At dusk almost all the townsfolk had retired for the day, securing themselves inside their homes under the fear-imposed curfew necessitated by the beasts of the ravine. However, a few people were still out, packing up and carrying home the last of their goods, which they did not want to leave out overnight. Despite the concern from last night's encounter, those people who were out were still taken by surprise when the bloodstone horrors emerged from the ravine, the rays of the setting sun casting them in all the more terrifying light. The four people in the square when the monsters emerged screamed, dropped what they were carrying and ran for their lives in different directions, hoping to get inside a house and to bar the door before any monster caught up with them and killed them.

A fifth person, drawn by the noise, came around the side of a building wielding a pitchfork. He had been expecting there to be one or two beasts, but on seeing a full pack of twelve horrible monsters plus a large one, he gave up all plans of playing the hero and also turned and ran. The bloodstone horrors could attempt to chase them people, and possibly break their way into houses, or they could inspect the abandoned cargo, which they would discover to be wool, dried mutton, flour and animal feed.

I've just been busy in general.

I should probably send a response to Cyclone's latest action some time.

There's an idea. Have the buttons be [[@][Quote]] [@Mention]. If you get what I mean, no padding between the [@] and [quote] so they appear to be two parts to a single button, making the [@] a mentionable quote.

It'd be no smaller than the rating buttons, so it's not exactly hard to hit. It preserves space. And being directly adjacent to the quote button, it makes it clear what it does.

EDIT: Mockup, because I could:

@Captain Jordan

Those buttons are rather close. For people who don't use a computer mouse (eg. all mobile users), clicking one button rather than the other would be tricky.

In regards to the discussion on notifications, perhaps a good middle-ground is to sort (and maybe even group into hiders, at least if there are more than 1 or 2) notifications by thread. Thus you do not increase clutter, but the notifications are still grouped into where they come from so you don't have a mixed list.

I also prefer full quotes rather than expanding quotes. Expanding quotes require extra elements on the page, thus more to go wrong, and the first few lines only provide the proper context if the first few lines of the post are the context and not a later part of the post.

I've noticed one minor bug. When I hover over the timestamp in the status button, as well as the status, it also shows a tooltip labelled "[object Object]"

Is Gunter buried yet? Because, if not the spirits could revive him. Wouldn't be as good as anormal human till she got a better spirit than a Blank though.

@KabenSaal

They have dealt with the body so it's not just lying around, but he wouldn't have been buried yet. His body would be in the local morgue, which in this case would probably be a small shack where they keep the bodies safe and prepare them for their funerals.

Sucks to be them.

I'll have to come with a bigger army next time

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

Do note that the guards aren't in a position to make decisions for the entire town, especially regarding allowing the entire town to be possessed. (That, and the Cypriots aren't familiar with spirit magic, so Emily's offer bordered on mumbo jumbo to them.) They're just law enforcement and hunters.

This was all very confusing for the guards. These were guards who were used to dealing with petty crimes among the villagers and hunting down wild beasts who became a nuisance. This demon had been in the category of wild beast in need of hunting until this small girl intervened. Now that Naoto was engaging in reasonable negotiation, the guards had been completely thrown. After listening to Naoto's plea of innocence in stunned silence, one was about to raise an objection when Emily brought up something about compensation in the form of spiritual assistance.

"Wait, pardon?" one guard blurted out. The rest of them spoke up as well, and a discussion ensued.
"She said she'd give us compensation in the form of spiritual assistance."
"I heard that, but what does that mean?"
"It appears that she's trying to pay us back using some sort of augmenting magic."
"So she expects us to just let this guy go?"
"Wait, maybe she would be able to help us."
"No, no, no, it's the principle of the thing. We can't let people go around doing this stuff and getting away with it."

They huddled in closer and discussed more quietly among themselves. They soon reached a verdict. One of them stepped forwards, cleared his throat and answered to Naoto.

"Although you may rationalise your crimes, you are still guilty of them. We demand the immediate return of the family and the stolen goods. Also, since you have shown that you are capable of rational thought we are placing you under arrest until we can get a higher ruling on your charges, as well as," he added, gesturing to Emily, "whether your offer is acceptable or not."

Despite the clarity of the speech, the guards were still slightly nervous. Naoto was still bigger and stronger than them, and he had a reasonably intimidating sword. Plus there was the wild-card of the young sorceress, who could act either way in their eyes. If negotiations turned sour, there was always the hope that the demon's skull wasn't bulletproof- a well placed musket shot kills most beasts smaller than a horse. But considering recent events, they hoped it didn't come to that.

Perhaps this belongs in the help section, but with all the changes I needed to ask. My Legacy signature is not showing, can anyone fathom why?

I had Lilian Thorne make it, and I've been using it for about a year or two now. I'm pretty sure it isn't a matter of size because it was showing on this Guild until a little while ago.

@Gohan

Let's see...
Have you reuploaded your signature since it Mahz redid the signatures? (I forget whether this was required for signatures or whether it was only for Avatars)
Did you turn signatures off?
Those are my best guesses.

Maybe this isn't the place for it but someone tagged me in a post then got themselves banned and now that post is stuck in my notices box because I can't actually view it. Can someone do something about that?

@Prince of Seraphs

There should be a button to clear all notifications and a button to delete individual notifications. Those shall be your solution for now (unless they're broken, in which case Mahz or someone else would need to fix it).

But speaking of that, maybe Mahz could make a small patch to make notifications automatically disappear if the target post is deleted/hidden/made inaccessible?
