I work Monday to Thursday, three day weekends for me every week So thursday is sort of like friday except everyone else is at work so its even better

hmm perfect chocolate cake you say? Do you mean this by any chance?

*runs around screaming and panicing*
You cant put a tardis inside another tardis, all sorts of terrible things could happen. The whole wibbly wobbly timey wimey thing could become undone, Cats could eat breakfast with Dogs, sack people could start walking around!!!! its madness i tell you, MADNESS!!!!

oh and on a more important note, who brought the donuts today?

The good thing about fish though, is that you never have to try to remember their name. Just stick two fish in a tank and you can watch them calling to each other "Bob Bob Bob..."

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe a mini-moat? Or how about just a fish tank?

[/ QUOTE ]With all the cats/catgirls/catboys floating around virtue a fish tank would not stay full very long

I wish I had a video camera with me this morning. The main motorway (Freeway for you colonials) around london was shut down in both directions whilst a couple of pooches played "keep away" with some nice police officers. Had a great view being up front in a convertible

Im not certain I quite get the punchline you set up for the first one, Hypocratic oath. All I see are a series of council mbos standing around on a generic streat corner.

[/ QUOTE ]Thats actualy the entrance to the "secret" council bunker in the RWZ, its worth a look if you haven't seen it before.

*floats gently alongside the rookery and admires all the pretty colours*
Due to a slight medication level mix up, I will be spending most of today high as a kite

Is buffy realy worth watching without at least the slight hope of a leather clad willow?

For a non RP based explanation you might consider the fact that hero side, magic gets lvl 13 acuracy SO's which is always a bonus, and then later in the game the multi origin SO vendors list Magic first. Back when SO's where the best you could get untill hami's this saved a lot of scrolling on the vendor's as they would "forget" where you had scrolled to when you slotted the enhancements you had just bought.

I know that a lot of my SG still default to magic out of habit from the days of SO's.

Plus never forget the wise words of lucy lawless "A Wizard did it"

*grabs a tobogan and a spoon and dashes into the freezer*

Pft, that was only an "ok" on the new years scale, I woke up the next day and only one state over. Now new years 06 was good, I woke up under a park bench, 4 states over and 5 days later

...You have no room to throw stones, dear sir, as you have a liquid breakfast as well!

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah but I try to keep it healthy by not having too much coke in my JD, gotta keep the callories down

And yeah the shirt does glow, for a short while. Shortly after that shot was taken I wandered outside and reduced a passing child to tears. Never actualy found out what hapened to that shirt, Woke up the day after that photo without it

What is this fascination with coffe? I have my breakfast right here

Heh, me and Mr Lump will be fine, fortuantely I live in a country with free healthcare, I only have private as I beleive that if you CAN afford to pay for it you should, A spot of surgery and I should be fine, although probably needing to use a cane. I already plan to shave my beard down to stubble and start wearing sneakers to the office

As for Mr Red neck, unfortunately for him I am a 6'5 security expert with friends in obscure places. I am currently formulating numerous plans for dealing with him, including at least one involving the phrase "unfortunate frog gigging accident"

When life gives you lemons, rub them in the other guys wounds, its fun

Want some whine to go with that emo sauce? lets see, so far this week.

Doc's droped the word "non" from the phrase "its probably non malignant"
Medical insurer is trying to claim that the golf ball sized blob that is snuggling up to my femoral artery is a "pre existing condition" and not coverable.
Red neck hick from heck is trying to get me fired again
Red neck hick from heck has made another round of thinly veiled references to his gun collection and having access to my home address
Pointy haired gimpoid from head office is playing the random job re-shuffle game in an attempt to get people to quit and thus save the severance fees.
My moderatly non insane boss got re-shuffled sideways to make room for a glove pupet from head office.

But rather than go emo, I am just playing a slightly modified version of the old Chris Rock Classic in my head.

Dont go to <offices> with metal detectors.
Sure, It may feel safe inside,
But what about all those (BEEP) waitin outside
They Know You Aint Got One!

The evil smile on my face is causing a nice level of fear verging on terror throughout the office. :P

sounds like the vidiot maps map pack.

Praetorean Recluse's spider arms got stuck on a missile fin. and Axis America Recluse's arms got sucked into a jet engine. There actualy was a Rikti recluse but he had an unfortunate accident involving an express elevator.

In the repeatable RWZ missions, one of the bosses refers to the player as "birth body" I have never quite worked out if this is supposed to mean "un altered" or literaly the rikti's birth body, i.e. you and that rikti are each others alternate self's.

Thanks... now I really want an underpants zone in the game!

[/ QUOTE ]

Dunno about you, but when I play, I'm always in an underpants zone!

[/ QUOTE ]Theres a reason my sg won't let me play with my web cam on any more

Can i slot Karma: KB Protection IO in combat flight and have it active all the time or is it only active when combat flight would be toggled?

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as I know KB prot IOs are always on, like set bonuses.

[/ QUOTE ]Demobot is correct, however if you are still unsure stick it in incandescence which is an always on power anyway. Paragonwiki page on Karma.

Base Repricing
1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?
I get to re-build our three man base to be more impressive, As our sg is completely un-interesed in raiding there is no more base "condent" to work for but now we can expand the plot and buy bigger rooms.
2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?
Yes definately. The current base design is dedicated by cost
3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?
The re-build to the current configuration took nearly 8 hours (not counting trial runs and previous incarnations) so I am expecting at least twice that.
4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?
I am fairly sure that our SG falls into the "sweet spot" for gain versus effort so only positive things from me
5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?
Short term is more fun time re-building the base, long term probably no affect except for potential re-builds

Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage
1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?
the old base components where cheap and readily available on the market. New items require rare and expensive items, so re-building any crafted items is going to have to be avoided if at all possible.
2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?
Larger plot size, and larger teleport chambers rather than the smaller rooms we are using now.
3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?
what adjustment?
4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?
Crafted base items are now going to be much more expensive in terms of influence negating the prestige savings for smaller groups.
5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?
none its a three man group with no pickups

I'm almost to the point of telling people that the Scoop is best viewed in a standards-compliant browser. Internet Explorer just plain sucks.

May I suggest you try Firefox, Opera, or Google Chrome?

I doubt that the page can get fixed before Monday. I'll see what I can do.

Edit:
Actually Internet Explorer isn't having an issue with the CSS. Apparently it is not working correctly with the age old standard Table tag. It is MS's faulty display, not the html that is the culprit here.

[/ QUOTE ]Hey it says right at the top of each forum, no discussing politics (or has this reached the religion level now?).

To be less of a smart alec, there are people out there with jobs that let them surf the net, but not install whatever latest and greatest browser with the three hundred plugins required for an "ideal" browsing experience.
