I did not get a chance to repond to the defamation of my character here:
[url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com//index.php?showtopic=4280"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com//index.php?showtopic=4280[/url]
There are obviously some very deep and powerful issues that were brought up, ones which will only grow and fester if light is not shed onto them. I've tried very hard to be civil with Akasha, but have only be slighted and made to appear as an aggressor by her. This has become a pattern.
It is almost predictable that Akasha has me on her 'ignore list' when she has refused - it's been well over a week now - to respond to my submission for her quest. Additionally, she wrote a note on my wishpoint (from a previous quest) saying I got a low value for not following her request for additional information - though *absolutely none* was given.
*hands Akasha a magical cookie which will satiate the need for power/control and alleviate feelings of victimization for 5 minutes*
Enjoy it while it lasts...

[quote]First, you forgot about your mesage
don't worry i have it:[/quote]
If you actually read what I posted you will see it's there.
[quote]Second, this is like what? 3-4rd time you come to mie like i have done something wrong?[/quote]
I fail to see where my question assumed anything about you or your intentions.
[quote][b]Btw: Stop harrazing me by pm's please. I am not cheating nor trying to beat you to death in battles and hide that.Stop bitching at me.[/quote]
If asking for help is 'bitching,' then I promise you I will ask no more - unless you change your message tag to LHB
[quote]i advise you to calm down and appologize for accusing me all the time...or let's say using the acusation tone..sounds better?[/quote]
What exactly have I accused you of?
Have a beautiful day
May you be blessed with 10,000 smiles

[quote name='Chewett' post='33047' date='Jun 8 2009, 11:27 AM']hmm seems nice and friendly.
Yes when a burst is used fights are erased from the system. From both sides. So logs dont appear after someone has used a burst.[/quote]
Thank you Chewett. I wasn't aware it was erased on _both_ sides until today. See, I learn something new everyday.
In return I teach what I learn - It makes this realm all that much richer when there's cooperation.

Yesterday I tried to ask Akasha a question, as she has a LHO message tag I thought she was LHO.
*From: .Akasha. (ID:1148)
*sent 8 hours and 33 minutes ago Read later
Original message:
Akasha, Do you know why your attack is not in my battle log anymore? My last ten fights are, but not that one. I'll ask around. Thank you Priestess Orchid

Enjoy

Your reply to this message:
Aren't you a LHO? I was asking because I thought you were. I feel hurt that you call me those things. This game would be better if people would help each other out. bye -
We have lots to work with here.
Bob - Life cycle similar to other trees? Grows as they do? Some trees resprout quickly (maples will resprout even if their entire trunk is cut down)
Bloom - Happens quickly (time sped up?)
Was it a clean break and will the branch 'fit' back into place? It may need physical support once it's put back into position. If the trunk has scarred over where the break happened, then we may need to abrade it so Bob's juices will be able to flow into the branch.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Use of principles: I am very pleased by what my cohorts have come up with thus far. The following comments are to further explore and discuss what is already a great start.
Time - beautiful use of it; however, if we are even a little bit 'off' working our magic then any mishap will be exaggerated and it will be harder to go back and fix any mistakes
Syntropy - Life Force / Energy / Mana must be *held* by the elements used in this process, otherwise they will dissipate. For example, leaves have chloroplasts which *hold* sunlight particles and use that energy in the molecular process of turning carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (food), oxygen, and water.
Transposition - Having a hard time understanding how this one might come into play
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Spells
I have protection spell Level 3
...Any type of affliction causes as a side-effect one element that leads to its curing.
Here I believe is where the ashes come into play. Also, besides the physical, this action has had the side-effect of mobilizing Bob's protectors.
And Cures spell Level 3
...a well conceived cure is one in which the concoction made by the ingredients has the ability to either model or erase the fingerprint left by the disease.
We must erase the physical, and obvious, fingerprint left by the break, but we must also erase the fingerprint left by evil intentions as well.
These are just a few thoughts for now.

[quote name='Aken' post='31867' date='May 21 2009, 09:41 AM']i need to speak with you in game[/quote]
Welcome to the CoE Aken!!! And congratulations on getting into LR at mp3.
Phantom Orchid,
Priestess of the CoE -
Greetings,
Thank you to all Lorerootians for the success in pulling through with these elections. Let us not be hindered in our organizational efforts to defend Loreroot by those from without.
Until this point I have fervently read this forum and participated in it, but unless something changes and the flame-wars die down, my energy will be expended elsewhere in a more productive manner.
Blessings to all,
Phantom Orchid

Dearest Pamplemousse,
Your question:
[quote]What makes someone a Lorerootian? Perhaps there are those with an attachment to the land and a desire for its movement back to a viable, thriving land, yet are not in the alliance. Do they not have a say?[/quote]
Tarquinus, from the [i]original [/i]post:
[quote]This voting is open to ALL residents of the land of Loreroot, including the neutral Crafters if they desire to cast their votes*. To those not yet affiliated with a land, I offer encouragement to submit your name to one of our Censors, Mya Celestia or Gremlin, and indicate your desire to vote in this election. If you have another homeland, I humbly request that you refrain from voting.[/quote]
Yes! there are indeed Lorerootians not registered in any alliance, and they too have been encouraged from the start to vote in this election.

Kragel ol' pal,
Please forgive me. What I took for the excitement of roleplay, an 'attack' against our Sibyl, was obviously nothing more than an interpersonal conflict. *sigh* . Perhaps we should have more relationship counselors in this realm!
Oh well, I'm sure I'll see action soon enough...
No hard feelings, eh?
Poe.
p.s. I hope that you all will work this out. -
[b]Prayer to Invoke the Moon[/b]
We come o'er your hill so fair,
To dance upon the dew.
And look out upon your handiwork,
That morning shall renew.
We come into your meadow fair,
Home of nymph and faun,
To witness all the red-blue sky,
Working magic come the dawn.
We come into your forest fair,
To sing among the trees,
To sway carefree amidst the leaves
Showering kisses upon the breeze.
We come into your wooded fair,
And beckon the sun to play,
May it dance itself on towards the dusk,
And sparkle like the fey.
We come into your grove so fair,
That the cloak of night come round,
To gather stars within its sweep
And shine upon the ground.
We come upon your world so fair,
And think on what we've seen
Then fall to sleep with Goddesses of old,
And dream on moon-beam wings.

*Wipes her brow*
Phew, I'm glad a withdrew from the auction block last minute, Calyx would have _killed_ me if I became owned by somebody else.
*coughs*
Really, congrats to Kragel for putting on a good show and pulling so much support and resources for the market. This was a huge success - and I do know at least a few slaves who are far from displeased with their masters. -
[b] A Pirate's Lament[/b]
The twilight flows in
Through the big window pane.
The moon, like a boat,
Is sailing the sky.
The bright evening star
Shows the way onward:
A vision as fair
As an old lullaby.
She sits by the window,
Watching the moon
And the star’s golden light.
Though her mind and her body
Are no more, her spirit
Is sailing away
In the deep cerulean night.
When she was alive,
She lived on the ocean
And gathered the waves
With you by her side.
And when she died,
She moved to the prairie
And dreamed of the waves
Where her spirit now abides.
When you were with her,
She taught you the star-rhyme:
“I wish that I may,
And I wish that I might.”
But the sweetest of wishes
Are the ones never answered,
The longing as rich
As the azure evening light.
What is she wishing,
Tonight by the window,
Watching the moon
And the star sailing by?
Though her body is gone,
Her spirit is happy,
Sailing away
In an old lullaby.
(This poem was written for my lover Adiallinda - in honor and memory of somebody very special to her - and also for the inextricable link between moon and sea)

Secret Places[/b]
From our secret places
By a hidden path,
We come in the moonlight
Safe from the wraiths.
There the night through
We soak in our pleasure,
Dancing to such a measure
As only the weald ever knew.
To song and dance
And lilt without a name,
So sweetly breathed
Devoid of all shame.
And many a young maiden
Is there, of mortal birth,
Her young eyes laden
With dreams of earth.
And many a youth entranced
Moves slowly in the weald o'er round,
His brave lost feet enchanted,
With the rhythms of fairy sound.
Music so forest regal
And piercing sweet would bring
Harmony with blackbirds singing
Their best in the ear of spring.
And now they pause in their dancing,
And look with troubled eyes,
Earth straying children
With sudden memory wise.
They pause, and their eyes missing moonlight
With wisdom growing cold,
Grow dim and a thought goes fluttering
In the hearts no longer old.
And then the dream forsakes them,
And sighing, they turn anew,
As the whispering music takes them,
To the dance of the Nymph crew.
O many a thrush and a blackbird
Would soar o'er the ground,
And pine away in silence
For envy of such a sound.
So the night through
In our sad pleasure,
We dance to many a measure,
That only the weald ever knew.

[quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' post='29633' date='Apr 28 2009, 09:46 PM']These slaves are volunteer slaves. As such, there's no reason for the slave not to turn this to make a profit for themselves, unless of course proceeds are going to a good cause.[/quote]
it _is_ a good cause.... this fair will build community and hopefully implement better ways we can help each other out.
*turns her nose up at those who are above being a slave for charity, and would only do such a thing selfishly in hopes of personal monetary gain...that's almost as bad as...gasps...as those who shave parts of their bodies* -
Phantom Orchid
Female
Will only become a 'slave' if I want to - if the pot is sweet enough. Will only become a male's slave if the pot is so loaded with coin/magic that it's too heavy for a rhinoceros to lift
*puts on her whore-red lipstick*
These are my terms
And I will not betray the land or anybody whom I love
hehe I probably don't make a good slave in the traditional sense of the word, but i'm a sucker for consentual creativity
<insert wildest dreams here>
oh yeah, i have a lion friend named reggie who will rip anyone to shreds that tries to take advantage of me in ways i don't approve of. but don't worry, there are plenty of ways that i do *wink*
besides...it's for charity - so cough it up already!
***disclaimer --- this slave claims no responsibility if her owner suddenly starts ecstatically howling for the moon for very long periods of time*** -
Greetings,
Would it be possible to set up a barter board?
Also, what about trading character weapons/armor (perhaps akin to how creatures are traded)?
I am *very* excited about trading/bartering, because it will help spread the wealth and keep things that much more decentralized. There seems a lot more potential than only using coins which are few and kinda hard to come by.
Also, I play the nyckelharpa for hire if I won't play for free *winks* Ask Kittiness how I play. -
What is the significance of the mythology of Science, in all its reductionist totality - refusing to acknowledge magic?
To discover the consequences all you have to do is take a cold, hard look around you.
Blessings,

QUEST: Blame Bob's Enemies
in General and Offtopic
Posted · Edited by Phantom Orchid
[quote name='Shadowseeker' post='33590' date='Jun 16 2009, 10:31 AM']Uh..think I did answer it, my idea is the paste...after all, I'm more for restoration instead of regeneration..
Ashes with the usage of cyclicity would mean it regrows, but that is something different from recreating it...thus the paste.[/quote]
I concur with Shadowseeker. As well, issues of time manipulation seem overkill at best and unpredictably harmful at worst.
Before coming into this realm I lived as a druid, one who is inextricably entwined with trees - my leading principle is element, followed by imagination and balance - and now as a priestess of the CoE I have continuously offered blessings to Bob in every passing through the Path of Loneliness. As much as the physical mechanics of patching Bob up are important, I know that the spiritual matters are just as well.
Though my rituals have been private thus far, I will share what I do know of budding and grafting. If the break was not 'clean', then planing it to match a 30 degree angle of attachment would be in order. Also, if a T-shaped cut is made into the bark of the trunk, just barely larger then the size of the branch, then the small flap of bark will hold the branch snug and a 'whip and tongue' lash could then be wound around to bind the two.
I'm left to wonder, might there be a way for to siphon vitality from a donator into the broken branch? If it were possible, and directed towards the proximal end of the branch, then this would help it to regenerate.
