Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING
Double post, don't @ me. Here's Akyaevin and Ironbeard, my new Lusternian OTP:
The rowdy notes of a drinking song, faint at first, then rising to the undisputed intensity of a
Dwarf On A Mission, herald the arrival of Ironbeard the Magnanimous who casts his beam of a
smile about himself as he arrives.
Ironbeard the Magnanimous hiccups and says, "Special people like Ashley deserve something
special on special days."
"Haha!" laughs Silvanos.
You rush up to Ashley and throw your hands into the air, giving a loud "WOO!"
A dusky red manticore with a voluminous mane of rust-colour fur rears back and unhinges
his jaws, releasing bolts of lightning that spread across the surrounding area.
With a great cry, Ironbeard the Magnanimous rushes forward and rams Akyaevin with his
expansive stomach. Akyaevin falls to the ground in surprise.
Lord Akyaevin n'Lochli says, "OH DEAR."
You say, "Akyaevin no."
You say, "AKYAEVIN NO."
With a trilling chirp, Couturier Silvanos Lunarose, Viniculturist says, "NOOOO."
Akyaevin is propelled to the north upon a pogo stick.

Revelrous Afrit Dahyu, Lazula of the Sands says, "Oh, he left."
You yell, "Clear!"
Akyaevin lands bouncing upon a pogo stick from the north.

smile about himself as he arrives.
Ironbeard the Magnanimous hiccups and says, "Special people like Xisiro deserve something
special on special days."
Ironbeard the Magnanimous lifts his battleaxe with surprising swiftness and raises it above his
head. With a downward swing, Ironbeard the Magnanimous smashes the blade into Akyaevin's
shoulder, nearly taking off his arm.
Producing a pewter flagon from his satchel, Ironbeard the Magnanimous lets loose an angry
roar and strikes Akyaevin square across the jaw.
Lord Akyaevin n'Lochli says, "OH NO."
You yell, "WAIT HE'S BACK."
Hooligan Xisiro Dahyu, Goon of Okorushi says, "He's back!"

Re: Absence Thread
Posting, again, on behalf of @Aleyah et all; with apologies to @hallifax, @Viravain And probably others;
it seems to be neurological in origin and involves emergency care, whatever’s going on with the confusion and light sensitivity, something something teeth. Vagaries due both to lack of information on my part and medical privacy for an old friend.
And I’m still in a hotel somewhere in the Midwest. Should be back in Cali by New Year, fingers crossed.
(It seems this is the only thread I ever post in, sigh.)

Great care has been taken to draw a loveable, oddly translucent harp
seal upon the gut. The entire form of the adolescent seal seems formed
from light blue ice, aside from the mint green eyes. Encircling the
navel, the seal gazes out at the world with an adorable mien.

Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow
So, someone pointed me towards EMOVERRIDE, which is explained in changelog 1945. OMG I wanted this for so long. Being a tiny faeling, I always felt some of the stock emotes were awkard for aeldra and now I can customize them and still get the associated poses... am having a field day here. Whoever added this, all the praises

Re: Absence Thread
I'm going to be a bit scarce for a week or two. Doesn't feel super fun to play in Glom right now, so I'm having a breather to let me re-engage with the things I enjoy on my return.
Will probably be around, just only briefly when I am.

Re: Simple questions?
Basically the policy of RECOGNIZE is common sense. Don't abuse HELP SECONDS. Don't use it to bypass snub. Don't harass people with it (it should be used for positive things only, even if that positive thing is a negative experience). Don't create a deal with somebody where you recognize them daily and they recognize you back.Jatius said:So, recognizing players. I like to do so with those that I have rped with because they took time to do so, and RP is why I like to play as opposed to a hack and slash mud. Other games I've played in the past (mostly mushes, where advancement of your character only came through admin events and recognition from other players) had pretty black and white rules about frequency, etc. to curtail abuse. They'd also ask for logs if they thought you were gaming the system.That all said, are there some better guidelines about acceptable use of recognize than the help file? I keep logs out of habit, so I can justify mine, but I've been asked a time or two to no longer recognize someone because they're afraid of administrators coming down on them. This irritates me, since someone is taking time they could use for daily credits harvesting and wasting it on me. If this has been answered before, I'd love to see it. Forums search functionality is bad.
We check the logs. We don't police it too hard. It should primarily be used for roleplay encounters, but I've seen a couple times where it's been used for a good fight. We aren't going to come down on that.
Our policy is not to answer "what if" questions. There are scenarios that I may not have covered because I can't forsee them. However, chances are if you're not breaking another rule with RECOGNIZE, there won't be an issue.
