but I always cringe and fear for people doing the Hand quest, because I think "holy god, what if someone grabbed the Hand while they were offbal from digging for it, or they ran and found the lit room and dug first to get it"
'twould be the ultimate grief, and it scares me. Hopefully this isn't something that can happen.
I remember a few quests and quest releases where Celestians ended up with completely unrelated citydisfavours around the same time they interrupted or stole honours quests like this. It's just a **** move. On the other, I know at least one village quest had admin intervention to stop a particular Celestian from camping it for several cycles in succession.

They actually had to change the quest and reprimand him because he would camp it and kill even citymates who tried to do it.

shouldn't have made a NAP or whatever it is you made
I am so <insert string of expletives> that happened. And yet at the same time, it opens it up for some RP goals....so tooooorn. Love to hate those Wyrded bad peeps.

What's a NAP?
Non-aggression pact. In essence, ceasefire or neutrality.
Digging back up the alt thing, I'm...I'm actually feeling like I have a problem, if @Donato is only fessing up to 'about 20'. I've definitely surpassed that, and I've only been playing for just under five years. Do we have a support group or something for this kind of thing?

The NAP was smart of Glomdoring to do, I'm just surprised Serenwilde fell went for it.

Glom surely tried to drag Mag over the coals when we were in the same position, giving us impossible demands and always refusing a proper treaty of any sorts unless we essentially became a vassal of Glom....I would have loved to see them in the same position. Sadly, Seren just opens their arms wide for them, never mind how Glom was continuously raiding them over and over when the largely had no one to defend them. Maybe Seren has the false memory?
Honestly, I was looking forward to "log in, oh, we're being raided, go fight for a few hours, log out" when I moved back to Glom. Granted, given what our numbers have been lately, we'd likely get blown up. But it would make the small victories we'd manage that much sweeter.

Or Seren just isn't run by griefers? I know I was one of the first people that said... "Yes" to the Glom NAP for Hallifax. (Not that my vote counts in that particular matter, being that I'm not a ruling council member, but for what it was worth, it was said) Why? Because I don't care to harass an org that's practically dead, and I also tried to give them a bit of a boost here and there when their former allies didn't and even went out of their way to screw with my attempts.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
They refused to ally with Magnagora, leaving a lot of bitter, pissed off people. Otherwise, we probably would have stood up for them.
Back on topic - I am guilty of pretending I'm afk sometimes when I'm actually not, because I don't feel like talking to whoever spoke to me or I'm not in the mood for helping with domoth/revolt/flare. No, if I don't reply that doesn't instantly mean I'm ignoring you (I have kids, I have to randomly afk a lot), but it has happened.

This is because Glomdoring is bad at diplomacy, not because Serenwilde is somehow super forgiving.

Half the time, the food Subotai designs is based on good I see or read about irl.

Probably never happen...but that would be so fun and exciting and different and I wouldn't be so opposed to Seren warring with Celest. Not because I don't love them but because it would be fun. So basically I'm saying...do this. Heh. Pleeeeease do this?
I actually miss being friends with Hallifax. I'm still not enemied and often toy with the idea of just turning up for a visit, but I suspect it likely wouldn't be as pleasant as I would hope, so I just stay away and dream of another time, when Nymerya and I were free to scout for pretty young trill boys at the matrix and try and persuade them to be our handsome man-servants.
Not sure Seren-Gaudi is ever on the table. Halli-Gaudi would happen first, I think, just due to all the recent clear-cutting/slash-and-burn Gaudi seems to be supporting lately. (and by 'lately', I mean since they came back ._.)
A year ago Gaudi and Seren had a Treaty. What makes it difficult is the lack of diplomacy after combat. Yes, so e trees were chopped....maybe some lords were killed. But there are ways to RP out of anything and honestly. An alliance or a treaty doesn't mean you agree with their philosophies. I'd kill (probably die trying to kill) anyone i caught influencing/killing fae.
I actually think it is more ooc shit that prevents half of these alliances from occurring and to that I say.

Visit Portius. He likes Magnagora. That'd be his dirty secret, except it's not really secret at all.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

Non-enemies should be free to visit! Eyebrows may be raised, but nobody should chase you out if you're behaving.
