Here's a fun question for @Everyone: You're RPing with someone, and everything's going along fine, until suddenly your mind goes blank! The interaction is threatened with awkward silence - what do you do?
This is every conversation I have ever had after saying hello. Tristanna tries to take people hunting. Blushes. Finds someone to hide behind, or some reason to nag. Possible variations may include hyperventilating or throwing up. Unless she's in Lisaera's temple or talking about Her.

Same thing I do in real life.

'Old doddering cat-lady' filler RP checking in here too.
@arix Well you did stand there as my system auto played it every like 12 seconds to maintain my stanza while I was afk. So I really am sorry that it is so burned into your brain!
What's your most embarrassing Lusternia moment (that you're willing to admit to on forums)?
I don't even know where to start. Walking into Avatars used to be embarrassing but you do it enough and you get used to it.
It's probably a tie between...
@Silvanus crucifying me in Faethorn when he was a Nihilist, and I died on the cross to the timed insta venom (I forget the name). He laughed his ass off.
or
Marcella shouting mad trash about dueling anyone, so I accepted and I was not prepared for post overhaul warriors. She wiped the floor with me just spamming hack down. In my defense, parry literally did not work for crap when they changed racial stats, but it was embarassing none-the-less. I was the much vaunted OP SD champ with shuck unkillable healer crutch. So many side eyes that do. So many.

Everyone: What is your biggest pet peeve in Lusternia?
How seriously people take their e-honor! It's one thing to do that ICly, totally fine, but it's disappointing when it bleeds into OOC opinions of people. I mean, I think we're all guilty of that at some point, but it's still meh. My enjoyment of the game got much better once I realized people in other orgs weren't out to get me. You can disagree with what some people choose to do in-game, but as long as OOCly they're not being jerks (which is very different than ICly!), more often than not they're decent people.
Basically, sometimes I just think we all collectively need to chill out a bit more.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
My pet peeve is how personal people get based on things they see on the internet. I never took the game or forums that seriously, and aside from a handful of other players, you really just have a very narrow insight the rest. I've always said I might not like you, but I don't really know you. It's just a game, and forums arguments, and whatever. It's all just really superficial stuff, even the bitchiest bitch in a forums fight...it's just noise at the end of the day. None of it is important. There's just a line between not liking a person based on what you've seen of them, which is normal and fine, and making assumptions about their lives, their friendships, their jobs, whatever. The latter bothers me.

Yeah, entitlement is a problem at almost every level. Like, I get it, you put in a lot of time and/or money into the game, but so did a lot of other people. When you earn something, be grateful, and when you don't get your way, be gracious. I feel like most of the time the players and admin are good about credit and praise and accolades going where they are due, but sometimes it's like watching a playground melee.

Newbies who incline their heads to me.
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.

@anyone What isn't in Lusternia that you'd like to see? Can be lore, skills, whatever...
My own answer would be Ghalphalshi Swamps + hippos.
I know this goes against everything Estarra asks of her admin/ephs, but I would love to see areas that exist just because. There doesn't need to be some story attached to it or some hidden mystery. A forest can just be a forest without being some secret meeting place for a cult of doom.
Wolf druids who get coven like Packs and Pack powers, while their associated Wiccans are solitary and don't get covens, but form pacts with their spirit (Rock, or Tree, or something, IDK) and become more fae like.

If someone is using incline as the basic respectful emote no matter what org they're in...I tend to assume they have played some time in Hallifax. >_>
Whereas Ev uses it to greet people he doesn't particularly like but can't be rude to.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

I wish I had made Celina a bit more approachable. I feel like I missed out on a lot of RP opportunities because I made her such an enormous bitch.

Show some humility until you've earned otherwise, please.
Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight

My escape from awkward silence is to say very formally 'do excuse me' then run away and hide.

Ranger class, and Marne.
