@Ominous I just want to know what this references, because I am having a complete brainfart.

@Wizz Ok but did you give picture #1 a bath like they were clearly asking for? (ETA - they were actually expecting the dish towel straight out of the dryer, but I didn’t want to state the obvious here)

I can’t find an “ugly cry” GIF that’s good(?) enough to explain my feelings about all these passings this week.

So who is the Blood Patriarch, and can he be my boyfriend

You don’t want that. Nobody wants that. Trust.

@dvoraen

I actually don’t recall if this got asked (and I have nfc what to look for if the answer exists), but how does it work that <things> got chomped and then the culprit got what happened to them. I mean that in a “does that particular notion have to be refilled by a successor” or is it more “VACANCY: THIS MANY FOLKS” who may or may not have the same “portfolio” so to speak.

So that one I won’t get into, as fun as it would be to talk about it. I’m gonna keep to things that would greet people immediately on the way in or be very clear just from reading things that would be mostly common knowledge to characters, and the metaphysics around things like that and the circumstances could be considerably deeper, and in some cases run into some character secrets.

Fair! I was mostly curious because of some of your AMA answers that hinted at option a (successors) as well as that doozy about not-David Bowie killing a certain somebody who was put in timeout in Eurus.

@Testament THE COMBINED. MIGHT. OF THE SUN!

If I missed this somewhere above, I apologize (I’m lazy) –

Is my boy Leviathan coming back? Can he take the form of a cool talking fish?

Most of the gods got got but Leviathan is still around and some Infernals worship him, especially among the Sireni.

Next you will ask to ban yourself geeze!

Or block himself.

@Apos Would you like to place a wager on an initial playerbase census (characters in each area by %) after this posting about Ariwn?

(Also, how do you pronounce it?)

Let me know what broke.

I wouldn’t call this broke so much as “idk if I/dvor need to change a setting somewhere”. It might also be a Chrome-specific thing with their vertical tabs update (ETA - it is) that I’ve started using, but:

I CAN’T EDIT MY OWN POSTS (SCREECH)

The ^^ vv prompt in the bottom right COVERS IT UP for bigger threads/topics.
(Because you can see I edited this one fine since it says “5 out of 5” which takes up less screen space.)

Well, I think I know how to filter some player temperament through using my knowledge of the English language. It certainly gave me some application question ideas to send to Staff if there is a Player Helper application for Arx 2.

There’s a magic system, and PCs who want to learn magic will all be complete newbies. (gif snipped out)

@real_mirage said:

Arx 1 didn’t really have a desert zone (in Avrum). Arx 2 better have a desert zone. I want camels.

What if it was a desert with a black pyramid that had – wait.

@kalakh said in Arx:

I hate all of you.

@hellfrog said:

I mean, there was some of this for sure. For player helpers on Arx, one of the questions was 'name a woman who is not fictional or dead who is smarter than you are."

And it did drive some assholes away, fully intended.

Do you accept unsolicited questions for this sort of thing?

looks at Among Us update with the Judge role

looks at @meg and @tez, drops off below Innersloth video that says everything necessary

The Isles of Inferna really aren’t that warm. Pretty mild, actually, depending on the season. Nice sea-breeze.

sounds like a great place for cultivating mangos to make mango vodka

What kind of wood do you think they use there to make their banjos?

@Pavel I wanted to make a joke about Pavlovian responses and adapt it to "Pavel"ovian, but at 2:16am I couldn’t bring it all together.

This is me putting you on notice that it might happen one day, or never.

@spiriferida For L&L, really play up the politics, intrigue, animosity between rival families, and management aspects to the level that no one has time to knock boots on screen.

Demand characters have so many administrative skills, they become virtually unfuckable.

Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit

I mean, isn’t “admin assistant” office sex an entire genre as well? We all know who does the real work while ahem getting fucked over.

(I’m being cliche. I don’t really think every admin assistant everywhere does everything for said admin while they do nothing.)

hello, my peeve is that my town is on fire and it is a pain in the ass.

If I’m not mistaken, I’m about 2-3h drive away from you, and it’s basically THE FOG here the smoke haze is that bad. Our AQI is > 500 here, everyone is saying.

@ham Yeah, it was not a perfect comparison I made, but even in the business world your reputation can precede you as to who will want to do business with you. (I can think of an example here, but that is tangential.)

I did insinuate some bad faith with the made-up dialogue, true, but it was more to illustrate the point where if something comes up with the metaphorical business dealing and I get cagey answers about who is managing and/or owning it…
