Musings

Post by Sanguine » Sat May 14, 2022 3:02 am

This is just an expression of how I felt tonight. It's no one's fault, really. But when I log on and this is the wholist (4 statters deleted, and I am assuming the other side is quite dead):
Players
-------
Sanguine a'Sal
Wodn , Warden of West Jafar.
Tolza of Murandy
Tazun the Sergeant [Ever Victorious Army]
6 Ahri the Uiwa'damane [Damane]
Lamora Nai'Gar
Drulo of Rampore
7 Lord Shinji Moraed, Captain-General of the Corenne [Morat'torm Council]
Jala the Mosiev'damane [Damane]

13 players displayed.
What's the practical/gameplay difference compared to logging onto something like this:
Players
-------
Sanguine a'Sal
Sorvitor the Ramshorned Trolloc
Tolza of Murandy
Zerpit the Boarheaded Trolloc
6 Byrg "badfade2" Neverborn [Myrddraal]
Ghast the Master Havoc [Ko'bal Master]
Volpaia the Darkling [Dha'vol]
7 Erulak the Lurk [Myrddraal]
Munk [Dhai'mon]

13 players displayed.
Do I alt to SS to join despite not wanting to? Do I rent? Do I solo stuff in hopes they don't locate me since they see me on wholist? Do I alt to DS? Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? I don't have a solution, I'm just noting it. FWIW, I ended up renting for the night.

SS was doing a master quest. Most of the time, it's about the same numbers during this point of the day e.g. post-boot.
* HP:Healthy MV:Full > Within an Immense War Room
What was used to be the manor's banquet hall has now been converted into a
command post, teeming with dozens of Imperial personnel - processing
information and making decisions which determine the lives of countless
more across Imperial battlegrounds in the Westlands. At the centre of the
chamber sits a titanic sand model of incredible detail, uncannily
resembling the terrain of Arad Doman and Tarabon.
[ obvious exits: E S W ]
A draught of a strange bubbling liquid has been left here.
A lump of brown matter sits here wrapped in string looking uninviting. [3]
A small thin vial has been left here. [2]
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table.
Drulo of Rampore is standing here.
A sleek well-trained torm glares fiercely about.
Rapchrlou the Recruit is standing here.
Lamora Nai'Gar is standing here.
Ahri the Uiwa'damane is standing here leashed to a sul'dam.
A sul'dam stands here, holding Ahri's leash.
Camille the Damane, leashed to Alyena Sul'dam is standing here leashed to a sul'dam.
A sul'dam stands here, holding Camille's leash.

Staring down her nose a scribe performs her duties here.

The numbers are usually flipped so that's how I normally feel too. I will be leveling up / solo smobbing and some civil watch or wolfbro or kin comes waltzing up to our lands to stab/zing/bash us.

Well, what should I do?

This is an easy one. Play LS.

Personally, I know the things I like to do on this game, and if I notice I can't do them for whatever reason, then I do something non-mud related.

when I log on SS then I typically want to PvE. But, there are a few FCs who will loc life me (by name? I'm not entirely sure how it works) everytime I log on. If I go anywhere east of ef then they show up without fail, and I can't do things like the southern/northern smob chains without getting ported on. I just swap to LS where I can do the same thing safely. If I'm not looking to RP, then I don't really care what my character name is. Smobbing is smobbing at the end of the day, imo and SS has some fun folk to do it with.
