    Ever since I found the "New" Imperian (I slept through "Old" Imperian, and it sounds like that was lucky for me), I can never quite believe it exists and I'm almost constantly afraid it will turn into Achaea (not that Achaea is completely horrible or anything, but it definitely has a lot more problems/annoyances that are probably absolutely typical in this kind of gaming).  And by that I mean both mechanics and daily management, and how those things come out in the way the player base behaves, in game and even on here.  

    I know some of that awesomeness is really fragile.  One example being when we had someone come back from dormancy, and immediately try to resurrect what is probably a pretty typical set of rules requiring people to call one another by titles and salute and such (in the name of "RP" of course, but in practice it seems to help a certain kind of player be a jerk, frankly).  It was quashed, this time.  Of course, that sort of stuff is still largely in player hands (which is also why it's such a fragile thing), but a lot of overarching things are completely thanks to admin decisions here, too many things to discuss in a forum post really, and thankfully, there's not a need to do so right now, but it's interesting to me that Imperian seems to have had a history of players being fairly miserable for a long time (just like a lot of other games, I'm sure), and managed to turn that around pretty spectacularly.  In short, I just hope this all lasts.  I know a lot of it should, because it's underpinned by mechanics grounded in years of experience (like no XP loss) and the way admin approaches us, but I'm always nervous, because I do think that the way things are here is very atypical.

    Fensrun utters a short incantation, her body slowly fading from sight. Only her laboured breathing

    There's a park called Father Demo Square on my way to work. perfectly plausible! I liked Monkee the monk from last week, and Killerbeez from the one before last.

    'fate has cast down these heroes, and their light now threatens to fade...'

    sounds like SquareEnix read Bathan101.

    Iniar's longsword

    an antiquated draconian longsword

    Striking in design, this longsword belongs to another age. It is twin-bladed with the blades fashioned with 
    such intricate ornateness that it is no small wonder that the blade has not yet fractured at its thinnest 
    edges. Shaped in the forms of two large draconian reptiles, these blades well disguise the cutting edges as 
    the ridged backs of the serpents. The design of the edge is such that light would reflect off it unevenly. 
    Firmly struck through a wide hilt, the twin-blades dominate the visual appeal of the longsword with the carved 
    ferocity reflected in the snarling visages of the two dragons. The hilt has been wrought with equal mastery, 
    no expense spared as the grip is studded with precious stones of varying hues.
    (Ring): Lartus says, "I heard Theophilus once threw a grenade and killed ten people."
    (Ring): Lartus says, "Then it exploded."

    (Ring): Zsetsu says, "Everyone's playing checkers, but Theophilus is playing chess."

    I heart hearing my roommate in the bathtub (when I was about to go take a 10 minute shower real quick but nope, and who uses soap), taking a bath, and all of a sudden a couple loud crashes and bangs, proceeded by tons of foul sailor words.

    KARMA, WOMAN.Not sure what happened but I approve.

    @Celosyi, what's wrong with sailor words?
