.

    The ve…
  • An unanticipated side effect of Moghedu renovations. I've made alterations to the tokens and changed back the shop for the time being. Let me know if it still isn't working.
  • My love is how even though our community can be exceptionally hostile, we are still capable of coming together and celebrating each others' happiness and triumph.

  • Based on current lore, it is far more plausible that Idar was not Albedi, but a Beryl Sea islander; although not as yet revealed to the players in any great depth, there are a number of islands along the southeastern end of Sapience, including Slave…
  • (Quote) With the way the game is programmed, the kind of algorithm you're talking about just isn't practical - the messages are stored all over the place, on different levels of code, and the problem is only made more complicated by the fact that …
  • @Toz: I'm studying computer science myself, and here's a metaphor that seems pretty apt - you have hardware, and you have software. The software that's installed on the…
  • It's one of many ways that humans have elected to construct gender roles. By no means is it the only one, or even the most desirable one. I'd like to see more critical analysis and deconstruction of what being male or female means in Western society.
  • Speaking as someone who loves breaking the gender binary in half...

    The issue with the non-gendered pronoun idea (we've actually given it some consideration) is that the conventional English gender-neutral pronoun currently in use is 'the…
  • Certainly no Westerosi swine.
  • @Bakhtuh‌ - Just so. All they knew was that these heart-devouring, beast-summoning, innocent-slaughtering necromancers called themselves something that sou…
  • @Tina: Kalsu adopted 'indoron' from the High Dwarven/Hlugnic 'endoron', and although the original word meant 'mage', its association with the Indorani led to its meani…
  • Carnifex polearm messages have been altered where they were found to unambiguously describe stabbing or jabbing.

    With that, the open period on requesting style changes has ended.

  • In the future, barring Tekal/Azudim/Idreth/Yeleni transformations, which are conventionalized as appropriate for Town Crier threads, any and all roleplay and transformation logs belong in the section designated for them.

    Congratulations, …
  • (Quote) What, and deny our players the fun of cataloguing them? They've been having quite a lot of fun with that and I'm not one to rob them of that joy.

    I will be making a final round of changes in the next few days; I've been gone and…

  • @Serrice: I have updated the elegant stab and will be checking on the other styles to make sure this Dhuriv philosophy is reflected in the messages. Thank you for l…

  • I'll grant you the Leaping and the Telekinetic changes, but Clumsy is supposed to be ridiculous. That's more or less its point.

  • @Aishia and @Areka - both of those messages have been given a tweak.

    in Styles! Comment by Damariel May 2014
  • Note: if you feel that one of the messages has been mishandled or is not quite up to snuff, say so here and I will work on making it more awesome ASAP. This is an open request, but it's good for a limited time only.

  • (Quote) Think about it: you're the Manipulator. You're playing the long game. You have a tie to every single Syssin in the world, even if they aren't part of your contract with the guild. Why would you remove that as a potential angle?
