Dear administrators who deal with library things, whichever ones you are,
This is a rave/thank you note for commenting on the prestige submissions this round. I can only speak for myself, of course, but I really like seeing them. I don't know why, but the rounds that have comments just seem so much more competitive and interesting than the ones that don't. The only other thing I could hope for is having the scoring rubric (I'm making educated guesses/assumptions about how the scoring is done) with the scores for each book attached to LIBRARY INFO after judging.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

Everyone has their own rubric, that's the beauty and the curse. Some are elaborate, some simple. Some roll a d100 (jk... or am I?!). Keep a hawk eye on the comments, they offer valuable suggestions.
I'm always super excited when I manage to script something extremely crude and basic but functional. In this case, I made a script, an alias, and a trigger, the combined effect of which is to keep me connected through nine timeout ticks, then kick me on the tenth, so I can have a short timeout (so I don't die horribly when I disconnect) but not feel like I'm getting kicked constantly whenever I get distracted or write things.

Huh. If this is a question you're allowed to answer, do all of you put out ratings for prestige submissions, or is it just some of you?
It varies cycle by cycle, depending on who has the time to read through all the submissions. There is a core of library enthusiasts, however, who you can expect to always be at the ready, rubric sheets in hand, eyes aglow with criticsm zeal.
@Anita totally made my day yesterday by doing a huge order for the guild shop. And then she was even more awesome and got me a pair of lips. Demi here I come
You have received a new honour! Congratulations! On this day, you have shown your willingness to ensure a bug-free Lusternia for everyone to enjoy. The face of Iosai the Anomaly unfolds before you, and within you grows the knowledge that you have earned the elusive and rare honour of membership in Her Order.

So many huge raves to the admin and particularly @Ieptix for looking into the honour loss from the resignation and deciding to overturn it. From feeling sick at the months and months of work I had inadvertently lost the family to being overjoyed at the decision. Thankyou thankyou thankyou thaaaaaaankyouuuuuuu.

Lucky for you!! Lavy had to get a lot of honour ticks otherwise!!

Rave for whichever Divine brought Veritus in to Vetala's Progression of Blood, that was delightful! As were those extra ambient messages that went along with each step. Thank You (whoever You are!)
Rave for @Mysrai and her awesomeness! I am literally dancing in my chair with joy right now. My pug is looking at me like I'm bloody insane as a result.
Ok. So I've never done an org supermob raid before, never been on one. I've been there to be hit by one, and defended one against Gaudi and totally missed the last Avatar raid against Serenwilde.
Tonight was my first, and I'm amazed considering I had zero clue about the spheres (I only thought there were 6, true story) I'm amazed how well that went. Huge thank you for everyone who had faith in me to follow and execute it so well... sorry for letting you all down by failing on Avatar target calls
Respect to the people who came and defended, that was fun.
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
If you delight in PVP and enjoy that as your primary function in Lusternia, at some point you'll have to come to realise that you can't win them all. It's picking yourself back up that defines you as someone worth following into battle.
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.
As an aside, the smob raids are really kind of all-or-nothing affairs. If you can take one down, you can take them all down, and that does usually happen. The only times it doesn't is when the raiders decide they are satisfied/have to QQ or some crucial skill for the defensive team suddenly makes an appearance and there's no one to counter it (ie, pits, war shrines, etc).
On a happier note, I could have SWORN the Spheres lost all their facets when they died, instead of 10% or so. It's like a mildly terrible Christmas gift. I didn't actually want underwear, but it's nice to have!

It could be worse. When they first showed up, we were told that they had to be kept under a certain number, or else they had a chance of exploding.

I had heard that about fleshpots myself... never seen it happen.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
I just want to drop a quick rave to all the new and old faces in Serenwilde that have made being back far more fun and far less terrifying than I was expecting.
Also rituals! All the rituals!
And, of course @Lisaera although I was half paralyzed with excitement and less articulate than I might have liked.

You never miss a chance to devolve anything into a lewd hot mess.

If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
