  • Man, I am totally collecting all of those heart-shaped balloons and not sharing with anyone.  Then, I will strap them to my trusty mount Firebait (who will be totally fine with it, because horses love balloons!) and fly to the undiscovered southern …
  • Some guy trying to get us to resurrect a bunch of stupid laws that tend to encourage people to be self-satisfied jerks who are overly in love with their e-rank.  It has been mercifully quashed, I think.  
  • One thing that scares the hell out of me, and was made painfully clear last night, is that we really are probably always just one bad leader away from someone who can make an org really, really not fun.  I've spent a lot of money on Imperian, becaus…
  • Getting to that lesser number would probably need admin at the helm to minimize hurt feelings (and just to have the thrust to push it forward).  People are pretty attached to their orgs, even if they are orgs in name only, and even if there really n…
  • I know, I know!  But here, the concept at least exists, and is recognized as valid and real.  Sometimes?  
  • Is it me or is the tempo of "activities" so heavy right now that it's actually having a bit of a chilling effect on conflict?  I mean, so often there will be caravans and shardfalls at the same time, for example, or at the very least in such quick s…
  • The other night Cordilia said her mare was "the baddest bitch in Aetherius", so being a horse (and even a mare!) owner I of course immediately thought of this:

  • Make fewer Guilds if need be.  Even big old Achaea only has 3 per city.  Maybe drop us down to.... less than we have now, and split the assets of the defunct Guilds between the remaining and/or new ones.  And, since Guilds are per circle, rathe…
  • One of the main reasons my characters in all IRE games are in cities/guilds/houses is because I know it brings in "free" income for my overall org whenever I buy an assload of credits.  That translates into all kinds of perks for everyone, most of t…
  • I really like the idea of relaxing a potential stranglehold on profession skills, while making sure that there aren't Stavennite devotion users or something. 

    What about the credit purchases that Guilds get, though?  Those…
  • He's named in honor of the time I accidentally lured all of Ithaqua's wolves into Calais' campfire thing and then left :P.  Accidentally (but really, it was).

  • I just thought of this because of a topic in the other game about wormholes.  Here, I've learned that any normal wormhole would end up destroyed.  What about having a few key wormholes that were indestructable (obviously not in/right next to cities,…
  • Yep yep, lots of people I know ended up in that area.  I retired from the AF in 2013, and even my wee baby cousin, who never did the military gig, uses her math degree out there.  
  • (Quote) On the upside it lets you kill people who are terrible (like me) twice in quick succession (and both deaths "count" for your sect and against theirs)?

    Is your concern that it makes the bigger side's health pool even bi…
  • So many IRE players are not just military, but intel.  And of that pool, a surprising number from the linguist field.  
  • Are we the only classes that get to cheat death or do other professions have similar ways of "cheating" death?  If it's just us, what you ask for sounds reasonable.  If not, maybe all of those classes deserve to be looked at.  By the way, I no longe…
  • (Quote) I've seen ALL of these things from a follower's standpoint in non-Imperian orgs.  Literally all of them.  I was going to pick one or two to stress but they all seem to feed each other.  I've also seen what happens when there is no one who …
  • Ultrix is making us do mandatory fun crossword puzzles this weekend :(  I am terrible at crossword puzzles.

    Anyway,…
  • I think I "like" this, but I also feel like I barely know you and we've had exactly one very mild, respectful disagreement... (especially compared to some of the others that came up on that topic). Anyway, yay for clear, straightforward paths for o…

  • I've seen it when org ranks are super exclusive.  It, unsurprisingly, seems to encourage rank pulling.  It sounds like you guys at least have a set program (rather than, it happens when it happens, please the right people, etc...), but I feel like i…

  • I can definitely trade you!  
  • I love deadmau5.  It reminds me of the days when I thought I wanted to go to Ibiza.  Of course, I would have hated Ibiza, because loud noises and crowds and probably vomit, but also, body glitter!  
  • Well, keep it up!  The way it came off was "mostly serious, with enough camp for me to not be horrified".

  • Not you Krysaliss, I should have been more clear about that.  I think you genuinely see the continuum of what's acceptable a bit differently, but that's not at all the same thing as the other two things (unfortunately, though, it just tends to provi…

  • (Quote) I think we are mostly in that happy gray area.  People can wear all the thongs (and pockebelts!) they like and I don't mind.  I mean, aren't the staples of war thongs and butter?  Here, something like the "Jesus man" happens sometimes and …
