This is late but raves to @Aramel . Besides being the best auntie, you make group combat a lot easier! It's something I'm trying to work hard on and your calls, directions, and general help are so nice.

Yikes. That was one hell of a quest. The logic puzzle was probably one of the most difficult I've ever done in a lusternian quest. Malacoda got nothing on that one. But it was a fun ride and I can most definitely recommend!

Really? I think Malacoda clues are bad and just confusing with how it is worded. Things like 'The orc is in the library' sure, makes sense. 'the orc doesn't like the pendant in the kitchens or the guardhouse' is just confusing. the orc isn't in any of those, so why does he care about the pendant? I could understand if this was tell me where the pendant was, but likely I'm told by another clue who wants the pendant, making the clue more of 'why does this matter'.

I was merely comparing the difficulty of both puzzles with each other, as it's the only one am aware that uses a similar puzzle that regularly stumps people. In malacoda you get clues that describe memories of what people possessed and where they were seen at the time of the catastrophe (that's how I interpret it, anyway). In the meliashmora, you get a bunch of retainers tell you what they think that the guests should wear. The puzzle is the same, you get incomplete information and need to piece together whats happening. The meliashmora one needs you to read what is not said as much as what is said a lot more and needs you to deduct more things by ruling out what is already taken. I had an entire page full of logical tables by the end of it, that showed how items and people and costumes and masks connected. Never had to do that to that extend to malacoda and never needed that long for malacoda. Neither did malacoda have that complex clues, hence why I said that the melishamora one is a lot more challenging in terms of logic puzzles. hope that clears my statement up some

I guess I just got lucky then when I did it. Retainers gave me clues that filled in every blank on the table minus two spots - there wasn't much reasoning or guessing going on besides that one coin flip.
The personalized time scar visions and the event in general was really well written! I can't imagine preparing an event expecting negative feedback and comments about it, but the admins managed to do it and make it look super neat. Kudos to whoever wrote it!
You are startled as a lemon meringue pie bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Mysrai.
I don't know if I'm back, but it was nice to see Ixion finally ascend. I don't know if he remembers but we talked in character a LONG time ago about him ascending and how he would be.

100% agree. Our Lusternia Admin are some of the best writers I've had the pleasure to see in action (and in logs after... we are #blessed)
‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’
It was nice to roleplay with Evette and Synl, however briefly, and to hear from a couple other old friends. I have so many fond memories of my interactions with these lovely people, that if there is one reason to log in again, it's to pass the time with them.
Also, I am glad to see Ixion ascend. I have no reason to root for him ICly, but I know how much he has contributed to Magnagora and how dedicated he is to this game. He's deserved this for many years now.
And finally, I learned we can use quotation marks within EMOTE (BLAH) now! I am so shocked and pleased!
Theory: If I wasn't around to touch my scar, then someone would have had to put peep chili stew in it. Can't be convinced otherwise at this point.
From the main discord:
‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’
Big raves to Orael and Aonia and all of the Divine who worked to make this event special for Magnagora and for Ixion -- given that we had worked so hard and been thwarted by something so unpleasant as the lag-attack, this was really touching. I'm glad I got to participate in this, and see all of the fun ways they imagined the other Sealbearers as True Ascendants in other realities.
Also big love to everyone who can put OOC and IC differences aside to be good sports when it comes to stuff like this. You guys make me proud to be part of the community.
Always missing the good stuff, alas, however i am thrilled to pieces knowing my swan still plagues @Uzriel in alternate timelines. Such an awesome touch.
Her voice firm and commanding, Terentia, the Even Bladed says to you, "You have kept your oath to Me, Parhelion. You have sworn to maintain Justice in these troubled times."
Yet if a boon be granted me, unworthy as I am, let it be for a steady hand with a clear eye and a fury most inflaming.
Belated rave to @Drocilla for rp squeezed in before ascension, and the growing activity in the order.
All the family activity that's been growing from old faces showing back up, and new ones being brought in, looking at you @Sapphira, @Vella, @Silvanus, and Zau.
And lastly 's for the visions. Which pretty well captured an ultimate power Uzriel and I'm sure won't go to his head or inspire future plans.
Now that all of the Ascension insanity is over with, I'm looking forward to focusing more on roleplay without all the constant competitions around the corner.
Shoutout to @Lief for putting on a master class in roleplay while simultaneously teaching a theology course.
Oh my gosh, but you were phenomenal as well! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to let Lief ramble about her most favorite topic, being patient while I was writing emotes and everything!
I love how you portrayed Zitto's understanding unfolding, too, and you've got a great voice for him. A+

I'm excited. As I went through the Order quest over time, I saved all the visions to a document so I could refer back to them. It's been over eight months since I viewed the last of them, and one of them has been missing from my records all this time. And all it took to get this one again was doing the quest 54 times!
I kid, I kid. I'm actually really happy to have the full set saved. It's been driving me insane. I'd be doing the quest anyway for other reasons.

Little bit belated but it was lots of fun seeing the new post office and news room reveal in Magnagora. We have some hilarious NPCs. Pretty sure there is a log coming, but raaaaave for shiny things and fun npcs!
Raves for @Xenthos for helping instigate this little player-driven event, and raves for @Tridemon and @Evette with all their involvement and then @Olethea and @Esei joining the end... AND THE GODMIN PRESENT... #Blessed.

But Coraline showed me the alternate timelines and they're awesome. Raves for the writers!
