Twist eye had not noticed until recently that some of the deer were different from the others. Sure, there had been the obvious differences in color, antlers, and behaviors, but to the genderless mistchild there had never been much of a distinction between male and female.
The season of the rut was a time in which such things became much more important. The deer she had seen sticking in large groups with fawns were seeking out the larger, somewhat more solitary ones. The does were looking for stags to sire the next generation, and prospective fathers were ready to fight for the opportunity to mate. It was a fact of life, a fact that had never occurred to the lone fawn, born of the air. Not until recently.
Twist eye had been watching stags fight. They weren't fighting over it; the mistchild was too young, and lacked a doe's gift to bear life, but she watched with an artist's eye, listened to every clack of antler and every step, smelled the emotion in the air- Twist eye was inspired. They only barely seemed to notice it watching, but by the end of it, Twist eye had been as exhausted as the stags, having tried to imitate all their best lunges and parries with invisible opponents.
Now back beside the pond, Twist eye looked down at it's- no, his reflection. The mistchild's shifting abilities had morphed it's previously ambiguous form into that of a youthful buckling, widening his frame, thickening his neck and slimming down his underbelly. There were even two false buttons where horns or antlers might be on a full-grown buck. It was a temporary change, yes, but the mistchild was proud of it. It wouldn't be long, it thought while it's form returned to normal, before Twist eye would be able to fight like the big stags.
So sometimes when I go on to play the game, it connects and says that it connected, but nobody appears! It even says the right number of them in the menu. At the moment the number is 70. I've tried running as administrator and checking to see that in the Display menu it's set to see all other players, but it still doesn't work. What do? Is there any easy way to fix this rather than to simply wait until it works again?
Hen, I tried running it as a admin as you suggested! It worked, but it was very slow and I soon had to close out. When I tried running it normally it was the same glitch again.
Hello! I'm a really old member. (I don't know why, but it says i'm 3 years old, when my first post was way back in 2011?) Anyway, this Blog here is mainly for chatting about anything TEF related. I haven't played TEF in ages but I might go try it out again later.
