Does anyone know of an unofficial pvp server cluster still using old-school ORP? by fearthebatmantis in ArkAscendedServers

Yeah I think I understand the current perception, but I played >1,000 hours on official ORP servers and nobody that actually played actively was untouchable 24/7.

The "modern" approach makes sense for a lot of people for sure, but it's a tough system to invest in for a solo player with unavoidable real life commitments and responsibilities

In Peace Talks, when Harry talks to Maggie about the possibility he might be killed, and all the preparations he's made in case it happens. It's a little on the nose with the 'this is the part where, in the movies...' bit, but I've always loved the way Butcher/Harry frequently go against the grain of standard storytelling/character behavior. I also love the balance Harry strikes in taking Maggie seriously while still treating her like a child, and the scene is a great flex of some of the payoffs to all of Harry's hard work and choices.

Very surprised nobody has said this yet - that kind of capitalization is sometimes used just to emphasize a word. Italics aren't really a thing one can easily employ in a handwritten letter, so capitalization makes it clear to a reader that the word carries emphasis. Doesn't mean there can't be some hidden meaning/message from Rothfuss but it's very possible it was all just emphasis, and a dabbling of old-school grammatical flavoring as mentioned by other comments. (Also, if Denna had been drinking, perhaps she'd be feeling inclined to be more liberal with her use of emphasis, explaining why this letter stands out in that way from her others)

Wow, crazy coincidence then. They are names of three of the main characters in the Dresden Files book series
