It's been a Robert Smith kind of morning.  How's everyone doing this morning?  Unfortunately my morning coffee has been non-existent so far.  Busy busy morning at work coupled with my desire to sleep in as late as possible this morning has left me drinking caffienated water.  Water Joe!
 
In Wildstar news my show was quite fun last night and had brand new listeners and we all had a great time.  I'm still sort of in shock over how smooth all of this has been.  The march towards 50 continues tonight I believe for Malak.  I've been kind of run down the last couple of days so my motivation to level has been kind of crap unfortunately.  I think it has to do with Farside.  When I leveled my Warrior, Farside seemed to go on forever for me, and I'm square in the middle of it with Malak.  As a DPS medic I've gotta get up close and personal but he's lacking the armor of my warrior and the mobs are occasionally too closely packed so i end up running for my life after attracting half the zone with Quantum Cascade.  It's hilarious at times but it kinda feels like that "mid level drag" that most games have where the pacing is great, each zone seems to last JUST long enough to end just as you start to get tired of the zone.  You then find that one zone that goes on a bit too long and you're tired of it halfway through the questing and it becomes a chore.
 
But I can't wait to get him to 50.  I like being a utility man and between Vanessa and Malak I have all 3 classes wrapped up and able to help wherever I'd be needed.  I like support roles much more than straight out assault so I'm sort of thrilled by this prospect.

Rocio got into a public fight at the bar yesterday.
 
 
RPing public battles isn't that hard, even if its impromptu.
 
How I like to do it is first of all, inform the other guy that the fight can happen. Face it, people love fighting and if you whisper them, "Keep talking buddy and Rocio's going to roundhouse kick you into Illium." They'll usually be like. "Oh yeah! Well if Rocio doesn't stop making that face, he'll be missing a nose!"
 
Then you know it's on.  My biggest tip on public impromptu fighting is: take your time and talk.  Maybe you do want to pull a gun and start shooting everyone, but you gotta wait for the other people to let them know what they want to do, maybe they have an even better idea!  So once the main protagonists have their battle plan more or less mapped out, go ahead and play it out. People around won't know this actually has a plan and resolution though and may want to join!
 
Oh no!  Some random guy wants to join the battle!  Sometimes they'll just walk up and interfere, putting up blocks or try to break up the fight or even just walk up and attack you. If you wanna keep fighting, go ahead and whisper that, after all, this is something you've already worked out with the other character. And then whisper your opponent of what you'd like to do...
 
"But Rocio.... this sounds like its a lot of work... and it sounds slow. I just wanna walk up and punch this guy in the face."
 
 
Too bad. You can't do that, you gotta get permission and communicate your intentions or the fight won't be as fun.  It's fun if you communicate trust me.
 
usually if I'm play-fighting another character and someone else wants to enter the fray. I'll send a quick whisper. "Hey, where do you want this to go?" Or, "Please let me know what you want to do so I can react to it."
 
Maybe Rocio will get punched in the nose like he did yesterday. I'll let him get cut or stabbed... I'll also let him get away, counter, and attack.  But only if that's fun for everyone. And battles are very fun. I LOVE fighting Rocio and Rocio loves fighting!

			heh we both created a morning coffee thread at almost the same time.  Great minds and all that.	
----
			
Any "Cure" day is a good day DJ Malak. ;)
 
Logged in to WS tonight but, with the current WoW event going on, I played that more.
 
Still like WS but, I still like WoW too! :)
 
So ... (and I wish I could post pictures ) but, why not both ( insert the internet pic everyone knows)? ;)	
----
			The thread's all yours tomorrow Rocio :)  I'd been tempted to renew my WoW sub to play around a bit but I've got way too much on my hands here in Wildstar to where if I"m not doing guild stuff or station stuff I'm either leveling Malak or playing around in Minecraft a bit.  Minecraft is kind of my zen happy place.  I wiped the server last week and started over.  I built a wilderness outpost and am kinda "roughing it" even though I've got all of the high tech machinery modded in, I'm still using furnaces and such.  It's kind of refreshing.  But I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up for the station and the guild so I'm firmly going to be in Wildstar.  Good thing the bonsai trees I've been pruning in minecraft won't get all wild if I don't play for a few weeks.	
----
			
Now I have Fascination Street stuck in my head - which is a good thing. :)
 
Morning Tea is McCormick's Blend.  
Morning Breakfast is at work, probably bagels.
 
Frantic day today, so likely no WildStar for me.  Meeting, meeting, dr appt for pre-op (ankle surgery, too many triple jumps in my youth I guess), then another meeting at work.  I'll spend at least half the day in my car.
 
Malak, if you need company in Farside just let me know!  I'm 28 on Lament, and I had to leave Whitevale last night - just way too big and overwhelming.  Got to Farside and logged out, figured a change of venue might help my sanity.  So if you ever need a questing buddy or just a pocket tank, let me know!	
----
			
Good Morning Everyone!
 
Two cups of coffee and an egg sandwich this morning for breakfast.
 
Today is a beautiful day, too bad I have to be inside at work all day. I really need to win the lottery, so I can stay home. :)
 
Didn't log in last night, RL got in the way of me killing pixels. Hubby is sick, so I made him some home made chicken noodle soup then spent the night on the couch with him. He's like a little kid when he is sick. Always wants me to be touching him and/or cuddling with me. But I love him anyways and wouldn't change anything about him :)
 
It's finally Friday! I am hoping today is an easy day, so far so good. I will be on this weekend. I am not missing ThaydFest.
 
Hope you all have a great day!

When I leveled my Warrior, Farside seemed to go on forever for me, and I'm square in the middle of it with Malak.  As a DPS medic I've gotta get up close and personal but he's lacking the armor of my warrior and the mobs are occasionally too closely packed so i end up running for my life after attracting half the zone with Quantum Cascade.  It's hilarious at times but it kinda feels like that "mid level drag" that most games have where the pacing is great, each zone seems to last JUST long enough to end just as you start to get tired of the zone.  You then find that one zone that goes on a bit too long and you're tired of it halfway through the questing and it becomes a chore.

{| class="blockquote"
Sorry! There are IC consequences to fighting in the open like that. I'm sure Seeger doesn't care, but some folks do.
 
Rocio's been arrested before, (the charges were dropped but... everyone saw him in cuffs). Last night, the Wildseeds lost two members ICly because they feel Rocio's confrontational speech puts everyone in danger. (It does). I try to warn them IC that there "will be blood" so to speak, but Rocio is just so pretty they can't resist.
 
Lots of people may not like him, but lots of people do. Not everyone at the bar appreciated Windflowers actions. The conflict, controversy and continued conversation after I've left thr scene really makes it worth the consequences.
 
Plus I like Zapping people with Weave magic. Who wouldn't?
----
			That's good to know. Rocio needs allies who don't mind being tied to the stake next to him. When I said he doesn't care, I was referring to the IC consequences of his actions, not that he didn't care for the scene.

Seeger was around to watch the tail end of the fun. 
 
<snip>
 
Ran a normal Skullcano as a DPS (yay!) with the BDS.  I kind of figured, Well, how long could it run?  Turns out I was up until 1 am and didn't even know it.  But Black Dagger Society are great people to run with.  Nobody was in a hurry, we went over boss mechanics in detail, it was really just the best kind of dungeon running night.  Some things I took away from that night:
 
-Lag sucks when you're trying to interrupt
-Houngan is pronounced "Jesus"
<snip>
-Kaelish also doesn't keep the mic on (also, got to meet Kaelish last night!)
 
So thanks to the BDS for letting me tag along.
 
<snip>
----
			
Oh... hm. :unsure:
 
Aurin aren't supposed to be battling each other... female Aurin that is. But if you give a male a boom-stick, better duck.
 
The ladies are just acting IC when they whine that Rocio's gone mad with power. He hasn't. He just doesn't put up with their passive-aggressive politics. 
 
Before this they hired a bounty hunter on him, ran after him into Wllderrun then clawed his arm until he ran away, so yeah, if he sees them he's not going to be like "Hi guys! :lol:"	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I missed it, couldn't find him anywhere, my bad I guess. Got home fairly late! Logged in even later!
 
Houngan isn't really, is it? :P
 
Also! Hello, my love. ;) Was fun last night to play with you lovelies. Sorry for being a bit rusty, I literally haven't run any content in about two weeks. Aaas for my microphone, it's connected to my headset, unless I have that plugged in, it won't work. So if I'm just sitting around Thayd or Housing, my speakers are on. Therein... gotta restart WS for sound in headset.  <_<
 
Sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to harass me on TS some day. Just you wait.. :lol:
 
Also, I have to say, lag really bites when you're trying to line up heals as a SS... RH/Sustain/Resolve/Void Spring ftw.

It was so awesome to be able to drag both Seeger and Kaelish into Skullcano last night :)
 
It originally started as a Crimelords run (would have been faster), but we realized that none of our healer-qualified people in that level range actually have healing gear yet.  So, we went Skullcano instead and I was healing on Tal :)  Then after we got to Bosun, one of our guys had to drop for wife aggro, and so Kaelish came in and took over healing and did a way better job than I had been doing :P
 
Work actually starts at a sane time today (9 am) so spending the next hour or so doing forum things in preparation for ThaydFest.  Ya'll might want to check the two ThaydFest posts in the Entity forum in a couple hours for the updates.
 
Also, I love my new server, even if it has a silly name.  Zone chat in Thayd so far is a riot, and just about everyone I've met has been awesome :)  The Evindra folks are out in force, too, and I'm pretty sure we're making a great impression on everyone else.

I typically roleplay Rocio from 6 to 9 pm EST before hopping over to my other character for the rest of the night. Rocio is typically at the Black Hoods bar, the Arborian Gardens, Sylvan Glade, Wilderrun Torine area, or at any public event happening.
 
I use The Zone addon to find people ...

Makes sense why I missed you then!
 
Gah, another addon. .-. Suppose I shall have to pick that up.

Good morning, everyone!
 
Last night was a good one for Skullkickers. I was pretty exhausted by the time I logged in, so I did Northern Wastes and then just about nothing else productive. However, I ended up sitting in Scaarinen's housing plot and made some fun additions. The tower is growing, foot by foot.
 
But, the important part is that while I was in the housing zone, I saw someone ask about any casual guilds...so...I started recruiting! Not spamming; I hate chat spam. I just responded a couple times with an invitation to talk to me about Skullkickers.
 
Ended up getting three new members outright, and two more may join over the weekend! Woot! :D
 
The downside is that I foresee Skullkickers gradually moving away from RP...none of the five new recruits are RP'ers. But, I made it clear that everyone is expected to respect the people who do choose to RP. I just hope it doesn't result in us losing a few of the core people who are really into RP. :unsure:
 
{| class="blockquote"
As a DPS medic I've gotta get up close and personal but he's lacking the armor of my warrior and the mobs are occasionally too closely packed so i end up running for my life after attracting half the zone with Quantum Cascade.

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Got out of work early today because I got in early. The secretary called me at 3am asking me to come in in half an hour. Joy. I still took the time to have Cheerios for breakfast.
 
In honor of our new server, here is a picture of the...thing...that we SHOULD have been named after but the character's name is, in fact, THE Entity.
 
 
In WildStar news, I have recovered from the initial shock of seeing a truckload of people around Thayd. However, I find myself having little motivation to play knowing very well that outside of my own little routine, nothing is going to happen. That being said, I intend to change things around today. I might step on some toes but hopefully, things will turn out alright in the long run. It will be for my personal enjoyment of the game, after all. Oh yeah, got a couple of new dyes too! That's always nice.
 
More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!	
----
			I'd lose interest pretty quickly, too, if I was doing the capital city challenges every half hour for RNG dye boxes that seem to only reward dyes you already have. ;)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey, I did offer to heal Crimelords. One of my favorites.
 
Plus, to be fair, I didn't have heal gear on either. That was totally a derp move. Remedied quickly -- though a normal mode one hardly makes the difference noticeable!
 
Jabbit. Those laser beams. I didn't think I'd done Skullcano before, but I know I was pulled in at some point for that last fight with the vet mode version of those horrible laser beams. HORRIBLE. That fight was so /wrist I can't even begin to...  :wacko:
 
 
P.S. You Evindragons are hard to find for RP... I can see your emotes, just can't bloody locate you.  :unsure:

"The Entity" is perfectly fine grammatically. In this case, "the" ends up being an adjective indicating that we're discussing a specific entity that is distinguishable from others, and both words are capitalized because it acts as a title or a name rather than a generic noun.
 
I'll send the grammar police away now.

I actually looked for you when we were trying to get Crimelords rolling but I think you must have been logged out for dinner or something.  No worries though, there will be more....much more.... BWAHAHAHAHA *cough*

The Entity probably just has a gianormous ego. "We...are The Entity. THE Entity. Better than ALL the other indescribable things on Nexus."
 
Wouldn't surprise me. Still, The Entity would have been a fine server name.

Rocio and I are planning some IC shenanigans. Be scared, Entity, be scared. >.> Or come see with a bag of popcorn, it should be hilarious for various reasons.	
----
			
I disagree. "The Entity" is perfectly acceptable as a title or name, because it is specifcally intended to disregard any other entities around. See the second definition here.
 
It's similar to referring to a family as "the Johnsons." There are multiple families named Johnson in the world, but you're referring to a specific one, intending that the others be overlooked due to context.

Hey, we're allowed.  This is Wildstar related grammar.

Speaking as an English graduate, grammar is often as correct as the next person telling you it's correct. :P  Language is symbolic and as such is arbitrary in many ways. Hell, look at the differences between American, British, and the now-hybridizing Canadian English structure. Plus all the different style and grammar guides. 
 
I've always disliked this side of literature, personally. :P
 
On another note, super looking forward to tomorrow and I've got a pretty new costume to enjoy it in! Also, just wanted to add another reminder that if the Skullkickers need help with anything, let me know, I'll be on all day. Oh and are the Skullkickers providing the prizes or is Neph dishing out for Dominion side as well?	
----
			I am good at starting things I had no intentions of taking part in, apparently.In WildStar news, I just got done with Northern Wastes and somehow landed TWO new dyes! Impossible!

So, in non-ThaydFest news, it looks like next Thursday the Daggers will be running some public dungeon groups for new players, players who have never run a dungeon before, or people who are trying to learn how to tank/heal and would like a fun/friendly group to practice in.
 
I gotta confirm with my guildies, but I'll be posting a thread about it on the Entity server forum probably on Sunday, after ThaydFest.
 
If it works out well we'll make it a regular thing and pester other guilds on the server to do something similar ;)

That second definition only works in a specific context.  From your second defintion:
 
 used to refer to a person, place, or thing that is unique: the Queen | the Mona Lisa | the Nile.
 
The reason that doesn't work isn't because of "the" it's because of "entity".  If it was the only entity anywhere, it would be fine.

Sure it works. Using the first example: the Queen. There are multiple queens in the world. Your argument that The Entity is egocentric is valid, but ultimately irrelevant. If you choose to refer to "an entity," that's fine, but I won't know which one you're talking about.

Good morning everyone who's still morning it up! Stayed up a bit too long thanks to a combination of checking wildstar tumblrs (Which never happens, wow) and some custom channel RPing exile-side (It's kinda like a com-call channel, GlobalRadio if you're interested).
 
Oh, yes. I have an exile, maybe more on that later. For now! Breakfast is more oatmeal! It's nice to make when I'm still waking up and only have an hour before I start to prepare for work. Yesterday was fun, although by the time I got home from work I was too tired to do much. I'm hoping I can drag some friends into veteran dungeons tonight, though. It could be fun! Also I have that silly attunement thing that I will probably just get up to the point where I could raid but don't. But we'll see! Also I should check out ThaydFest tomorrow, see how that goes.
 
Location of the day! Fate's Landing. Fun story about this one, this is what drove me to figure out how to climb around Illium, and while I was disheartened by my first approach trying to get here (The walls of Illium are a lot less climbable than they look), I managed to find a way to a balcony that was perfect for this screenshot.

...and all this talk about Skullcano makes me want to run it again. I've only done two of the dungeons so far (and only on normal: Ruins of Kel Voreth and Skullcano) and I really do enjoy Skullcano. Even though Mordechai wrecked me six ways to sunday. Honestly the Mordechai fight is the best part. I should at least re-watch the datacube I got there. Oh, and probably go back in to get all the lore I missed.
 
And drat, time for work-prepping. See you all later.

			I managed to snipe my way to Bosun Octog and got 4/5 datacubes. I could have solo'ed Bosun Octog with a little bit of practice but I figured the last datacube is probably not worth the trouble. Still, I can see where this is going. Silly Nazrek.

KHT will be updated as early as this weekend. If there are things to work on, Bitwise's rundown on addon changes has yet to be pushed out, so I can't make promises. Presently, the /ht pl function is working.
 
As for Rocio/Kael -- we'll see when we can make that happen!

In English, it's better to default to Ms. Most of the feminine honorifics have connotations that can be objectionable depending on the person you're addressing.
 
Ms. is essentially all-inclusive the way Mr. is for men, and I have not come across anyone who objects to it (yet).
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Good to know. Lost in translation, though I should have known better. My engineer is named Madame Butterfly (after the opera) and I knew about the redlight district thing but I could have swore the spelling was "madam" in that case.
 
 
 
I am French-Canadian. It is customary to apologize for everything. Sorry :wacko:
 
Not sure what it is about today and semantics xD

Ironically, the reason I used "Frau" and not "Fraulein" is because the opposite thing happened in Germany.  It was essentially German "Mrs." and "Ms." respectively.  Fraulein was outlawed for official use in the 70s and even today is taught to not be used.  Every woman is a "Frau" now as soon as they're not a Maedchen.  They don't want you insinuating a woman isn't married as if there's something "wrong" with her.

			To get back on topic, which must involve WildStar, I ask the following:Does anyone know why we cannot have an apostrophe in our house's name? I wanted to call mine "Reaper's Landing" after my character's ship but I cannot. No decent alternatives come to mind either :(

What Kaelish said.  In computer code, special characters like apostrophes are often "escape" characters, that tell the compiler that the text following them should be treated in a special way - an input string, or a separate command, or something like that.  This is a problem both for input and output - for example, even if you can get the code to store the string with the apostrophe intact, anything that reads that string out of memory has to understand that the apostrophe is part of the string, and isn't an escape character in that context.
 
It can be done of course, but it is more tricky to do than most people think, and if something gets missed it can lead to all sorts of wacky bugs.
 
Ack, what am I doing.  /workmode off.

Chua is Chua.  Everyone knows.
 
Very intriguing.  Science may be needed to discover why!

			I haven't tried, but can you any kind of special character in your house plot name?

I think it's highly likely that you also know or could guess the reason no one has discovered the secrets of Chua gender.

			I was going to post this morning, but I was too busy kicking myself. Ever have one of those mornings where you're raring to play, motivated to do all those fiddly things you've been putting off, and they just stop going your way? I did. I decided to level my Architect some, since the Megaserver merge had given me access to a Miner alt with a ton of spare ore. I had mailed it over last night before bed, and was really looking forward to do some work this morning.It went pretty well all told. I blew through most of Journeyman only wasting about 10g on blown attempts, and unlocked the resource fabkits I wanted. Then I saw it: Advanced Omniplasm. No problem, I have a Technologist, he must have a ton. Nope he had 19 to spare. So I mailed that and went out harvesting for 40minutes. It was pleasant enough, but tedious. Then I mailed 150 to my architect. Then I switched. Then there was no mail. Then I realized I hadn't made sure to click Instant. Then I logged out because I didn't have an hour to wait. :)Ah well, getting back to it now. Just felt silly about it at the time.	
----
			
I imagine that pink mushroom cloud would result if the Kaelish got angry.
 
Also, she's 'the' Kaelish now.  Kinda like The Entity, only a better color, and much nicer and easier on the eyes.  Any other Kaelishes are just imitations.  Why?  Because she donated a ton of prizes to ThaydFest :)
 
see what I did there?

lol Speaking of which, do you need anything else for ThaydFest? I can't guarantee I'll be there, but I'll try -- my sister is pretty random about "LET'S GO DO THIS" -- secretly, I think she's a Chua. There's no planning with her around.

I am sulking due to my own indescion and inability.
 
I love my guild they are some of the nicest folk around but I was always a little nervous about rolling on a PvP server. I thought no it will be fine, I am not that bad. However, it turns out I really am that bad. So bad that doing dailies now there is some actual population is just me running back and forth from a graveyard. It is so far 23-0 in the kill ratings in one night in one zone! Yes that bad!
 
So do I make use of the free transfer and make a new home on Jabbit leaving behind some great folk, or do I stick it out to be with people I have known since beta but spend most of my time as a corpse? Oh and I have until Monday to make the choice... why you only allow time limited one way transfers Carbine I shall never understand!

Wildstar....tonight and Saturday. Hoping to improve my RP (going to install Killroy). Sunday off to a funeral for a dear friend. I suspect that as sad as Sunday will be it may turn into a bit of a celebration of his life. My friend was a talented musician with many, many friends, and the wake will have an open stage for performers and those who just want the mic for a bit.......sorry to vent :)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm sorry for your loss. I do hope it turns into a celebration of his life--that's the best way to send someone off. Grieve for the loss of them, and then celebrate what you had with them, because as long as you can celebrate and remember what you enjoyed with and about them, they'll live forever. :)
 
I've been holding off on Killroy. I feel like if I do without, then I'm "old school" or "hardcore". :P But I guess it'd make things much easier... I just dislike having so many addons!!! :P
 
Edit: I also love your Engineer's name. Props.

I've read numerous etymologies on Mr. Mrs Miss Ms and on. The only thing I have come to the conclusion on is that there isn't much of a consensus. However much of the variation comes from usage in a particular location. The origins I make the most sense are Mr. = Master, and Mrs Ms Miss = Mistress. Titles given to those in charge of a house The Master and Mistress when shortened easily become Mr. and Ms. if you take out all but the first and last letters. The daughter of the house could easily been called the little miss. just a shortening of mistress. It's all very interesting and dun to play with.
