"We love the night"
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2016 11:08 am
I've been meaning to do this for forever, now, and just haven't done it: aggravated-by-myself-because-I-haven't-done-it, I am finally doing it.
I recall reading somewhere (I can't recall where; I had performed a couple of searches, to no avail) that our Derrick had expended a lot of personal effort in "getting night right" for UOSA; IIRC, the remark was delivered in the context of lamenting that Razor's lighting filter would obviate the effort.
Well, so far as I am concerned, "I love the night": I use the Razor lighting-filter only immediately-before I delve into a dungeon (sometimes, I catch myself --in that I have not turned it off-- and kick myself over it); my houses are adorned with lit lanterns, and I have been wont to wander about at night, carrying a lantern (and I know of at least one other player/character who, at least sometimes, also does this).
I would like this thread to serve as a 'thankyou note' for everything UOSA is (ha! warts and all!), and a reminder to him --and to all of us-- how much his efforts have always been appreciated (particularly since a lot of it never receives any mention).
Anyone else who "loves the night", please post here. I decided on this specific venue just in case some inspired member felt like turning it into an actual in-game event (maybe a bunch of characters turn out, at night, in candle-lit procession).
There exists also, to my sensibilities, some perverse humour in marrying any such event with "April Fools Day": I assure all, however, that I am in earnest.
Any/all who "love the night" (or, just UOSA), please, let's let Derrick know, and in a manner that acknowledges, and demonstrates appreciation for, all of his efforts.
