I hope people will show up again tonight. We're lacking Corvites lately. Solaje will be there. And Thatcher- you weren't there last week, so Botanical Coalition it is!

(And Solaje doesn't have race issues... I just meant the feel of the song fit her character)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rzSOI We recently moved to TX, to a neighborhood filled with magnolias which are in full bloom right now. A run through the streets inspired me to listen to this, and I realized it's Solaje's theme song! The minor key and morbidity suit her, not that many people ...

I've had characters that never got off the ground b/c I stuck them in guilds that didn't fit them. Grinding with no goals or tasks gets pretty repetitive. Also, it seems like city tasks would make where you live even more important.

And Shortly too.

Tone:

Airy (Airily)
Brave (Bravely)
Thankful (Thankfully)

Solaje will still be there. But if you're taking a break, Vitello, I may re-name your society "The Corvus Botanical Coalition."

I kinda like that one. :)

I'm also a little sad about losing the tell command, but I haven't been around a lot and I'm sure you GMs know best. I rarely use "chat", but I do find that it's nice to say hello via "tell" after long absences. I also use tell when I meet someone new to the MUD, but I suppose we...

Sole-age. I realize it's a weird one. I almost got rid of this character when my husband called her "Sol-uh-jay". Then I decided I don't care if other people mispronounce it. :)

The monks that come to the infirmary still teach brawling. I guess they're probably not supposed to anymore.

A brown-robed monk says, "I can train you in the following skills:

Brawling 12 recognition points
Channeling 16 recognition points
Thaumaturgy 17 recognition points

You are in a town frequented by roaming flesh golems, animated monstrosities and unholy demons from who knows where and.... you are more concerned that some flowers wilted? Also from an IC perspective, there 'may' be a reason why they are that way. Well I never said Solaje was a rational character....

I really wish it was possible to water those withered roses with the pump. Solaje may not like people, but she likes roses!

I like this code. Not that I play a Templar. In Christian circles, we use the term "righteous indignation" to describe anger at an offense against God. An example of this would be Jesus driving the moneylenders and their animals out of the temple with a whip. Also, there is a verse that sa...

No tech days ruin my immersion.

(Clarification: Hadya is my alt, not Dactor. They just share a house.)

I hope you guys don't take houses from people who have long absences. I still love the game, but with five children there my recreation time can be limited. Especially when they're very young, like now. I should be able to play more as the months pass. I love Solaje's house and spent a lot of time s...

And now that there are more people, maybe we could have another storytelling contest! One with more stories this time. That would be a fun way to introduce new lore that you GMs think up too.

Can't join the Skype call right now. Too much multitasking. I haven't been around much for a while, but I second everything Avedri says. Also and especially this: "player-driven lore projects" I'd love to help with this if you think it's possible. As long as people decide not to take it pe...

Good job with the new horses! =)

:(

Kyskie will be missed!

I love the new homes, Zoiya! Good job, and thanks! =)

Yay!

Sounds like fun!

I was going to post a log of the storytelling contest (Acarin participated as well!) but apparently I don't know how to log the game correctly. So here is the story Solaje told, without all the IC actions. ~~~ I once lived in the highest reaches of the western mountains on the border of Ivial and To...
