Oh wow I love Smoldering Desolation. It looks to be very useful for a lot of action/apocalypse style avatars!

I loved it even more when I found that it layered with this background. emotion_kirakira

If only Mournful Breeze did the same thing. :c

So far there is only one thing I like that came from this confusing RIG mess:

Smoldering Desolation allows for so many beautiful, metaphoric avatars to be made in the near future. I used to use the fog and candle Astras for the "watching everything burn around me" effect.

Now it just looks so much better. I am tempted to keep this Astra on me at all times until Gaia gets their practices back together, or just disappears.

This is off topic, but your sig art is super pretty! emotion_kirakira

xD Oh, thankyou. I like making little gifs like that every now and then.
<: Your avatar is very adorable. Nice use of the colors, too.

No problem, and oh gosh, thank you so much! *u * I just threw a bunch of items together and hoped they looked good! heart

Oh my goodness!~<3
A Dark Souls item!~<3
So mine now.~

That was my reaction too!

Agreed, and you are gorgeous.

I feel as though this is too cluttered.

Nope, it's actually pretty well balanced.

I saw that instantly with your current, and was really impressed. Nice work. Even if the reason you're wearing it...is very sad.

Here you go. ^ u ^

Thank you very much. The artwork is fantastic! Though I didn't like the closed eye failure poses (not that I ever got that far).

You are a lucky, lucky duck.
Ah...I'm kind of there with you. I like a few things, but it didn't have the items that would really make me swoon. Closest is White King, but even then, any item over a mil isn't high on my priority list, as 1mil = 1month. It seems like this rig experiment, despite the rage it caused, was successful. I kind of hope they do not do it again...people don't deserve what happened.

Until I need to be up at a specific time. It's not so lucky when I oversleep.
At least some of the cheaper items were pretty good. I seem to like the fail items better than victories on most rigs. Though the way they handled this one makes me pretty happy that I didn't spend any money on it.

Knight of Britannia

Haha, I HAD to have the set as soon as I saw it. Cost me a pretty penny on the MP, but it was worth it.

It's so worth it. Will you just stay like that forever, and be the crowning example of sophisticated love?

Fanny Flaps

So Thistle is...Scottish? Judging by the name and colour.

What the ******** even is that thing?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckles as wither'd rash,
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash;
His nieve a nit;
Thro' blody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

Gosh, I saw this and loved it.
It's a bicorn.

You know, that Black Queen Endgame hair would be perfect for a Rapunzel cosplay.

I was thinking an Elizabeth cosplay from Bioshock Infinite, actually.

Mission Failure

Oh! Thank you so kindly, your outfit is very dapper as well.

That's kind words, coming from a connoisseur of dapper lifestyle. I appreciate it. Sweet Talk Tether was the originator though, we were gold and silver twins. Look him up too.

Again, beautiful avatar!
Did you oversleep recently? I nearly did for my final. Had to book it the forty minutes to school.


I actually do find myself more enchanted with the cheaper items this time around, and I'm slowly watching and waiting to obtain all the ones I'm fond of.
I feel so bad for the cash users, even if this benefited the gold users. That switcharoo was unfair. All I ever see now seems to be rage, or depression. *fell into the latter category*

Out of all of the items, what was your favorite one?

[DarkRybrin]

DarkRybrin

You got that feeling too? I've been reading people's reports, and it looks like something like...2 in 7 odds?

Yep.
After playing the 4 EndGames I got from my ACs and failing all of them at the first stage, I figure I'd pick up just one bundle to test out the odds.
1 Victory (got a doll) and 8 fails (usually first and second stages)

I prefer the Opening and Counter mini-RIGs a lot more.

ll Oreoo ll

I had 4 from the ACs yesterday and after playing all 4 I lost them all at the first stage. :/

Ouch ouch ouch. I hope you liked the doll you got, though! And that everything else was either loved, or sold well.
I did like the fact you couldn't fail them, and all of the items were decent. I'm still trying to collect them all, but I'm really super happy with the theme, so I'm sure I will.

Thank you. It's not one of my best, but it's what happened.

Yep, just a few days ago. Missed a few things I was really looking forward to.
I've already got what I wanted from it. I can't seem to wait for them to fall much in price before I get them. That's why I stay out of SF most of the time. Unless I'm bored and want to see what shiftiness is going on lately.

Hmmm, it's between black pawn and white pawn. The sword poses in both are right up my alley.

[KaryuunoSamurai]

A lot of the items weren't my cup of tea but I'm glad that I really do like a couple of the cheap items. Like the ears in the Sidhe Lord items( even if they do come with an odd nose smudge that's I'm assuming it's a nose) and the wigs can be usable too.
I was surprised that this axe was a pose from an item like Gilded Weaponry because of the coloring and it's beautiful design. Not complaining though because I've been waiting for weapon item like it in this color scheme and it coming from such a cheap item is an added bonus. sweatdrop

I didn't warm up well to the Sidhe items, but that axe! It's so true! Perfect, and inexpensive!
Also, you're gorgeous. Putting that out there.

Nice choice on the pawn items and their swords. I regret that it's harder to get the black pawn. Soon, though.
SF, or GCD to an extent. It's the same people in each, and whereabouts the same discussions, since they are relevant and current.
So, you couldn't wait? Sorry to hear that. I'm sure they will be worth it in enjoyment factor.
I'm more sorry to hear that you missed something you wanted to involve yourself in.

I like elven ear items and the ears on the Sidhe items are perfect just except for the face detail. Might be why they're so unpopular plus the massive eyebrows but those can be covered by other bangs items. sweatdrop

Yes! I know, right? It's so pretty and looks like it should belong to something like the Ciels or Rosamunds. Plus holding it doesn't look weird like previous items that was mainly just weaponry.
And thank you. heart

Nah. I got the SDPlus #481 White Knight.
It's really hard to sell.
So yeah, only ended up liking the mini-RIGs since you couldn't fail them and the items were mostly nice. stressed

Ah good luck with your collection!

The Ciel and Rosemund items were our first really dynamic, powerful female armor, though, with some of the most classic color schemes. This axe does really belong with them, and I look forward to finding more items that go with it. It's a real keeper.
I noticed a lack of hold poses in this rig though in general, which was disappointing. We must wield our weaponry with skill and adaptability for optimal combat, no?
Is there a nose mod that covers it? I know a lot of people found it cute, but I can't really see it that way. When it comes to ears, Knightengale's earclip is really good. That was something I'd been waiting for.
