  • (Quote) I have to say that your attitude regarding the game is entirely baffling to me.  As far as I am concerned, the other players are what makes the game worth playing.  There are a ton of wonderful roleplayers and writers in Aetolia…
  • (Quote) My mistake, I thought you'd done it already.  That said, the rest of what I said stands.  And I wasn't saying that you were breaking the rules of the game either.  I wasn't sure if that was your read on it, but it's what the cap…
  • I would expect that getting killed by Azton had a lot more to do with @Calipso's general behavior, and not enemying him to the clan.  You've kind of set yourself up…
  • (Quote) People complained about my signature being too long.  Now it's a shoebill.
  • (Quote) I think @Teani summed it up nicely right there.

  • (Quote) NewTeradrim kind of need a lot of work unfortunately.  That said, I still vote every day and more people should vote.  While the new teradrim have been underwhelming I do like the direction of the game as a whole.

  • I have a bit of rage about metagaming.  I worry about posting RP logs sometimes because I don't want people to magically find ways to take them ICly.  I'm aware that it's a small minority of the player base that does that, but when you get a few peo…
  • (Quote) It's possible that what you're saying actually could be coded as a solution.  When someone is truelocked, it mechanically disables all passive curing on them, including the necklace of purity.  It doesn't solve the problem of pa…
  • (Quote) You ruined my original love, so here is another love.

    I love Audrey Hepburn.  I especially love her in the movie 'Funny Face' which features Astaire, who I also love.  The movie does a hilarious job of skewe…

  • I love @Arbre's new signature.  It's so pretty.

  • (Quote) It's just a deer, and it's from 'Nichijou'.  Which I'd definitely recommend, it's generally pretty hilarious, at least in my opinion.

    To stay on topic, I have rage about 'near misses'.  Those situations wher…
  • (Quote) Even when I first knew you I'd say that you were a pretty good RPer, and you've gotten a lot better over the years.  I personal think you're pretty wonderful at it by this point.  You just don't give yourself enough credit.

  • (Quote) You change signatures so frequently that rather than changing into 'evening wear' it's more like you slip into your 'evening signature'.  I cannot be expected to keep up with every gif you've ever used.
  • (Quote) I kind of want to point out that nearly no one can do the smoke elementals.  The only person I know of who actually did them on a regular basis was Mazzion, and I used to see him die to them pretty frequently.  Being able to do …
  • (Quote) The point about the honours mobs is one that I did not really think about, and you put it well.  That said, general bashing, discounting the honours mobs and raids, is definitely a balance between dps and tankability.  With thei…
  • (Quote) That's not actually the case.  Lets do some side by side comparison

    A praenomen with the experienced statpack is going to be bashing at 17 strength and using the red mist defense, and without any artifacts t…
  • (Quote) One of the big problems that I have with the class is how hard it is to get a double break using the skills.  Nearly every other limb damage class has a method of breaking two limbs at once, monks and sentaari with tekura, lumin…
  • (Quote) I did not mean 'loverbre'.  Not unless the three of you guys all plan on unicorning.

  • (Quote) The portmanteau should clearly be 'Lovebre'

  • (Quote) I feel your pain.  When I updated to a newer operating system years ago the system that I was using at the time, 'Rapscallion', started to crash on me all the time.  I was extremely frustrated and stopped engaging in combat for …
  • (Quote) I'm not entirely a non-com you know, I'm just not a particularly serious one, and simply not being at your level doesn't mean I don't understand concepts or have no right to weight in.  This is kind of another example of what I …
  • (Quote) When you say 'people' what I see is a group of about four or maybe five very active voices on either side fighting about what they feel is unfair, and rather than posting numbers and giving logical arguments, the majority of the…
  • (Quote) I love how enthusiastic and happy you are, it makes the world a better place.
    in LOVE Comment by Mephistoles May 2013
  • I think I have rage towards the forums.  The sparring grounds in particular is just about the nastiest place associated with the game, with a group of five to ten people who shout at each other back and forth, trying to win public favor by making th…

    If you're looking to get into combat, I'd say that cabalists are underpowered enough that you might have a bad gameplay experience because of it.

    Aside from that, Moirean is right.  You can …
  • I was asking Moirean her recommendations for a good bardiche or halberd, and since I find it difficult to talk comprehensibly about weapon stats ICly I was using OOC tells with her.

    Moirean tells you, "((tbh, I'd get one fo…
  • You're a good writer, though not a fast one, and I never regret the wait for an emote from you.  Your excellent, or at least above average, knowledge of anatomy is always fun as well.  There have been a few times I've had to look up a muscle or musc…
  • (Quote) I think Chibre is my favorite Arbre nickname since Pawbre.

    Also, sorry for getting some love in your hate guys, carry on.
  • I would personally suggest building more on the 'secret knowledge about the workings of the world' sort of theme rather than making them too much into biologists who just happen to practice numerology.  Here would be my suggestions for theme at the …
  • If you want a look at what a guild with themes like the cabalist would look like with a coherent set of skills that all tie together I'd take a look at the Illuminati in Lusternia.  The cabalists, and the Illuminati, are basically all about 'secret …
