This is true and if you refer to my request tool dump you'll see he treated me inappropriately as well. That isn't the point though because Nyr is probably the one person I don't think could post here because his personality precludes it and there is likely way to much bad blood.
But Nyr being of questionable moral character doesn't mean that my point isn't valid in relation to Adhira and other senior staff.

One or two PCs have attained metal items and did wear them. Qoriya had 1-2 metal items, nobles all have metal rings, and the SR have a metal scimitar in their camp.

Lets be blunt and honest here... People have, on this board, posted commentary and opinions of the senior staff that are very critical and some would say to harsh. I do not think that it is unreasonable for any of those people who have been harshly criticized to have trepidation in posting here or a desire to not be associated with the board at all.
Do I think Adhira should post here? Sure she's the owner (I think) and this board is dedicated to her game. Do I think LESS of Adhira for not posting here? No.

I still think someone clever-er than me needs to make our shadowboard hatecycle meme.

Do you mean what happened for the closure RPT or the general story?

Already asked if Adhira would be willing to come post here. People that know her said she would not because she doesn't want to subject herself to barbs and insults of the board. (think it was even in this thread)
Can't really blame her if she makes an active effort to avoid reading the board because it will bring stress into her day (if she's already having real life concerns). Than it's not like she's reading or ghost posting here and not willing to come out. It's just that she doesn't want anything to do with the board.
That being said, I think Jazet coming and posting on the thread dedicated to their game showed that the shadowboard isn't going to tear someone limb from limb. Maybe another staffer would be interested? I think anyone but Nyr could probably post here with a reasonable response.

From my experience you want a long baobab staff (order from Salarr) because it can pass as a walking stick ICly and I suspect it gets a bonus to parry, which is always nice.

For anyone who cares, due to request(s) by players in my Elrum log I cannot post it in full. It's simply to big for me to edit out the content that needs to be edited out because I am an un-repenting mud slut O.O , no but really the files are to big for me to edit using notepad++ it causes an error that wipes the entire text of the document.
Since I know most people read these for their own characters appearing, if you want any specific scenes or all references of a character or a particular RPT. Just post here or message me and I'll siphon it out for you. I might take the time to post some of the more fun snippits like Elrum meeting Stellvia borsail to assassinate her if she killed Rissa (Nyr's character).

Be strong for us jcarter, be strong against those who assail you from beyond the Wall and within. The silicon throne will someday have its King.

To answer Ghaati's post regarding my question about traffic %...
The reason I asked Jcarter about it was because in the Byn thread, Kronibas supposed that the staff were targeting shadowboard posters in the RPT that has been discussed to death. One of his points of fact was that the people who died were active shadowboard posters. I replied okay sure but the shadowboards traffic and membership has increased significantly so it's almost like saying hey they targeted GDBer. He didn't think the shadowboard userbase was that big, I said I think it's 50% of the GDBs or greater. He said I don't know about that. I said (like I normally say) hey lets just ask.
I don't care how big the boards userbase is, I was just trying to make a point that just because something bad happens to someone who reads or posts on this board isn't statistically significant enough to cite because of how many people do nowadays.
EDIT - So lets not go down this rabbit hole. The only relevance the number had was to make my point as stated above.

I missed the 2nd day of the RPT because there was a post on the GDB about mixed up times and I went out to play poker. I will see what I can get on it and I will post my extremely short log on tuesday.

It's a shame the Circle is closing. One of the requirements to advance once you're a Seeker is getting mastercraft instrumentmaking (which all circle bards can get with staff assistance) and making a personalize normally unique instrument design to demonstrate you're competent in that field. Steal a bards unique instrument and you'll generate an RPT or 5.

I posted a clarifying post while you were typing RGS.
EDIT - Double clarification. I am fine with PCs dying. I want to avoid them dying because staff made mistakes in balancing difficulty or combat code. I believe that trips into the Grey where we know kryl swarm and the waves get bigger and bigger overtime should be able to kill people. Especially if they stay forever and don't pull back at any point. I believe that if you have an RPT in the silt sea that if you want to have a silt horror bump the raft and knock someone off it, have that someone be an NPC, unless a PC is intentionally emoting being in a situation that would make them open to being a red-shirt death due to a silt horror emote.
So!
Go into the Grey where Kryl are with the intent of fighting them or exploring an area you know/don't know might be dangerous? Kill em if they should die due to the IC reality of their situation.
Go to the silt sea on a skimmer where a silt horror is echoed bumping the skimmer. Have an NPC wilhelm scream and fall off the skimmer to die in the silt, not a PC. Have the PCs die when the silt horror gets onto the skimmer and eats all of them.

Quick addition - If staff tried (assuming they don't already) to limit PC death to proper IC reactions with no OOC consideration than eventually characters would get old enough that they'd desire a cool death (like RGS)! Thus if you invade the gith mesa, yeah you gonna die even if you have a large force you will probably take losses. There's also the old, newbie does something stupid and the oldbie goes to hold back NPCs while buying the newbie time and potentially dying for their heroics. Also totally cool... So you see eventually people will end up using RPTs to kill themselves off... O.O or maybe they do already, OMG.
