What? Think you're rid of me THAT easily? 
 
Pfft. It's not as easy as that. I'm like that really groovy tune you can't take off of repeat. 
Breakfast! Let's see what we've got/ 
Mmmmmmm...blue milk, and Princess Leia Danish Do's! 
http://www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=2347
(Blue is just food coloring though I've used Jello mix before. I'm weird like that)
 
Eh, they're not Dunkaroo's but whaddaya want? 
 
As far as Wildstar goes I'll probably take Zid out later just to get a few more screenshots of my handsome chua version of me.

Good morning ya'll!
 
Firstly, breakfast and some coffee...!
 
Much coffee, so doge
 
I just ate a bowl of apple and blueberry oatmeal 
while watching this video

My guild did it! We freaking did it!
All the hardcores who trolled my petition post who said a casual guild couldn't raid, that we couldn't even touch X89...were proven wrong last night. 
 
 
Casuals can do anything they set their minds to. Even if it takes a little while longer.
 
Plans for today include leveling an alt. Because I removed an officer who had the Clan Uzekamanzi home plot on his, I'm having to level an alt to help replace that. No big deal, easily done. :)
 
My husband's off at work until very late tonight, so I'll be making my own version of fat free donner kebab.. :D and home made chips. Man have I missed cooking! I made tobasco and lime marinated steaks last night, it would have been amazing in fajitas, but they were just too good to not eat right away!
 
Don't lose heart guys, 
Niliana
 
Also this will be my last coffee post.

			Chua curious....What those white thingies on plate?	
----
			
Goodmorning!
 
Had some coffee and a melted cholocate cake slice... who on earth eats cake for breakfast! (it is a leftover from yesterday :P)
 
I am still trying to process the Twitch Report from yesterday. While I am sad that Halloween is cancelled, I am hopeful the monthly gift will be extra-special to make up for it. (shameless, I am just so.. shameless :P)
 
In the actual game things are great and we are having a blast leveling our Dominion characters which is a relief from RL and other problems. Leveling on Dominion, I am inspired by the architecture of some areas and the level of detailed beauty in the game. Well done to the artists.
 
Did I mention I hum the Dominus-tune from Ellevar constantly? :)

No gaming for me, still very sick so I have been living vicariously through everyone else' gaming and especially the housing forums lately. 
 
Those danishes look amazing - I tried to eat this really yummy lumberjack sandwich for lunch today and it just wasn't happening so it's back in the fridge. *pouts* 
 
Niliana great job on the raid bits.

When Oli asked, I immediately thought Cinibuns ...
 
I mean who besides me would want:
 
Clove buns with Lime icing. ;)
 
In WS news: My army of alts is growing and mighty and totally clamoring for megaservers so they can get all into BS ( 12 alts ) and SK ( +6 more )
 
Typrop ... please email me concerning well ... just email me in game so we can talk. ;)

Thanks for rolling Niliana's thread into this one. I know I'm not here for much longer but since I have till the third I didn't see a reason to stop posting, and I saw that I'd helped get the other thread locked so I figured I should be the one to start a newer, hopefully more positive thread. 
 
Hope you're feeling better soon, Chillia. 
 
We just got the bill for my partners gallbladder surgery...$100k! Woo! And I'm getting teeth out Thursday. Yay! XD

Ohhhh that sounds like so much fun! I miss doing that sort of stuff. Unfortunately because of where I live now it's not really an option (tiny little town on a mountain, I'd have to LARP with the squirrels and deer).

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?First, I just got home from running down to my local pastry shop (same building, two floors down) at 7am because danish pastry is genius. Cinnamon-y morning with milk! Yum! Money well spent. Beyond that, I am working from 3pm to 9pm today so WildStar during the day but barely any in the evening. Not much of a difference from the usual, really. I also discovered the artist "Woodkid" recently and I have been listening to this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eje2r90MkGE) in a loop for a while. I first heard it from the movie "Divergent" but happened to stumble upon it again while watching a stream.Today is a very large image of Mondo Zax. My CREDD expires on October 9th so expect daily Mondo.
 
 
 
In WildStar news, I am still disappointed by yesterday's Nexus Report. Frost's departure leaves me cold. He was a fun personality on the WildStar stream but beyond that, his "hardcore" mentality felt inadequate in this era dominated by the GIMME NOW! MMO populace. Hopefully, Donatelli's "100 pages worth of patch notes" will be revealed soon. The announcement that we are not getting holiday events this year means we have nothing to hold on to until "late October, early November". I am still writing the State of Challenges in WildStar report, hoping that it will not fall on deaf ears and will probably be my last piece of work for this game. I have reached Farside and completed both bio-domes so I am headed to the surface to finish the zone. I think I have made 2-3 plats from all the junk you get from mass-killing so many mobs. The last thing on my mind is the one AMP I am missing: Duelist. That one does not seem to want to drop. I could buy it off the PvP vendor but I dislike PvP so that is a big no-no.In charge? Mondo. Test subject? You. Begin? NOOOOOW!

If you are on Evindra (and playing Exile), you have something to look forward to in mid-October.  Something player-run.  We do what we can :)  I posted the entry thread for the housing competition yesterday, as a matter of fact.
 
If by chance the megaservers happen prior to the 18th, then all our friends on the other NA servers will get to join in the fun too.
 
Niliana it is so awesome to see that you guys did that!  I totally agree with you that "casuals" can raid too.  I hate the mentality that people get that you have to rush to the end to be an effective player.  It's so not true.
 
Chillia, I hope you feel better soon!.  I have had a horrible head cold the last couple of days.  I think it is on its way out now but being sick just sucks so much.
 
Anyway busy day for me - just finished breakfast, grabbing coffee, and have to go do some work now.  But I wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone - I'm not going anywhere, the Daggers aren't going anywhere.  We're still here.  See you all on Nexus tonight after work! :D

Hi Kimmia. Rocio would like to convey his thanks for mooing at him. Sooo.... thanks.
 
The Wildseeds have suffered from the recent announcements so to relieve pressure on my group I lowered the RP setting from Heavy to medium. I won't be makong unique events but will use the circle to support private and public events and plots.	
----
			
Thank you police... No, seriously and literally.
 
 
On my way to work today, a sheriff appeared behind me.  I didn't get it, I wasn't speeding, wasn't doing anything illegal, my car is new.  He must have just been going the same way.  Nope, pulled me over almost at work and came over to tell me my tags were expired.  I politely asked if he was sure, since I just got my Jeep in January of this year.  He said he was sure, apparently, your registration in Ohio expires on your birthday.
 
Now, I've lived in Ohio most of my life.  I always thought my registration renewed on my birthday because I registered my first car on my birthday and registered it religiously since, just ironically on my birthday.  When I registered in Texas, it wasn't on my birthday, but it didn't renew on my birthday, I'd bought an annual pass.  Apparently, not in Ohio.  I bought a new car in January and paid a full registration fee that I, apparently, was supposed to renew again two months later on my birthday!  Seriously?
 
Well, the sheriff was a decent sort.  He looked at my record, probably saw how clean it was, saw I had never been arrested, and figured I literally didn't know.  He cut me loose with a warning and told me to get it registered.  Which, I'm still a little agitated that I only got two months out of the last time I registered, but thanks to the Sheriff for not wrenching me for a ticket.
 
Got to work, the forums were down. *sigh*  It's been a tough couple days and work is picking up again with how busy it all is.  We've got the town hall meeting tonight that I'm registered for and will be around to chat in.  And there's a lot going on here on the forums.  We got told no holidays, the earliest we'll get drop 3 is October 21st, the megaservers might be there in a few more weeks, Frost left the company, it's not the best couple days ever.  I spent some time trying to recruit and handled some more guild organization.  I wrote up the new draft 2 of the guild backstory and know we need a new forum for the Saddles.  I am essentially the lone officer in my guild and I'm trying to cover a lot of ground because everyone wants different things at different times of the day and I'm doing my best to organize all I can.
 
But man, I logged in onto my Esper that I'm leveling to put the Shadowcaster on his plot, and everything melts away.  Every time I'm feeling stressed and getting caught up in the feedback part of my responsibilities and trying to articulate the best ways forward for our guild and the game, the sheer excellence of the game, the joy of just relaxing and playing, is why I want to continue.  Because this game deserves it.  I moved through Galeras quests, path missions, and I should clear the back end of Galeras tonight and end up in Wildstar if I have any kind of time to play tonight.  I know Donatelli's drop notes would perk me right back up again and prove how much work they've done and what we're getting, but nothing is better than just getting into the game and playing.
 
I'm going to focus now on the RP side of things before the megaserver drop and look for someone to run the PVE side of things.  If I can't do both, I have to stick to what I'm best at.  And I'm okay with saying I can't do it all.  As long as I can log in for my 15 dollars a month and play, and the devs are listening and working, everything will be just fine.  I can't wait to play some more.  It always makes me feel better after a long day. :)

Is Halloween really such a big thing abroad? People are really upset about the canceled event judging by the
disapointment voiced in some threads....
As a kid we never had any Halloween Events IRL in Germany
 
There were Halloween Specials on Tv but I have never seen kids wandering from door to door
to collect sweets while wearing costumes.
 
They trie to make Halloween a thing around here with special events and partys but in the end its always just about
drinking alcohol.	
----
			
*pulls Nephele aside* we....should talk about some...things...*slips a private note into her pocket and pats it* get back to me when ya can...
 
Last night was a bit rough for me, very tiring day with my UC flaring up as well(so might need to go back to doctor soon) and with recent announced news got quite a bit of other bad news as a result from friends so I didn't have much heart to really do more than a bit of farming. Must carry on though!
So today talking to a few people about some events we might hold this month, going to try pulling people into group content tonight as well...
 
Grats to  Niliana and hope you feel better soon Chillia, being sick is no fun.
 
@Vic, if you need any help please feel free to ask if theres anything I can do.

I miss the summer, I woke up cold and shivering because Happy drug my blanket from my bed and stole it

			Just wrapped up and posted my report on the State of Challenges. The achievement tab says I completed 280 challenges to write that one forum thread about the few (grossly) imbalanced challenges on the Exiles side of things. Satisfaction is a fine feeling. Hopefully a developer will notice the thread and take it into consideration. It was fun and rewarding to do though! I made a lot of currency and got many AMPs that sell for a significant amount of gold.Next step will be to reroll a character and do the challenges at-level to have a definitive idea of which challenge is overtuned but that will not happen before a good, long time. Heck, it might not even happen at all if the patch notes do not get published and prove to be satisfactory (for me).

I got married on Halloween at a giant costume party, actually (which is why my wife is dressed as a princess, I was dressed as a cowboy, and we were married by a fairy in our altar photo).

Nice write up.  You and your alts.   :lol:
 
Maybe since you've got alts at 50, you can run a few to see if they get easier or harder by changing classes?

In Wildstar, I'm still occasionally doing housing plots. My plan is to at least buy a couple of CREDD and not redeem, before my current CREDD run out on Nov 30th. That way, I can come back later, if I want.
 
BTW: Waiting until Megaservers to buy CREDD. I hope it will bring the price down a bit.

Does it make you a hippy when you're dressed like a cowboy, though?

Wow, Frost leaving *almost* makes me want to come back and play.
 
Then I saw that the holidays are cancelled.
 
Oh well. So much for that.
 
Is there any GOOD NEWS surrounding Wildstar any more ... I mean, other than Frost leaving?

I'm actually really interested in reading their patch notes. Apparently, Donatelli wants to turn them into a file to give it to us. As depressing as knowing there won't be a Halloween or Christmas in-game is this year, mostly what I came out of this week's Nexus Report with was a real desire to read that packet of paper.
 
I mean, I'm going to sub into October without question; I'm still enjoying the game. But I'm very interested to see what all they've done. I know I should be somewhat disappointed, but I just want those patch notes.

			Those patch notes cannot come around soon enough. 100 pages? Okay, I'll dedicate an hour to reading all of it in the name of potential, which is what this game has. October 9th is my CREDD's expiration date so if nothing of interest happen before then, I am pretty much over and out. That is almost a week, counting the weekend, which I have off. That means lots of WildStar.My report already caught some attention so more feelings of satisfaction. I will attempt to complete it throughout the week. I would not be writing it if I did not enjoy this game, I suppose.

Keep up the good work with the TL; DRs Vic. The shows definitely need a write-up that's filtered through player perspective.
 
As for the 100 page buglist, is it handwritten? Any reason is not already in electronic format somewhere, and if not, I think I've found half the reason why they are having such a hard time squashing bugs, I.e. no good electronic/automated bug tracking/ticket system.
