Before you say anything, this is still tentatively a work in progress, and I know there's some coding problems because I'm a huge loser at coding. But I'm tired and I can't be bothered to fix it now.
Maybe 2 or 3 of those were because I got tagged.... merely because I had asked a direct question. ^-^ I think it's every few posts or something sends an alert? I dunno.
You get it for being tagged, quoted, liked or for new posts. It varies on the priority of each action. It also depends on the time elapsed from each alert. Say you get tagged, then you get a like, 30 minutes appart. That's 2 alerts right there.
Elle has stopped following this thread because of the alerts. Ayl and Killi are right - you will not get all that many alerts until you click on them. But if you're online, see the alert, go to check it, and then go back to what you're doing, only to be interrupted again a minute later, consistently throughout your online time, for posts that have no actual substance to them - it's maddening. If we're offline the only issue is the heart attack of returning to three pages as I just have - but that's nothing compared to the explosive annoyance of being interrupted while you're online every thirty seconds. For one thread. It's not chat, people.
Well, look who lost 8 pages of OOC content and an explanation of the Arcana Ritual. Also, question! Do the power an Arcana grant on someone differ from individual to individual?
