You give Astraea the once-over, eyeing her suspiciously.
Astraea clears her throat at you.
With your mighty index finger extended, you poke Astraea.
Tacita smiles softly.
Softly, you say, "You're...real."
You grab protectively at Astraea.
You bow respectfully to Astraea.
You say to Astraea, "Good waking."
With a smile more fond than bemused, Cimmerian Astraea Nightshade says, "Quite."
You say to Astraea, "Welcome back, welcome back."
Cimmerian Astraea Nightshade smiles impishly and says, "My thanks."

Synkarin made me laugh. I shall now go to work thinking about that post. =]

You cover your mouth to stifle a belch, and find yourself rewarded with a Czigany coin.
woot
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.
The Divine voice of (Raezon, the Forbidden) echoes in your head, "I will be happy to defend Magnagora's legal rights to the city should you win by proxy."
When entertaining rp comes from a misplaced post. I love how everyone is actually having some fun with this. (Now someone run and make joining Magnagora your main policy).
Maybe I'm just a cynic, and not to knock Synkarin's post, which is a fairly well-written version of the phenomenon, but it seems to me like "lol your city sucks, just surrender to us because we're better" posts aren't really anything new. They've been written about cities that weren't doing well at PK by players in cities that were since forever; in fact, they're sort of the default. And the pattern's always the same. One person writes a pretty entertaining one, then literally everyone else piles on with substantially-worse ones, and they stop being funny.

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.
...what? When's the last time someone wrote a "you suck," public post? It's been ages.
The cornerstone of any public office is care and upkeep of all public places, and I would hate to see such an important aspect go unnoticed, drowned out by such issues as a lack of villages. Or a lack of aetherbubbles. Or a lack of general influence. Public post 1635
Nobody likes being told to stop being dickish, because being dickish is fun.
But really, bandwagoning about how dead Celest is is bound to cheer them right up, yes sir.
That's not even a rave, you cheater. But I mean, let's be honest. All orgs go dead from time to time, it happens, it's okay. Rampant killing and slaying of important mobs to the point of excess I find to border on being dickish. I find heckling to be just top notch. Who doesn't like a good heckle?
Remember the trees, please.
Also, my rave is the fact that the Glom I came back to is much more interesting than I expected. How much fun and how much excitement I'm going to have! I actually have new people to meet, and I think that's pretty awesome.
You poke fun OOCly, you're a jerk. You poke fun in an IC forum using IC facts, still a jerk.
When can you rightfully make fun of your enemies then.
P.S. I think a lot of the posting is just people taking advantage of the fact that no one posts to public. Ever. So even misposts are pounced upon with much fervor.

Meh, they are mainly having a bit of fun at Tetras expense rather than making deliberate jabs at Celest. Kagato is a Celestian and I have been getting a good laugh out of some of the posts that came about as response to the mispost.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.

I am indescribably happy with the results of 'Letters of Love.' Thank you so much, @Daraius, @Irillia, and last but not least, @Turnus, for your amazing performances. It wouldn't be what it is without you. Daraius's soliloquy at the end was perfect, and Irillia makes such a wonderfully awful villain. And Turnus... We'll work on it. It's okay. (Just kidding, he was wonderful too!)

Finally got my own cult altar ikon. Was sick of getting Ixion's, hmph.
