Rophs

11/10/14 [log The Oak:] [10/11/14 22:09] :Krioni lands quietly [10/11/14 22:58] :Rophs stands up from under Awi and trods over to the Oak [10/11/14 22:59] Rophs:Let's begin. *nods to Kri and Val* [10/11/14 23:00] :Krioni smiles [10/11/14 23:00] :Rophs sits down next to the Oak [10/11/14 23:00] :Valoryn nods slowly [10/11/14 23:01] Rophs:What kind of story should we weave today? [10/11/14 23:02] Krioni: *tilts his head* Hmmm [10/11/14 23:06] Krioni: *tries to think* Can we tell any one? [10/11/14 23:06] Rophs:Maybe a story of Retribution. [10/11/14 23:09] Rophs:Val can you start us off [10/11/14 23:09] Krioni: *nods* Are we able to come up with any story?> [10/11/14 23:10] Valoryn:If you want to fall asleep... [10/11/14 23:10] Rophs:Just the first sentence, Kri and I will keep the momentum [10/11/14 23:11] Rophs: *nods* We will ad-lib a story for the Oak [10/11/14 23:11] Krioni: *nods quietly* Alright [10/11/14 23:12] Valoryn: *rubs his chin* Let me think... [10/11/14 23:14] Valoryn:There is a short story about a young shepherd and wolves that comes to mind. [10/11/14 23:16] Rophs: *nods* I know that story. [10/11/14 23:16] Rophs:Tel the Oak that story. [10/11/14 23:17] :Krioni listens quietly [10/11/14 23:18] Valoryn: *nods and takes a seat by the Oak* Once upon a time, there was a boy shepherd who would take his sheep out in the fields to graze every day. [10/11/14 23:18] Valoryn:One day, he was very bored because he had nothing to do but watch his sheep. [10/11/14 23:19] Valoryn:He desperately wanted to do something to amuse himself. [10/11/14 23:19] Valoryn:But there was nothing he could find. [10/11/14 23:20] Valoryn:Then an idea came to his mind. And he began to shout "Wolves! Wolves!" off the top of his lungs, hoping for a reaction. [10/11/14 23:21] Valoryn:And the villagers heard his cries and ran to his aid, thinking that wolves were attacking his herd. [10/11/14 23:22] Valoryn:But they found him sitting on a rock and his sheep harmless grazing on the grass. [10/11/14 23:22] Valoryn:The boy shepherd was so amused by the look on the villagers' faces that he began to laugh. [10/11/14 23:23] Valoryn:The villagers, frustrated by the joke the boy played on them, left and returned to their own businesses. [10/11/14 23:24] Valoryn:The next day, the boy made exactly the same joke. [10/11/14 23:24] Valoryn:He shouted "Wolves! Wolves!". And the villagers came once again to his aid, only to be frustrated once again by the boy's joke. [10/11/14 23:25] Valoryn:But the day came when wolves attacked the boy's sheep. [10/11/14 23:25] Valoryn:And the boy shouted "Wolves! Wolves!" in hopes that somebody would come to help him. [10/11/14 23:26] Valoryn:But the villagers thought it was the same joke the boy had played on them. And none came to his aid. [10/11/14 23:26] Valoryn:And the wolves ate the boy's sheep one after the other. [10/11/14 23:27] Valoryn:And when they were done, the boy's own turn came to be eaten. [10/11/14 23:30] Valoryn:That would be all. *nods* [10/11/14 23:30] :Krioni nods [10/11/14 23:33] Rophs: *nods* On to the Maple. [10/11/14 23:34] :[Spell] don't listen to the whisper of the tainted seeds [/log] [log The Maple:] [10/11/14 23:36] Rophs: *pulls a stool over to the Maple* Some interesting stuff has happened recently, but I think Valoryn would be a better person to explain it. [10/11/14 23:36] :Rophs nods to Val [10/11/14 23:37] Valoryn:Oh, you mean the loss and return of our badges... [10/11/14 23:37] :Krioni walks up [10/11/14 23:39] Rophs:Indeed. [10/11/14 23:40] Valoryn:Well, I don't know how interesting it will be to you, but this is my version of the story... [10/11/14 23:42] Valoryn:I tend to spend a lot of hours meditating and so I did the day it all began. [10/11/14 23:43] Valoryn:Once I was done for the day, I stood and dusted my robes off. [10/11/14 23:43] Valoryn:At that moment, I noticed that my badge was missing. [10/11/14 23:43] Valoryn:Certain that I had merely misplaced it, I began to search all over Wasp's Totem for it. [10/11/14 23:44] Valoryn:Until a paper plane landed on my face. [10/11/14 23:45] Valoryn:The writer of the note was asking me what had happened to the Guardians and why we had all lost our badges. [10/11/14 23:45] :Krioni stays quiet [10/11/14 23:46] Valoryn:I quickly scribbled a reply that once I would be done searching for my own badge, I would help the others find theirs. And I sent the paper plane off. [10/11/14 23:47] Valoryn:Only to be hit by another plane stating clearly that I was an old fool and that the alliance had been taken from us and disbanded. [10/11/14 23:48] Valoryn:Then, to keep things short, the process of collecting evidence on how it all happened began. [10/11/14 23:49] Valoryn:And, although nobody wanted to believe it, every piece of said evidence was pointing to the same thing: there was help from the inside. [10/11/14 23:49] :Rophs passed Wiiya Bubble to Valoryn [10/11/14 23:50] Valoryn:And that help was none other than the former loyalty leader and Consul of Loreroot, as he openly admited himself some time later. [10/11/14 23:51] Valoryn:I will be a liar if I say we dealt with the matter with outmost indifference. [10/11/14 23:52] Valoryn:I tried to be the indifferent one and guide the others to the same path, so that we can at least rebuild without frustration, disappointment or anger. [10/11/14 23:53] Valoryn:Then the idea came to have a training event outside our Defensive Quarters on invite. [10/11/14 23:54] Valoryn:The day of the event however, most people I met at the Quarters were already asleep. [10/11/14 23:54] Valoryn:Except Kyphis and Ailith. [10/11/14 23:55] Valoryn:And while I was in the process of enjoying my morning cup of tea, Kyphis became so obsessed about my "Chronicles" book for reasons I still can't understand. [10/11/14 23:55] Valoryn:He assaulted me and we began to wrestle inside the quarters. [10/11/14 23:56] Valoryn:That kept going for a while, until we both grew tired. [10/11/14 23:57] Valoryn:The training event may never have taken place, but I suppose the wrestling was impressive enough to give us our badges back that day. [10/11/14 23:58] Valoryn:How true this story is however... *shrugs and smiles meaningfully* ...who knows? [11/11/14 00:03] :Krioni chuckles a little bit [11/11/14 00:03] Rophs:Kri do you have any recent news? [11/11/14 00:04] Krioni: *smiles a little bit* That which is known, was well explained by the leader of the Guardians [11/11/14 00:16] Rophs:Then on to the Willow. [11/11/14 00:16] :[Spell] don't listen to the whisper of the tainted seeds [/log] [log The Willow:] [11/11/14 00:22] Krioni:And so we wait for Rophs *chuckles* [11/11/14 00:23] :Valoryn nods [11/11/14 00:23] Krioni:Well done on the last two, by the way [11/11/14 00:23] Valoryn: *chuckles quietly* I'm in a weird mood lately. [11/11/14 00:24] Krioni: *smiles* You are changing a little, maybe. Not necessarily bad [11/11/14 00:25] Valoryn:I have meditated too much lately. [11/11/14 00:25] Krioni: *nods a little* And I have been asleep too much [11/11/14 00:31] Rophs: *nods* Poetry for the Willow [11/11/14 00:34] Rophs:=-=-= [11/11/14 00:34] Rophs:Valron's badge was missing [11/11/14 00:34] Rophs:Mya was angrily hissing [11/11/14 00:35] Rophs:Sunfire betrayed them [11/11/14 00:35] Rophs:Where was Shem? [11/11/14 00:35] Rophs:With dst and kissing! [11/11/14 00:35] Rophs:=-=-= [11/11/14 00:36] :Krioni cannot hold back a bit of a laugh [11/11/14 00:39] Rophs:Anyone have some light hearted poems?*grins* [11/11/14 00:43] Krioni:Hmmm.. [11/11/14 00:43] Rophs:=-=-= [11/11/14 00:43] Rophs:Making up a poem is simple! [11/11/14 00:43] Rophs:It makes others smile with a dimple [11/11/14 00:44] Rophs:Make fun of something silly [11/11/14 00:44] Rophs:Maybe an old hillbilly? [11/11/14 00:44] Rophs:But don't make fun of my pimple! [11/11/14 00:44] Rophs:=-=-= [11/11/14 00:44] Krioni:Let..me try, though I apologize if I trip over my words. [11/11/14 00:45] :Rophs nods [11/11/14 00:45] Krioni:=.=.= [11/11/14 00:45] Krioni:The wise one asked. "What is the sun?" [11/11/14 00:45] Krioni:The others stared on, feeling dumb [11/11/14 00:46] Krioni:He beckoned. "Don't be perplexed!" [11/11/14 00:46] Krioni:They could only answer with regrets [11/11/14 00:47] Krioni:Until he said: "A ball of gas burning down!" [11/11/14 00:47] Krioni:=.=.= [11/11/14 00:47] Krioni:I know the last line wasn't quite right *rubs the back of his neck* [11/11/14 00:48] Rophs: *shrugs* Try again. [11/11/14 00:48] Krioni: *chuckles* That was all for now, unless something else sparks [11/11/14 00:49] :Rophs nods [11/11/14 00:49] Rophs:On to the Spruce. [11/11/14 00:49] Krioni:Which is where? [11/11/14 00:49] :[Spell] don't listen to the whisper of the tainted seeds[/log]

When you are making a quest you should ask yourself this question multiple times during the creation process: Would I do this quest if someone else made it? If the answer is yes then keep going If the answer is no then figure out why you wouldn't complete it and FIX IT

I'm going to Change to do her year dammit!

Do a bunch of stuff you think is fun. If it's the kind of stuff where others can participate and they have fun too then you're probably going down the "right" path to get this shiny stuff :D. Telling me that the gates are there and expecting my suspension of disbelief to cover it isn't very fun...

Kri and Mya are consuls iirs, no succession needed.

Maybe not 6x, more like 3x or something closer to what tea does

Ally combat timers used to be 45 minutes.

Nimrodel used to be in Loreroot.

1sc on all previously inbid

This screenshot from a long time ago exists.

Come to mp4 so I can kick your butt with my bad rituals :P

A bunch of people got ported to the lighthouse, BUMP BUMP BUMP

2sc on 1 2sc on 2 2sc on 3

Hopefully it will end up being organized via clicky :)

A spell that which when cast upon its target would increase their regen timer by 6x (basically an anti-tea :D) It would stack in the same way as tea, lasting for one regen timer. possible exploits: Would probably work like tea where you can idle for 10 minutes and it will regen as if you are unaffected.

I am grateful for Chewett, he reminds me to sleep. I am grateful for spellcheck, it taught me that it's not spelled greatful. ... I am grateful for Elna. That isn't your name but you know who are are, and yes you will end up reading this Elna.

[log part 2:] Underrated feature helps protect your sanity. Also remember that I'm a person and therefore I am dumb and everything I say is wrong. (Somebody quote this out of context and put it in your signature) go ivorak :D To 'get' the role you want first you need to make us think you already are it. There were two major events that made me realize "whoa, I'm known for Seedwalks now...". A player asked me about Handy Pocket's journey to necro in the AL. I didn't know about it but I wasn't "Seedwalker" yet so I had to PROVE MYSELF. What did I do? I ran around like a headless chicken and found answers. A player asked me if they could do Seedwalks, it meant people thought I was the Seedwalks dude, that other people couldn't do them. I told that player "why not? You know what we do on Seedwalks, go do one." BONUS: One time I idled at Awiiya's way and un-idled to find a Seedwalk. Was AWESOME. Best feeling I've ever gotten from MD. HEY MUR, reply post not directed at me, no comment [/log] Yes, I did just reply to every single post.

[log entire post really log wall of text] oblige everybody please :D which is now why people should now only be given things they only TRULY have, not things mur thinks they might have. they must truly show they have it video ego :)) They say we pass on the title of Chewett (rather ChewIX said so :P). Maybe passing on Mur when a "suitable candidate" comes along wouldn't be the worst idea. Current Mur can play as someone else, and maybe someone else can just be "really good at MD for some reason and get really far in his first year" for some reason right around the time Mur changes... maybe that person will call Mur out on being different and ask Mur if he's the same person :P hehehe Also good luck Fang. Your blindness is your sight, your ignorance is your knowledge. What do I mean? I mean that some people will judge you and treat you poorly but you're doing the right thing of not letting them get under your skin. The inner sun... you have most of the pieces but the ones you have are arranged wrong and might be disproportiantely sized. If you put the pieces of a puzzle together and are missing a few in the middle then the search for the remaining pieces won't be difficult, you know how they are shaped and what the edges will look like. sometimes you can cut out a piece of cardboard and paint the right colors on it to complete the puzzle :) Don't worry men you rock (that's not engrish, it's me adressing Mur and Fang, yes it is engrish)! yes :D Menhir you still remember how people are and know how they think. yes we are often greedy and there is no perfect person. this could mean two things we are inherently born bad we are born good and get corrupted there's no REAL way to know without doing a very intensive and inhumane scientific study (and impossible too probably :P) really you just need to be more evil > :) I concur :D [/log] Two posts because too big for one...

Congrats to Nads! apir

You've been awake for 28 hours but you still want to get your active day so you stay up for it....

Do it :D

What are the rules?

It's two weeks. Each tea has three uses left.

Please give links to examples of "the ethics concerned in human and animal trials". Harry Harlow might have a different answer than you. So would anyone who has sent an animal into space.
