Let's start off with the poetry of John Audelay, set to music and performed by Huw Morgan choral group.  I think partially because I watched some John Woo last night.  The other was that we've been hitting some people for not spelling correctly on the forums (often rightly), but I thought it would be fun to put up a poem in Middle English so people could see what the language looked like.  The choral link isn't the whole song, but I thought it was so gorgeous.  I posted the full text though.
 
 
There is a Floure
by John Audelay
 
 
[REFRAIN]:  There is a floure sprung of a tre,
The rote therof is called Jesse,
A floure of pryce;
Ther is non seche in paradise.
 
[VERSE]:  This flour is fayre and fresche of heue;
Hit fadis never, bot ever is new;
The blisful branche this flour on grew
Was Maré myld that bare Jhesu —
A flour of grace!
Agayns al sorow hit is solas.
 
The sede hereof was Godis sond,
That God himselve sew with his hond;
In Bedlem, in that holé lond,
In medis here herbere ther he hir fond.
This blisful floure
Sprang never bot in Maris boure!
 
When Gabrael this mayd met,
With "Ave, Maria," he here gret;
Betwene hem two this flour was set,
And kept was, no mon schul wit,
Hent on a day
In Bedlem, hit con spred and spray.
 
When that floure began to sprede,
And his blossum to bede,
Ryche and pore of everé sede,
Thai marvelt hou this flour myght sprede!
Til kyngys thre
That blesful floure come to se.
 
Angelis ther cam out of here toure
To loke apon this freschelé floure —
Houe fayre he was in his coloure,
And hou sote in his savour! —
And to behold
How soche a flour myght spryng in golde!
 
Of lillé, of rose of ryse,
Of prymrol, and of flour-de-lyse
Of al the flours at my devyse,
Thet floure of Jesse yet bers the prys,
As most of hele
To slake oure sorous everedele!
 
I pray youe, flours of this cuntré,
Whereevere ye go, wereever ye be,
Hold hup the flour of good Jesse,
Fore your freschenes and youre beuté,
As fayrist of al,
And ever was and ever schal!
 
I love old forms of English.  Anyway, coffee with flowers!
 
 
In Wildstar news, I played on Herrick with my wife last night for a while, then hopped to Seeger after Cycotik made it to the server!  We're beginning to set up the sky fortress now, so ask him to be your neighbor if you'd like to see how it's coming along.  We only had time last night to start getting plugs in place and remodeling the exterior of the bar and inn in the middle.  I'll begin this week at some point in earnest in setting up the outside so we can get that techno-industrial-tribal-western feel.  Let's see how I can make that turn out.
 
Also, getting some feedback on the RP backstory that was posted that is positive, I'm just hoping the criticism isn't sitting somewhere I can't see it.  If you're in Blazing Saddles, please check out the rough draft of the basic lore I've called out in the guild MOTD (it's on our guild forums in general discussion) and send me any concerns or additions you might have.
 
Tonight, I've got my Nexus Report TL;DR to type, then I'll be in the game!  Shaping up to be a busy few weeks at work though.
 
How are your houses coming along?  Do you have a dedicated "guild house"?
 
EDIT:  always fun copy/pasting this stuff in!

Feeling obscure this morning or just trying to make up for the awful pictures from yesterday??
 
There is nothing to say about John Audelays' education background, maybe he was a stable hand. Look at Eric Hoffer, he has extraordinary insight and a 6th grade education, I bet he couldn't spell very well either :)
 
Oh and Morning!

Rocio's tribe has tribal "lands" cut out of the Wilderrun jungle. They are composed of the housing plots of all the members.
 
His plot is called the Wildseeds Lair but we RP on all our plots as part of the same section of jungle.

I don't know about anything guild related atm.
 
However.... I've finished relocating, got a few things to tend to before I can log back into the game for more than five minutes.
 
I hope everyone is doing well and being sweethearts to one another. Otherwise Wrath of Kaelish will descend on you when I fully return. Just you wait. One setback to moving.. I have a standing desk, my feet hurt from all the walking around I've done to get thing settled. This... this is horrible for playing WS. Going to need to find a tall chair. 
 
Therein lies my WS woes! Enjoy! Off to run errands, take care lovelies!

Morning everyone! I'm just waking up to a nice cup of coacoa and some oatmeal nothing special...
 
Skullkickers is pushing onward and upward! I'm writing up a draft for our guilds story which I'll hopefully have done soon to go along with some changes we'll be doing, very excited!
 
Housing wise I set aside part of my housing plot(Typrops Grotto) for Skullkickers, though the area was originally a Mechari strip bar called "Precious Metals". I put up pics of the place earlier and we had our guild meeting there the other day as well, I was happy that people liked the setup and will be working to make it even better!
 
Typrop is also now apparently a mechanical foster mom for two little Chuas as well.
 
 
As for pictures...well I do still have some Mondo beach party pics I still havent posted yet...hehe

			I'm still spelling it "gaim".

Oh no, Audelay was extremely well educated.  His first language was Latin, as he was (you may have guessed from the song) a priest.  He's responsible for a lot of early English carols.  The idea was that, prior to the invention of the printing press, language was extremely fluid and phonetic.  He spells "flower" at least two ways in that song that I've seen.  Back then, there was no "right" way to spell, especially in lay languages like English (which had just started coming out of the merger of old English and old French).  Floure, flour, you can see the French influence still in the word at that point.

A hearty how-do-you-do to all my fellow Coffee'tarians!
 
Had a pretty good Wildstar run yesterday! Some random Exile patted Muncheez out in Aurioa, he followed them for some time simply to growl at them, they found it pretty amusing (at least from what they were emoting). So close to 20 which has me excited but then I'll finally start seeing.... *gasp* NEW CONTENT since my highest level toon on Evindra is 22. Outside of that, some idle browsing of the AH and CX followed by light crafting and off to bed it was for me.
 
Make sure to make your day in Nexus an enjoyable one!

			Just popping by to say I'm glad the Skullkickers are continuing. Shame how Scott treated you guys really. I couldn't do that to my guild.

Poetry, huh?  I've always been fond of 'Curiosity' by Alastair Reid.
 
An excerpt.  It's apropos to dungeons and raiding :-)
 
And what cats have to tell
on each return from hell
is this: that dying is what the living do,
that dying is what the loving do,
and that dead dogs are those who do not know
that dying is what, to live, each has to do.	
----
			
My circle is thriving under both internal and external conflict. Rocio's exhausted dealing with it all and is hoping a few group activities can be the tortilla in his tribal Soft Taco and kinda hold everyone in so that they can reach their IC goals.
 
Having your character on the run from the law is really tough on.recruiting so Sunday I'll have another public event followed by some additional recruiting efforts.
 
If you have an Aurin that falls outside the norm and enjoys constant conflict intrigue and adventure this is the circle for you.
 
I mean I'm the Circle lead and I have no.idea what will happen when I log on.

Good morning peeps ;)
I'm not really into poesy, sorry. I just know some Emile Nelligan french poetry (had to copy a bunch back when I was a naughty kid at school)
 
this morning is chocolat milk and a muffin for me ^.^	
----
			*pops in for coffee*  Work has been habitually kicking my arse, so not much to report in Wildstar stuff.  Still waiting on MegaServer date or info on Halloween patch.  But yea, if anyone sees my free time, I've put out a BOLO.  Feel free to detain it and question it about its whereabouts.  Thanks!	
----
			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Day off! I will be going to the theater tomorrow evening and I will have to go in Friday morning. I am otherwise free to powerlevel my Esper. Nutella croissant for breakfast. Nothing fancy.In WildStar news, my Esper is level 24 so I am busy hating Whitevale. I hate Whitevale so freaking much. Espers are painfully slow levelers early on so hopefully things will speed up once I hit 25.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do.	
----
			
Good morning everyone.  I hope everybody has a great day today :)
 
I won't get to play any Wildstar until tomorrow evening at the earliest, but I'm glad to hear that the Skullkickers and Blazing Saddles are bouncing back well from the changes they've just gone through.

Let's drop some poetry... FOR THE SADDLES!  From SEEGER'S NAMESAKE!   In fact, it's my favorite poem of all time.  Seriously.  This one.  This is it....
 
 
 
I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH
by Alan Seeger
 
 
I have a rendezvous with Death 
At some disputed barricade, 
When Spring comes back with rustling shade 
And apple-blossoms fill the air— 
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair. 
  
It may be he shall take my hand 
And lead me into his dark land 
And close my eyes and quench my breath— 
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death 
On some scarred slope of battered hill, 
When Spring comes round again this year 
And the first meadow-flowers appear. 
  
God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down, 
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, 
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, 
Where hushed awakenings are dear... 
But I've a rendezvous with Death 
At midnight in some flaming town, 
When Spring trips north again this year, 
And I to my pledged word am true, 
I shall not fail that rendezvous.	
----
			
Too many deady-death poems.
 
Shel, drop us a beat.
 
 For Sale
 
One sister for sale! One sister for sale!
 One crying and spying young sister for sale!
 I’m really not kidding,
 So who’ll start the bidding? 
Do I hear the dollar? 
A nickel? A penny?
 Oh, isn’t there, isn’t there, isn’t there any 
One kid that will buy this old sister for sale, 
This crying and spying young sister for sale?	
----
			Still here, just in super lurk mode. Not really sure what I'm doing in wildstar, guess I'm waiting for the version from the PTR to move to live. 	
----
			
I'll submit one of my personal poems I wrote when I was readying myself to move from Georgia USA to here in the UK.
 
Mother of Nature There are nymphs in the forest, there is mystery in the air. There are secrets in the murky waters of this world. There are fauns in the groves, there is seduction in those eyes. Oh! How to escape from reality! How to live one’s life from pure ecstasy! Every snapping of every branch is a clue for the ear to catch. Where they made their last sounds, they never are in trickery. Hidden are these beings, once created by Gods. Ever watchful, ever playful are these mischievous souls. Running, playing, frolicking these creatures are only seen in the way the wind blows. How pleasant! How green! How I yearn to be part of it! This pure paradise, how long have I ignored thee? It wilts my essence that you will be unheeded once again, only to be treasured by my entire being more. Farewell, my temple, do not forget me. I wish it be that your green arms encircle me once again. Always there, ever-changing, omni-present, is my Mother of Nature .
 
As for Wildstar, I've poked my head in a few times. Today I'm gonna try running a dungeon. My head no longer hurts when I talk or sing. I don't get dizzy. I went on a walk today. I should be okay to play as well :)

			JUst to bad there isn't any normal traditional Aurin rp out there.  maybe we can't handle it :P	
----
			Poetry isn't something you can force feed people. The Alan Seeger one is something I would read on an autumn day on a deserted beach or maybe some of the collected poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay....

There once was a lonely young Mordesh
who was shamed of his necrotic flesh.

or be specially rude.
I cannot find a way to stay fresh!"

So I was listening to some songs and found a new theme song for Rocio. "Rabbit Heart" by Florence and the Machine.
 
It really echoes how Rocio is IC. How his powers were so Shiny and New, but now he has to "offer up" repeated sacrifices to keep his newfound life from falling apart... but the allure of his success and his secret treasury he's amassing holds him tight and so he'll keep on course no matter what he has to do.or give up.

Morning Tea:  Ceylon and India.
 
Breakfast: Corn Flakes - Don't judge me!  I was lazy.
 
Game Goals:  At this point, just logging in will be a win!  Yesterday I was offline making industrial-sized containers of soup from all the leftover food at my mother-in-law's, and today going to help her start sorting finances.  Whenever you think about someone dying, you think about the sadness of it all - nobody ever talks about the metric -hit-ton of WORK that remains in picking up the pieces!
 
Poetry:  Amazingly, one by Emily Dickenson that *isn't* about death.  I think there are like....three.  (My other favorite is a poem by Burns Singer called "Nothing" that I adore, but cannot find it online.  And since I like you all, mostly, I will spare you the agony of wading through my own God-awful poetry.)
 
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
- Emily Dickinson

			Hehehe, Seeger's song is obviously...

Good Morning Everyone!
 
@Niliana - Very happy to hear you are feeling better! :) Vertigo is no joke and takes forever to get over, at least it seems that way.
 
Had a veggie omelet for breakfast with bacon and coffee. This has been a three cup of coffee kind of morning :huh:
 
Have been so busy IRL that I have not had time to play Wildstar the last few days. When I got home last night, I decided that I was going to play no matter what. The hubby, daughter, and dog could take care of themselves. And everything else could wait. Sat down after supper and was bringing up the game. Got to where you put in your authenticator and .... boom! Holy Hell loud thunder that shook the house and knocked the power out!!! I was so displeased with Mother Nature :angry:
 
So I spent my night reading my kindle (thankfully it was fully charged) and listening to my Ipod. But the time the lights came back on, it was time for bed.
 
Tonight I will be playing Wildstar, hopefully :D
 
Have a wonderful day!

A Book Of Memories
by Kathleen Sheppard
 
Hidden in the attic,all the way upstairs,is something very special,that I would like to share.My hopes,my dreams,old photographs,of good times and bad times that make me laugh.The joy of a hug,the thrill of a kiss,leaves me to remember the pure, simple bliss.I cry for the fun,and giggle for the pain,I enjoyed the good life I was able to maintain.The thoughts and wishes,they all stay with me,all of these contained in my book of memories.

Rocio was horrified to find that in his absence some if his members were making deals in Illium with members of the opposite faction to strike back at an enemy on the Exile side.
 
OOC I felt this was pretty backwards too. Is Dominion so kind hearted that the Exiles create more RP conflict within their own ranks? How is that canon?

Good morning!
 
I was never big into poetry, but having English teachers in high school ram it down my throat completely ruined it for me. Ever since, I just can't get into it, with the sole exception being song lyrics. Put a poem to music, and you have my complete attention. Just written out...not so much. But, then music's always been an important part of my life.
 
Anyway...one of the poems that I've always had an appreciation for was Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Most people would recognize it from Richard Cory by Simon & Garfunkel from the 60s. I've always liked writings with a moral.
 
In Wildstar news, I didn't get much accomplished last night, other than meeting two very rambunctious Chua Skullkickers who were (affectionately) giving Typrop hell. Typrop asked me to help with the Skullkickers' PvE organization, so it looks like I'll have to learn the adventures and dungeons fast!
 
I'm currently hooked on a book, and when that happens, not much gaming gets done. :rolleyes:
 
{| class="blockquote"
In WildStar news, my Esper is level 24 so I am busy hating Whitevale. I hate Whitevale so freaking much.
----
			
Ahhh screw it. I'm sick of my name being thrown around here, mention and you will summon.
 
I didn't mistreat my guild, I'm not happy with the direction the game is going so I decideed instead of becoming the vile toxic troll I hate (which I was turning into \.) I'd leave for my own sake and the reputation of the Guild, I talked to Typrop about it, In officer chat (yeah game has that.) and gave him the guild, then gave him the website. 
 
I left the guild in good hands, I didn't just up and leave without replacing leadership. I didn't make a thing out of it.. because why?
 
So please there you have it. Let it go. i still lurk the forums from time to time to see what's going on to see if Carbine has come to their sense on the things I don't like. I don't appreciate seeing my name being used in falsehoods.
 
I am always watching...always.

Not to take us into doom and gloom mode, but the Dominion faction is largely nonexistent at the moment. For Dominion RP'ers, I would imagine it is rather lonely unless you start dealing with the Exiles, whether it's canon or not.
 
 
All of a sudden, the Mos Eisley cantina song pops into my head. :D

There are many reasons. Some just hate how large it is. Some simply hate the snow and how bland everything is in that zone. Not to mention you're in there for like 10 levels or so.
 
Personally? Find Whitevale to be scaled poorly. Until you get past the Lopp village, you will most likely be fighting mobs that are 1 or 2 levels higher than you. That is (usually) a death sentence for light armor classes, Then there's Snowshadow Junction (or whatever it is called) where you die if you pull more than a single monster...and they're all packed together. Fun times.

As someone who completes everything before I leave a zone, I have the opposite problem. I'm almost always 2-3 levels above where I should be for the content I'm doing. I rarely have a quest that isn't grey.
 
I just like that there are some funny quests in that zone.
 
 
What in the world...? OMG, it's the Middle Eastern harbinger of Gangnam!?!
 
I like Middle Eastern music (despite usually having no idea what's being said), but...wow.
 
And it did get the hamster song out of my head...until I thought about it getting the hamster song out of my head, which put the hamster song back in my head. :wacko:

I do everything too, minus challenges, and am either on-par or sub-par compared to the monsters. I assume challenges give XP or something like that?

Just because I haven't gotten down on the poetry so here's my attempt, in rap form.
 
My name is Cj and I'm here to say,
I enjoy exploring Nexus almost every day.
From the fights, to the sights and even including the frights.
Not having fun? Well that isn't my plight.
 
My guild's the Skullkickers and no we ain't bitter.
We only practice happiness cause there ain't nothing better.
RP, PvP and even PvE, we do it all day if you know what I mean.
Now we've come to the end of this silly little rap
about Wildstar and how this game's all that.

Good Morning / Afternoon Everyone...
 
It has been quite some time since ive posted, and since ive even played Wildstar.  Been super busy at work and not home much to play, also my computer at home is not handling Wildstar very well. Hasnt from the geto go, but it has finally taken its toll on my playing experience. 
Also xbox one has taken its toll on me of late. Ended up getting Destiny so in the little time i have to play anything thats where i am at the moment. Also been very stressed / excited about my upcoming move to Colorado, lots of stuff going on. I sincerely appologize for not being around, especially to those in Skullkickers. I ended my subscription for now. Im hopin after i get to Colorado and get a stable job I can afford to throw a new computer on my credit card. Having bought a new car recently i am hesitant to spend too much yet. With new computer will come playable experience in Wildstar im sure, since as of now i still get around 15 fps and that just makes me sad lol.
 
I miss you guys, and gals. If you happen to have xbox live you can find me there   name is  danikaze    otherwise i hope to see you all in the future of wildstar, or any other game for that matter.
 
P.S.  I am glad you kept things rollin Ty!

No, I'm in Vick's boat.  I complete all the quests and tasks and I go in order, so I tend to be a few levels above what I'm killing.  I've never completed everything and ended up underleveled compared to what I'm fighting.

Odd. I literally cleared everything before Wigwali village and ended up at least 1 level under the current monsters' level. I do not bother with the housing XP buff so that could be it.
 
Anyone having issues logging in? I can't. Says my credentials are wrong but I can log on Carbine's website just fine. And yes, I have the 2-steps authenticator (Windows version).
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
If you want, post your build, maybe we can make improvement recommendations that aren't expensive for when everything stabilizes.  I know my computer isn't super expensive (my GPU is my choke point) and it runs Wildstar just fine.  However, it might be a simple improvement on one component that could make it run better.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
oh its a p.o.s  lol  right off the bat the first thing wrong is it contains those 3 letters AMD.  Its old, doesnt even run WoW very well anymore. Also im quite computer illiterate so i wouldnt know what anyone would be talking about if they suggested anything lol. thank you though :)

{| class="blockquote"
Make sure the authenticator and your computer are timesynced.  A good way to check it is to wait for it to cycle a code, then enter it ASAP (check to see if you clock is running a little fast).  If that doesn't work, do the same thing waiting for the last second before it refreshes (see if it's synced slow).
 
After that, also make sure you're entering your password correctly.  They don't have a different message anymore if you mess up the password or authenticator, so you don't always know which is wrong.
 
Also, did you finish the last zone completely?  I dinged 50 halfway through Grimvault on both my latest 50s.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'll check for a sync flaw when next I log off.
 
I finished every zone completely, including both Celestion and Algoroc. The achievement log says I have completed all the quests that are available. All my characters dinged 50 somewhere in the Phagelabs. My Dominion Esper was permanently under the housing XP buff and dinged 50 within the Phagelabs as well. I must be missing something.

Outside of not doing shipands, pvp, dungeons and such, the only difference I could see from a regular player is challenges. I do none of them while leveling.

Path tasks might be the difference, if you're not doing those. I think they give normal and path exp.

I am doing those. They only give path XP until you hit max path level (30). After that, you get large chunks of actual XP for each mission you complete.

Medbae has been on a lot and dropped off lately.  Also, I think it's clear that Med's computer is kind of old and foggy and it was stated that computer literacy isn't in the cards here.
 
If I wasn't computer literate and heard some people who were say AMD is crap, it's possible I'd believe it.  And depending on who you ran into first on your way to Computerliteracyland, God only knows what everyone grew up thinking.
 
For almost a year, I actually believed that DSL was as good as a cable line.

Perhaps we can look at it from the perspective that even just knowing that some of this stuff is IN the drop is good news, even if it's buggy at first.
 
Obviously in-game + not buggy is preferable, but in-game + buggy means that we get features we're asking for, even if the devs have a bit more work to do.
 
I'm watching the stream, and we're going to be able to change the terrain, too!!! Yay! I'll be able to use the snowy sky without it looking dumb!
