> as evidenced by the fact Ilithi doesn't have a true bard in the Court Bard position. A slap in the face to all bards who have spent years playing bards.

I know this is yet another dig at poor Ruea and another attempt to draw attention to yourself and Teamarie, but hey, here I am biting.

Playing a bard isn't enough, you have to be good at it. With as many typos as you and Teamarie tend to make in your gweths and conversations I wouldn't give the position to either one of you. You're supposed to be the masters of language, try to form a coherent sentence first, then start thinking about trying for court positions.

Actually there's a few steps in between those that are important too, but I don't expect you to get past the coherent sentence thing so I won't bother listing the others.

I stopped reading STRONGK's posts when she pulled the 'I'm older than most bards so my opinion is more important' speech during the discussions leading up to the TM rewrite.

<<Sebastienne, are you really an Empress in game?

I've always assumed its like Aeviona is really a mermaid. It'd be nice to know and not assume, however.

So true! Those two make me want to stab out my eyes whenever I see their gweths and conversations.

Not to mention, look how much Ruea has done since she has been the Court Bard. Numerous plays and social gatherings, heck there is even one tonight.

Anyone who plans on applying or whining about the choice in the future should get out a pen and a piece of paper and start taking some notes.

Someday, somehow.

Yeah, "doing stuff besides discussing the bill of rights on the gweth" is one of those steps between coherent sentence and court bard that I didn't bother to mention.

Ruea Rocks, that is all.

Anyone who uses the above as a key argument as to why their opinion has merit fails at any argument they make. I do not understand why this type of statement is deemed important. It's like "Hi, I have been giving stupid comments since I joined DR 8 years ago, therefore, my opinions are now smart just because I've been here 8 years!"

As for Strongk's claim about the "slap in the face": I would think that GMs would be biased in the favor of bards when choosing a Court Bard. If anything, it would be seriously hard for a non-bard to get the position if true bards were in the running.

The fact that they went with a non-bard is a key indication as to how badly the bards (if any applied) failed to live up to the requirements of being a Court Bard that they failed to make the cut.

As her almighty Empress stated, there's more to being a good bard than simply joining the right guild. I.e. one of which I imagine might be ( should be ) having good taste in men.

Anyway, props to Ruea for having the drive and passion to make the position hers.

For all the complaining I've yet to see a "True Bard" step up and do anything productive about it. Complaining is easy, proving you'd be better than someone else, takes more than blowing hot air.

Ruea has stepped up to fill a position that has for awhile been lacking in Ilithi, others had the chance to prove they would do the job better than before. No one did, she has been pretty amazing and consistent.
