[2023] Succession Examine Text Appreciation Post

Guilty.

Aww, thank you! :D

It's really hard to pick a favourite. After over a decade developing RuneScape, the set dressing starts to blur together.

Here's several that float to top of mind when I think on it:

• Death of Chivalry - Tomb exit gate - "You must slaughter your zombies before venturing forth."
• The Arc - Oxen - "Misses his ox-girlfriend." or - Drowned moai "Whale's Maw's moai has a lovely view of the ocean. If only he was alive to enjoy it." or - Druid tent - "Druidism, man. It's in tents." or Barrel - "The crate's curvier cousin."
• Menaphos - Shelves - "It's important to believe in your shelf."/"Recently varnished. In danger of shelf immolation." or Low shelf - "Suffers from low shelf esteem." or Wicker basket - "Something wicker this way comes."/"Stop. Hamper time."/"Some just can't hold their wicker." or Big sacks of grain - "Making a note here: huge seed sacks." or Single bed - "It's between relationships at the moment." or Barrel - "It's been cooped up for too long." or Open sack - "Warning: danger of sack overflow." or Plant - "Curses. Soiled again." or Bed - "Let's face it; this is just bed space." or Crate - "Stop me. Before it's too crate." or Two crates - "You should've stopped me."
• Fort Forinthry kitchen - Cabbage shrine - "The stand-in kitchen manager is no longer standin'. May they rest in leaf."
• Davendale - Davendale village sign - "A sign of things to come." or Standing stone - "Mind your menhirs around these mysterious stones." or Bed of flowers - "If a flower is sleepy, do other flowers photosympathise with it?" or Wooden gate - "This might lead to Davendale. You're still on the fence about it." or Small crate - "Too little. Too crate." or Crate - "It exceeds your crate expectations." or Platform - "The shelf's second cousin. Once removed, the house falls over." or Bed - "Don't speak ill of the bed." or Writing desk - "It defies desk scription." or Hedge - "Someone both haughty and cultured has poured a lot of love and attention into this hedge." or Dairy churn - "One good churn deserves another." or Sweeping woman - "Seeks tidy and considerate broommate. No pets." or Archway - "Could this be your arch-nemesis?" or Post - "Why are you examining posts?"/"Seriously. Why?"

Also guilty.

Oh yeah, speaking of dead people, the gravestones outside the Invention of Disaster guild were also a highlight:

I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be."
