  • Instructions unclear, got PKed.
  • It's the same group of people doing the same things without consequences and I feel that all avenues for recourse have been exhausted and I'm tired of it. If you are open to mature feedback, there you have it.

    It's fine…
  • This is a reminder to everyone in the game: if you think PK rules have been broken, ISSUE. You can always ISSUE ME if you just want a clarification, but it's time to pull on your big kid pants and start cashing checks that your mouths are writing if…
  • If you need to get both sides of the story, do so IC. If you have no reason to do so IC, walk away and let IC RP play out without attempting to influence it in such a transparent way.
  • I have to agree, there's no reason to compromise here. If deleting the envoy system and allowing people to just be in whatever guild they want uncovers the "issue" of people ejecting themselves from their city-locked guilds to pack into others outsi…
  • And if I hear anybody go "but muh consequences," let me just stop you right there: some mechanical consequences make some sense, and there's ways to mitigate and recoup loss in a lot of those examples.

    I feel it's impor…
  • There's a lot of legwork to be done, but the bulk of that legwork isn't just on the administration. This is a good time to remind everyone that your characters are not immutable - they are as capable of change as you are, especially when new input i…
  • This is something that should have been addressed ages ago (or even been planned for with the introduction of consumable buffs). I cannot reconcile the fact that not only was a classlead rejected about it, but there has been zero communication regar…
  • I don't suppose Ingram's out there somewhere?
  • I got a commission of Iazamat as a Pokemon trainer with his Cofagrigus, by the fantastic verface on Twitter. :)

    Can't figure out how to have the image display within the post itself, so I guess an attachment it is.
  • I stand by my earlier post, but I think what you have to realize is that death actually doesn't matter in Aetolia and never will, even from a lore standpoint. Maybe the current event is looking to change that and will, but there is nev…
  • I'll never understand trying to get zapped, especially if you aren't locked in a personal story with the god or trying to offer yourself up as tribute (Tanixalthas regularly ate people). It can be funny, I guess, but it really should be more …
  • (Quote) But to then cap it off with an insinuation that Shadow is less accepting of people who "have a stick and just want to smack people"? And accusing Shadow of tearing people down under the guise of constructive criticism? When it's your negat…
  • It very well could be! Regardless, there's bad blood from a few years ago regarding Sunder and how some Shadow players might feel about it, so putting the invite out there and making it clear they're welcomed is the right move. Just wanted to provid…
  • (Quote) Now, I fully admit upfront that I could be misremembering events, and I want to make it clear that I don't blame you for any of the lingering resentment that there may still be as you were not responsible, but there was a point where at le…
  • (Quote) I feel like it needs pointed out - in addition to Elene's mention that there is no unifying goal on Shadow tether - that Spinesreach currently has no reason to change and, really, why should they want to? They're content with their current…
  • (Quote) Unless something has changed significantly, I have a hard time believing this. When players come over from Spirit to Shadow, most remark on how helpful and kind Shadow is, which is the exact opposite of what they hear from other players. I…
  • I would say that these reasons didn't count for some mysterious reason when it was a different group of players claiming them, but again, "rules for thee, not for me" is the name of the game.

    ...killing anybody who damp…
  • Some of you need to have a good, hard read of the PK rules again and stop with the "rules for thee, not for me" mentality.
  • I don't think Nipsy needs a reminder about metagaming. It reads to me, personally, as more of a reminder/warning that Macavity is on thin ice IC for his behaviour and you might want to keep that behaviour there and/or change it instead of bringing i…
  • (Quote) ...Does IRE have the money to retain a psychologist that would be willing and able to sift through IRE players' baggage instead of taking one look and running the opposite direction? Honest question. in Meta Discussions - OOC Nonsense Comment by Iazamat January 2022
  • I 100% support shoving aside and burying oldbie mentalities that don't - and haven't - contributed to the game and its orgs in healthy ways, so it sounds like the Teradrim guild has improved massively with a few simple changes. Things can only conti…
  • People need to follow the rules as written rather than trying to tack on community interpretations that get twisted as time goes on and cause confusion amongst new players/players who don't often come up against the rules. It causes way more headach…
  • If the person doing that is reading this thread: it's time to quit the game until you can mature and be a better person.
  • I think the main takeaway here is this: you are and should be responsible for your own fun. If you don't enjoy an aspect of the game, whether that's shouts, PK, getting smacked upside the gob for your character's attitude, etc, then adjust your RP a…
  • To sell artifacts, of course. 
  • This definitely feels like the wp/end changes that we argued hurt PvE repackaged and reskinned. After that backlash, I can't help but wonder why anyone would think trying them again would be a good idea. No one is stupid enough to miss what these ar…
  • I'll be honest, the "we don't want to be the Carnifex, they're just PKers!" rhetoric sounds more like jealousy than anything and a very distinct fear that Teradrim being popular would mean it's harder for those passing this rhetoric around to mainta…
  • The Teradrim have had a constant and consistent meta-clique issue for years now and any attempts by players to create an inroads in fixing these issues have been stymied by the same meta-clique that has, up until recently, controlled the org. We've …
  • If it didn't happen in web (it didn't, it sounds like it was Discord DMs), then there's very little that Shadow players can do to police it unless it's brought to us with receipts. That didn't happen. In comparison, Tetchta's snippet was in public w…
