[GM] Seizure of the Red Crystal Den by order of the Octarch

[cdmoreland]

[OOC]  Anyway, all that aside, there is something which it seems many of you are forgetting:  So the GMs treated you callously and uncompassionately?  Aren't those GMs playing the roles of government?  It would seem to me that they are performing their roles well, whether deliberately, decidedly, or otherwise.

If their roll was to p o the 2 biggest guilds in the game and lower the player base, they did well.

[Dilihin]

It's been more than a year and people are still at this? 

Anyway i agree with Can-ned Food on this one, GM team is roleplaying the goverment as well, and in my opinion, they did well on this one when remembering that goverment isn't supposed to fullfill every wish of citizens.

I have the feeling that the YANCA event on 11th of March will finally be the reopening of the house that was the Den more than one year ago. I brought up the house still being locked down at the last Dev Q&A and maybe finally we see a reopening of it.

Although from the event page itself it seems like YANCA would be located in Ojaveda. So I am a bit confused.

[Emaline]

Not sure why you get the feeling it's for Ojaveda. You are correct YANCA will reopen, re-branded and renamed in the place that used to be known as the RCD. 

[Tidebringer]

That confusion would be caused by the... interesting choice of screenshot for the YANCA opening event's image in the calendar.

[Shatterkiss]

I'd swear that's a screenshot for a guildhouse auction.

[Aeghiss]

You actually can't trust the image shown on the calendar... It's not the first time an off-topic image from a previous event appears on the page for some reason.

* Emaline sighs

  I told Sorka to change that....

I see the confusion now. I thought it was something I said in my post.

[Sarko]

Did you ?   

[Emaline]

Did you ?   

I swear I did....probably one of the reasons you kept calling me boss, cause I was being bossy...I just checked my IRC and forum logs however and I can't find it to prove it... so I must have told you in game! But I know I did! But more importantly it still looks like the it's the pic for the last guild house auction

[A dialog with Kaerli which shows Damola´s IC reaction to the reopening of the house that once was the Den]

One day after the opening, as Damola returned from a family visit in the lower realms:

Kaerli smiles and waves "Hey there Damola"

Damola mutters silently "So… that is now, what once was the Den."
Damola watches the newly decorated entrance and then glances over to the billboard

Kaerli nods "Aye. I actually did a magic act for the opening"

Damola then looks to Kaerli then "I wasn´t able to attend yesterday, but maybe it was better this way. Too many memories."
Damola sighs and then moves to the billboard.
Damola says: Hmm, okay the opening invitation.
Damola sighs again "It might be a shock for me, but I gonna look inside."
Damola breathes deeply and then opens the door, stepping through the entrance.
Damola looks around.
Damola enters the stage and then looks into the room "Well the stage is definitely bigger, but at the same time this is not a den anymore."
Damola looks to Kaerli "What do you think of it?"

Kaerli says: Aye, it's definitely more performance-hall and less tavern...

Damola says: Well… to me it feels…
Damola shrugs and goes up the stairs on the other side
Damola returns to Kaerli her eyes a bit wet "I don´t even feel anything."

Kaerli says: Just...too different?

Damola says: Is that it?
Damola says: Is that what the Octarchy was able to come up with in such a long time?

Kaerli nods "It seems so..."

Damola shrugs again "I hope at least that citizens of Yliakum will bring life into this. It feels… like being build as being planned, it doesn´t feel organic to me."

Kaerli says: I hope so as well

Damola couldn´t hide the disappointment in her face, but she asks "So you did a performance at the opening?"

Kaerli nods "Aye."
Kaerli says: A magic act, using Brown Way
Kaerli says: It drew a fair bit of praise, but did wind up making a few folks nervous

Damola smiles "Well some people may be cautious regarding magic, probably for good reasons"

Kaerli nods "I probably should have asked beforehand, yes..."

Damola giggles "Well I think I wouldn´t mind, unless you would let me fly around the area without my permission or so."

Kaerli laughs "I doubt you would"

Damola ponders "Well, its all so empty in here at the moment… so right now I see no point in staying here. I´d rather go to another place now."

Kaerli says: Kada's work for you?

Damola says: I bet it would.

[Damola]

[A little note here: That was Damola´s first IC reaction. As a player I am happy the house is open again.]

[cdmoreland]

How did this work out for everyone? Waesed is back!

[Damola]

Well, the YANCA is open. I believe there have been some events, but not all that many.

Damola did not engage with it so far. So other may be able to fill in what happened there so far.

[cdmoreland]

I know that it's all "water under the bridge" now. No one is left to even hold an event of any scale.
