Please let me know what you liked, what you didn't like, or what you'd like to see discussed in the future.

It's true, you are a lot cooler as a cereal.

...I agree with your statement that characters with failures are a lot more fun than perfect ones...


...I think I remember the quest to get the magickal kank.  There's been more than one "quest" to capture an inhabited animal.


...Did you have an idea of what you wanted to talk about beforehand?


...I like your thoughts about the character lives in Armageddon, it's good to have people explain why we play the game in different words and phrases.

[Riev]

Man, Rae, I ain't -never- called you Raisin-Ohs, but that sounds a LOT cooler.


I love when the staff kinda comes out and talks about what its like being on staff, things that have happened. Even talking about IC events, between you and Sanvean, you can see the passion. Thumbs up!

[Yam]

I pronounce things exactly as you do, Raisin-O's.

Rae, help?

[Decameron]

Very nice job for the first time. Definitely some interesting topics in there.

Keep them coming.

[Dalmeth]

I've got to say, just about any story about a character, particularly an odd or especially good one always tickles my fancy.  Thanks a lot for sharing, Raesanos.

[Yam]

Oh god. You see NPC psis?

That makes me pretty happy, actually. I've sent them some funny things.

/agree

[musashi]

"So I sat around, got poked with some sticks ... ate some stuff a kank probably shouldn't eat ..."

ROFL

/agree

I agree as well. It's nice seeing things from your(staff) perspective. It puts us in your shoes and brings you into a more 'human' light, I would say. It gives as a chance to relate with you and doesn't nothing but help the game and the way we view your actions. Thanks, keep them coming.

P.S. Expect a huge flood of npc's receiving Psi's.

[AmandaGreathouse]

Thanks for the videos. I didn't have any idea that the psis were seen. Good to know.

[Shiroi Tsuki]

It would be a good idea to write down what you want to cover, and then practice it at least once before recording it.  It'd cut down on the rambling and digressions.

I really liked the subject-matter though 

[Mood]

I liked the rambling, though. It made me laugh.

[Ourla]

Me and PF stayed up late to watch these last night... so cool!  Thanks, Raesanos. 

I'm pretty sure Niamh is pronounced "Neeve."  I named a PC that once.

[Southie]

I'm pretty sure Niamh is pronounced "Neeve."  I named a PC that once.

No way dude. I read it as "Nom". As in:

I made you a cookie, but I eated it. Nom nom nom.

(plz dont slay me)

[manonfire]

Dug it. Post more.

[manonfire]

Also, twenty bucks people start contacting NPCs like woah.

[Inertial Inix]

Also, twenty bucks people start contacting NPCs like woah.

I'm so going to do this.
It'll be IC as all get-out, too.

[Riev]

Also, twenty bucks people start contacting NPCs like woah.

I never had a reason to before, still none now. If the NPC won't respond to tells, probably won't respond to Ways, in my mind.

[Zalanthan]

I never had a reason to before, still none now. If the NPC won't respond to tells, probably won't respond to Ways, in my mind.

I've been WAYing NPCs for a long time now and have had them contact me back on more than one occasion.

[Nyr]

We don't see tells to NPCs, for what it's worth--only psionic messages.
Good video, Rae.  Makes me want to post one.  And I'm pretty sure you guys are going to get surprise blog updates from the BH.

[psionic fungus]

I never had a reason to before, still none now.

Did you watch the videocasts?  They gave a reason.

If the NPC won't respond to tells, probably won't respond to Ways, in my mind.

According to Raesanos, this is not true.  Your mind has failed you.

edit: Damnit Nyr.  Don't post when I'm posting.

[Riev]

Well thank you Psionic Fungus for pretty much contributing nothing to the conversation thanks to Nyr =p

I still don't have  much of a reason to way NPCs all that much. If it can be done through a PC but you have to wait, I'd rather wait. I guess I prefer player interaction over immteraction when I can help it =\

[Raesanos]

Did you have an idea of what you wanted to talk about beforehand?

I knew I was going to talk about new staff and the werekank but that was about it.  I actually was going to write more notes but decided to just start recording to see where it went and was happy with the result.  This was a lot more fun than a more scripted video, for me at least.

Adobe Flash doesn't support x86_64 architecture for linux.

Rae, help?

Ouch!

I uploaded a low-fi video of the whole thing to ginka here:  http://armageddon.org/~raesanos/rae_on_arm_1.mov

It is only there temporarily since that is our own bandwidth.

I'm pretty sure Niamh is pronounced "Neeve."  I named a PC that once.

Yeah Neev told me that later, you are correct.

Also:  Thanks for all the feedback and I'm glad so many people enjoyed it!
