Another year passes and EFU remains to entertain us all. 2014 EFU may have ended with a number and rants and raves, but in the end we can take from it one massively important factor, and that is quite simply the respect and dedication so many have for our little fantasy world. So many people volunteer their time (thanks DM staff) and put in huge efforts as players in order to make this the best place around to do what we do, and so maybe some of us should step back and think about how we can make it even better next year.
If you can do three things differently this year in order to help improve the place, what would they be?
Mine are:
- Stop being a whiner / troll in IRC
- Lackey for WWIND and make her hit the prominent figures list
- Open the dumpster lids once more, and try to return some class and prestige to the antagonistic side of things. Since Wiggy has finally revealed himself and will no longer uphold said role, well, I feel it is my duty to try.
-Stop being such a jackass.
-Drink less. (see first resolution)
-Play more.
Happy New Year!
- For 2015, I will have no lapses of sanity in my conduct on EFU.
I'll cross out this post if that doesn't quite work out. The lunacy can be strong in me.
- Throughout 2015, I will have no lapses of sanity in my conduct on EFU.
I'll cross out this post if that doesn't quite work out. The lunacy can be strong in me.
-Try to be proactive
-Try to lead a player faction
-Try to embrace the conflict the above brings, rather than shy from it
-Most importantly, lead by example. I have a bad habit of giving advice I myself don't follow.
Clink your glasses together, lads and lasses, and let's see ourselves into the New Year with smiles on our faces and other profound quotes and shit. Whatevs.
-Be less of a softie and employ harsher punishments to other PCs when warranted. That's the only thing that needs to change!
Finally bite the bullet and roll something 8 INT.
-Make a second character.
-Do not kill again... (Unless it's self defense.)
-Play more EFU (Avoid confrontation with radical terrorists and drug dealers.)
-Make far less controversial resolutions for next year. (Someone out there probably thinks I'm kidding.)
My new year resolutions are:
1) Manage RL and IG better
2) Be consistent and patient
3) Role play characters as people rather than role play their goals/bios.
That's a nice thread.
Mine are:
1) Bitch less on IRC and just focus on having fun.
2) Involve myself in a bit more PvP so those PvP quirks will go away (I suck so hard in PvP)
3) Dumpster a Gracken PC
Run a plot involving VanillaPudding to completion, so he'll stop guilt tripping me every time I log on IRC. ;-)
- Stay out of that one cell in Serena Tower
Our very good friend VP asked for '3' resolutions, so leave the weak-sauce.
Also, my answers were in no-way ironic or sarcastic. I mean it. Can't promise, but mean it.
- pay more attention to what I type before I send it in game
- don't get banned from an irc channel
- stop eating so many fungoins and doritos at my keyboard and remembering always to wash my hands afterwards
-invest less time into efu in general
-fight a vp character 1v1 and win
- stop using so much onomatopoeia, no more grunts, groans, and growls in word form ugh
-less gossiping
-less whining
-make a pc my bitch
-Make 100,000gp
-Find a way to make SC dm again
- Revamp Bilbies with more dogs.
Get an app passed...
A proper one though would have to be;
- Stop being as much of a complete wanker sometimes.
- Be a little more positive/patient.
- Finding something to destroy before I let myself rant, especially on IRC where it just turns toxic.
- Actually learn some kickass stuff about the setting/lore and get the ball rolling on a few things.
-Seek out the relics of omnipotence, and ascend my throne true, as the prophecies proclaim as the Master Of Lore
-Have a pc play out their story from start to NPC retirement
-Finish building and submit one area to the DM team.
[Hide=Real Resolutions]
-Obtain a 4.0 in my upcoming semesters of college
-Get a job that pays more then 10$ an hour
-Become certified in first-aid and CPR
[/Hide]
- Murder Ryan
- Murder Thomas
- Murder CD
- Murder Robocop
- Murder Stranger
- Murder Tala
- Murder Gracken
- Murder Hound
- Make SC DM again
- Never trust doctors at face value ever again. I've managed to find what seems to be a slow but steady cure to a debilitating condition I've suffered with for two years by reneging on the advice of my GP and doing my own research, followed by doing the opposite of what the drugs prescribed to me were doing to my body. Being able to wake up with almost no pain is a liberating feeling I've not had for a long time, so I recommend that anyone else suffering from a painful condition do all the research they can into their own situation and see if there are other answers than the one the doctor ineffectually pushes at you.
- Fix my pc so I can douse my EFU withdrawl.
- Find more Tempered kinnies.
- Learn to pvp.

Such lofty goals
;)
1) Get back to my roots. So much of my fun in EFU came from the survivalistic aspect and on so many PCs I find myself having difficulty motivating myself to recruit anymore. I genuinely love getting involved in affairs and helping people experience EFU from my perspective (aka the Minecart Ride from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where zipping around screaming fighting praying not to die in a wild ride). However recruiting people is something that has just become somewhat tedious for me. I'm not sure if I need to re-evaluate how my PCs pursue their goals, how they push affairs, or otherwise but it's a matter to consider.
2) Bring the thunder back to Nature. This isn't disparaging of any current nature PCs but I feel like Nature on EFU is at its best when it's fang and claw, thunder and lightning, burning the settlement and razing hell. Unleashing plagues upon Lower. Obliterating portions of the Machine in land slides. Blood-sacrifices of uppersmen to swarm Upper with vampire bats. Nature is such a great facet for Criminal-type/antagonistic PCs and while I don't always have the patience for it I really would quite love to see the fire brought once more. For the word Wildling to stop being synonymous with "Those damn wildlings" and more with "OH GOD IT IS THOSE DAMN WILDLINGS".
3) Bloodmage. It's my literal white whale. I've applied for it more times in EFU history than any other of my applications, I love Sorcerous Roleplay and the idea of both mutation by magic and cabals and ultimately I love the idea of a PC putting it on the line hard for ambition. Risking everything you are and have worked for at a glimpse of immortality and touching true power to make moves, wreak havoc, and bring the thunder.
[hide=So I guess that means]
Sometime in 2015 I'm going to be making a Talosian-styled Nature-Mage seeking Bloodmage who recruits a mass cabal of nature oriented figures and druids. Perhaps a rival stewards circle or attempting to join the Stewards and struggle for control amongst it away from the traditionally hands off, quiet, and overlooked NPCs of the faction. Raising hell for upper and lower with fire and brimstone and natural disasters as my druidic legions decimate your rothe herds and my loyal barbarians lay waste to your caravans, canal, and so on.
Which frankly could be a pretty fun concept :D[/hide]
Quote from: UnholyWon;4210781. Create a new Character.
2. Give that character a long life.
3. Leave an imprint on the server.
Basically the same!
1) Get back into playing.
2) Fix Irc so I can use it,
3) Surpass my previous pc's
4) Inspire other players to get into the thick of it.
Have fun.
1. Get a statue.
2. Make another stylish weapon master merc.
3. Become a dm and make myself a statue.
5. Create a mason PC who's goal is to craft a glorious statue of Damien.
1. Maybe make a PC that people enjoy/remember that isn't a halfling.
2. Mercilessly FD everyone who calls any of my halflings variations of Irith. You know who you are. Watch your back.
3. Maybe get on prom figures one day.
- Get dumpstered by Hound
- Get dumpstered by Tala
- Don't get dumpstered by RwG
-
Improve at PvP Unrealistic, who am I kidding?
On a more serious note
- Be brave, take more risks, take better risks
- Learn to accept and even appreciate consequences, internalize it
- Be less resistant to changing my PCs due to influence by other PCs

Wow. Failed 6 hours into 2015. Embarrassing.
If I start something, stay with it until the end, no matter how frustrating it gets.
Maintain a better standard for my roleplay, and expand what types of characters I can and can't play.
Manage to get a PRC class approved and earned IG.
play again.
Quote from: whiterabbit;421167Be less resistant to changing my PCs due to influence by other PCs
A good one for everyone, I rate.
1) Complain less
2) Spend more time worrying about my own PC is doing to make life interesting for other players instead of what others are doing (or not doing)
3) Complain less
1:) make a good male pc
2:) make an auxiliary
3:) finaly finish one of my goals
