Heeey, thread, I wasn't sure where to post about weird quirks I've found on the forums, and figured this was probably the closest to the right place. When you're looking at the activity, and you see...
"You changed Your profile picture."
The links "You" and "Your" try to lead to the nonexistent profiles of the users You and Your, as opposed to your own profile. Same thing with the word "their", "his", or "her" in "Notyou changed their/his/her profile picture."
EDIT: Oh for the love of-- why is that text highlighted and how do I stop it.
Tch. Hallifax has never been keen on politeness. Condescending illusions of superiority on the other hand...
You clearly have never met some of the Master Artists and Over City denizens. Protocol and respect for positions is pretty much the glue that holds together their social interactions.
If you seriously think being polite and decorous isn't a big part of Hallifaxian society...I'm just going to quit my (Lusternia) job and take up (Lusternia) drinking.
Also what's this about not being a "peasant"? That's not what Hallifax is about. You don't hit CR6 and get the right to be a jerk to everyone. Everyone in Hallifax is equal-- some are just more equal than others. Do not disrespect the servant, for the servant is a valuable piece of the Collective just like you or me! It is just even worse if disrespect is directed towards someone like a Master Artist. Respect everyone. Just respect your superiorequals even harder.
Being polite is not the same as being respectful. Being polite is not about decorum. It is about building bridges between people. Being polite in your interactions with someone is about making you want to strangle them less. The general NPCs are anything but polite in their interactions. They're curt, arrogant and quite often whiny. They're merely "sophisticated" in their behaviour, but they do in no way endear themselves with such incredible falseness in their interactions.
For the players, the way they've been taking a joke says enough I should say.
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
Admittedly the sheer number of dislikes thrown around [by all parties, myself included] somewhat invalidates any solid argument about joking. What with the perception of defending the joke to the bitter end and all.
But back to the topic on hand for the thread, whatever it was. Was it pie? I think it was pie. I'm very partial to Lemon Meringue.
.oO---~---Oo.

If for some reason, when you're quoting, you get stuck 'inside' the quote itself, there's a little icon on the tool bar with a piece of paper with < > on it. Click it, and it converts your post to simple html. This will allow you to just move down below the end quote and type regularly.
@Phoebus - I know you've been having this problem regularly. It's an easy client-side solution for now!
Also, if you want to tag someone, it's just like Facebook/Twitter - @<Charactername>.
So you can be like, @Estarra has some seriously sexy heals today.
That's not true. I made it to adept. You, of all people, made it to adept. YOU. XENTHOS. HA.
Sorry, but it's definitely true!
You don't really get points for posting (except for a piddly number at certain thresholds). You mostly get points for Likes and Agrees.
You've received a number of them, thus, your points have gone up. Clearly other forum-goers think you post more intelligently than you give yourself credit for.
I never thought I'd see the day when Celina was being self-deprecating...

I like the new show source button.
How do I make a poll?
You need to post intelligently.
