Ah, good ole year 400. A pretty fine Raaneki Heartwine vintage year I believe, only thing I really remember coming out of it

Well, it's been a while now but if that's the case I'm thinking it seems like time for the UN/Razdis to start looking at what all is beneath their lands. Dark and ancient secrets connected to primordial level stuff it sounds like, and that means cool artifacts and power right? Surely not death and destruction for the surface. Poke the unknown with a pointy stick!

That reminds me...

No, but I've made enough enemies that I get portrayed that way anyway.

I'm just known as more talkative and interested in trading everywhere possible, and am basically the most economic individual nation. If you're gonna fluff a country, might as well make it memorable.

Yeah, this is exactly true. Meddling's kind of a new thing though, in large part because Inigo gets (got?) bored easily, and was given a curse by his father. (See the Silver Wyrm thread)

Sadly, the round ended before I could write a post about how it was vomiting up spawn in the ruins of the city it had devoured.

*edit*
The Balefrog, that is.

Good to be clear on matters like this, no?

Guilder: Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons since 425.

Precisely! Glad to see someone gets the tragic Hamartia of my people at long last!

**TheDarkDM** · 2014-08-30, 05:49 PM (ISO 8601)

Much better to do the wrong thing for the wrong reasons with style.

Haha, and this is why I like the Tzaltec so much.

Better to do the wrong thing and have it be the right thing regardless.

I just realized my favorite Loki Ethmorl quote has never been included in any of my posts. Considering it's based off of one of my philosophical insights that I'm more proud of, that needs to be rectified.

For further insight: zombie invasion, attempted Lord of Fire summoning.

Honestly, the latter is quite possibly one of my most favourite RP threads ever. The culmination of over half a century of plot, involving the armies and peoples of several countries and the reincarnated rulers of multiple major religions fighting against a self-righteous monk who, faced with the inevitability of death, is driven to madness. It had great characterization of the relationships between the characters and players involved.

Having Greta go Maximum Blazing Avatar without it devolving into a fight thread, plus a ship arriving from the spirit world with the souls of all the original rulers (minus Marius) and having the cherry on top be the Doomkhan shouting slurs about his granddaughter made it a total blast for me.

Better to do the dramatic thing for unknown reasons and have it turn out to be the awesome thing.

Speaking of dramatic events, would it be alright if I run a little something next turn?

So long as my ruler is not required to attend.

**Morph Bark** · 2014-08-31, 01:57 PM (ISO 8601)

By the way, Burch, if you come across your friend Eat again, poke him for me. I PM'd him with a link to my post of acceptance of his region write-up (as long as he's sure about using real osmium) and some other related info.

Always the comic relief eh Logic?

Seriously, I really want to see how this plays out.

I've got a much more serious idea planned for the next event. I promise.

In regards to your plot, I currently have 4 ladies of House Nisakovich who are of marriageable age. One is even present at the coronation and if Galina's being mute is a deterrent, it is an extremely recessive trait found in the Niskan nobility so any children with a non-Niskan are most unlikely to inherit it. (Her twin brother is not mute, he just doesn't like to talk much)

Also, for anyone interested I have a few unmarried men of House Nisakovich who are of marriageable age.

Mute is fine, but you have to accept webbed fingers and toes. They are dominant trait of House Noth, and many Celerii as well.

Good for you. Watch out though, as I just found out today, the second Monday is frikken brutal.

Well, if he's in the US then he had the day off.

*edit*
And I just checked and it looks like he's decidedly not. Well, sorry Morph.

Yeah... I felt kinda guilty that I hung out for all of today...

We had the day off? I just slept in.

But seriously I just woke up and I totally forgot what day it was.

Lucky you. I also slept in today, but since I go to a private institution that doesn't use all holidays, I missed both breakfast and ten minutes of my first class

**Aedilred** · 2014-09-01, 04:33 PM (ISO 8601)

I didn't have the day off any more than usual, and also stayed in bed, accomplishing precisely nothing. So hooray.
