It's good to see it finally up and running,let's hope everyone will like it

I'm sure suggestions will make it even better

And glad I had the chance to take a small part in the project,anyway the credit goes to the guys if I may say

I'm sorry if I made you all worry; actually the earthquake was heavily felt even where I am,which is far away from the core of its origin....

The first shaking came during night,while I was alone at university home,and I woke up with my bed moving cause of the tremblings and windows shaking like there was some strong thunder,just after a sec I understood it was not a storm but eh,I could just go under the door arch and wait,since I'm currently leaving in third floor;after all the mess happened,shaking continued for 3 days,so I eventually went back to my parent's for a couple of weeks,since it's farther away.

Still,I consider myself lucky because I still have a home and nobody got hurt in the zone I'm living,just fear was all.

I know people who have relatives in Aquila and now they are currently hosting them,those are the luckier; the rest is struggling in tents and nights are still very harsh in the mountains in here.At least the shakings have somewhat calmed down,situation is still pretty messed up though.

Again,I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier and I'm sorry yet happy you got worried for me,know that I am allright,in this I'm very very lucky.I know I'm repeating words but I feel just like it whenever I turn on tv lately.

Thanks a lot for your concern

It's hard for me to write this topic,partly because I'm hot headed and right now it's difficult to calm down,after the last drop broke my patience definitely; partly because I'm going to sort very old things together with new.

The first thing I want to say is,I'm sorry if I'll end up using some strong words from time to time,I will do my best to keep this very diplomatic,because my main point here is, I DO NOT intend to flame or start flaming; I just want to speak my frustration out,over things I'm keeping locked since long.I apologize in advance and I state again,I'm not trying to start an argument or offend anyone.

I'm not going to say names,or tell stories in details,or whatever; anybody that is involved knows and anybody that is not doesn't need to know either,probably.

I just want to state that I'm definitely,surely,by all means,SICK of all the drama and the garbage behind the curtains that has been going since 3 years so far.

I honestly loved this shard at first sight;the more I played,the more I felt home.
In many occasions and through many events the feeling was strengthened.
The saddest thing is,new players will never know fully that sense of homecoming and friendly atmosphere,because what we have now,I'm sorry to say,is but a pale imitation of what was and it survives only in few people;this may even be one of those "good old times" speeches,but that's what I've personally felt so far.
The good thing about it is, despite the drama and the garbage going on,many still strive to keep that feeling,and that's the true "heart" in sylvan;but for one that strives,10 tons of garbage comes out lately.

Many don't know me,because I use to come and go and disappear for long period of times; it is true that most of those times are due to real life issues,since I had and still have many going on.But many times,it was out of frustration that I didn't came.

The first time I disappeared it was honestly because a person totally ruined my game,in every sneaky,awful,mean way possible,and did so even when I returned,time and time again; I know for sure that this person ruined the game to many others (and was overlooked many times,one thing that made me want to puke,honestly,but I don't know the reasons,so I won't say anything more),but I was first to have problems with this person and nobody cared a damn,so I felt honestly down about it.But I decided to come and play again after a time,because sylvan was yet sylvan,and mostly because I had awesome friends I wanted to play with still,which made the game worth.

Then again and again,everytime I tried to have fun,garbage came out.And again.And again.And again...

I know my nature is silly and I take at heart many things,but what can I say,it seems they don't have a "take-back" policy for brains,so I have to work with the tools I'm provided eh;I can just say,everytime I'm starting to have fun again,someone or something comes out and vomits cr*p,giving me a general sense of being let down....and of disgust.....and rage for something I still consider beautiful,and home,being ruined to ashes like this.For what?Drama?Penis length complexes over bull***ts?Lies to cover lies?Whatever.


As a result for now I left all my guilds and I'm sorry if I hadn't the patience of staying and giving explanation for it;I just feel I wanna be by myself until I calm down for real,because seriously,I am at the point I feel I can't trust my very own shadow sometimes and all my good memories are being sh****d upon.
And this is NOT EVEN SIMILAR to having fun,sorry.Not my idea of fun.

I'm not being over idealistic here: drama will always exists,half truths as well and whatever,it's normal,I'm not wishing for an utopia.But this is a load that is really going over the edge and I'm not sure if I can still tolerate it; I'm just wishing for a tiny more honesty and coherence,just that.


This topic was just to say,if you see me disappearing again,next time you will know that maybe there were/are other reasons as well.

I'm sorry if this will seem madness or inappropriate to some,but I felt like that maybe,just maybe,for once I had the right to speak my mind out after so long.I hope you will let me do that and indulge me.


And this is really all,thanks anyway and sorry.

The banner is the same but the effects on it (regarding creatures mostly) are different: the middle one is the plain one with just some shading; the first one is embossed and the third one is sorta engraved. There was a fourth one in which I tried to blend creatures more, but Link said they weren't much visible,so meh.....

Up to you

The truth is Link wore me out.....  *lits a cigarette and then coughs since she doesn't smoke*


Let us know which version you prefer the most,it was highly debated *laughs*


(and he still refused to include the shaded one I like...lol!)

Thank link for that,I would've never come out with that if it wasn't for his idea on it

Glad you all love it

Thanks mostly to Link,which came out with a very clever solution,I was able to tweak more on the banner,and we finally got this that seems the right size:






This is still not the definitive one,but I thought it may be worth to show what the progresses are and going toward to,since the website is yours

Let us know!

Torrone....yummy!That's an italian sweet I know well

The original idea was to put staffers in the banner,and maybe a couple of players to fill in.unfortunately,I couldn't take the right screencaps,but hey,I can always modify that (which in fact I strongly hope to do),this was just to show how the thing could come out.....glad you somewhat like it.

If I have cooperation from players and staffers I may try and do the final version of it

A shot I did at lengthening the banner with in game pics.I had to resort on npcs,too since lack of willing models,so bear with me.

Thanks mainly issege,i just did the deliverywoman *laughs* happy to have been of help though

Resized and restyled





Let me know.....



*hugs Serenity*

Well I tried to find a "leafy" font but trust me,that was the best I could find to give it some fancyness,since I can't really draw something from scratches lol;as for resizing it's no problem,just tell me how do you want it and i'll work on the psd project,I always kept them for later adjustments when required

if I find a better font I'll try and reshape it....and glad you liked it 

Well I don't know if the "banner contest" is still up nor if it's the right size,but here's my idea for a SH banner:






Just something I put together while waiting for the shard to come up again
And yeah,I liked the bunny idea too,lol!

Well toward the end of this page there's a pic showing a guy on a boat near one of those islands,hence way I thought they were accessible by boat,since there's enough space to navigate....

I need to get on one of those islands,but I cannot say why on the forums,since it's shard policy

I will try with the scrolls,hoping they will work with 0 magery too *giggles*

Thanks Caelan!
