Official: Ta'Illistim Verbs

[Fallen]

In what is being called "a long overdue announcement," Ta'Illistim's Office of the Seneschal released the following statement:

The Seneschal of Ta'Illistim Keep is commanded to convey the thanks of Illistim's Argent Mirror to the ladies Rohese and Treeva. Both have contributed greatly to the spread of Illistimi culture and to the preservation of the manners, graces and attributes that distinguish residents of the Shining City. For their acts, the title of Scrivener of Ta'Illistim is bestowed, to be worn with honor.

****

After a long, long wait, please congratulate Treeva and Rohese for winning the Illistim verb contest! (I'll be contacting each of you to discuss your prizes.)

The following verbs are now available to Illistim citizens and Illistim culture elves: CURTSY, BOW, TURN, EXPRESS, PONDER, SCOLD, GLANCE and SALUTE.

These verbs can be set to their Illistim-specific messaging by typing <VERB> SET ILLISTIM. (So for example, to set SALUTE, you would type SALUTE SET ILLISTIM.)

Cheers,
Itzel

[Fallen]

Those are pretty good.

[HouseofElves]

Heck yes they are. Awesome job, lady. <3

[Nathala Crane]

So, which ones are yours and which are Treeva's? I only ask out of curiosity; I think they're all great.

[Elvenlady]

Mine were PONDER, TURN, SCOLD and EXPRESS

[Danical]

WTF is wrong with you people?

My RP of the last 4 years can be summed as follows:

act RPs really fucking well.

[Nathala Crane]

Mine were PONDER, TURN, SCOLD and EXPRESS

Nice. EXPRESS is my favorite, followed by GLANCE.

And let me just say that while I'm certainly no stranger to the ACT verb - I use it quite extensively, in fact - there is much to be said for verbs that suitably convey an intended meaning without being flanked by parentheses. Chalk it up to a minor case of OCD, but I hate 'em, which is also why I love the "smile" verb. >_>

My RP of the last 4 years can be summed as follows:

act RPs really fucking well.

act get he RP on.

[Asile]

This makes me wish I had more of an affinity for playing pure Elves; my only "Illistimi" is a Half-Elf. Ah well.

Those are really cool.

[ViridianAsp]

The verbs are awesome!:heart:
