Okay, another aelena whine here. So, I get this quest...actually a quite fun
quest actually, if time-consuming. I had to track down players to
taste/smell/etc a flask. Took me about 2 hours on each of 3 days to find the
right people for this. So, today the stars finally align and I find all the 4
people I need within a suitable amount of time. Race back to the guild, and
get the following directions:
Jaelana tells you 'First give your flask to me and then whisper me what you've
identified inside of it. Be quick about it, I don't have time to waste on
you.'
Okay, so I ask on guild channel to confirm syntax, but no response, so I take
a wild guess. My particular ingredients were burning gill, fermented brain,
hemlock, nightshade, so it must be "give flask to jaelana;whisper jaelana
burning gill, fermented brain, hemlock, nightshade". Well, guess what, FUCK
YOU, you didn't get the quest. Now, tomorrow I get to go back, and figure out
if i wasn't supposed to put the commas, or maybe I wasn't supposed to put the
fermented/burning, or maybe a different order. "honey anvil get shelf"
anybody?

Actually, your syntax was quite correct. The reason you failed is because,
shockingly, your guess was in fact incorrect. So, you failed because you were
wrong.

Okay, my guess which was based on the messages i got from the taste, smell,
inspect, pour syntaxes from 4 people who all got the message "you know what it
was", etc...i guess if that's wrong, then I'm going to have a hard time doing
it right...
