I'm the player of multiple characters across three accounts. I don't think I have what would be called a "main" but I think [[Aleid]] and [[Avalera]] would be in the running for the title if so.

Tables: When making a table for verb traps, this seems to be the most often-used style: '''<nowiki>{| {{prettytable|background:#F0F8FF;height:15px;}}

My Random Ideas

  • A crier that calls out a random ship as it's pulling into a harbor, once an hour. Never the same ship twice in a row, just random fun, with an option for the captain to turn off.
"Ahoy, the Prosperous Violet Wave Runner is pulling into North Haven Quay, Green Pier!"

What does this mean?

In game messages that I'm unfamiliar with:

  • You sense an unknown presence fade from your mind.
