Yarg! I am snorgled!

*pops up next to kitteh Emmi and hugs*

Super sekrit stealth hug mission.

*pops back under the ground*

*picks up Fedor, pats him into a small sphere and throws him like a curve ball*

There you go!

For the record, I never got into any of that stuff. Forums is enough for me. I'm to chatty to twit.

Hmm.... I'm planning on seeing Harry Potter today. Will have to leave in about 15 minutes if I go. I'm just not honestly sure I'm in the mood to walk up to the theater and sit for 2.5 hours today though...

*quirks her lips slightly, but is far FAR to serious to ever giggle or give in to tickling*

That is 50 points from House Sackboy, Mister Fedor. Now get out of that flying saucer and take you seat.

*a small cat makes its way into the classroom and runs to the front, leaping up and changing halfway into a very prim and severe looking witch with a neck-to-floor length robe, gold and maroon markings, small glasses and a hair bun so tight that not even light can escape it.*

Alright class! Pop quiz, so put your books away and wands up. Mister Potter, Mister Weasley, Miss Granger, you are all excused to go have dangerous adventures while the rest of the class actually learns things.

*gives Fedor a non-charred donut*

But.. he can't nom a flaming donut...

*holds up a donut sidewase*

C'mon Fedor.. jump through the hole. Jump boy!

*cracks a whip, putting Fedor into a Sack Boy Lion costume*

Unfortunately Cap, logic and reasoned arguments don't even make a dent in the armor of ZOMG I'm right u suk noob!

*gives a mild chuckle and goes back to slumping exhaustedly*

See now, I'm one of the people who liked TR and sad it went away. I was in the beta too, and one of the people surprised a bit when they went live with it, since it wasn't finished. But not terribly surprised was pushed out in an unready state.

TR had a very rough and rocky life. It started out as an Aion like mystical high fantasy ultra pretty Korean-style MMO. After a couple years of development, someone decided they didn't want to do that. So they hired Richard Garriott, completely threw out everything they had done up to that point and made a Sci Fi shooter/mmo. The only thing kept was the name, and even then they tacked Garriott's name onto it.

So for another two years the game was in development while Garriott and his PR staff are promising the game to be the Next Big Thing. The second coming of MMOs. It will make you forget everything you knew about MMO gaming before.

And in the end, they were pretty much blowing smoke out their bums. Aside from actiony elements and the cloning system, it was pretty much like every other MMO, only doused in sci fi shooter sauce.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what was promised and only really appealed to the cross section of people who both liked Sci Fi shooters and MMOs, instead of drawing people from both crowds like they were hoping. It certainly didn't help that it was pushed out early and not really complete.

Over the year it was in operation, a lot of the bugs were fixed, things were added that should have been in from the start and improvements were being made. But as usual, if you have a bad start in the MMO field, you get bad mouthed through your entire lifespan, no matter how much you improve.

Then Garriott went into space. NCSoft's bean counters were never happy with the performance of the game, because they wanted WoW level subscription rates, and they were lucky to get Matrix Online levels... They were less happy with Garriott it seems, and when the opportunity arose they forced him out. A big outcry was this was barely a month after them announcing that they were going to continue to support TR as one of their AAA MMO titles for the foreseeable future and hand no intention to close it. Whether that was two departments not talking about their plans internally or just smoke and mirrors, we'll never know.

Garriott got the boot and they made it seem like it was voluntary. They shut down the game and everyone who liked it was out in the cold. I suspect a lot of the reason why they shut it down was the name 'Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa'. They couldn't continue to use his name without him being there, so when they kicked him they had to flush their 5 year + investment down the drain.

Not bad... We were kinda short people. Only 6 showed up, including the extra we picked up for the night. Emgro had to suddenly drop out during one of the missions, leaving PainfulVirus to 'tank'. Much steamrollering was done. We got up through and beat the living pants off Captain Castalano or whatever his name is. He went down like a $5 .... chump. Everybody's now at level 20 or so and there was much flurrying to pick up Stamina.

hmm. I'm pretty sure KISS was after the 50's, Pogo...

*drops down out of the rafters onto Tiger's back and sprawls out*

So stiff and sore today for no good reason... ugh. Morning everyone.

*teaches the mice to sing in chorus*

Next week we're working on the dance routine.

Thanks all

Sorry Pogo, I missed the announcement.

*shares catnip cake with Pogo and puts a paper hat with a big 5 on it on his head*

Congrats!

Start time is 8pm EST in Faultline. Levels are.. 16 and 17 I think?

What do you think this is, some sort of forum where you can just post your fluff willy nilly and get away with it? I don't think so. Not on my watch! Virtue forums is serious [censored] business!

*catches onto Fey's trailing sleeves and gets carried along*

Get me out of here too!

While I dearly love you all for being nice to me today, work has decided to be a big old pile of [censored]. Not only do I not have my pay which I should have gotten yesterday yet, every time I've turned around they're pilling more and more stuff for me to do today.

I wonder if they still make the Bertie Botts Jelly Beans. We had some fun times at work with those. *drools* the popcorn flavored beans were divine.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can still find them, Jelly Belly puts them out and they have those yummy buttery popcorn flavored ones as a part of their normal line!! I'm partial to the Pear and Peach ones myself.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, buttered popcorn has been part of their line since way before Harry Potter. I like em. My favorites are still the Tutti Frutti and Watermelon though.

It's all a ruse. We're really right bastards. Seriously. Can't trust the lot of us. Everything we say is a lie.

But.. if everything you say is a lie, then you're lying now, so everything you say isn't a lie which means what you saying about lying is a lie, so that means you lie but you told the truth and lie and truth and...

*shorts out and pops the top of her head off, sending springs and gears everywhere*

*sets Emmi down on top of the tower (about three feet off the ground) and leaps for the fuzzy distracting thing, falling tragically to her demise on the ground below. As the camera slowly pans in on her prone body, she gets another wiff of the catnip toy and bounces up to chase it again*

*roars and swats at Becky's plane too*
