Emma rolled her eyes, Mages are all the same. Get a few drinks in them and all they want to do is one up each other.

"No! No battles in this tavern!" Emma slapped her hand on the counter for emphasis, just in case they'd had so much liquor they thought she was kidding. "If you even think-" Emma was cut off as Esher let out a high pitched, manic giggle and conjured a whirlwind of flame to dance and flicker in the palm of his hand, How much has this Demon had to drink?

Emma eyed the burly mercenary they had hired to help out with unruly customers, wondering if she should call him over. Thankfully he looked sober this time...

Failing to get even the slightest grin from her, Esher sobered, looking disappointed and the flame sputtered out.

Turning to the approaching Erwydra, she smiled wryly, "What can I get for you, darlin'?"

yeah....
I signed my partner up and he had a look at it and was like "oh yeah cool" and went back to playing Dota2...
So I waited for him to die in game, then made him click on ALL of the news articles...
After he did as much as possible he was over level 30 - free points for me

This is beautiful @Greenfire , thanks for the tips.

Can you recommend a particular brand of lubricant to fit so many devs up your ass?
And is there an optimal dev rotation or can you just wack them in in any order?

I'm so over it
Lesson learned for me: Never read discord/forums/ANYTHING before that first cup of coffee.

Second I bring you:

The White Knight Equation
by Mimi

Over the years I have encountered many different types of people online but one of my all time favourites is the Queen Bee. Not so much because of the Queen Bee herself, but for all the little White Knight Bees that swarm around her. Don't get me wrong the Queen Bee can be a force of nature, and she is often an amazing person. BUT. It's the White Knight Bees that really determine what sort of Queen Bee you're dealing with.

So how can we figure out what kind of Queen Bee it is? First of all, you have to rattle the nest a little. You wont know anything about the White Knight Bees until the Queen Bee is upset. Whether you have disturbed the Queen Bee intentionally or not doesn't actually matter - even if you have said sorry. And yes, even if you have said sorry AND she has accepted your apology. You rocked the boat so here they come.

• The Independent Queen Bee: If you're getting just a couple of private messages and nothing else this is a fairly solitary Queen Bee who has a few White Knight Bees in her life that care about her enough to let you know you have made a mistake but who also know she'd kick their asses if she found out they were messaging you. This Queen Bee doesn't subscribe to the idea of "defining" other Queen Bees.

• The Mulan Queen Bee: She's one of the boys. Chances are the one disturbing this nest is in fact one of her White Knights. She's one of the rarest bees because none of her White Knights will protect her. Instead, the hive has an "every bee for itself" mentality but they still get together on weekends and talk shit about the Power Play Queen Bee - see below.

• The "I have a boyfriend" Queen Bee: These White Knights are forever reminded about the fact that they've been designated to the eternal friend zone. This has made them a little blue and they may or may not message you after you've done something wrong. They're still hopeful enough to keep in contact with her, but defeated enough that some days they just don't care.

• The Queen of Queen Bees: Here's one you need to watch out for. Seriously just run. If you have multiple other Queen Bees (at least ten) messaging you about how you've hurt their friend you have disturbed the Council of Queen Bees and must get out immediately. Not doing so might result in your social media accounts getting hacked, strange and embarrassing rumors about you appearing mysteriously online, and weird calls in the middle of the night.

• The Power Play Queen Bee: These White Knight Bees are super aggressive. Their Queen Bee often flirts with multiple White Knights at a time while somehow ensuring that none of them will find out about the others. She is skilled and sneaky, a little bit damaged and probably has a pet poodle or something. Because most of the White Knights assume they're dating - or at least in the running to be dating - the Queen Bee, they will stop at nothing to defend her honor.

and one more

• The Instagram Queen Bee: This one doesn't really play games. But she does take some amazing pictures of herself pretending to do so, and spends too much money at Sephora. The White Knights that swarm around this Queen Bee are generally paying her some form of currency - which funds her Sephora addiction - to pose in varying states of undress. They're very competitive and love it when their Queen Bee acknowledges anything they do. Because they're often showering her with gifts they also often have this odd misconception that they "own" the Queen Bee which makes them very defensive.

In conclusion, there are many other types of Queen Bees out there, and while you should always encounter them with caution, please also treat them with respect until they are deserving of anything else.

"You mean hooves?" Mimi asked cheekily and smiled, "Only a few weeks. This is all very new to me."

@wombat I'm sure a few would agree
