I've spent the last six months in a college course for counselling psychology that discusses bias daily. I have written more twelve-page essays on bias than you probably have used the word in your daily life.
The act of agreement and disagreement is pure bias. I'm not superimposing a unilateral perspective on him. If you're offended by how I communicate that is also your own bias. Throughout the conversation I have stat…
I completely agree with Isune's post and most of what I've said supports her angle. What I find jarring is the playerbase pushing the idea that volunteers aren't paid, therefore they can act however they please so lo…

My opinion doesn't require you to agree with it.
I am not talking about winning in the context of mortals vs Divine, I am talking about the attitude of 'winning' altogether. Why? Because that attitude is …
When I mentioned a player should not addle a volunteer, I mean literally that it should be quite impossible. If you cannot handle criticism or the nuances of being in authority, then do not take that position. Plain…
This is very true, but I would take that analogy a step further. A hornets nest leaves stings that eventually heal. There have been circumstances of Divine who mammoth-stomped the faces of players in…
This is good to know, and something I hadn't considered. I suppose the gulf in power makes it seem like an Elder doesn't need to break a sweat, so most people would assume it's not so much a tug-of-war as it is a han…
Sure it's tenable. You're right that the power dynamic is mechanical, but I'm speaking from a more existential point of view. Mortals are no less part of Yudhe or divine than well...the Divine. That's all Yudhe eve…
Precisely. And to expand on Karlach's thoughts, it is not so much about 'winning' that battle, but watching it unfold as an epic story within the game's world. I can speak from personal experience here when I …
Then becoming an Aspect and reviving Sebitti, because dream powers. She was sacrificed prior to the opening of Her Godrealm, when Viynain was made avatar. Unfortunately, a don't have the other logs anymore, but these were the most meaty of the…
That time Mys let me create a Paradigm. Indigo was sublimated in the process, so that pissed off a few people. Thus, the beginning of Pesukaru x Tetra beef started.
I don't understand this thread. Don't you have Drocilla now? And it's not as if you can petition for a Divine to return to the game. It requires a volunteer to be vetted, then to select that role. If someone is already playing that role, perhaps…
I started playing Lusternia when I was 14 years old. That's coming up almost 9 years now. Most of my characters have been predominantly Magnagoran/Glomdoring. I came up under the likes of Shayle, Nariah, and S…
If you read my first post, I'm praising Shikha specifically, because she decided to do something I approved of. You decided to add your own two cents, which is fine, and you asked me to tell you how I felt about your choices in-game. Nobody made i…
It's one thing to be free and do whatever you want, because Lavinya is a grown woman, etc. It's another to act far removed from the consequences of what you do. Having your own freedom isn't like sa…
It's true that it can be entirely pointless out of the game. But sometimes, talking about it can bring about new insight or make us ask questions like "Why did I cho…
