Rookery Mindless fluff Thursday =)

I'd agree with Becky and Fedor. Going to a social group just seems to be exclusive and somewhat of a capitulation. Never understood why folks get so upset over a thread that shows up once a day and people post on.

/e shrugs.


Mornign Yankee Dave.

That smells really good.

People will always have a reason to complain, stand o street corner Passing out hundred dollar bills and listen to the complaints about your speed fairness of delivery ect.

*Kisses rook*

*snuggles puppy*

*giant glomp and a Kiss for Madison and all her help with my sig*

*licks and cuddles Becky*

Morning Yankee, want a donut to go with that?

*Flies her FBBC into rooks*

Normally I don't post in Rook threads, but I've been reading from the very beginning, and the big difference between Rookery threads and the old fluff-bombers is that y'all aren't trying to derail other threads or going out of your way to boost post count by posting mindless one-liners like a spastic five year old on a sugar rush. It may be silly, but it's the kind of silly that still has some content worth reading. Nobody said the world had to be serious all the time, after all.

So, I totally agree here. The haters need to just get over themselves and stop harassing people over what they disagree with. Don't like it? DON'T READ IT. You have every right not to like something, but you have no right to harass others. Period.

Besides, It's one thread a day! And as has been said, it's not like these forums are exactly teaming with interesting discussion, TF requests, or anything else. Without the Rookery, these forums would be kinda boring.

Also, @Neko, re: your post on that other thread, on a personal note, I actually never knew one of the goals of the new-post-a-day thing was to allow new people an in. I just assumed it was to "start the story fresh", so to speak. That's actually a neat idea.

Anyway... I fully expect to catch negative rep for this, but I don't care. You guys are part of what makes Virtue unique from a lot of MMO communities I've been apart of in the past.

*slinks off to lurk againa*
Edi: And that took a lot longer to write than I anticipated. Apologies if I dropped that wall of text on anyone's toes there

( grins and takes donut frum Fedor, fluffs down on love seat)

I completely agree with Emerald. I have often read the Rookery and lurked away without posting, but most certainly always enjoy the silliness and humor. Long live Virtue. Long live the Rookery.

( gives a rather fluffy salute, spilling some coffee in the process )

Hi Emerald, thanks for the nice comments. Stop back and have breakfast sometime!

Np, emerald and WELOCME to the Rookery!!

Speacking of new friends *points to the portal,* Puppy have you gone to the EU yet

*taps foot*

I'd do it But do you realy want me Representing?

Thanks all for your support. It is well appreciate.....*Ooks from the drive-by FBBCing* Pink bean bag....I wonder who it coulda been? :P

But really it is hugely appreciated and honestly if people are having fun and not breakin the rules that's what it is all about.

I've always wanted to get this as my license plate. "L I" Just so people would ask me what it meant and I could say, "It's L I F E. It's just two short."

And so, I think we all need berry ice cream, cause really it's gonna be a hot one down here!

/e starts dishing out ice cream and handing it out.

Here ya go Neko, and Kegan, and Emerald, and Pogo and Fedor and BP and Tech and YankeeDave and Cien and Daddies Princess, *blushes at being kissed* Garsh, and everyone else that my poor brain can't remember.

Enjoy!

They'd totally try to steal our princess...you know how the EU is about royalty

( enjoys some berry ice cream )

Rook- where is that avatar from? Its incredible.

It's very busybusy.

*Swoops his UFO down to grab a tiny dish of ice cream.*

So you are new to these parts Yankee?

Oooh, ice cream. Thanks Rooky. It's looking to be a scorcher again today, that's for sure. Though honestly, it hasn't been as bad this year as the last couple of years. Even the Yellow Devil seems to be in remission, I didn't have to dose myself silly in alergy medicine this year to get through.

Hello Emerald and Dave. I wonder who that was lurking back there in the shadows. Thank you for your words of support, and you're always welcome here, same as everybody else. I don't think the 'start a new thread to be more accessable to newcomers' was ever in the charter or anything. (Wait.. we have a charter?) But it is one of those things that is observable. It's a lot harder to break into something that's been going on for a long time. But by starting new every day, that lowers the accessability bar by a lot, making it a more welcoming place. And that definetly is in the charter. If we have one.

No ice cream Diet *feeds her bowl to Becky*

( slurps the berry ice cream, fluffily)

Thanks for the donuts, ice cream, and kind welcome.

Fedor- I've played the game for about 3 months now, after about a 1 1/2 year hiatus. I am back in love with the game and pretty much make virtue my home. I was on Freedom for a while, but I seem to find more congenial personalities here on Virtue. I'm not even a big MMO fan, but I have always loved comics and superheroes, so this was my dream game. My other hobby is drinking beer and throwing steel tip darts at the local watering hole.

I used to be decent at darts, have not played in years and it was always the plastic tipped ones. I have not played any other MMOs so not sure if I would like them or not. Paying for one is enough for now. Heh.

* stares in amazement at the fluffy ninjafairykitten sphere, jaw agape *

I have played WOW, LOTOR, and Guild Wars. I do not have an account on any of those now. 'Nuff said.

Darts and friends is a great time, but I am taking it a bit more seriously in the past year- went to my first tournament a few weeks back. I played well, but still a very humbling experience.

* gets up to get another coffee and glances at the server status *

Wait, servers are down? *facepalm* I thought it was just my problems... though it still could be the problems, but at least in windowed mode I can see the background screen now. It just... takes... forever... to... load... Then when I signed in it crashed on me. Well, try again later when the servers are up.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bday art done

Down? They might be reapplying the Manticore/Chat bug patch. Hopefully monkey's don't cause disconnects anymore.

Thats awesome, Princess.

Servers up , but make sure you run the Updater- small patch to be had.

Edit- actually it seems rather large

Servers back up
