The Old Message Nostalgia Thread

SylandraSylandra Join Queue for Mafia GamesThe Last Mafia Game
Checking messages out of nostalgia as the purge approaches and a few of note popped up. So I figured, if we're losing our messages and have saved old sentimental nonsense, we might as well post it for everyone else to enjoy, right? Share your fave/silliest/most nostalgic messages from yesteryear! (MSGS CONVERSATION <person> is your friend.)

I took a proper trip down memory lane myself. In no particular order:

Nihmriel sent at 02/05 17:26:
   I believe we must discuss a certain letter to Ileein, authored by a mysterious 'Ministry of 
Marital Affairs'. I do believe that was taking the matter several steps too far.

Irillia sent at 01/17 04:58:
   Thank you so much for the kind offer of Beauty Seal slots! I -have- managed to submit an artisan 
design to the city's cartel that I hope will be selected, but I would love to try and create 
something for jewelry or tailoring if I can. I hope you both have already submitted something, at 
least, so I wouldn't be taking up slots you might like to use!
[And then she won! Woo 2011 Beauty Seal.]

Nihmriel sent at 10/01 19:43:
   Congratulations on winning the theatre award. With that and the scholarly prestige award, we are 
cultural centre for the first time! I wonder if the city might like to hear the happy news from the 
new Mayor and prestige-winning playwright?

Llesvelt sent at 09/23 16:54:
   Your play fills me with inappropriate anger and grief. Very well written, Minister.
[This may be one of five Llesvelt compliments I've ever received ever.]

Casilu sent at 08/06 07:44:
   You need to get married... or else.
You sent at 08/06 20:32:
   I am a mother. My scrolls are my babies. I am married to my work.
Casilu sent at 08/06 23:37:
   Well, your work better make some Skyplumes or else.

Leta sent at 01/28 02:09:
   Congratulations on your marriage, dear sister. I wish I was able to attend, but I'm quite certain 
that it was a lovely celebration. May good fortune follow you.

Mirai sent at 08/20 03:19:

Narynth sent at 06/10 06:59:
   ..Did you mail me a letter and something about a book? Ps. Thanks for the ice cream. A fat Regent 
is a happy Regent.
[I... have no recollection of this whatsoever.]

managed to say it in red: Solanis is town, he is not a member of the witch faction, he wins only 
with the town win condition.

   Aw. I am sorry to see you go, Governor. I only hope that we can find someone who executes the 
office with as much grace and efficiency as you.
[Baby's first PVP buddy.]

Eliron sent at 01/30 05:18:
   It does have a deviousness I can see would cause problems, though a part of me does applaud the 
ruthlessness. So then. Sunset beryl, perhaps? How do you feel about intricate knotwork?
[Context removed.]

Arel sent at 09/30 23:09:
   When we next meet and if you have time, we can speak. I look forward to it. Also, 
congratulations!!!
[BUT WE CANNOT BECAUSE YOU RETIRED </3]

Elostian sent at 09/17 11:01:
   We shall speak when next I notice your presence.
[This was about patron stuff but still. RIP Elopants. :(]

Rika sent at 09/30 06:48:
   Hi. I sure hope Arte's repeated aggressive actions on the Serenwilde are approved. I would sure 
hate for him to be demoted if they are unauthorized, under caste article IV section II.
[Sry Arte, this sassy message cracked me up. Also, RIP Rika. :(:(]

Your turn! Spill your juicy message secrets.

    I have some potentially embarrassing messages still. Will refrain from sharing them if I am suitably bribed ;)


    This one cracked me up. I don't even remember what my raging post was about to the council, but this was his response, back when we loathed each other. Miss the guy!:

    So, Daevos slipped Revan back into the City without an ounce of consideration given to our Incitizen protocol, let alone consideration given to the fact the entire Council voted him out previously. I removed him once more, there was much tantrum throwing by Daevos, and the Archmage has suggested we meet to discuss the matter. Daevos suggested the 8th of this month, so hopefully you will be awake then. Enjoy

    Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."

    The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable.
    Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.

    Greetings old nephew Archmage Shaddus. Winnae is interested in a change of professions and pace and is interested in learning how to be a TK mage. Also Winnae can probably contribute more in raids by helping with tainting and demesnes. Also Winnae did well in a recent election but did not win and wants to prove to himself and others that he is smart by becoming a Mage. As such Winnae is wondering if you will allow him to join the Geomancers for these reasons?

    You sent the following message to Lavinya: So, since you're being so slow on working on making your amends, I've decided to allow you to repay your debt to Magnagora by means of a single power gem, plus the corpses of the Supernal. Somewhere in the range of 10 - 20.



    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.

    This is looking much like a power struggle to me-- the two of them have an issue with each other, and want the Commune to settle the matter for them. It's somewhat disappointing. Perhaps we should just lock them in a room with each other for a year or two until they learn to live with one another.

       We'vek illed the Supernals as well as the Spheres. It is obvious Celest and Serenwilde can't protect your city. There is a simple choice for alliance if you never want to have to worry about the death of everything you care about again.

    And...that's all I've got.
