A Weaver's Knot
By moonlight and unfettered sea
The crow's nest of the Crimson Blade
Memories, rich, flooding the garden
Busting walls in cacophonous cascade
Memories, rich, flooding the garden
Stretched in an endless line
Whenever we sail the night together
Under the bridge of Time
And every Time becomes one
All rivers touch the sea
Every night is all one night
When you sail here with me
Out along the ocean
When you sail here with me
And still moonlight kisses us so
Where the rivers touch the sea
(To Adiallinda - from the yardarms with love and grit. Thank you for showing me the ropes.)

So long then, MD, it's been good to know you!

Your beef is with Mur, i would talk to him about your situation. See what he says.
I have no beef with Mur. I was asking these questions because I value your opinion and would like to understand the rationale behind your logic.

And what about those who attempt to "sit it out" but are made fugitives against their will?
My release date is apparently being pushed back over and over because of this, because, according to counsel I "escaped multiple times."
It would make sense escaping would increase your jailtime, since you do not act out your sentence, but are actively escaping it.
What makes sense is a matter of opinion. What do the rules say? Or are you implying that people who break unwritten rules that make sense to some people should go punished?

So, permanent IP ban x12 for me?
-
I think that announcement was speaking specifically for the players imprisoned by a monarch.
Otherwise, isn't it in contradiction with the fugitive feature?
That's my understanding of it.

Excommunication period and asylum
An unforeseen aspect of the king jailing ability was the jail time. I hereby put the default jail time for being jailed by your king to a period of two weeks. In special cases kings may negotiate this time with me , but only for good reasons on rare occasions. If someone gets out of jail sooner than he should (escapes) , his penalty will be increased to a lot more and if he does it again he received a permanent IP ban. Careful how a small penalty can turn into a much bigger one, jail is jail, not a tourist attraction.So you are saying that since Mur ported me out, my penalty should be increased? And if that happens twice I should get an IP ban? What are your thoughts about what should happen given that this has happened a dozen or so times?
I would really like to understand what you are trying to say.

A fugitive! Look out!!!
An exchange with council:
[cquote]
Hello Phantom Orchid,
Your release date is based on the period of time you are expected to stay in jail, This therefore means since you have been escaping the release date is continually pushed back. The expected jail sentence was a month but since you escaped multiple times during that we still consider your jail term unfinished. Since it is well known that escaping jail risks more punishment then at the moment the jail sentence is still a month of continuous jail time.[/cquote]Well known? I was not aware of this, and I have been an active player for 4+ years (I first stepped into the realm 1546
days ago). Escaping jail risks more punishment? You seem to be alluding to something above and beyond the established fugitive system. This is entirely unclear to me.
[cquote]Mur's plans for you, in regards to porting you out knowing that you will be a fugitive, but that's part of the decision he has taken for the role and he accepts that you will be unable to complete your jail sentence if you wish to follow this route, so for the time being, having chosen the path with Mur, you shall remain a fugitive. If your circumstances change and we shall keep an eye on the time you spend in jail.[/cquote]
"Having chosen the path with Mur you shall remain a fugitive." I did not _choose_ for Mur to port me out periodically, and I have no idea why he does this. I had no choice in the matter, and would have stayed in jail and been done with the sentence (of a length I was unaware of until you replied to my message) and been done with it twice over by now.
And I have even been back to jail a dozen times trying to serve my sentence like a good prisoner. Despite the belligerent suppositions of dst/no one, I was not pissing on, around, or even near anyone (or everyone). Sorry, but water sports just ain't my thing.
[cquote]
However we will consider reducing your jail time if you explain how you escaped jail. We are interested to see what methods you used.[/cquote]
Jail is not new for me. I helped test the toxicodendrite creature there. When I was there before, I could escape via two different methods. Now, neither method works anymore, and I know of absolutely no way to escape (neither does anyone I have asked about it) due to new changes. So if I explain, which you already know - and for the sake of appeasing your curiosity - that Mur teleports me out periodically for reasons unknown, you will consider reducing my jail time? This logic is absolutely astounding.
I did not choose to become a fugitive... I'm just playing the cards dealt to me. Although I am beginning to question the integrity of the dealer.

I saw someone turn grey/blue once after using it for a long time - it was a very eery sight.

Yes, such sweet memories from back in my wilder years!
We should raid Windy's stash to celebrate/commemorate :ph34r:
-
In the vein of being a vet - they should know better and be a little more respectful/considerate. I personally hate when someone tells me who is an alt of who - it taints my character's unique perspective of the others' unique character and interactions, whether "I" like it or not.
It is just one other way that the magical experiences of this realm get squashed, in my experience.

To add one more thing:
Let's take Dst as an example. A player develops a conflict with Dst, then makes an alt. The alt keeps this hostile attitude towards Dst - it means that the traces of your main account persona were transfered to your alt, and that the whole concept of new role/perception falls to the water, because ideally the alt should develop a conflict with Dst from scratch, not receive it as a legacy of the previous account.
In that case, Dst's retaliation of posting the alt information is 'fair' (again, if no admin tools were used).
Dst didn't leave the impression that such was the case with Poe and Magistra when posting their information, and it is unknown whether certain admin privileges were used, so do not apply this example to events that took place.
That is a lot of supposition.
Nicola has never interacted with dst, except for posting in her AL due to in-game events which she observed (she doesn't talk much).
-
A) The only admin tools that could possibly determine an alt is the altchecker, dst definately does not have access to this
B) If you use your alts to leave slanderous comments on dst then its very easy to guess who they are
C) Using B) and the same country list, it logically follows and agrees with the data gathered in B)
Result: You used your alts to abuse her, she realised, she outed then without any form of powers. Like anyone else could.
So the question is, are players allowed to do this? She did it to magistra's alt in the forum. Discuss.
The only comments Nicola left for dst were from her observations of dst in-game. If you want background, you could ask, you know :P
Now, you are accusing me of leaving "slanderous comments" - Slanderous how, exactly?
You are saying I used alts to abuse her - where's the proofs?

Nightfall at the Oak Fort
The air was stiff within the cold, dank walls of the prison cell, yet, she was surrounded by many familiar characters. It was one of those dreams, a swirling wall of shades from which there is no respite, in which she becomes haunted, consumed almost by the ghosts of forgotten memories. She tries to counter this by cultivating memories rich, like gardens, from the compost of experience; however, this is a dream in which she feels totally out of control as if forced to ride in the passenger seat of her own mind.
The walls dripped silent echoes, a peculiarity not lost by her, as she fades in and out of consciousness. In one moment of brief lucidity she pulls her hair back and looks up from the bench to the familiar scrawl “Crazy Mike wuz here” etched into the stone wall. She reaches up and begins to trace the indelible marks with her finger when suddenly she is struck by a sky-splitting sound and falls to the floor.
She finds herself standing in front of the Oak Fort.
: Phantom Orchid approaches the Fort
: Phantom Orchid sits among the gnarled roots, slowly, and then stretches out her weary legs
: Phantom Orchid pauses, then takes a deep breath
: Phantom Orchid inhales, then slowly exhales and smiles as a crow perches itself on a branch above her head
: Phantom Orchid centers herself in the present, worlds away from dank jail walls, sharp tongues, and broken dreams
: Phantom Orchid opens her Book of Dreams
She dreams. The shades return, but, interestingly enough, this Time none of them glance her way. She feels her pendant glow dark against her chest and, quickly, she curls into a ball against the base of the Accursed Growth as darkness engulfs her. It feels like a mirage. Some clarity, a few details, but whatever focus of attention exists vanishes as soon as it comes. She does not know this Time why she is here, and it perturbs her. So she waits.
After waiting for what seems like years, she sees her. She is crossing an abyss, and then she suddenly, fleetingly, remembers that this is why she’s been waiting. A stomachful of butterflies, a fast-paced heartbeat, a thief in the night.
“Ready?” she asks after a brief hug.
“Yes.” She answered. She has been ready ever since she had met that small girl with the three candles.
“Do you want to know where we are going?” she asks.
“No. It matters not so long as it’s this way.”
