  • Gold and elemental ash aren't used to expand player-purchased houses.
  • (Quote) I guess this was the tilting point. I have been playing this game for about twenty years. I love Aetolia, I really do. You don't stick around with anything for that long (MUDs, children, black tar heroin, etc.) without a genuine connection…
  • (Quote) If there was ever ANY sign someone needed to step back, good lord
  • Lin coined "godspit and shit," to the point that I've seen other characters use it, which I gotta say - the guilt is real, because I absolutely ripped the phrase out of China Mieville's Perdido Street Station like 12 years ago
  • There has never been a point in Lin's life in which Mazzion could not simply cast his terrible eyes upon her and vaporize her with a single attack, yet I remember hanging out with Laelio in the Tundra, when he swings through our room, only to…

  • (Quote) Aetolia can be incredibly lonely if your time just doesn't match up. I feel you.

  • If anyone missed it, the Bell tattoo should now let you know if someone in the room can see your thoughts. Seems like a pretty good solution to me!

  • I don't know if anyone mentioned this - I have to skim while at work, apologies - but I think a big factor is people being "irresponsible" with their new Insight toy. A long time ago, it was in vogue for Shadowsnakes/Syssin to use illusions as RP su…

  • (Quote) lmao I haven't been to a lesser in ages dude
  • The weird parasocial obsession everyone has built up with Didi is getting ridiculous. Let's run over the checklist.
    • Is she a sweet, good-natured player? Yes.
    • Does she have a long history of - in her own words - "staying neutr…
  • I need everyone to know that Siba unexpectedly sprang this on me at almost like, midnight, and I ended up staying up until 3am. It was dark and terrible and beautiful and it gave me the weirdest dreams. I tend to shoot my load in geeking out about t…
  • I don't have a lot to contribute to this thread. This feels like a prime example of how different Aetolia can be depending on the company you keep. Some of you guys are describing a completely different game from the one I play.

    I guess l…
  • I try to look at the good of it. I think it's great that you can still represent a guild without having to invest in their martial style (I can be an axe-wielding barbarian who still venerates Dendara and practices ritualism). I think it's great tha…
  • The El'jazira thing has been so fun to see play out. I've been hoping for a shakeup there forever and boy oh boy, this sure is a shakeup.

  • in possibly my biggest brain move yet, i'm gonna bump this thread during a point in lin's life where all she does is plow her wife in the comfort of her home

  • Pretty awesome shakeup, glad to see something being done with my favorite lil' village.

    I feel bad for El'jazira - they're gonna have a hard time finding someone who 1) hates Bloodloch but 2) is also okay with slavery!
  • It's ok I'm in the order and I barely understand it myself

  • (Quote) We'll chalk it up to bad taste on my part, and a willingness to crack a joke over a willingness to think about the joke for just a sec.

    I'm sincerely sorry if I helped contribute to making Aetolia worse for you.
  • I liked the female version so much, I touched it up a bit


  • sweet girl


  • dumb boy (oops forgot his horns)



  • Damn Imperian players really are different
  • If I were to pull a hierarchy system out of my ass to address these concerns, it'd look like this:

    Storyteller - You start as this rank.
    - Most restricted rank.

    People in this rank will probably screw up. They'll pr…
  • I understand Imperian might not have had luck with it, but it's also not really germane here - we couldn't be a more different game from Imperian. What I'm suggesting here also wouldn't have nearly so much in the way of combat implications, you prob…
  • (Quote) It was the Halloween event, too. I cannot think of a time where we've ever considered a holiday event a story milestone for Aetolia.
  • (Quote) Explorer ranking might increase :(
