  • I feel really bad, because at this point, Bamathis is being conceptually piled on not only by those on Spirit, but also those on Shadow. It feels like the revelation of Varian (even if it might be told by Niuri-turned-Lexadhra with her own agenda?) …
  • (Quote) I can agree with this perception of yours and personally think that everyone, not just people playing villains, have a responsibility to the game. It goes back to sportsmanship - and I believe that we are painfully lacking in this i…
  • I don't think anyone expected sympathy, least of all Whirran. He knows what he's doing. I'm not here to be a white knight for him. He can hold his own, and I can hold mine. The pet peeve was from me, because of a perceived attitude that borders a li…
  • Yeah, it's low-key because this is probably the only and last time I will vent about it. If it rocks your jollies because I'm venting about the attitude - and you probably see it as me trying to pick a fight on forums - well, you do you!
  • I low-key dislike it when people write on public posts picking on people who would rather choose to hunt rather than joining a fight. You really gonna shame people for making the personal choice in trying to pursue level 200 by making them feel like…
  • I would take a lowering of how long chalices last for (12 hours instead of 24 hours) if it could be paused when I logged off. For someone who can only invest 3 hours or so everyday to bash and who wants to make the most of it, I do feel my heart ach…
  • I think it's been said that a lot of the swing in RP right now in Aetolia is towards agendas rather than ideals, and perhaps that's something we need to look at, when we consider revamping the Envoy system.

    I do understand the pain and th…
  • I mean, I guess people could shout less, though I can see how it can get tiring if players as mortals consistently shout against a god (or any god) thinking they're equal and have a right to be. This is related to my next pet peeve.

  • If I recall correctly, bio energy utilises finely focused shadow/ambient shadow to bring about changes in the body. Obviously, you can use it for positive changes (bio knitting) or for malicious purposes (mutagens). That might already put a big old …
  • I get what you mean. You're saying that tethers should only play a role in identifying where a character's morality stands, but everything else that they stand for shouldn't be automatically answered for them, because they stand on a certain side.
  • (Quote) I'd rather know what you think about the existence of tethers and whether you think it'll enrich the story and game by having more sides and emphasizing city identities, and whether it would make things feel more balanced and interest…
  • (Quote) What I want to change is the ability to have more story or significance that ties the Shadow cities closer together than it has historically been. As Legyn said, the only Shadow significant story we've had recently where we banded tog…
  • I think a lot of the frustration stems from how we all look at tethers and roleplay around it. I've played this game since 2003, and took a 10 years break around the time multiclass was released. In my opinion, I feel that it was because of the p…

  • You're clearly in the wrong city. <_<
  • - At 100 death essence, you will become saturated with death energy.
    - This will prevent you from damaging and landing killing blows on other players within the conflict zone,
    encouraging you to rotate your team members …
  • Thanks a lot, Bryn! You're doing all our VIPs a huge favour. I know another in the Archivists who could use this as well, I'll message him so at least he can get set up on Mushclient with this too.
  • Hey @Qelres. Know any other Misi around?
  • Seems like a batch of interesting changes designed to slow combat a little, and make people run less to stall out any fight (which isn't fun by any means, hit twice and they bounce from the room). Would you consider making it so only those with aggr…
  • Don't make me issue you guys for spamming me with filler posts I am forced to read.

    ... on a more serious note that is unrelated to the recent row of conflict pet peeves, I was really enthusiastic to try my hand at the Y500 Design Contest…
  • I'm also curious to know if this essentially means that shrine defilement conflict will always favour the defenders than the attackers.
  • I agree with the flimsy reasoning being prevalent lately, but I think if someone is defending other players in fights that are not their own, even in defilements, they open themselves for retaliation.

    I don't think anyone should be allowe…
  • Thank you immensely for this much needed clarification on all the points.
  • (Quote) I don't think it's an exercise of shifting goalposts, but clarifying what gives someone the right to claim unlimited PK aggro against members for doing stuff for their org. It's skirting the line between what makes the game fun for pe…

    Roleplay-based deaths
    ---------------------
    While a roleplayed motive can be a reason to attack another player, it is not carte blanche to kill

  • (Quote) Got your answer right here, 2 pages back.

    And I did see him die to Benedicto after a pretty long fight 1v1 yesterday.

  • I can't. They're anonymous trash accounts made to drop comments and dash/delete.
  • (Quote) I wasn't going to reveal it but. I don't condone some people making trash accounts on discord and messaging me "you guys really don't get it do you, you started it and you guys should lie in the bed you created", or things like "good …
  • I have a pretty good memory and I remember some rulings and shifts that were made in the past pretty clearly. The reason why HELP PK was actually written was because we as a community can't seem to reach a common understanding on what is accept…
  • I have felt that since the wars ended, and it hasn't abated. It has become a justification of "They did it first", and people don't care to stop and think if it's right to reciprocate in kind. 

    Then, there are also attitudes lik…
  • I completely understand the IC attitudes, and I do think it's warranted for most part (yes, this qualifies both sides) to act as zealots, or assholes, or what-have-you. I'll be more enthused if individuals would actually decide they would RP …
