me @1k chests and hours wasted: please, can i just get one fucking scroll. a single scroll. that's all i fucking want.

Item Rarity In PMs

Did anyone else notice that when attaching items to PMs, they all show up as 1 star rarity now for some reason? It's a bit of a minor thing, but a little odd. And slightly annoying. 

Or has it always been this way?

[the-right-writing]

Basically, the best way for me to rekindle inspiration is to write a scene poorly and throw it away. That gets my mind working on how to actually fix the problem. Writer’s block almost always goes away after I’ve tried a scene in a couple of different ways, sometimes from different perspectives, sometimes with wildly different ‘takes’ on the scene. I try to shake things up in a few of the takes.

[lameforger-deactivated20161002]

im pretty sure this shit shouldnt be allowed?? SLAVE TRADE…???? really?

[xeiok-deactivated20150702]

How fucking vile!

[hunterotheshadow]

wtf is this person doing.

[unkorea]

Considering they’re a vicious lowballer I assume they’ve just found another way to offend the userbase further after everyone educated themselves on prices so they can no longer take advantage of the userbase

[fr-clan-gienah]

Maybe I’m misinterpreting here, but I don’t really see the issue with the thread title? I know some people who rp their clan as having slaves, and this isn’t really any different. I can see how people would be uncomfortable with the idea of dragons as slaves, but since it’s a hatchery thread I would assume they’re just selling their own hatchlings, not buying other people’s and then claiming they’re slaves.

I’ve heard this user tends to be kind of an asshole though, so idk, maybe there’s something else I’m missing.

[thowra-fr]

glorifying the slave trade which ruined the lives of millions (probably billions) of people, and is still going on today.

[vulpesupskirta]

-shifts uncomfortably-

Hey, I’m going to -seriously- ask some questions here, and I mean no disrespect.

I’m a downright evil clan. Really openly. There is not a single thing my clan does that is on the morally good side of things, except giving allied clans gifts. We’re mostly lawful evil on the spectrum, maybe a little neutral evil sometimes. But we do all sorts of torturing, slaving, raids, etc. 

I’m aware that the slave trade is something that is going strong today, and it’s really fucking gross. I guess my confusion is that I’m not sure where the ‘line’ is for ‘glorifying’ it. I definitely do not want to do such a thing, but I am having trouble figuring out how much is too much.

Like, I wasn’t sure what the problem with the above post is. I thought it was pretty clear it was in an RP, in-fiction sort of thing. What about this in particular is glorifying slavery? Is it the last sentence of the big paragraph? I’m just not sure. Because they’re clearly talking about their clan specifically in the few sentences before it.

Is it considered glorifying it to have it in your clan lore, period?

[flightofdargons]

Yeah, I... really don't see the problem here and I'm generally one of those fluffy types that dislikes the fr grimdark canons. The sale of dragons is left so ambiguous in the fr universe that I don't think you can say someone's wrong for interpreting it as slavery for their lore.

It really confuses me when people try to draw a lot of direct parallels between social issues in the frverse and our world - it's a completely different fantasy setting and issues we have here don't necessarily have to be reflected there or seen as having the same implications. It's a different history, a different culture, etc. If you want to play them as similar, you're free to but not everyone will see it the same way.

Personally I don't care for the idea and I think this person's trying a little too hard with the display, but I don't think their lore necessarily reflects on their opinion of slavery in our world. Like, I don't see it as being glorified in any way besides the fact that they're unapologetically playing a villain that partakes in that. :/a Are clans that kill their exalts glorifying murder?

Looking for dragons born on September 23

Hi guys!

I was out of town for my birthday so I missed out on hatching myself a birthday dragon. so I could use a little help tracking one down.

Show me anything you've got born on September 23!

I'll look at anything but it would be especially nice if I could find a pretty first gen. :|b Trying to spend less than 100k on it, too.
