Armageddon General Discussion Board

This is an old log of mine, one of my favorites.
http://www.armageddon.org/original/showSubmission.php?submission=352
I accidentally used my account name instead of my GDB name when I submitted it, so I'm just sort of claiming credit for it now, I guess.
So, yeah, logs are fun. You should totally post some of your own, don't yoiu think? *Hint hint nudge nudge squeeze grope*

Logs!!!  :)

Cool.

I had a lot of fun reading this, especially the part where one of the elves was describing his job.  The quality of the RP was impressive.  Thanks for posting it.




Now post more.

I love logs! This one had great quality of role play. Thanks for sharing.

 ;D

I agree. Everyone knows I love the Rinth anyways, but this is a great example of what it should be like. I love seeing the non combative nature of the lowlifes of the Labyrinth. It also diversifies the place. I only wish that elf was still alive doing that it would be a great ddition to the place.

Well done man, well done.

THIS IS A HOLDUP.

Man.  I was dumbfounded.

Hahahaha. I'd so do that just for a reaction.

>em storms into tavern, crossbow aimed with intent.
>say Y'all want to be lookin' very intently at your own bellybuttons. See a head start to rise, violence is going to ensue.

Neat, but I've seen far cooler. 8) You should post that up, LauraMars.

LOL, Gunslinger. Serenity has raised the bar on holdup scenes.

Great log, very entertaining. :-)

Meh.  That log pretty much shows how archery needs to be redone.  Even with the criminal coding in place...having a crossbow pointed at you should be at least a -little- more unsettling than 'stand;draw weapon;draw weapon;shout I dare you'.

Aye. A crossbow bolt to the chest at point blank range? I don't care what the stats or skill levels of those involved are: the crossbowman wouldn't miss, and the recipient would be incapacitated, or worse.

I thought the victim had a shitty reaction. It almost felt like this happened in a HnS mud, rather than an RPI.

The log was awesome up until the point someone just stood up and drew their weapons, knowing OOCly that they'd easily be able to take the guy since all he has is a crossbow.  If I were the guy with the crossbow, I probably would've pointed it at her and demanded that she drop her weapons; OOCly I know it would've accomplished nothing, but ICly my robber wouldn't know that.

Still, it's largely the fault of the game code that one knows, OOCly, that a crossbow at point-blank range is pretty much not at all a threat to one's character.  I guess this is a roundabout way of saying I agree?

I would have role-played it out for a scene. Either by complying if my character was unskilled, or by emoting something bad ass if my pc was skilled, like:

>em skillfully dodges the bolt, feinting under it and closing the distance to ~crossbowman in an instant. He grabs for ^crossbowman arm his hand moving at incredible speed.
>subdue crossbowman(even though crimcode would insta-gank me in that instance, just a rough idea)

Then see how things went from there. People just need to roleplay more instead of freak out, draw both weapons, then offer a challenge.

I saw something similar, only the person didn't use a bow. He used a knife.

If the crossbow were perhaps pointed at the chest, yes, I could see that.
I think the reactions could have been better (I didn't react because I was shocked and laughing, "victim" was just one PC amidst a crowd of other vNPCs, culprit didn't account for vNPCs/even NPCs with drawn weapons already there) but I found the whole event more amusing on a different level.

I mean...come on.  A crossbow?  Coded archery problems aside, you can shoot one person--ONE person.  Then you have a chunk of wood in your hand that's useless, and a whole damn room full of people who (likely) all have weapons of their own.  It's not like you're holding up a liquor store or a bank in present day.  The Barrel isn't quite the Gaj, but I see what happened as closer to this

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23293620-5001021,00.html

than a robbery at gunpoint.

Might I point out, again, that using a crossbow is a one-shot deal if you're going to coerce a whole roomful of people with it?
Even if you hit someone, you have to reload the crossbow before you can hit someone else!

That's why the situation merits mirth on many levels.  It wasn't smart, it was slightly scary (you could have gotten a bolt stuck in you!), and the culprit got dealt with.

I've got another log that's way too short to really submit, but it consisted this same character browsing things in the Bazaar and getting hit in the head with a pair of boots from an old man that attacked him--and that was the same week.  Someone was fulfilling odd urges from the OOC forum that week, I bet...

I am ambivalent.

A part of me things the scene was amusing if rather sadly played out.

But then I've also seen people do some strange things while looking down the barrel of a gun.

Archery thing is dead-on.  And, of course, a single-person robbery is suicide in Armageddon--but people should still be unanxious to be the one shot.

I guess my other complaint would be the rush to track down the perp.  Really, you're in a bar and somebody tries to rob you--shoots, misses, runs away--and you want to leave and try to find him?  Leave it for the militia, people; you've got enough trouble of your own.

Likewise: "A gemmer and I have caught him..." :o
> psi OMG Did it hurt you? Will he help you get away from the gemmer?

I hate to be ragging on the players involved, 'cause all this stuff is understandable and it's likely that I wouldn't have done any "better" in the heat of the moment.  Crossbows are dangerous only in the hands of a master; an exciting diversion is hard to pass up; the playerbase is thin enough that you'll take help (and real PC interaction) where you can get it.

Take what you can get at 10 AM EST on a Saturday morning, eh?  :)

edit:  For what it's worth, this was a year ago during the "OMG too many magickers" debacle and the great karma-off and etc.  Couldn't post it sooner due to the rules on posting submissions.

I agree as well... although I understand how the reaction is hard to control when you just want to stand and draw your weapons.  I guess if the person had some real good armor on (equivalent of a bullet-proof vest) then it might make more sense - but then there's a chance you could get shot in the face when you are that close.  That would suck.. hard.  Honestly, in real life it would be a different story... but again, the way things work in the game make it hard to react realistically I guess.

I agree also... the gemmer thing irritates me a bit as well.  The "robber" and the guy hunting the robber should have suddenly teamed up against the gemmer, in many circumstances.  I guess it could have gone either way... or they all are just cursed with the touch of the gemmers foul taint and have gone crazy.  Hah.

I don't know.  I like my life.

It's like, someone walks in with a crossbow today, and says, who wants to die?  Give me your wallets.  You really seriously going to be the one who might die?  Yeah everyone else might get them, but, you want to be a martyr?  Seriously.  Everyone in Zalanthas is bad ass.  But also they are mortal ya know?  It'd be more frightening if he had a M-16 but still.  A crossbow bolt...it hurts man.  It'll kill ya.  Seriously.  It's scary scary.

The kind that, when you swing them casually about, take out half the population of the bar.  When you swing them with purpose, it's a bit like mowing the lawn, only with a lot more blood and screams.

I'm not sure..but that may have been my gemmer that was walking around in that scene..and the same one that "caught" the guy...

..if not, then I've had an elkran of mine run into the same same situation, before.

That hold-up had serious potential to be really fun by the looks of it.

I don't get these squealing insta-grass up players! You make raiding, robbery and all the acts that make REALLY FUCKING COOL SCENES extra hard to commit, and the game less fun. I doubt most commoners would give a shit or have the balls to summon a Templar in most cases.

Quote from: Spoon on April 23, 2008, 01:47:19 PM
I doubt most commoners would give a hoot or have the gumption to summon a Templar in most cases.

I like that concept, but the crimcode sets a contrary example here.  Lethal violence is absolutely not tolerated ever--and templars typically aren't that inaccessible.
Some even come with a customer service satisfaction guarantee. ;-)

Er, yeah, they're both logs. Dunno how that happened! One is The Golden Kank Part 1(logs), and the other is A Golden Kank Part 2(Stories).

I was REALLY careful to make sure that they both had the same title. Weird how that works.

I heard mudseks?

Oy, NINE new logs!

Too many to take in all at once, but worth the time from what I've read so far.

Did the submission form format editor-thingy make you two want to bash your heads in?  I spent waaaaaay too much time reformatting my already formatted logs.  Did you find anything that worked for you?

Fucking awesome new logs, you guys. Just wonderful to read.  :)

I edited it in Windows Notepad, then spent way too much time in GMail fighting with the random carriage returns that Notepad had inserted.  :-[

Next time I'll probably use gvim, since it will wrap lines on-screen without actually inserting any characters.  But that's not a terribly user-friendly program; it's just that I already know how to use it.

YES!!! I'm -so- glad you submitted that Brytta.

Been wanting to reread over that ever since it happened.

Ruti's player is not around anymore, and left after Ruti died due to feeling wronged by the Staff. He did not actually participate in the final scene, either, but his PC was staff-animated for that. I think they did an extremely good job with that death scene, there was a gathering of vNPCs hiding out in the crowds that staff made agree with some points of him. It was a very good scene, in my opinion. Ruti's player (GDB handle Rarsh) might come back for Arm 2, and might not. I think he currently playing Harshlands, but it may be a different MUD.

I think he used to hang out one room back, in the temple. I interacted with him once and thought he was a PC, actually... Until I realised that no, he wasn't linkdead back there. :P Anyways, he was "new" in so far as it wasn't a regeneration of the last PC, which happens way too often with the random killings.

I think it's hard to have a log of the "good side" just because it was the day-to-day that made her good, most of the interesting logs she's yelling at someone-- And yes, we DID need yelling at! :D

Some more than others.

I do hope you find those logs, Taven. I really do.

I'm just catching up on these. Awesome stuff. Hey wow, there's Laila being a hardass bitch in a few more logs! :)

Yeah, they don't really catch her good side well, do they?

C'mon, that WAS her good side. Y'all know you loved that about her ;) I actually think it's perfect that's how she's seen in logs, because being a hardass bitch was her job. Maybe someday I'll dig up some other logs that show another side or two...only problem is, I think a lot of that stuff is still very IC :/

I love dumb and silly half-giants with odd habits and jobs that aren't in the militia.

I like halfgiants that are curious, thickheaded, and naive. Easy to be tempered, and easy to be pleased. Not dumb massive war machines.

OH, well then I agree.  :)

Yam, loved the log. My favorite part is when you look at the templar, and he has no clothes. Also when you think:

QuoteYou feel somewhat courageous in light of the circumstances.

You feel not too courageous though.

You feel hungry more than anything.

You feel a bit confused too.

Ghost, your story was amazing to read. I confess that this is the first one I've read, despite there being so many good critiques about them going around. It was good, and I plan to read all the others as well. A hearty round of applause, it was, again, a wonderful read.

I felt like the log/story "Felna and the Baj'aa Paj" could have been better. The forgein words would make sense to say in Sirihish as loan-words, but if Bendune was the language the story was origninally written in, then having them there doesn't make much sense. I like the idea of adding flavor to a story that way, with loan-words, but I think using too many can undermine the story. I liked how needing to rest found the diamonds, but felt that it didn't conclude well. You wouldn't find diamonds every time, after all. What other benefits might the birds have? Maybe it the bird had seen the diamonds where Felna has missed them, and pecked at them, it would show something useful. Alternately, mannerisms might be good. It was a very interesting read, the same, and I think it did a good job of capturing the tribal "feel" in folktales where things have unexpected benefits. I do think it needs to be fleshed out more.

The Zan log was amusing, because his money was stolen by a whore. I like how he wasn't killed, just punished and threatened with future death. I really like when PCs use alternatives other then death to gain motivation. I know that more then once as a player I've been certain that my PC would die if I followed that person.... Only to gain new RP oppertunities out of it, and usually have my PC either awed or terrified out of their minds. It's sad that sometimes that's just too risky, because people will get you back by killing you. Alternatives to death are always more interesting.

"How Child Cilops Stole Fire" -- It intrigues me, but the "&apos;" is driving me crazy, and I can't focus to read it. Am I the only one seeing those? I think it should be re-submitted with those edited out, they're really distracting.

Bayors Poem-- Short, interesting. I could have had it be a little longer, actually! I liked how it flowed with the rhyming. I assume Bayor was a northie from the "light of his king," line.

Recued by Raleris Winrothol-- Rescue is spelled wrong in the title!  :o Someone should get that fixed! I like it, except for the "His Corporal came along,|never questioning what was wrong" lines, which don't seem to fit. I think maybe "came along, assisting to fix the grevious wrong," would fit better. I like the deails on how to play it, like "(*cheerful and jaunty, hold out the last note of each line*)" which is a nice detail that you don't usually see in the song section of Original Submissions.

And, as to the dwarf... It's by our Visulization Specialist! What more needs be said?

Great job and efforts by all, I hope to see more in the next batch that gets approved!

I like how marin just stabbed him and then continued talking with him.

Zan's story was a hilarious one.  I should compile a story about it with Rhyden and get that published.

The thing that I liked the most about Zan, and other rinthers around that time, is they were absolutely mundane. That time in the rinth was filled with monsters and magick and insanity, and PC's like Zan helped ground the fact that the rinth, at the end of the day, was just the projects, filled with rinth rats.

Ah, how I miss the old days of Jak and Sandas and even Blade.

QuoteFor the record, Laila is my favorite "hardass bitch" ever.

Ditto. My bynner got into strife with her once, and I (the player) was awestruck at her command of the art of the insult.   The way she managed to provoke someone who over the years had I thought become impervious to sergeant abuse.
It was one Kudos I should've sent.

QuoteBayors Poem-- Short, interesting. I could have had it be a little longer,

It was quite long enough for the patrons of the Sanctuary when my 'nakki Bynner recited it.  One more way for a Southron to get kicked from the Sanct.  Recite a poem there about a king, in southern sirrihish.

Granted that was made up on the spot, the story coming along line by line. I knew it had a weird ending, but I kinda liked it anyways.  :)

It's never too late.

The proper title should be "new art up" now, but I'm too lazy to make a new thread just for that. Really, we should have one thread for "New Original Submissions!"

What do you guys think of the new art thing? Thumbnails are awesome, but I'd really like to keep the title and comments viewable before clicking on something too. Also, the "new" tags don't show up with the thumbnails, you have to set it to "by date" and "decending" to find them.

I really like the shiny gallery, but (sorry, hard-working staffers!) rather dislike the popup view.  Nor have I figured out how to do my normal Right Click -> View/Save Image bit.

Yeah, that's one thing that's always kind of annoyed me about this gallery script. Which sucks, because every art website made in the last 3-4 years seems to feel obligated to use it. At least Morg's version has a 'make this bigger' button--most don't.

I like it.

I am thinking about pouring through some old logs from 97-2000ish.  I haven't really found any information on how the formating should be.  By that I mean, what should I prune from the log before submitting it? Also, do these go to the staff for approval/review when they are submitted?

I probably have a couple logs that are from things that are on the history page and may be pretty intersting (it will just take alot of digging to find).

There is no offical formatting, but cleaning out the excess "spam" is always good. I recommend looking at a few logs up on Org. Sub. to see if there's a way you like.

Yes, staff does approve them. Anything "uber sekkret" should be pruned.


I'd love to see some older logs, personally.

Being a newer player with some interest in IG history, I'd really like to see people post logs. Seriously. Come on. Please?

This is my absolute favorite log ever, probably my favorite scene ever, with a character that was definitely in my top five. I'd like to give some greatly-belated shout-outs, here.
Everyone in this scene was perfect. The imm providing me with echoes, I'm pretty sure, was Shalooonsh, the Sun Runner imm at the time. I received just enough info to figure out what to do without feeling like I was being led by the hand.
Queyne was the perfect little sycophantic half-elf wannabe. Unfortunately, he dropped link halfway through the scene (that's why he never answered Slaa's questions).
Slaa was great, too. The image of him shouting and demanding answers from the stone monument will always stand in my mind as the perfect example of what the Soh are. "Tell me what's going on here, unknowable supernatural force, or I will friggin' stab you!"

QuoteAt your table, you say in sirihish, to the wild-haired, lanky man:
     "Yeh talkin' 'bout m'pantsless Runner? Gage? Gage Gritshaw?"

At your table, rhe wild-haired, lanky man says in sirihish, with a shake of his head:
     "Shit, how many pantless people we got runnin' around theese days?"

At your table, you say in sirihish, with a few nods to the wild-haired, lanky man:
     "Aye, not refusin' drinks, pantsless'n brawlin' sure sounds like Gage."

At your table, the hale, scarlet-haired woman says in sirihish:
     "Too many huh."

At your table, the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette says in sirihish, raising a hand:
     "I am not wearing pants."

;D

Quote
Squinting at him, the monstrous, peg-legged mul asks the hulking, rip-scarred man, in sirihish:
     "Havn't I seen you before?"

Turning to look towards the monstrous, peg-legged mul, sticking out his bulky chest a bit, the hulking, rip-scarred man says, in northern-accented sirihish:
     "If ya' had, ya' would surely remember. I'm Gritshaw...Gage Gritshaw."

QuoteQuickly leaning forwards, obviously unnerved as he puffs out his bulky chest and points towards the short figure in a dusty ankle-length purple djellabah, the hulking, rip-scarred man says, in northern-accented sirihish:
     "I'm Gritshaw...Gage Gritshaw...Jus' so ya' know gicker...jus' so ya' know."

I was searching my logs for some Gage Gritshaw bits and instead stumbled over a scene where a PC of mine screamed "UP YOURS!" at somebody and then got yelled at in all caps for being fat.

I remember being on some a Kadian Silt Horror hunt under Sharlo.
Weather was horrible so we ended up giving up... for some reason we ended up at the far end of the Silt road.

Gage decides to go off after a black beetle in a horrendous sandstorm (couldn't see from the room the beetle was in, but we could watch from farther north).
Being able to WTF pwn a huge black beetle in blind solo melee combat while wearing only boots and a loincloth = winning Armageddon.

You may be right, but he won the game two weeks later. 

I was there when Tektolnes laid his sword at Gage's feet, after Gage beat up Chuck Norris.

And keep in mind that many of Gage's fans don't admire the guy because he was so tough, it was because he was so weird.

He's not.  Gage won.  I saw it ding.

Hey, I'm not necessarily disputing the judgment, just the criterion that was used to arrive at it.

I remember a character of mine and Gage getting into a fist fight just outside the gates of Tuluk with a Chosen and others watching.  It was pretty damn funny.

My character was Gage's right-hand-man right up to the end....

He gave me his codpiece.

And I wore it.

Gage is high of up on the list of my favorite Arma characters, and I'm very happy that one of my PCs was killed by The Man. But it wasn't his combat skills that made him a memorable badass.  Gritshaw was most likely a special app, given some advantages to compensate for his refusal to wear armor.  (more props if he wasn't, or if the advantages were minor in nature)

The same character, same personality quirks, would have been almost as awesome without the coded ability to pwn.  (though obviously, wouldn't have lasted quite as long)

I've had a lot of characters that didn't wear armor--it's possible to make an armor-less bad ass.

Yeah. Gage Gritshaw would kill you for suggesting he was a special app.

I remember him face down in the byn latrines.

I haven't looked at the log page in awhile -

I love this:  http://www.armageddon.org/original/showSubmission.php?submission=418

And this: http://www.armageddon.org/original/showSubmission.php?submission=419

SO clever.  I laughed.  A lot.

GAH It"S LIKE THEy ARE REAL NOBLES

I must have more.

The interactions I had with both of those nobles kicked so much ass that Tektolnes felt it.

GUH, I KNOW RIGHT,

i love you thialle, wherever you are

sorry i let ceylara steal me from you that one time

     Thanks for pointing those logs out, LM.  Great read!

After carefully rereading the Lapitia and Thialle logs three times, I have come to the important conclusion that they are some of the best logs I have ever read.  I feel they should be a television show or that Egan and Medena should be writing novels about scathing aristocracy together.  I am inspired and belittled.

Aja (Rairen) has some beautiful stuff as well, which I was very pleased to see, since I was never able to play with that character as much as I really wanted.

(Of course, I also have logs, which you should not neglect, as they are certainly very amazing, too, and epic - You lunge at the sleek, sun-kissed young woman, but your blow is deftly deflected by a crimson and grey striped skirt.)

I'm not sure if these logs are inspiring or just impressing. 

Kudos to the players.

I'm going to log in and then nod, chuckle, and smile faintly while wondering why I'm not more imaginative.

I vaguely remember being rude to the plump, prismatic-haired woman while trying to sell spice from the Labyrinth in my n00b days.

Maybe not though. The emotes and sdesc are familiar. Hmph.

But yeah, very nice read.

I remember having to deal with their freaking wedding.

And getting yelled at by a servant because she 'thought' I was a psion.... ::)

You idled so much, everyone thought that. An NPC psion, that is.

I'm so thankful for the logs page. Over the summer, my laptop was reduced to a smoldering heap of rubble. Thanks to all the logs I've submitted, my favorite Armageddon memories were one of the few things that survived the crash.
Submit your logs, people... before it's too late.

I email myself a zipped version of my entire Armageddon folder every single month.

I found a log of the strip kruth game between Zaea, Zharal, Flip, Markie, and Lao.
If you aren't familiar with this, the most epic of all Kruth games I've played, you should be.  I should clean up the log and submit the whole thing...
Lots of good stuff there.  I'll extract a few of my favorite lines and put them here, since they don't classify as one-liners for that other thread.

dusky woman, and kicks his boots off.
At your table, you say in sirihish, groaning as he discards your Kruth card: the Sun of Death:

Actually, given what I've read in the next segment of the log, I probably should clean up the log and submit it, this was hilarious.

... oh man. The memories.  ;D

I have a log.  I should submit it.
This is one eighth of part 1 of 9:

Quote>l
The Higher Tier Stands [E]
  These are the western and more opulant stands of the fighting pit of
Luir's Outpost, whose black stone walls and strangely horned buildings are
visible to the east.  While the walls of the pit below are built of stone,
the stands are wooden.  Rows of benches fill the lower section of this area
of the stands, with cleared areas for hawkers and those taking and making
bets.  A gracefully canopied section against the uppermost row of the stands
has properly cushioned chairs and is obviously set apart for those of some
standing.  
  A terrace staircase opens up to the east and leads out of the seating
area and the view below is of the red-stained sands of the fighting pit
itself.  
A shadow falls over the area, driving off the uncomfortable heat.
Lined up with the best view of the stage is a cloth-padded wooden bench.
The tall figure in an orange-crested, grey sandcloth cloak is standing here.

A thick mane of dark amber hair falls past this human woman's shouldersin waves, save for her bangs which are trimmed in spiky chunks to frame theperidot-hued orbs of her glittering eyes.  A feral, yellow-green in color,they peer past the long veils of her golden lashes above the refinedcrescents of her cheekbones.  A sensuously full mouth resides beneath theaquiline ridge of her nose, shadowed lightly by the slight flare of hernostrils.  Accenting the otherwise feminine features of her face with astrong, square line is a stubbornly-set jaw that leads down to her tonedneck and shoulders.  Beneath the covering of her tawny-gold skin, her petiteframe is shaped with a layer of toned muscle, giving her small body a solidbut graceful appearance.

Part 13 of 35

QuoteA Small Office [E]
   Many shelves line the walls of this room. Some have an occasional tablet
on them, but most of them are empty of tablets and dust alike. Odd objects
rest here and there, drawing the eye. The floor of this room is composed of
large squares of worn boabab wood that creak softly at each step. A single
lamp hangs from the wooden ceiling in the middle of the room.
   A large, darkly-stained agafari desk presides over one side of the room.
A simple agafari chair is drawn up behind it, with a couple more standing in
front. Several small rugs of finely woven dark-red cloth cover the floor.
A keg of fiery amber-orange liquor is here in the back.

Man, I liked me some Silif.

I'm editting a log right now that pertains directly to him but is actually uhh... some stuff that happened after the PC was gone.  Let's just say the log is badass and it took me awhile to find it.

Will most likely take me awhile to edit it too.

I really really want to see what Muk looked like..another Rpt I missed.  Do I have to wait til he's dead to see a log?

I've put up logs from this event. Note - these were my own logs and as such are a little different from most players. I split the log in to parts based on which NPC I was inhabiting to try and lesson the confusing feel of them.  I've also left in some of the things that staff see that players do not, to give a more rounded view of what was going on.

It's when I was playing Agent Oseres Kadius in 2003~2004.  It's long, and has combat spam in it...  But I don't care, because it shows off the game and how it works.

Seconded and thirded.  I'm so glad someone posted those logs, because mine died with my old computer.  Thank you!  It was such a treat to experience that event again.

In case you just want to see Him:

This large man towers at least eight feet above the ground, much larger
and taller than most other men.  From his head, crimson braids, the color of
wet blood upon a battlefield, cascade down his massive, muscular back.  His
features appear to be the work of some master sculptor, where every nuance
must be pleasing and familiar to the eye, the flat planes of his face
chiseled and stern, yet personable and illuminated with perfect health.  His
tan skin almost seems to glow with a brilliant light, and his dark eyes seem
to be filled with endless depths of wisdom, knowledge, and humor regarding
all they survey. 
The immense, crimson-braided man is in excellent condition.

<worn around neck>       a sunburst decorated silk shoulder-cape
<slung across back>      an old runed, ivory-hilted steel greatsword
<worn on torso>          a loose tunic of white silk
<worn around wrist>      a ruby-set silver bracelet
<worn on right finger>   a bejewelled golden ring
<worn on left finger>    a ruby-jeweled golden ring
<worn as belt>           a white and flame-red silk scarf
<worn on legs>           a pair of white silk pantaloons
<worn on feet>           a pair of silver-toed leather boots

Holy awesome, those just made my day.

Wow.

that shit was totally cash compared to the last Grey Hunt Announcement. Fuhhhhhhh....

That time was my favorite time ever on Armageddon, I had a great character, surrounded by great characters, with lots of great events and fun almost on a daily basis.

I miss that time :(

NOW I wish I had pulled a knife during that scene, SO BAD.

emote casually picks at ^me fingernails with ~dagger

That was really a treat to read  :D

... Oh, man.  Man, man, man, man.  Holy can of spam, batman.  I can't believe you managed to prep that so well.  Thank you so much for doing that!

Note to all. It is bad to power emote for other people, do not do so unless you have the might of Muk Utep to back you up.    :D

My favorite part was when the tall, muscular man took the stage.

I was sooo sure that he was going to do something stupid, like try to attack someone or emote something really dumb :)

You all make me jealous I missed the last 4 YEARS of Arm. 2004 to 2008. UGH. So much fun was missed. I should have been there. ~sniffles~

Wow.  Awesome read.

I like the dragon dude who furrowed his brows at Muk. 8)

Awesome read, but I really never did figure out what MUK is.  Is he a sorcerer like Tek?

Or just someone who has the ability to make people fall in love with him and lots of metal?

He later shit brix because it looked like Paryl loved Muk, then decided his King must be a mindbender because obviously Allanaki superheroes would think Muk was a dick. There, now you guys know why my favourite PC was always so skeeved out by his own city.

Totally epic scene, though, it was my favourite Armageddon event since the whole Copper War/Golden Summer 2006 business. Good on you, imms! Good on you, players!

His tan skin almost seems to glow with a brilliant light, and his dark eyes seem
to be filled with endless depths of wisdom, knowledge, and humor regarding
all they survey. 

He can also shoot wisdom, knowledge, and humor out of his eyes.

Probably also lasers.

Muk gets a lot of special exceptions.

I bet if you had a sorc live 10+ RL years, they'd let you have wisdom shooting out your eyes as well.

It would be smart to note that it is unlikely that commoners or even nobles think about their Kings as Sorcerers. Not impossible, but unlikely. In the back of your mind, you might know, but nearly never at the front of your mind.

Also - if you take the time to read the staff stories written about Muk Utep you would get much more of a clue as to why Muk Utep could do what he did. Yes, he's a power emoter but he's got the skillz to back it up.

Like Venomz said - your in game characters are very very unlikely to ever equate sorceror or anything else so lowly to their God-King. Tek and Muk are just that, deities, royalty, above it all.

I loves me some Muk.

Muk is sexy.

I noticed that, and thought it was really nifty.

I'm also a Muk fan, and wrote both of his descriptions (yep, his wisdom lasers are my fault).

I even wrote a Muk Utep poster object to put on the wall of my staff room.  Back when I was on staff.

A shiny, tattered poster of Muk Utep has been taped to the wall.

I didn't log that, it was funny to see Thrend going batshit about having supported the candidate Utep picked.  That seemed so long ago!

To Paryl and Laila:

I find your lack of faith disturbing....

;)

We almost defected. But I swear it wasn't our fault! :)

You know, I had to work the night that occurred, and I was pissed the whole time because Khortoc was going to crash the party just to be a dick to the templars (one of whom he had told to eat a dick and die, as well as fuck herself, on a couple occasions).

I'm really, really glad I had to work that night.

Not much coming out of him, though. He always preserved his precious fluids.

It gets more funny if you know the back history. The Rinthi kid, Cross, was convinced that whores existed only to stab people (and no, she did not mean with that sword). Any and every whore exisited to get you naked, so they could stab you, and then steal your money. In an effort to convince her that whores were fun and did not stab people, Pearl hired a whore. The whore proptly draws a blade and stabs him. Amazingly enough, this only re-enforced Cross' notions.  ;)

 ;D

I just loved having a whore with a warsword. I called it my whoresword.

That was so fucking badass.

*gunner has a newfound respect for whore's and warswords

Man, that ruined everything.

IF ONLY YOU KNEWWWWW

A few questions about that log, Fusoya...
since I still feel like a frikin' noob and don't understand the whole game yet...

HOW do you sever a PC's toe?
HOW do you one-hit-kill a PC with just a torch?

Are these all coded abilities or what?  ???

You wish up during the scene for immortal assistance, and they load the objects, kill the player, make the echoes, and so forth.

That's not to say they'll oblige if you wish up about running someone through when you should just fall back to the code, but... in this situation, the aggressors decidedly had the upper hand.

And to expand on this some, that specific event was a culmination and a critical point for a lot of different plots, so the immortals knew very much so what was going on, and I wouldn't even be surprised if it was set up with staff, too. Not the outcome, but the event itself. Immortals don't usually assist players in killing one another unless it's like in this case, where the effects needed weren't outrageous and giving anyone an upper hand, really.

Your best bet, for interactions like this, is to keep your immortals informed with weekly or bi-weekly updates about current plots, that way they're well-equipped to help you with things like this.

Oh, the staff.
D'oh!  :-[

Major underused resource.

QuoteWith a backwards swat of his hand behind him, the chiseled, mercurial-tressed man says to the shapely, brunette young woman, in sirihish:
     "Hush, Uhatu."

The shapely, brunette young woman melodramatically ducks the back-swatted hand, and continues to groom at the chiseled, mercurial-tressed man`s hair, resuming her humming.

I could picture that so well. Like...something out of a Disney movie. I love it!

I just approved a lot of entries. Good reads.

I recommend the two par-tay logs. This has nothing to do with the fact I submitted them. >.>

The second party log was hilarious.  I feel this just about sums it up -

The rugged, stubble-bearded templar just stares on in disbelief, speechless.

Shit, I submitted that as a story.  Should've been a log!  Also shouldn't highlight every...well, nevermind.  You know how the submission tool can be.  It took a lot of time and editing but I submitted the bios of Thrend.  They are subjective as hell, and midway through I switched to first person because it felt more personal than third person.  I am a bad biographer and did not submit several things that should've been written about.

The Rairen logs were a real treat, and I was surprised to see that one of them lined up with one of my bios.

''The only variable I had no control over was the woman herself, and an
unexpected, unforeseen development: she was a complete idiot.''

Truer words were never spoken. lulz.

Oh man. I love the entry about Leisera/Zharal. It is so spot on for what I was trying to portray.

The friendly hate between those two was a fucking riot.

A few of those entries brought my nice little optimistic assumptions crashing down.

When Lord Didrik answers 'no', Kishime asks politely if he may see the necklace in order to inspect it. It's a trick.

Sometimes I still miss Zach. He was my longest lived PC to date, after all.

And for the record, he was totally modelled after Jack Sparrow.

Finally

I found some logs that I had never submitted (mostly because in the latter case I had to wait til everyone was dead or stored, then forgot).

This is for anyone concerned about Tuluki subtlety.  There are varying degrees!  I don't know if it helps or not, this is an example of a lot of stuff.

I logged this really weird meeting at staff request and edited out any really sensitive bits, but maybe it'll be amusing.

Very nice read. Both of them.  :)

Looks like there is a now art work and a story too.

Hm, the outpost one makes me want to a d-elf.

Yeah, I wrote that story, and the third new log. Bynnerly goodness.

That was one of my favorite moments as well. Great log, d00d. The Byn is significantly awesome when Veterans play the newbs in the Byn.

Apparently, my log (http://www.armageddon.org/original/showSubmission.php?submission=582) was uploaded but it's no where in the page to be found. I manually inputted the numbers at the end of the URL link until I found it.

RAT: Seeing the stats from the Kyrl log blew my mind. I've been playing for a year thinking that Average/Average/Good/Very was a good stat roll.

I didn't even realize that log (http://www.armageddon.org/original/showSubmission.php?submission=590) got put up.  Where's that one log thread when you don't want to go looking for it?   ;)

And a 'thanks' shout out to Taven for finding the right thread.  *nodnod*

I will post this here as well, please do not fish our website for content by putting random numbers into URL lines.  If you believe your submission should be on the Original Submissions page and you haven't received a denial, let me know and I'll look into it.

Aww, you're welcome. I should really submit some more logs soon, but the last time I tried it did wacky formatting stuff. Also I'd like to submit them all at once, and there's so much crap to look through.

Guys, remember to always make a separate log file of an event right after it occurs. It will save you so much time, you have no idea. Also, if you add the date immediately after it happens, you know exactly when you can submit it.

I'm going to have some pretty stellar logs in a year plus, let me tell you.

Neat I got to see the aftermath of two of my character's deaths in the logs. I just can't help but wondering if the other pcs missed the peraine arrow to the neck or just chose to not notice it? Answers only bring more questions I guess.

It's in "stories" rather than "logs" ... but it's a log.

It rolls down stairs.

http://www.armageddon.org/original/showSubmission.php?submission=598

It's not an awesome log. But it was a scene that highly amused me. Kudos to those involved ... alas, that I never kudoed ye.

Ruji baby! Yea! Or Skeletor. Or the biggest douche templar of all time. ;D God I miss him. :-[

He once questioned a pair of Tuluki travelers in hymn rhyme because he believed it was appropriate. 8)

Eeeee! I remember Wehga. :D
Best sweet old perverted 'Rinthi lady evar. xD
Coincidentally, also one of the only wigglers Doshek didn't try to kill when he was on that, "Magickers? In -my- alleys!? Killthemkillthemkillthem!" kick.

Apparently Rairen posted her slew of Aja logs! Everybody freak out. (How did I miss this for this long?) What a wonderful character Aja was. I think she's the only PC I've kudo'd twice (on different PCs of my own, of course.) Awesomely, one of my PCs made it into one of her posted "memoirs". I learned a ton about all aspects of emote presentation from Aja.

Is it just me, or do all the dates on there says December 31, 1969?

IIRC, it's a bug in the script. So no, not just you.

Googling that date was kinda interesting.  Give it a go :)

Also, Chrome thinks 'googling' isn't a word.  That's kinda funny.

That's because in fact, it's not a word by definition, it's slang. Google+Searching=Googling, Fuck may be considered a word, but it's actually an acronym standing for 'Fornicate Under Command of the King' refering to a decree by James I, I think, in response to a decline in the population due to several decades of war. After it became to boring to say out fully, people were just told to, Fuck for England, which in turn, just became Fuck.

Give it another five years by todays standards and it'll be in the dictionary.

b) I'm going to tease you a little... because I know the first batch were posted in 2009.  Ah, better late than never.

c) The log editor is the bane of my existence.

I have fixed the issue with the dates on the author page.

I guess I'm about a month late, and normally I'm not even the type to call for attention. However, I thought some people might find two things about this log interesting. First, it features my wife and I roleplaying together about two or three years before we met in person (a point up until which we hated each other) and second, the players of both other pcs came to our wedding.

Ain't the Armageddon community grand?

Woah, three of them.  How did I miss the new ones.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Dang, that reminds me......

Same, I think I have something good to post too.

No offense to other dwarves, but she played a dwarf the best I've seen so far.

Yeah, it's always good to see female dwarves where they should be: virtually raising children in the apartment.

Gahhh I loved Onyxi. Makes me want to give the player a second kudos. <3

Well roleplayed.  I'm jealous of the consistent usage of think and feel!
