What an awesome birthday cake for someone to get!! 
 
I started an alt yesterday - even after promising myself I wouldn't! I just couldn't help it. I really wanted a warrior to play around with, which is completely unlike me. I normally play healers and finger wigglers. It feels pretty nice to not be quite so smushy! Unfortunately there are just not enough hours in a day, and I haven't had a lot of time with the new character yet. I need at least 5 more hours added to each day so that I can spend more time playing! ... although if that happened I would probably spend them sleeping....

So what kind of cake was it and what type of icing?
 
That is an awesome cake.
 
Espers are now becoming my favorite class next to spellslingers.  If espers had been as they are now in beta, I would have played the heck out of espers sooner. ;)

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Nothing of interest for breakfast. Croissant and hot milk with honey because my voice has been damage from a night of screaming at people in the ER. Big car crash, lots of injured people and lots of whiney patients in the waiting room as we processed and helped people whose lives were threatened.In WildStar news, the expire date includes the day it shows so this is my last day on WildStar. However, I woke up to something in the mail. I sold my AMP upgrade for 18 plats to reach a grand total of 40 plats. Silence! That's a lot of platinum for me $.$ but I am still hesitant about renewing. No patch this week makes me...anxious. I am super delusional about achievements getting fixed soon, sue me. Guild has found bits and pieces of its spirit again so that's good. I saw a lot of the datamined info and it is looking very nice. I just wish that would include fixes for the bugged achievements. Kel Voreth has also proven to be uncooperative. I want my second side flair: osun!Accept this emotionally-neutral farewell, from ProtoStar!

Frozen,
 
Are you going to another destination ( maybe back to WoW ), will you be back at some point?  Will miss you regardless.  PM me if you wish before all the account kerfuffle happens so I know how to keep in touch ...er in Wildstar!  :)
 
Cheers mate!

			@Kytar: I am not going anywhere in particular. I might even stay here. I really do not know. There are no satisfactory alternatives (for me) at the moment. I am just distressed by the lack of things to do. Having powerleveled all my characters to 50, most people on Evindra did not catch up. Roleplayers tend to be painfully slow levelers, hehe!@Tankanidis: I could but you know what they say about money? The more you have, the more you want? It is true. Need more money! Afford ALL the things! If I end up buying another month with CREDD, it will be through my Exile character who has the currency for it. Currency $.$

Well, last nights RP event was phenomenonal.
 
I know some of you all missed it. But Rocio gave a brief speech about why he decided to leave behind his grief over Arboria and and then proceeded to commune with the Godwood tree using a form of hybrid wizardry.
 
As much as he tried to keep his message focussed on hope and change, for some any talk of letting go of the fight over Arboria was interpreted as treason, abandonment, idiocy and cowardice.
 
He was ducking under sharply pointed questions, sneered at (Look at this dude, trying to be a Matria!)
 
But it was his fellow tribe members coming to his defense that really scared him. They were not diplomatic at all. Rocio was afraid a fight would break out. Matria Sindra took her folks and left before things got violent but Rocio found out that Elora is pregnant so they're going into hiding until thos all blows over....

Good morning Coffee peoples, hamsters, lizards or rocks. Anther day of work. My headache at work is finally gone but means only get 1 day off a week right now. But definitely worth the no stress. Had a district training cover my shift for my day off yesterday and he emailed the District managers saying how good everything was and that we have been doing a good job so yay for brownie points. 
 
In wildstar news, Cycotik is being r transferred to Evindra exile side. Glad to be able.to play my heal slinger with fun people. Because of this, my stalker was born, Cycilia. I manages to make a darken female with the most neutral expression. She doesn't look happy, sad or angry. Just stares blankly at her foes as she rips them apart with her claws. She does have a petty sick grin while startled and claws out.
 
 
Any who. Plan to be playing her tonight since I'll have most the night to play. Gotta catch up to everyone now. :) hop everyone has a good Tuesday.

Another day of asking myself if this game is specifically trying to troll me.
I've been looking for some lvl50 shoulders with Reduced Burden since forever.
And today I got...
 
 
RNG FUN!

Wow, really nice cake!
 
Haven't been on forums much lately due to busyness over last couple of weeks. Many things I've been trying to finish before going back to college next week for another year of study.
 
As for Nexus stuff, came across some strange anomalies over last couple of days. Probably result of some chua experimentation!
 
 
Also been getting to know some great new peoples yesterday. More to acquire inspiration, more potential minions!

Just got to work, and we've had a financial hiccup.  As in, we got billed for something both of us completely forgot we'd be billed for from Amazon.  Our own faults.  Luckily, we've got money set aside for this kind of thing, but it gave us both a heart attack last night.  Came at the worst possible time, as both our rent and our car payments (among other things) are due right at the beginning of the month.  In three more days, we'll be fine again.
 
It sucks though, because we're going to the Ohio Ren Fest at the end of the month, and the less money we have free at the end of the month we won't need for the next month, the less money we can spend at our favorite place on Earth.  I had been wanting to buy a full-length leather tunic from Son of Sandlar and a warhammer from Legacy Forge this year, now the tunic is out of the question and the hammer is unlikely.  Oh well, maybe next year.  Still, we'll have a few hundred dollars to hopefully buy some nice stuff.  And it isn't like I don't have weapons or costume available.  Yeah, I go in costume.
 
If you're in Ohio, drop by.  I'll have a more specific date once we've picked between the weekend of the 20th or 27th.  Also, if you've never been and you do go, make sure you check out Sons of Sandlar (tunic I wanted pictured below with some of their other fine products) and Legacy Forge.  It's worth a little extra money to pay for the quality of real crafted leather and stage-combat capable weaponry.  There's a lot else out there, too.  We get incense and candles from the Ohio Ren Fest every year.
 
 
In Wildstar news, Spenser got to 49 last night (it took me a while to log in and I had to stop periodically to talk to my wife, who was having a harder time calming down last night).  He'll be 50 hopefully by tomorrow, then I'll be back on the Saddles for a while moving some chains on Seeger and figuring out our needs.  I'm also planning some landscaping for Spenser's house, as he is meant to have a rather stately home.  I'll have it figured out soon.

Barghest tried to do the Mayday expedition to find a Standing Viewscreen.
 
She quickly found out that that mission is a sadistic trial concocted by some evil jerk.
 
Nevertheless, she ran it five times and did not get the Standing Viewscreen.
 
She got a cool wall or two out of it at least.
 
...
 
But seriously, if anyone has a Standing Viewscreen, I will buy it off of you.

mmmm.... cake!
 
That is an awesome cake Chillia :)
 
Tenner I'm sorry, I know that armor piece wasn't what you were really wanting, but I can't help but snicker at the name and the flavor text on it!  I do hope that some of the itemization changes go in soon though, the RNG gets pretty ridiculous.
 
I did not get to play Wildstar last night, and won't tonight either, so will have to continue to live vicariously through all you folks for another day.  Blargh, responsibility :(
 
Wednesday though!  This wednesday there will be Wildstar!	
----
			
Frozen.  I'm in the same boat.  Though my counter is Oct 3.  I'm 90% sure I'll be back once there's more.. stuff... Can't hurt to stow your plat for later.  Wait til they release the content for Halloween, see if you want to partake, and if not, wait until you see a content drop that does interest you, and then pop back to try that out.  That's my plan anyway.  As for going elsewhere?  Single player land for me.  Wasteland 2.  Civ:BE.  
 
Wildstar news?  I'm still fascinated by my Ferris Wheel.

*grumble*  I wanted to post a list of constructive feedback on the forums today, to counteract some of the negativity, but I'm totally blocking trying to put it together.  I've started it three times now and get halfway through and say "no, that's not right" and cancel out.
 
I probably need to just go write an essay about how to make Wildstar more awesome and then turn around and translate that back into a list.  Maybe after work is done this evening.

Morning everyone, this little Aurin has allergies turning her into a sniffly brat.
 
Grats on Spenser getting to 49! Looking forward to hearing you ding 50! Enjoy every last minute before you get there, personally think the content is absolutely amazing as you level. Wish I spent more time enjoying it all.  ^_^ Ohio Ren Fest! Amazing!!!! Love the costume, there's one in this area too, but I can never find anyone to go with, so aside from the few times as a teenager, I haven't been back.
 
Plat prices have increased on Stormtalon, same with our AH prices, everything is so stupidly overwhelming now. Sincerely hoping that settles down, but I've stowed away a few CREDD. Squirrel Aurin, engaged.
 
That cake is amazing, saw it on tumblr and twitter. Now someone has it right.  B) Protostar cake is best cake. Take your leveling slow Chilia! Sleep > leveling anyhow.
 
The All Shade's costumes are hawt. Tuxedo anyone? Yeah, it's hot. Can't wait to see that on the ladies. 
 
Last night Icelus logged in! Super thrilled, I blew everyone off to devote precious time to him. He also said the thread with Rocio was amazing. So there you have it Rocio! And I have permission to write him whenever I want, an added bonus. Methinks Icelus hasn't seen the tumblr post about him yet.  ;) Too late for that, it's totally stuck.
 
Kael was overwhelmed to have him back and his new outfit is the same color as her hair. Plus, he took his mask off! *squeals*
 
Okay, I'm done gushing. 
 
No, not really. Sorry. Not sorry. 
Just apply duct tape, 
I'm not going to shut up about how exciting it was to have him. 
Can't heeeeelp it.	
----
			
Kaelish that's awesome!
 
Even though RP is just play, our characters and stories get entwined with others.
 
I don't think I could ever "unwrite" some of Rocio's mates at this point because they've made such an impact. Now that Rocio's on the run falsely accused of terrible crimes no one is allowed to quit game. Mkay?	
----
			
Hey guys, hate to have to step in here, but we need to refrain from making this personal please. 
 
Thanks

Eh personal?
I'm not even trying to attack Tex......I know where his frustration comes from, just trying to pull him back to the "happy" side......

I totally wasn't getting personal. I was being honest with someone I've come to respect.
 
Sorry if that's not welcome here.

I think in general we live in a culture where it is very easy to complain, anonymously, about anything we don't like.  And if there's one thing that's true about people in general, it's that we love to complain.  It's an emotional response, a normal part of being human.
 
But sometimes I think we forget that when we complain, it influences the opinions of others who see it.  We may just be looking to vent a little bit, or looking for some support from our friends, but a complete stranger happens by and overhears our complaints, and depending on their own take, they have an emotional response too.  Sometimes even worse than the complaint that started it all.  And sometimes in complete opposition.  That's the sort of thing that can put friends at each other's throats for nothing more than a simple complaint that really wasn't even all that big of a deal originally.
 
There's a lot of folks online who don't even stop to think about this before they post something.  I think most of us here in the TMC thread try to filter ourselves a bit, because we all value our community and don't really want to watch it tear itself apart, but we're just a small group of posters on this forum.  But it's hard, because we're passionate about the game, and that means we get emotional when it falls down for us, or when we see other people "attacking" it.
 
For my part, I try to always be very thoughtful in what I post, even if I'm really just whining about something, and word things in such a way so that it doesn't cause other people to get even more upset than I am.  I'm not always successful in that, but I try.
 
Anyway just some musing.  Gotta go eat some toast or something.  Conference call in 11 minutes.  Have a fun day all, in Wildstar or out :)

Not sure when quoting Batman and mentioning the people who clog up General (no one in this thread) with "goodbye" or "wildstar needs to do x, y and z to make ME stay" threads was attacking but a-ok.

Good morning everyone! That Protostar cake looks amazing! :D
 
I hope everyone had a good night in WildStar. :) I finally got to play a little bit over the weekend. Xvira was covered in dust and it took forever to get her off the couch, but I managed to get some play time in with her. :P I still can't decide what I want to replace on my housing plot in order to place the Lopp Party FABKit. I'll need to replace either my Ferris Wheel or Hoogle Henge. >.< The Ferris Wheel was expensive, so I don't want to just get rid of it. And Hoogle Henge... is Hoogles. I can't get rid of Hoogles. x.x Dilemmas! I think it might be possible to -build- Hoogle Henge out of other objects though, rather than using the FABkit. I'll need to get creative!
 
Anyways, I hope everyone has a good day on the forums! :)

Oh jabbit, you are the biggest troll I've ever known. Also, points for creative answer.
 
 
Lopp Party is the only FABkit I really can't get behind because well... Lopps, also because I just can't do that challenge. Don't stand a chance. It always bugs out and none of my controls take my forward. Doing that backwards it a pita. As well as sideways because then I dash!

Third cup of coffee, acquired.
 
Anyone know if WS supports a system that when you /e for emotes, you can auto generate a person's name without having to type it out specifically when they're targeted?
 
Like a certain other game had %t to generate, say "Darhath" while he's my target?
 
@Darhath - I'm going to log in soon, to heal some vets, you wanna come?

{| class="blockquote"
My engi is, yeah. It was just really late, so I didn't do much beyond asking in /z to see if there were any Explorers nearby.
 
 
 
Since I reorganized some alts last night, I now have 3 and 3, so now I can exploit play both sides equally.
 
No, my issue is that I play too late at night.

Thanks for offering. I can account friend you with your character name.
 
I was actually planning to track the Kickers down for some ginvites once my main is actually on Evindra. He should be arriving tomorrow, assuming all goes well with the second transfer.
 
 
 
Did you play the original Guild Wars back in...let's say 2005-2006, by any chance?
 
If you want to talk about overly entitled healers, let's talk about how an entire horde of Monks (the game's only healing class at the time) got together and essentially unionized in-game and started charging people for heals. ANet eventually had to step in and I'm pretty sure they actually resorted to threatening bans.
 
It was hilarious, but only because my main was a Monk and my guildies knew they could always ask me for help.

Does cross server friending work?  Because if it does, you're gonna get invited to come play with all of us too now :)

I dig the matria-less society thing you've got going on there too.
 
Icelus asked me about surnames, what Kael's is, and then I hit the Lore Wall of I don't know something and can't ask. They're so tight about their lore and all I want to know is if a consort can take on his matria's surname or if that's purely a marriage thing for Aurins.
 
Also, while trying to bounce that off my guildies' heads, it got leaked that I write and have a maintained website. So then everyone had a moment of "Put me in #LifeofKaelish! Write me in! I need surname ideas, can you help with that, omg why doesn't your site have your story on it?" Soooo many questions. Now I need to make a few Aurin surnames and wiggle them all into #LifeofKaelish. It's going to be fun, I'm really glad to see my guildies are friendly to this sort of creativity and I'm so swamped with house decorating.
 
How many mates does Rocio have?

Actually looking for someone to run vet adventures with atm, my guildie has two on other than me, but I can swap to Evindra, friend you, account friend (to avoid the buggy ui) and then we can drag you with us if you've the time.

If you're in Ohio, drop by.  I'll have a more specific date once we've picked between the weekend of the 20th or 27th.  Also, if you've never been and you do go, make sure you check out Sons of Sandlar (tunic I wanted pictured below with some of their other fine products) and Legacy Forge.  It's worth a little extra money to pay for the quality of real crafted leather and stage-combat capable weaponry.  There's a lot else out there, too.  We get incense and candles from the Ohio Ren Fest every year.

			What's the difference between add and accept and just add? I had a buddy that lives in Jersey that did SCA and such has his own tailored sure of plate armor. Though he has yet to take pictures to prove it. Then again he can't at the moment as he's going through a divorce and she has his stuff until it's finalized and she has to give his stuff back.

Cool! Another Rennie. I used to be a regular at Pennsylvania Rennaisance Faire and a sometimer at the Maryland Rennaissance Festival. I was a staff photog for PA for a few years. If interested you can see some of my work from that at:

W* wise, grinding level 50 for my six toons. I got an AMP upgrade drop yesterday! (SQUEEeeee) I listed it on the CX as I don't really need it now. Those are listing at 33P on Caretaker so hopefully I'll get lucky and somone will buy mine.
 
Have a good day everyone!

Yeah, I know a bunch of people here are from Ohio, but I don't know how many go to the Ren Fest or were planning on going sometime this week.  If so, I just wanted to make sure I could say hi while we were there chomping on turkey legs and whatnot.

Yeah, unfortunately, that might be most of what I get.   :lol:
 
Artisan crafts are expensive, but I really don't want to skimp on the weapon if I get it.  My Irish *cupcake* is already beat to Hell and back from sparring.  If I get my warhammer like I want, I want legacy to do it.  Their goods are built for stage combat, so they're incredibly durable and easier to maintain.

I don't really do that stuff. I'd be open to it but I have like no funds and no real transportation that isn't bumming rides from my folks.
 
From the little bit I'd heard I'd probably want a backsword, maybe a longsword. The tunic seems a bit much though, looks like you'd trip over it. I think I'd like a good cloak even for every day use. I believe it would be much better for rain, as you can just wring it out.

			Managed to sort a whole lot of things today so I am in a good mood. I spent the last of my currency on my Exiles characters to buy CREDD.Question is: can I redeem it outside of the game in case I cannot redeem it today?	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I cannot "like" this tunic more than once.  DEAR GODS WHY???
Want.
Now.
In game and out.
If it had sleeves, I'd wear it as my winter trenchcoat.  O_O
 
That reminds me, the Texas Renaissance Festival will be starting up soon and I REALLY want to make it this year!  Garb...oh garb...I don't even think I have any appropriate garb that fits anymore.   :(
 
Okay, so the chocolate covered bacon experiment (see yesterday's coffee thread for picture) appears to have been a partial success.  The two folks on keto diets (Keto Test Subject 01 and 02) who tried it said it was awesome and salty + sweet perfection.  The one control subject on a normal American diet looked at it with trepidation and took a cautious bite.  "What is this anyway?  Also, why chocolate + bacon?"  The answer, as with such things, is "Why not?"  There do exist chocolate bars with bacon, and I've seen this mentioned on Food Network and also on various keto recipe sites.  Control Subject 01 said he wasn't sure if the bacon was too burnt to enjoy, or if the unexpected combination was just too unfamiliar to him.  Admittedly, the chocolate used was 100% dark and I do not eat bacon, so there could have been any number of things "off" with the finished product.  More experimentation may be needed as Keto Test Subject 03 will be coming into work later today to provide another data point.  As the intended recipient of the chocolate covered bacon is also on a Keto diet, the 3 Keto Test Subjects should provide a good enough (if unfortunately limited) pool of data to draw conclusions from.
 
There may also be a raspberry bacon cheesecake (keto friendly) in the near future if I can obtain materials in time.  If that ends up happening, then the Chua Science will be limited to my kitchen tonight instead of in game...
BUT WE SHALL SEE.
 
A lot to do, a lot of work -- and possibly some light killing.
 
-T.

I'm making an RP game for an event. Everyone gets a food pouch, canteen, a datachron and one special item.
 
There are four special items. Each item can only be used once per day.
 
Water Purifier: Fills your canteen to prevent thirst that can cause you have an accident and to be Wounded. Wounded status means you cannot use special items.
 
Medkit: Cures Wounded status on one player.
 
Solar battery: Allows datachrons to be used at night. (Datachrons help by allowing you to use one special item twice during daylight hours unless the item is held by a Wounded player.)
 
Flashlight: Allows you to find a one time use random special item at night.

Good afternoon morning coffee folks!
 
I had a powerbar harvest and a sugar free red bull for breakfast this morning as I had an early morning start and had to eat and drive. 
 
In Wildstar news I finally caved in and bought Margaux a spacious Cassian house. I've been learning a lot as I go about how to add additional floors, walls, hallways, staircases, etc and now have a ton of rooms to furnish!

Wow. Warbringer's hasn't been that low in ages. IIRC, it was up to 8-9p the middle of last week.

Banner saga is 50% off on steam and I figured for ten bucks it wasn't that bad. It's almost supper time at about 4:25pm US central.  I'd be happy to do some exile dungeons with somebody today if someone wants to, but I'm not sure if I really want to pug them anymore, due to people's inability to take wipes without running away crying.
 
My character's name is Thedek in case someone wants to add me or invite me for a run. I'd also do Hycrest insurrection if someone wants to, I believe  those scale you down, and if I get all of the weapons from there I think I get talent points.

			I did spend currency on my Exiles to get a CREDD. I just totally forgot to redeem and use it. Turns out you can redeem it from the login screen after your sub expires. One more month! Getting lonely on the Dominion though. Bouncing around both factions puts the population difference under the spotlight. The difference in population is almost blinding.

Inter-Galactic Empire that outnumbers Exiles 1million to 1 in videos, only sends a Coffee Club crew to Nexus, whereas Exiles send their entire population + half the Aurin one, the Granoks who aren't cowards and pretty much the entire sane Mordesh population to boot, meaning ingame it's 1million to 1 in exile's favour haha

In Wildstar news I might be able to play longer since I've been getting lots of commissions all of a sudden. When it rains, it pours. On the other paw, it means I have less time to play than before because commissions. Lulz.

This one is a tasteful nude featuring two characters so while it may be NSFW it's not 'adult' or anything. 
 
 
This is a WIP. I've been a huge fan of Randy Rhoads for most of my life. He's why I got into playing guitar, and my fursona is very much inspired by his look & attitude (Randy was a very sweet person).
