I was reading through Folly the other night and amused to see all the very subtly different formatting styles we use. I thought I'd collect them together and try to appreciate something I normally just gloss over.
In truth it doesn't really say much, but it's kinda fun to look at. There are two main styles of posting, which I guess you might call prose-style and script-style. But within those two styles the differences are interestingly minor; whether or not to use quotation marks, whether to put a space before the dash after the name, how to use color, and so on. So, yeah.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Hey guys. I am back at home. I will resume activity most likely tomorrow whenever I wake up from my coma (sleep); but thank you again for the well wishes!
Epic World! Because seriously! It's the awesome!

A recent question regarding enchanting has come up and I missed it.
Pair items to not automatically share enchantments. If you put a crystal imbue on your right glove it does not enchant your left. They are not attached and as such are two separate items. Imbues involve phasing the magic source into an item and creating an osmosis between the two, it doesn't make sense that this would pass to another item just because they go together. Enchanting your sword wouldn't enchant its sheath, enchanting one bracer doesn't enchant the other.
Sorry if this upsets anyone, but its just the way it goes. If you buy imbued gauntlets, pick a gauntlet or pay for two crystals.
If you have a pair or set of imbued things, or get them as loot specifically stating they are both or all imbued, that is fine, but they are not pawnable.

My dissertation is due on the 2nd of May, so my activity level will hopefully drop considerably for the next week. I'll keep on top of what I can and should be able to post at least once a day on everything. Just letting you know that if you see me online I am probably procrastinating and/or mentally drained.

In the same vein, my senior project is due May 1st, and then I go straight into finals and the end of my undergraduate. I'll probably be around plenty, but if you're waiting for me on a quest or task, just mod me appropriately.

A bit of bad news, my laptop seems to be out of commission and while I will be renting one from the library for finals, it will be just for finals. Hopefully I can get this cleared up soon but it may take a few weeks, sorry for any inconvenience.
Just a note, obviously things have been pretty slow this weekend (Due in no small part to the prerelease). I'm going to be putting out a largish update on the King tonight or tomorrow so that there's some fresh content going into the new month.
Sorry for vanishing again guys, I know I just did it last weekend but everything sorta went to **** the last few days and every time I went to get on something new happened. Family tension and freakouts, head shaving, insomnia, major appliance malfunctions and a family death. Hope to be back at it tomorrow and and keep at it steadily for the coming weeks.

Hey y'all just wanting to let you all know me and trab no longer have Wi-Fi in our rooms, he has e-net on his phone but I have nothing so I’ll try and get on every day and post but the best that I can. I can’t say it’s going to happen, so for the next 2 max 3 weeks I’ll be kind of random with my posts.
