Lobsters?
Does someone have butter? I'm hungry.
Wouldn't that be xenophobia?
Potato, tomato.
I just want to drink tea, dammit!

@MARTy McFly
but where are we going to find a harbor with ships full of tea withoutbeing accosted by the enforcer the Devs have out in place to keep the space lobster down; Lusca! (or should that end in a questtion mark?(oh, well now it does. (dammit, now it's a period.)))
My dear Doctor Paradox, I had not thought of that! Those crafty devs consider everything!
Hmm. I shall retire to my thinking place, and come back with a new idea to force their hand at dismantling this racist prejudice!

We can just take it to Talos where Lusca doesn't spawn, we might not get as many tea ships, but we'll avoid Lusca.|

besides, the calamari only spawns way out in the middle of the bay, we'd be safe even if we did do IP.

Storm Summoning is great because it makes you better than everyone else in the game. - Camma
Knockback is mitigation. It won't be removed just because meleers ***** and moan. - Chaos Creator
A lot of emotes don't work in Dwarf form, sadly. Like, I dunno, /e sit ? Amongst others. I'd swear they used to...
Bring back our emotes! D=

You are a robot, you shall remain emotionless.
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
And my gorilla cannot do a lot of emotes when he is carrying his shield!!
They hate Gorillas too!!!
I'm not kidding... if the animators don't fix this yesterday, I am not going to play three weeks ago!!

You think that's bad...Obamas health care plan does not say one thing about super powered beings at all. Talk about bogus.
Well, almost all people originated from Africa so suck on that, racists

It's never been needed, because we already have the medical transporters. Sure, at the start of your career you were using it only when you were near death. But it didn't take long for "being near death" to include waking up in the morning with a slight headache, now did it?

Yeah they used to. The /e sit used to make you sit embedded waist deep in the geometry. I don't recall what if anything was wrong with /e teabag. It looked cute actually. The devs "fixed" them by removing them altogether. Nice job, fellas.

Pratchett spends a bit more time on that in 'The Truth':

'Look, I don't need a heart-to-heart about this, can you understand? My father is not a nice man. Do I have to draw you a picture? He doesn't much like me and I don't like him. If it comes to that, he doesn't like anyone very much. Especially dwarfs and trolls.' 'No law says you have to like dwarfs and trolls,' said Goodmountain. 'Yes, but there ought to be a law against disliking them the way he does.' 'Ah. Now you've drawn me a picture.' 'Maybe you've heard the term "lesser races"?' 'And now you've coloured it in.' 'He won't even live in Ankh-Morpork any more. Says it's polluted.' 'That's observant of him.' 'No, I mean' 'Oh, I know what you mean,' said Goodmountain. 'I've met humans like him.' |
He also spends a little time on the subject of tolerance of sexual orientation in 'Unseen Academicals'.
With the right presentation, ugliness becomes hilarious, and occasionally loveable.

Let's just all talk about Discworld.
Ridcully just says you can never have too much love in the world... no relation to the nature of a certain other head of a wizard school, no sir. 
Ladies and Gentlemen of the forums, it has just come to my attention that the drink tea emote does nothing while in Black Dwarf form.
I urge all free-thinking people to join my campaign to find some tea, and throw it into some docks if the Devs don't address this vile racist slur immediately! I don't know what they have against space lobsters drinking tea, but we are supposed to be an enlightened City of Heroes, goddammit!
(fortunately, the protest emote does work in Lobstah form).
