  • Disagree on commodities as a cost for skills. It hurts newbies, but is just a drop in the ocean to oldies.
  • Endurance/Will getting chopped won't really simplify things for newbies, I doubt draining it is an issue that comes up much for them.

    That said I'm all for dropping it, it's a bit annoying to non-newbies. Any mechanic that makes…
  • I would say start newbies at adept in their primary skill (take away that many of lessons from the starting pool), that way pretty much no matter what guild they pick a newbie has the skills to actually start bashing Newton or whatever with just the…

    I applied to well, well over a hundred places before I started hearing much of anything (I applied to like 40 positions in one company). It just takes applying to literally everything you can think of, while doi…
  • I found it just fine to be in combat and involved in everything that was going on ICly and I'm not in any OOC clans, - unless you count a guild clan that's there for trigger/mechanic help, but that isn't used for just bullshitting or the like. I can…
  • It's not like anybody expects public posts to ever accomplish anything besides maybe some RP. It's more interesting than nothing even if it's blindingly obvious to everybody it will have no effect on IG politics.
  • (Quote) It left with you more or less.
  • Cacophony and Nihilists huh?

    The first thing that came to mind was nihilists leading young musicians to the crossroads in Nil to sell their soul to Luciphage in exchange for learning how to play the blues like a boss.
  • I haven't been getting gnomes, but just now from Ironbeard:

    You quickly unwrap a silver solstice present, which sprays glittering silver dust and cheerful confetti into the air, and excitedly pull an aetheric keystone from …
  • (Quote) She reads the forums here too!? Sheesh what can't she do.
  • I rather like the simplicity of - if I want a doll I can just buy it fairly cheap myself.

    Having to go deal with curios to get dolls means I likely wouldn't bother.
  • I hope if there's a sentinel-institute covenant that we see the sentinels try to roleplay up the internal security aspect of it. Taking on the role of Internal affairs/thought police/watchdog over the institute from the inside.

    Something many companies won't tell you is the way applying for jobs online works.  They have word matching they use against your resume. Unless you match 90%+ of the key words they put in, there's a good chance…
  • (Quote) I am sure he said in his best growly afterwards voice: I didn't ask for this.

    After searching entirely too long I got something. Then after accepting got several offers to things I've applied for half a year ago. It's like uhh thanks would have been nice to have heard something a little…
  • (Quote) It sounds good in theory, but really no. Artifacts should belong to people not be sharable between an entire org.

    Edit: Or did you mean something else by your idea?
  • Also, this may seem somewhat obvious, but if you aren't getting hit or are otherwise slowing them down - you're reducing the wounding. So things like proper use of stance/parry (from the combat skill) or rebounding which can slow them down (if they …
  • Okay by his is probably not the best idea and not likely to go ahead even if other people did like it but just throwing it out there. What if some skill combinations within a guild were disallowed. I don't really know enough about the balance to sa…

    Can't wait to see when she betrays Shikari when he's injured. And throws him out the arethership.
  • Keeping on the topic of how covenants are supposed to help, something to ask yourself is if the goal is for two struggling guilds to form a covenant - or if it should be that one larger guild forms one with another smaller one to help out the smalle…
  • By the way, shouldn't the spelling be aquakinematics?
  • (Quote) The leaders make the covenant, but an individual in a guild should have that choice if they find the other guild's chatter to be annoying.

    Edit: Or as Eritheyl suggested, separate channel could work.
  • If there were to go in, I would really want a command to turn off the other guild's channel. If guildA is bonded with guildB and a player in guildA really doesn't want to hear guildB's channel, but keep guildA's on, they should be able to do that.
  • (Quote) Heh, just hang in there. A lot of people don't do so hot their first semester as they adjust to college. Also quite a few departments purposely make their intro classes difficult to weed people out.
  • When people talk about automating advancement, do they mean for guild ranks or guild novices?

    If the concern is for guild novices, then what about allowing collegium professors (including those not in that particular guild) to a…
  • A rare and ever elusive Serenguard broment!

    Maybe I'll join in next time, but not this one. Good to see Everiine lurking about still though.
  • Horribly off-topic, but I feel the name of this thread should have after one of my favorite movies, "Events! The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"

    More on topic, its great to see a ton of events going on, even though I wasn't really …
  • Bad? Nah, it's pretty funny and awesome really.
