Wrapped in a sheaf of parchment paper, a crumbling cookie of wasps and fire ants has been left here.
Examined:
Sifted flour, eggs, sugar, chocolate chips, and butter fresh from the creamery were quickly combined to beget the rich batter for this cookie. Striped yellow wasps and red fire ants, complete with stingers, were then gently folded into the mixture and poured upon a baking sheet; various broken thoraxes and abdomens protrude from the cookie's surface despite any care taken during the attempt. Baked until golden and crackly with insect remains, this cookie is faintly aromatic, the sweet smells of sugar and chocolate overcasting any other scent. This confection has been wrapped in a sheaf of parchment paper, its edges lined with the silvered contours of Ravenwood leaves.
Consume:
Carefully folding back the edge of the parchment paper wrapping, you take a large bite out of a crumbly cookie, crunching down on crackly wasp remains and gooey pockets of dark chocolate. The peppery sting from the fire ants enhances the luscious flavour of the chocolate, deepening its complexity. You savour the varied texture and tastes of the dessert: the crunch of the wasps, the dark semi-sweetness of the chocolate, and the fiery notes of the ant venom. Finishing the cookie, you discard the parchment wrapping, a faint tingling sensation lingering on your palate.
Smell:
The faint aromas of sugar and chocolate reach your senses, sweetly enticing.
Taste:
From a brief nibble, you discern the taste of chocolate and a hint of spiciness mingling upon your tongue.
Oh, I forgot chocolate doesn't exist. Uh, substitute kafe.
I've actually had mealworm cookies before, but the mealworm was blended into the dough, so there were no wormy bits in the cookie. Tasted really salty though.
Your skill in Resilience has risen to Transcendent.
Yay! Now I don't know what I want to do. Namely, because I've been thinking about becoming a warrior lately. I'm trying my darnedest to get that notion out of my head, though!
Sheesh, everything seems so different now. Even the forums are all off.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

A. I'm not Tinkerbell, you can't just wish me back to the game like that.
B. Tinkerbell does take a lot more people to wish back. I think it was the whole audience?
C. I stopped playing at the end there because I found myself lacking purpose in what I did. Until I can find one, there is no point in me coming back. If the day comes where I have a direction to play in, I will gladly come back (plot villain? I think I'd be awesome). Until then, no point to.
Edit: Fix C and I'll be back. :P
If I'm on topic, something has gone horribly wrong.

CASILU! Come to Glom.

That fixes nothing! And I'm surprised how much support Shaddus is getting for his Tinkerbell revival.

A few folks seem to think way, way more of me than I do. Some of these requests seem to me like they're coming out of deep left field, and more than I'm actually capable of. >.<
Not sure if I should feel flattered or just baffled, nor if that means I shouldn't try.
Mayor Steingrim, the Grand Schema says to you, "Well, as I recall you kinda leave a mark whereever you go."

What... new auctions every week? What?! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
I have to admit I had the same "wtf" thought... Will be interesting to see how the prices will play out though; will people save them for the last auction, or spend them on the first?
Hopefully many will be gold auctions though! I'd love to see some gold getting cleared.
I'm really bad at using EMSHOW. I always end up doing EM instead, which results in silly things like 'You have emoted: Caerulo furiousnod', which is the exact opposite of why I wanted to check EMSHOW in the first place. (
Since bringing Wuy out of retirement (the alt thing didn't work out) I've noticed that there isn't a lot of raiding anymore. I never thought I'd feel this way but... I kind of... miss it
I like to think Halli raids Gaudi fairly often when they have defenders... It's normally later in the night though when it's more along the 2v5-4v8 range.

What the HECK... how the heck did it get THAT from the video clip...
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Come back to life, Casilu!

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
